7 passengers over 5 in Edge but Edge looks a lot cooler

Thank you very much guys. I hear the Ford Edge s pretty expensive to maintain.

What is expensive with oil change and tire rotation?

That is all you need for any car, remember both of them are same just under different name.

most of the new cars use 5w20 which is not available in Nigeria.

If you are worried about how expensive it is to maintain, ask the guy who just lost his Camry to robbers; you need something you don't have to fear driving.

Both of cars are equally good.

Buy the best one out of the two in terms of previous maintenance history.

i have a colleague that uses a Ford.....i bet he cursed the day he bought that vehicle......

So what kind of ford does your friend own?

Your problem might be caused by lack of knowledge, if you know a little more about cars, then you will understand most of the problem is caused by owners and mechanics; fewer problems cause by bad roads from the complaints I have seen on this forum.

I have seen a lot of people post problems with their Murano, Camry,Accord and Highlander but not one on a Ford Edge.

It could be argued that there fewer Edges on Nigerian roads, but the stat indicates the Edges sells a lot more than Murano, and Highlander

actually its more like nechanics and lack if parts. the gearbox and engine of that car was changed within 10months of purchase.....as well the AC was havin issues the last time we went to work.

Comparing Ford Edge & Mazda CX-9 is like comparing Pontiac Vibe & first generation Toyota Matrix or comparing Hyundai Accent & Kia Rio.

Both CUVs are similiar in design, powered by the same engine, and I suspect reliability will be almost the same. Whichever one you buy, its not a car that you'll give to a roadside mechanic. As pointed out above, the CX-9 is a 7 seater while the Edge is a 5 seater, and personally, the CX-9 is more beautiful in and out & more suitable for a family.

& these cars are generally reliable if you take good care of them & adhere strictly to maintenance schedules, i don't forsee a problem. However, join or at least visit the cars' dedicated forums before and after purchase so you know what you are buying very well already & know what and what not to expect.
