I just took a test ride in an Edge. Most features like the ride and handling were great. Good pickup also. One thing did seem a little different to me. When weather permits, I like to have the driver's side window down and rest my arm on the sill. I found the Edge's driver window sill at a unusually high position. For me to rest my arm on the open window sill required an almost perpendicular position for my arm. I was in an Edge with manually adjustable seats. After the test ride, I sat in another Edge with power seats which would raise me higher but then my head hits the roof. Is the high sill necessary for building a safer door?

The small greenhouse coupe-like look is in these day and the Edge is no exception. Had they made the windows larger it probably wouldn't have looked as good as it does. Just my $.02.

However, something taller, like the Edge, can afford to have a larger greenhouse without sacrificing safety. I'm sure it does make the Edge safer to raise the window bottom like they seem to have done, but I still say styling had a lot to do with it too.

Replying to: baggs32 (Dec 13, 2007 6:12 am) I will have to sit it the Edge with power seats again to determine if my arm will be comfortable resting on the window sill. There is a plus side to not resting my arm on the sill. The fabric will not wear out on the inside of the door window sill like it always has on my vehicles. |
