Rental Car Review Ford Edge

Rental Car Review: Ford Edge

ford edge.jpg
The Ford Edge is an oversized minivan.  It drives like a van - a  bit clumsy and uncertain.  While it has plenty of interior space, it isn’t all that comfortable.  The stereo was fine and the power everything was entertaining (a power open/close tailgate is very silly but fun).  But as a car it was simply a pain to drive and maneuver - like suddenly gaining a lot of weight and no muscle.

  • Quiet - the suspension seemed a bit weak but after 64,000 rental km it might be worse than new.
  • Comfortable - fairly comfortable to sit in.
  • Engine - powerful, but not that zippy given the size of the vehicle.
  • Suspension - horrible: flabby weak and noisy
  • Basic amenities - power everything and then some.
  • Stereo - not as good as it could be.
  • Security - no trunk, can’t leave anything in the car.
