Brilliant looking car you have probably bought the Freelander 3 that Ford Premier Automotive would have built , if they had retained ownership of the LR brand . Much sharper looking and more purposeful than the Discovery Sport .

The Kuga uses the same 2.0L Ecoboost engine as I have in my Freelander. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Collect on Thursday confirm she has the BiTurbo and Auto box as well as mile long list of 'goodies' - cracking car still under Mfr warranty and yes it's another white one :





Nice car, Nice Colour, Enjoy.

The Ford Edge was on my shortlist, between my two Freelanders. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

Sorry......Uluru...... Jeez! Stick with Ayers Rocks for Petes sake, or Bruce’s

I know where I fit in the pecking order against an F350!

In the city the Freeland feels a reasonable size. In the outback I feel like I'm sitting in a thimble! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I wasn’t really aware of this car before this thread but it’s good looking bus that is I like it.

Nor me - but was instantly impressed and yes there is a feel of the FL2 about it - not surprising given Ford's involvement in the past.
It is a big car - I'll try and get a photo of it next to my FL when I do the swapover
Here's a rear view that someone enquired about

Is it true Ford are axing the Edge? 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

You are right, I had not read this before. It seems a pity that it's not to be sold here.

Ford Edge axed from UK sale just months after facelift
Ford confirms dealers have stopped taking orders for large SUV, with no replacement planned for Britain

Too close, too similar to the Kuga line up.

It’s a good car with lots of tech. Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Well the deed is done - the FL2 is no more
Now proud owner of a Ford Edge Vignale which will take me some time to learn all the gizmos and features
Here are a couple of pictures of the two vehicles together for size comparison - I was amazed to find that there is not much difference in physical size yet somehow the Ford manages to look and feel much bigger

It really does look so much bigger than the FL2 hope you enjoy every minute of it.

UPDATE:

Now owned the Edge Vignale for a little while

It has all the toys I would have liked on my FL2 and although it is a bigger car it is easy and comfortable to drive
Economical too - recently did a 200 mile trip and averaged over 40mpg

I think it is a worthy replacement for my FL and would happily recommend the Ford Edge as worth a serious look if you are thinking of changing - pity Ford are no longer supplying RHD models to Europe but there should be plenty of good late model cars available.

Right I think that's it - I'm off now THANKS to all for their help and support over the years
I can be found now on the Ford Owners Forum still as Westville
All the best folks  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

Hope you enjoy

Not for me as it just looks like anything else out on the road with sleek lines and curves. Each to their own though.




 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
