Reader’s Question:

I have plans on buying a Ford vehicle and have seen some photos of the Ford Edge in an automotive Magazine based here in Houston, Texas. Can you give some walk around attributes for this newest Ford model?

I was able to take a closer look at the 2008 Ford Edge during the last car show held in Houston, Texas. It quite looked bigger than it looks on photos, probably because it has a long wheelbase and wide track. It is also about 8inch shorter than the Ford Explorer while its base wheel is almost 2 inches shorter. With this specification, the Ford Edge appears to be more solid. Its 4 wheels are close to each corner which makes it look more firmly planted on the ground. It has a very aggressive stance that makes it outstanding as compared to traditional SUVs. The Ford Edge bears Ford’s prestige on bold American designs. The big chrome grille is perfectly positioned forward and its wide chrome slats merges into quite small headlights on each side. The windshield inclines forward like a sports car or modern minivan while the high hood is short.

With all these features, I say that the Ford Edge is a perfect match for people who are more into SUVs. It is a practical choice especially that it is a combination of a sporty vehicle with wide space inside. It may look like a go-kart for some, yet it resembles an aggressive stance. I was really fascinated by this fabulous SUV that I am already raising money to buy one. I was already set with a reliable car insurance which I found on this page. Enough preparation once I drive home this baby.
