I rarely keep a vehicle more than 3 years; the Edge has been 1 of the exceptions. Comfortable, smooth, quiet, and very well equipped with all the creature comforts and features you could want. Great vehicle for long trips. Outstanding rear seat room. The vista roof gives a feeling of openness. It is also one of the best looking in its class with a muscular stance. Reliability for the most part has been very good. It does feel a bit larger that is actually is when driving but most likely due to the high seating position. The one major drawback would have to be fuel economy. Do not expect the #'s Ford provides as you will never achieve them.
