Ford Edge

As a full-time traveler, rental cars are a fact of life. There's always an element of luck in getting a good car when you rent. This last time around, I managed to get a Ford Edge -- Ford's new SUV. While I'm not a fan of domestic cars, I'd heard that they were starting to catch the Japanese in quality. The Edge could be an example of that. I'm reserving final judgement, but so far it seems a nice car. Very roomy, nice set of power features, including memory seats. Power could be better, but rental agencies are notorious for getting the low-priced models, so Ford may have a higher power version.
