I’ve had one for a few years too, and I’m with you on the brakes! They’re a bit sensitive, but overall, I’m satisfied. The ride is comfortable for long trips.
Is it just me, or does the 2013 Edge have a weird turning radius? Sometimes I feel like I’m driving a boat!

Haha! I get that! But hey, it’s stable on the highway, right? Gotta love that!
For me, the spacious cabin makes it worth the slight bulkiness. Plus, having rear seats that fold flat is a lifesaver!
Considering the space, does anyone have experience with the fuel economy? Is it as bad as people say?

I average about 22 mpg combined, which isn’t great, but I’ve driven worse. Just keep your foot off the accelerator!
My Edge’s fuel economy was around 20 mpg, so not much better. But honestly, I love driving it regardless!
Absolutely! The comfort and tech features really elevate the experience. What do you think about the infotainment system?

Honestly, the infotainment has its quirks. It works well most of the time, but can be a bit slow on updates. It’s decent for its age though.

I just checked the current Blue Book value for a 2013 Ford Edge, and it’s hovering around $13,000 to $18,000 depending on the trim and mileage. It’s one of the more affordable options in its class now.
Thanks for the info! How does it compare in terms of reliability with the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V?
When I had my Ford Edge, I noticed it had a very smooth ride. It definitely feels more like a crossover than an SUV. The trunk space is also a big plus compared to some competitors like the Nissan Murano.
I totally agree! The ride quality is excellent, but I found the fuel economy to be lacking—especially compared to the CR-V.
Performance-wise, the Edge’s V6 engine offers solid acceleration, but I feel like the turbocharged options from brands like Ford rival it in efficiency and power—what are your thoughts on that?

While the V6 is powerful, the fuel efficiency can be underwhelming—especially for daily commuters. It makes you rethink options like the Mazda CX-5 for better mpg!
The safety ratings of the Edge are pretty solid with features like rearview cameras and advanced airbags. However, it lacks some newer driver-assist technologies compared to the latest Subaru Forester.
That’s a good point! I wonder if that impacts its resale value against more tech-savvy models. Any sale experiences to share?

From my perspective, the Edges are great for families due to spacious interiors. It’s essential to weigh those factors against newer models that might have better tech but less room!
Exactly! Choosing a vehicle is all about prioritizing what matters most—space or tech. Do you see the Edge lasting in terms of longevity?
If we’re talking longevity, I’d argue that the Ford Edge can hold its own, but maintenance costs can be higher. Have you guys run into many repairs?
