"Steering is excellent; the 2.0 liter turbo 4 cylinder engine is very peppy and gets good mileage."
WILLIAM B., NC (2015 Ford Edge)"handles very good ,better than most high end suvs"
MARVIN F., TN (2015 Ford Edge)"Brakes are very touchy (grabby) when wet."
Anonymous, IN (2015 Ford Edge)"It handles well and has a good road feel and is comfortable to drive."
Anonymous, AZ (2015 Ford Edge)"This is probably the best Ford I that I have had. I have leased 10 Ford or Mercurys over the last 22 years. performance and handling are very good for this class car(crossover). I have the 3.5 liter V6."
Anonymous, MI (2015 Ford Edge)"Brakes. First time they ignored my complaint. 2nd time they drove it. Brakes grabbed so bad the seatbelt had to hold them in place. Then they took it through a car wash. Couldn't believe how bad they grabbed then. Ford put out a "memo" on it and put in a replacement part. Much better."
Anonymous, MI (2015 Ford Edge)"The handling is smooth and the acceleration with the 2.0-liter turbo is very good. We drove the 2.7-liter and did not notice a large difference but there was more power with the 2.7-liter. The handling is smooth especially the steering. It is strong and smooth around corners and feels like it has a wide stable stance. Overall the handling and acceleration are exceptional for which we are very pleased with and happy to report."
JAY W., NV (2015 Ford Edge)"Acceleration is slow, for example when you need it to pass a vehicle in a specific time frame,"
Anonymous, AB (2015 Ford Edge)"The Edge Sport is a really quick and well performing car. The brakes are very effective although there is a lot of nose dive when the breaks are applied hard which is rather standard for that class of vehicles."
Anonymous, GA (2015 Ford Edge)"Both acceleration & handling are more than adequate."
KENNETH M., IN (2015 Ford Edge)"Build quality is very good. Driving experience is on par with my prior BMW's. Very comfortable and quick."
PAUL M., FL (2015 Ford Edge)"Acceleration uphill from a stop is poor. Handling is very over boosted at speed, the performance in corners at high speed is somewhat frightening."
Anonymous, CO (2015 Ford Edge)"The safety features of front radar, side warning, sensors to warn of near objects, backup camera etc are excellent. Car handling is very good. Acceleration for such an economical engine is excellent"
JOHN D., NY (2015 Ford Edge)"Quite surprised by how much acceleration the car has with a 4 cylinder."
JERRY M., OH (2015 Ford Edge)"if there is anything "bad"about the ford edge,i haven't found it. ford has a five-star winner with this vehicle."

Anonymous, MI (2015 Ford Edge)"Ride and handling are best we've had . Acceleration Is great considering having the 4 cyl. Engine and gas mileage."
Anonymous, MI (2015 Ford Edge)"The Ecoboost engine provides fantastic acceleration. Our Sport model truly handles like a sports car - holds the road very well on curves and turns, and has a nice tight turning radius. We were thrilled with it on a nearly 10,000- mile cross-country road trip."
Laura D., MD (2015 Ford Edge)"Drives and handles excellent. On the highway it gets 26 mpg. In town mileage sucks. 14 to 15 mpg."
B S., CA (2015 Ford Edge)"The Edge DRIVES easily. Its acceleration is more powerful than that of the Fusion because of its additional two cylinders. The Fusion does accelerates quite well; it has never given me a moment of concern that I might need more power. The Edge's acceleration is noticeably more powerful."
Anonymous, MS (2015 Ford Edge)"The Edge Sport has great acceleration which comes in very handy when merging onto the highway or passing."
Anonymous, MA (2015 Ford Edge)"Good acceleration (V6),holds road very good"
Anonymous, ON (2015 Ford Edge)"I'm impressed with the performance Ford gets out of 4 cylinders. The turbo certainly makes a difference and, best of all, it's only there when I want it, so I get good mileage otherwise."
Jason S., NY (2015 Ford Edge)"Excellent acceleration and overall performance with outstanding fuel economy"
Robert O., FL (2015 Ford Edge)"High off the road with great visibility and solid attachment to highway. Responds smartly to accelerator for entering busy turnpike/interstate with very good rear view, blind spot warning system."
Ralph H., FL (2015 Ford Edge)"Acceleartion is quite well for a 2.0L turbo, especially when using sport mode. Front wheels spin when floored from a stop with quit a bit of torque steer."
Eric B., NJ (2015 Ford Edge)"Acceleration has throttle lag. Handling at highway speeds is over-boosted and frightening. We despise the electric power steering's artificial feel in corners."
Anonymous, CO (2015 Ford Edge)"Electric power steering is direct and very responsive, the turbo acceleration is very quick, maybe too quick it can get you in trouble if your not paying attention."
Anonymous, AB (2015 Ford Edge)"We have the Edge Sport with the 2.7 ecoboost engine and it rocks ! The vehicle drives and accelerates like a sports car."
Melissa B., AR (2015 Ford Edge)"Drives fine. Comfortable interior"
Anonymous, MD (2015 Ford Edge)"Drives well on country roads and highways. The V6 gives plenty of acceleration when passing someone or merging onto the highway. It doesn’t drive like a sports car that hugs the curves at high speed but that’s not what we bought it for."
Michael P., KY (2015 Ford Edge)"Vehicle is the Sport version. Acceleration is exhilarating and very helpful, when entering Interstate highways."
A L., IN (2015 Ford Edge)"Have the 6 cylinder, wish it had a turbo option."
Andy L., IL (2015 Ford Edge)"Very quick acceleration with the V6. Easy and precise steering."
John S., IL (2015 Ford Edge)"I find acceleration and handling very good for an SUV"
Anonymous, MA (2015 Ford Edge)"Some hesitation on shift points when slowing for and accelerating out of corners"
Bill H., OH (2015 Ford Edge)"I enjoy driving my Edge mostly around town. It has plenty of pep for a 4-cylinder vehicle."
James H., MI (2015 Ford Edge)"Brakes are to touchy"
Anonymous, MI (2015 Ford Edge)"The turbo V6 2.7L is a very strong engine that sparkles. It should really be even better with the 8 speed transmission in 2019. Even with the 6 speed on my car, passing performance in Sport mode is very impressive."
Terrence T., CA (2015 Ford Edge)"The 315HP engine is outstanding and it handles like a sport car. I love this car."
William K., IL (2015 Ford Edge)"The acceleration is excellent quickly responding when needed. The handling is good and responsive in avoidance manuevers."
Anonymous, IN (2015 Ford Edge)"very nice to drive"
Anonymous, BC (2015 Ford Edge)"While we purchased the smallest 4 cylinder engine for gas economy, we are impressed with the acceleration from the turbocharger when passing or merging. The handling is responsive."

Anonymous, PA (2015 Ford Edge)"GOES AS FAST AS I NEED TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. HANDLES VERY WELL"
John D., NY (2015 Ford Edge)"Acceleration (4 cycle) is satisfactory. Handling is good"
Peter L., BC (2015 Ford Edge)"Comfort of seat very low"
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Ford Edge)"Acceleration with 2.0L Turbo engine is all that I need. Takes off ramps great too - very little body movement"
Dennis E., MI (2015 Ford Edge)"Fantastic acceraltion from the 2.7 Ecoboost and very good handling for a SUV. Any firmer would take away from rough terrain capabilities."
Anonymous, ON (2015 Ford Edge)"Great gas mileage, very comfortable seats, plenty of power for passing."
Bruce L., SD (2015 Ford Edge)"Very comfortable with extremely good acceleration and handling except as previously noted about the bouncing on uneven roads"
Carolyn W., MD (2015 Ford Edge)"I have taken several trips with this car and am completely satisfied the way it handles on inter states at higher speeds. Cruise control and & side warning indicators have been very helpful. The air conditioned seats are a big plus on long trips in hot weather."
Anonymous, FL (2015 Ford Edge)"More than enough power to handle any acceleration needed."
John P., VA (2015 Ford Edge)"Just mentioned the breaking system is very abrupt. I love my car and will hate to turn it in in the next few weeks as the lease is ending."
Anonymous, NC (2015 Ford Edge)"There is nothing that I can find fault with. It handles very well. It is good in ice and snow. There is nothing I would change in the vehicle. I am a young 85 and have had many cars and this one tops all."
Robert S., ND (2015 Ford Edge)"Very slow resounded and hp not sized well to car"
Anonymous, CA (2015 Ford Edge)"The turbo helps when you need it, but I can still get 29-30 on the highway, even at 75+. For a small engine the 2 liter can accelerate without downshifting when the turbo kicks in. I notice this mostly when accelerating from 20+ mph to 50, it very smooth and feels like a larger displacement motor."
Marc A., MI (2015 Ford Edge)"performs well"
Anonymous, NC (2015 Ford Edge)"Slow acceleration and milage could be better with turbo OR diesel engine. Quick response on turning."
Richard S., FL (2015 Ford Edge)"The turbo 2 litre engine is very responsive and has more than enough acceleration. Handling is good"
Anonymous, AB (2015 Ford Edge)"The car has very good acceleration, with the eco boost motor. For an SUV, it handles good too."

"sometimes the transmission or rear end makes banging sound when backing up. Sometimes the engine is sluggish on heavy acceleration"
