Renting a car used to mean getting stuck with the oldest, most-outdated cars that were still being produced. Today, you can rent the newest models that are in high demand. I recently took my family on a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and we wound up renting a 2012 Ford Edge SUV with more than 20,000 miles on it. I picked it over the other SUV choices — Jeep Liberty and Ford Expedition — because I knew it d have a USB plug for our always-depleted smartphones.
This is a good-looking bur dubai discount hotels SUV. A black rental car in Florida isn t a great idea in summer, but it was overcast during our entire stay and I liked being the dad in the black SUV rather than driving something beige or silver colored.
Highway mileage was a consistent 22 mpg versus bur dubai discount hotels the EPA-estimated 27 mpg on the sticker. It averaged a little lower after getting to the hotel (pictured above). With two adults, two children and a full cargo area, I can understand bur dubai discount hotels the mpg drop, especially bur dubai discount hotels because I was traveling on a toll road with a 70 mph speed limit and using air conditioning lightly. Even though the front-wheel-drive Edge performed well versus its specs, bur dubai discount hotels I d want to own a car that did better. bur dubai discount hotels My all-wheel-drive Outback with a four-cylinder returned mileage in the high 20s this summer bur dubai discount hotels when it was similarly loaded; it s rated at 29 mpg highway.
Ford needs to add more cubbies to its SUVs. There is nowhere to stow a smartphone in the open — to follow GPS directions, find restaurants — besides the front row s two cupholders, bur dubai discount hotels which were usually full.
When Sync first came out I thought it was the most user-friendly audio device ever put into a car. Now, even in a model without the aggravating MyFord Touch, Sync responds poorly. I don t understand why I needed to routinely tell it via the voice prompt to play the USB source. Perhaps I m missing a lesson somewhere, but it could be more intuitive.
The cargo area is pretty high off the ground. It may only be a problem when throwing large — just below the 50-pound airline weight limit — suitcases in, but I could see it being an ongoing headache for owners of average height.
As a Ford certified technician and owner, I have some feedback on your decent and welcome review. Your fuel economy: the meter needs to be reset before you drive to be accurate to your one trip. Also any time parked in idle goes against the current measurement. Sync: there have been extensive software updates to improve functionality of the interface.
