First poster with a new 08 Edge

[robdog]

My wife loves her new edge so I would definitely recommend at least a test drive and they are way affordable compared with the VW Toureg. (I was really disappointed with VW and not offering any finance deals )

Good luck in your new car search and let us know what you get/find.

If somebody would have told me 2 years ago i'd be a died-in-the-wool Dodge/Cummins fan and owner I'd have said they were crazy. So, having a Ford in the stable isn't that far outside the realm of possibilties. I'm keeping an open mind.

When you visit the Ford dealer remember to look at both their crossovers, the Edge and the Taurus X. While the Edge is more stylish, the Taurus X is lighter with the same powertrain and 3 rows of seats that will actually hold 7 adults. You may have to specifically ask to see the Taurus X since Ford seem to be hiding it.

My wife's WS transmission just pooched. She want's a Edge, I'm thinking the Taurus X is the better choice.
Sorry to hijack the thread but anyone driven both and have some points to make about either??

Hi, I'm knew to the post. I've been doing research on the Freestyle because I have brought my 2005 Freestyle into the shop for the 4th time due to a water leaks. presently, my cargo area is soaked and moldy. The Freestyle posts, which are numerous I add, say the problem is with the moon roof drainage tubes, yet, it is believed that these are a design flaw and Ford can't fix it. Yeah, 31,000 on the car and everytime it rains, I get water and mold. Nice! My question is this: Does anyone know if the Taurus X has this same problem. If it wasn't redesigned and it doesn't look like it, does anyone have water issues.

id been the wondering about the Taurus X so thanks all for the info. My wife dying to get an Edge ever since we rented one last summer... absolutlely fantastic ride if you want a crossover. i want one bad myself but cant justify buying a new car that doesnt get 30 MPG. i plan on keeping my Exploder fo awhile.

Haha yeah I hear you about the gas mileage. I think we will be getting rid of the Edge once the lease is up. Only getting about 19mpg which is crappy compared to some cars that get 30+. So sad too, I really like the Edge, maybe they will make some improvements in the future and increase the MPG.
