Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"Acceleration, ,fuel economy (V6 ENGINE) ,and visibility (especially since I am tall) are all excellent."
Anonymous, ON (2011 Ford Edge)"I am told that to improve mileage, which does not work, the acceleration on the highway feels inadequate. The vehicle often labors on hills, especially for a 285? engine. The ride and handling are good. The noise level needs improvement, both wind noise and tire rumble."
David B., NJ (2011 Ford Edge)"The V6 gets up and moves. I have found myself doing 90plus before I realized it because it drives and handles so smoothly and quietly."
James B., SC (2011 Ford Edge)"Ride is hard but tight. Poor acceleration, transmission is lacking !"
John Z., MI (2011 Ford Edge)"To me it is a very nice highway car. Quiet on the road, good gas mileage. When you enter a highway you have enough power to accelerate into traffic without any problem."
Francis D., IL (2011 Ford Edge)"good power solid ride very comfortable"
Anonymous, IA (2011 Ford Edge)"After 8 years of driving I still receive positive comments on the looks of the automobile. I have the Sport model that is low slung to the ground on skinny tires. The paint looks almost as good as the day I picked up the car."

GARY M., CA (2011 Ford Edge)"The ford sync program and there silly screen system is a real piece of work. I got an extra 5 year warranty from ford.
