Still, the comforts are plenty, with a wealth of electronic spoils–including a reverse sensing system, full-color navigation and satellite radio. As for performance, this five-seat, six-speed automatic moves well for its size, with enough power from a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. I found the all-wheel drive great for foul-weather driving, though somewhat of a guzzler at the tank. Inside, there’s a pleasing mix of colors and a truly massive sunroof, but I was disappointed by the cheapo audio and climate controls. In all, the Edge is a fine family ride–just, please, call it something else.
Tip: Pocket $4,725 and get a smidge better fuel economy with the front-wheel drive version.
