Quick 2011 Edge Sync Review


Recommended Posts

I've got a couple car reviews on my site where I'll drive something and post my reactions and impressions, etc. I wrote a short little overview of the new sync system in the 2011 Edge.

Since then I've driven the 2011 Edge Sport and I've got to say it's really pretty quick compared to the last year model. The AWD felt about the same off the line but honestly felt slower. I did some research and it's actually slower through the 0-60 than the FWD system because it adds 400lbs to the curb weight. Just something to consider (something like 4000lbs vs 4400lbs). It's got new springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bars so the Sport definitely handles better than the lower trims but the AWD system just slows it down. source: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/23/whoops-mt-discovers-ford-edge-sport-slower-than-less-powerful-s/4

 

The new Sync + nav system is flat out awesome and I'll be doing a long-term test on one soon. Currently driving a loaded 2010 Edge and really enjoying it but looking forward to getting to drive a 2011 Sport for a while.

 

Anyone else gotten to play with it?
