The front passenger seat can even fold flat to accommodate items up to 8-feet in length. The space behind the rear seats is nothing short of cavernous, and if you want even more, the back seats fold flat with optional power switches. There is truly enough room for three adults in the back, without bad personal space violations. Climbing in the back seat, I found enough legroom and headroom to stretch out and relax.even behind the driver's seat with it adjusted to my liking. While I had headroom, I felt as though the seat should be able to adjust down a bit more. The front seating position is high, which is something you could expect from a midsize crossover, however I found the seat to sit a little too high for my 6'4" frame. A far cry from the hard plastic and low-grade materials in the prior Edge. Elsewhere, everything you can rest your paws on is soft-touch and high quality. Most intriguing is the dashboard with only one physical gauge, the speedometer, and two 4.2-inch color LCD screens flanking either side (more on that later). On the inside, the Edge coddles you in a swath of technological high-quality goodness. The 2011 Edge looks large and in-charge without actually being so, which is a feat that most designers lust after, but so rarely achieve. It, along with large wheels, low ride height, and LED side markers make for a masculine vehicle that looks like nothing else in its segment. That's probably for the better because you wouldn't want to dent or scratch the large three-bar chrome grille (painted black on the sport). When I got the keys, I tried to drive it on the edge of a building, but Ford engineers stopped me before I hit the wall. The result is a vehicle that stands out in its class for style, refinement, technology and practicality. For 2011, Ford heard the call loud and clear, and has completely redesigned the Edge inside and out. It wasn't a bad vehicle, which is evidenced by the 400,000 sold mark being broken just a few weeks ago, but it could have been improved in many ways. I never understood this commercial, and much like the commercial, the first generation Edge felt like a vehicle that probably made sense in concept, but in practice was just missing a few key details. Interestingly, the overly-attractive twenty-something driver and passenger weren't at all alarmed by this, and were having fun while the song "Miles and Miles" by DEE quipped "I like to live on the Edge!". ![]() When the Ford Edge first went on sale in 2006, it was accompanied by a TV advertising campaign that showed the vehicle defying the laws of physics by driving on the edge of walls and buildings. ![]()
