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.
