Ford Edge As A First Card ,your Suggestions Please by Pmedia7787: 7:24pm On Apr 03, 2022
I opted in for this and going for a ford edge of 2008-2011,
I have seen difference in cost and all,

But just wanted to know about the advantages of this vehicle,
Lexus of thesame years cost more and I wonder why,

This is the first car,and trying to understand the best for myself,

The fueling cost is not really an issue for me,as I have some awareness,

But I know nothing about vehicles as it is now

Bros.. be ready to buy a new engine after 7months... That car is not strong... It has a factory fault/error... Just be ready to spend some cash... I'd advise you go for a Lexus or Pontiac

The problem is the CAT. My Boss has changed his engine twice. Now that he has removed the CAT, the car is doing very well without engine issue

How about the fuel consumption and parts availability?

The funny thing you will get ford SUV Nigeria use for 1.2m

The problem I think is the parts and mechanic. Most America technology are too complex. Difficult to understand and repair by third party and aftermarket parts.

So because your boss probably bought a lemon and has an illetrate kazeem as his mechanic who makes him change engines after every 7mnths, every Ford Edge is automatically crap and generally a bad car?

Mr Poster, Nairaland is a very bad place to ask for review of any car that is not Toyota and probably a Honda. Join real online car forums and also try locate real users in ur locale and ask for reviews pls. In this place, a car is automatically bad if it is not a Toyota.

After a car worked for 14 years you are saying it won.t last 7 months in Nigeria

Is the problem really the car, owner or mechanic?

I think people just come up with some horro stories when a car choice is not Toyota.
No one ever want to hear of any horror story from a Toyota.

Parts are available. Fuel consumption is not too good

I'm very much interested in this topic. I've been thinking about this car seriously but I'm surprised the price is relatively low when compared to others.

All I know is that generation of ford edge is prone to water pump failure which if not discovered on time will leak into the engine and cause catastrophic engine failure
The location of the water pump is also deep inside the engine and its not so easy replacing it like Japanese brands.

Apart from that, its quite reliable and a beast on the road( powerful v6)

They do replacement every 4yrs. With the engine issues of Ford, management changed to giving them the money to buy whatever suits them

I just read some user reviews about the 2011 Edge on Edmunds and a blown water pump (sudden) which leads to catastrophic engine failure is a regular occurrence. It's a beautiful car but I'll suggest you should be careful when purchasing it or better still, get something more reliable

For a 2011 car, I am thinking the water pump will have blown and part replaced.

If you are looking for issue you will surely see because there is no car without one.

What is your alternative to the ford edge request for its issues too and make sure you are making balanced comparison.

In summary think Ford makes really beautiful and to large extent reliable cars.
