Ford Edge
Overall Score - 8.1 (Very Good)
The all-new Edge delivers solid performance, a comfortable interior and stylish looks that match the best in its class. If you are in the market for an affordable midsize SUV, you might also want to consider the much-acclaimed GMC Acadia and Honda Pilot.
The 2007 Ford Edge has been applauded for its safety ratings, nifty styling, comfortable cabin and solid performance. According to the Detroit News, "From just about any angle, the Edge looks like a winner -- rock-solid, utterly capable and almost universally appealing." The Los Angeles Times agrees, and describes the Edge as "a very appealing, if not quite magical, bit of transportation."
Cars.com claims, "It's definitely worthy of consideration for shoppers seeking a midsize SUV," and Consumer Guide recommends, "Give Edge a look, but favor an SE model or a judiciously equipped SEL for best dollar value." IntelliChoice gives the 2007 Ford Edge a rating of "average" for its predicted five-year total cost of ownership compared with other cars in its class.
Edge Performance - 7.7 (Good)
Most reviewers praise the 2007 Ford Edge's ride and handling. The only drawback seems to be that it doesn't really qualify as "sporty," and as the Los Angeles Times explains, it has "little appetite for aggressive driving." Kelley Blue Book sums it up best by stating that the Edge "is an extraordinarily well-rounded way to move throughout the world." continue
Edge Exterior - 8.6 (Very Good)
Ford hit a home run as far as the Edge's styling is concerned. According to most reviews, it's a head-turner.

Edge Interior - 7.9 (Good)
The 2007 Ford Edge, which seats five, manages to combine comfort and style, providing a vehicle which is family friendly and ideal for long commutes.
