 Traded in our 2012 ford escape for the new 2015 edge. We actually own a SEL 6 cyl. (But the review wouldn't give me the option). It's a responsive engine, Doesn't feel sluggish. We still aren't getting great MPG. But I suppose that'll come the more we break it in. Has a few blind spots, but that's to be expected with any vehicle... it's still easy to maneuver. Easy to see out of. I test drove the hyundai santa fe sport and it doesn't even come close to the edge! The edge feels more sturdy. I feel it'll last a long while! We have a 4 yr old and it's easy for her to get in and out of the vehicle, she has plenty of room in the back and she loves the cup holders that come down from the back middle seat. We unfortunately haven't taken it on a long drive that's over 2 hrs. But so far the front seats seem comfortable for both me and my husband. We are loving it! Love the close tailgate button.. very handy for me only being 5'3. My only concern is the material they used around the cupholders. It seems to scratch very easily. But other than that, we are very happy with our purchase and plan to keep it for years!!
