Full Description: Strong acceleration, agile handling, a smooth ride and a roomy passenger compartment give the 2008 Ford Edge major points in the midsize crossover segment. Unfortunately, mediocre braking performance sullies its otherwise impressive credentials.Midsize crossover SUVs are fast becoming the family car of choice. Offering carlike ride and handling along with a more reasonable size and fuel economy than traditional truck-based sport-utilities, these crossovers have found appeal with a wide range of shoppers.Ford's entry for this segment is the Edge. Debuting just last year, the five-passenger Edge boasts handsome looks and a punchy 265-horsepower V6 engine. Inside, the cabin is sufficiently roomy and comfortable for daily use. A third-row seat, an increasingly popular feature for this vehicle segment, isn't available, though its usefulness in competing vehicles is debatable. If you're truly in need of a six- or seven-passenger vehicle, the larger Taurus X is probably a better choice anyway.This year's Edge receives a few new thoughtful features. Among them are the available 'Sync' system (which allows integrated and voice-controlled operation of all kinds of personal electronics such as cell phones and MP3 players), an optional power liftgate and a voice-activated navigation system. There is also a new Limited trim level and optional 20-inch wheels.V6 3.5 Liter,Automatic 6-Spd w/Overdrive,AWD,Traction Control,Stability Control,ABS (4-Wheel),Keyless Entry,Air Conditioning,Power Windows,Power Door Locks,Cruise Control,Power Steering,Tilt & Telescoping Wheel,AM/FM Stereo,CD/MP3 (Multi Disc),Audiophile Sound,Sirius Satellite,Bluetooth Wireless,SYNC,Parking Sensors,Dual Air Bags,Side Air Bags,Heated Seats,Dual Power Seats,Leather,Panorama Roof,Daytime Running Lights,Fog Lights,Roof Rack,Towing Pkg,Premium Wheels,
