Our Edge is used as our family hauler for our two young children. We love the styling and really love the panoramic sunroof. The ride is very comfortable, not at all truck-like, similar to a luxury sedan. Seating is comfortable and there is plenty of room for our family. Gas mileage is pretty good around town, 17-18 and very good on the highway 22-24 range. AWD versions are great in winter driving conditions. We don't really have any complaints.
I am over 6'4" and 240 lbs, and average 21K miles per year - both of which mean I need size comfort and fuel economy. I moved from a Mountaineer and Expedition (both good vehicles for me) into the Edge. Gas economy is 25% better than the two SUV's (which averaged about 15mpg vs Edge 18+mpg), and there's more room inside than the Mountaineer. Check out the weight and measurements before you decide - it looks smaller until you put them side by side! The fuel savings will be huge for me as prices increase. I am very comfortable and the considerable weight of the Edge and large wheelbase make for a great ride on the Interstate. Around town, it's more responsive and easier to park than the Expedition and easy to get in and out of.
