My wife and I are looking for a suv for her. She is really diggin a 2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0 turbo 4 banger and awd. Anyone here with experience with them? Also open to other experiences with similar suvs. Thanks
My ex gf had a 2016. We broke up when it had about 85k miles on it. She bought it at around 70k. Service history showed bad axle seal and a few other things. During her ownership the Ford Sync went out, and both wiper motors died. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable vehicle. Build quality was just typical Ford, though. My cx5 was way better assembled and felt like a swiss vault when I traded it in at 80k vs the rattly ford. Id recommend a cx9 over it.My wife and I are looking for a suv for her.

Agreed. My Prime, I have zero of the typical rav complaints with. Hybrid ftwI have 4 Edge trade-ins that I basically can't give away, 4 on the lot right now.
They are appliances, no fun to drive.
V6 Cherokees never last long long.
RAV4s do well - go Hybrid is my strong suggestion. Completely transforms the 2019 RAV4 and newer.
Grand Cherokee is the gold standard imo. 2019 and newer.
The edge ST is deceptively slow for all its power, sadly.I like the looks of them and the 2.7 EcoBoost would be a real sleeper. Dependability is not stellar from what I have read & seen. There's also this to consider:
The Ford Edge and its more luxurious twin, the Lincoln Nautilus, will be discontinued after the 2023 model year, according to Automotive News. Both midsize crossovers are in their second generation, a design that dates back to the 2015 model year.

The ST has 335hp/380tq and an 8 speed. I really expected better of it considering this. Also, the quarter is in the 14s at under 100mph. The 280hp Stelvio beats it. The 250hp cx5 hangs with it. Not impressed vs its paper data.I don't consider 5.7 seconds 0-60 slow at all, especially for a grocery getter/soccer mom car.
My RAV4 V-6 does it in 6.4 which is quite respectable in my eyes.
