My new car... Ford Egde Ltd.

[TimBud]

After hassles with stupid UAE procedures for loans and vehicle registration, I finally drove away in my new car today :)

 

3.5l V6 with 265bhp. Not super fast but, for a CUV its pretty decent.

Has electric everything, which is a real novelty for me... even a keycode lock system.

Full leather interior with 'vista' roof for when you need to see the sky :rolleyes:

 

The Ford guys in the UAE are offering some real good deals right now.

They gave me free insurance/registration/3yrs servicing/5yr engine and gearbox warranty... and a sunscreen for the windscreen. :p

[CarMadMike]

Nice Car mate, loving the chrome grill ;)

[t.]

A sunscreen.... lucky b...... :P

 

Nice car. I'm with mike on the chrome, looks cool and in the sun must blind everyone coming towards you.

[hesonly5]

That's a good looking car... Better then the fugly Kuga :p Nice buy, the chrome grill is very pretty.

[TimBud]

Thx guys. :)

Am having problems keeping the speed and revs low at the moment though... Am supposed to drive it at 80kmh or less for the first 1000kms. But its a real smooth cruise and I often don't realise how fast its going :$

[MCW]

It looks like something a movie made back in the 70s would draw as a 'future car' lol

[Nodz86]

Nice motor, was gonna say how much does it drink but then I don't think petrol prices are a problem out there

[Mb]

That's quite cool.

Never seen that before on the road.

[TimBud]

I don't think its available in Europe (yet), definitely not in the UK.

 

It has a 20 gallon tank which will cost the equivalent of about £14 to fill up! :)

If I'm careful it will to 20mpg :cheeky:

Ever thought of buying in bulk and shipping it over to here and selling it off a rip off prices??

[DriftNismo]

VERY nice, i love that Ford have finally come out with a nice crossover. Yeah, it's not out over here in the UK yet, but i saw a fair amount in the US on holiday. Must sound pretty good with a 3.5 V6 too.

I'm seriously considering importing when we move back the UK. On average car prices over here are about a third of UK prices... so I could easily make a bit of profit if I was that bothered.

Haven't pushed it enough yet to hear the engine properly. Only another 930kms to go before I can do that. :(

I was on about the petrol ;)

[Andreas¹]

Wow, that's one good looking car! The chrome grill, tail lights, and I really like the dials and meters inside :cheeky:

ooops :o

either way I could make some easy money :)

Yeah it is! :p

I was originally planning to get a Toyota FJ Cruiser or a Nissan XTerra, but I saw an Edge outside the showroom and that was it. I bet the dealer saw me coming a mile off. :rolleyes:

[CarMadMike]

The lincoln MKX is no way near as nice as the Ford edge though KTF

[Baltoman]

Wow, a ford edge... how normal... FOR RICH PPL. OMG thats a sweet car you got there, wish I had one ^^

Drive an MKX.

[ExplosiveGoats]

Not really expensive.

 

The MKX is an awesome car my neighbor has one in white.

Nice car but I absolutely disagree with randomus. The Kuga is the better looking for me than the Flex especially in the front. I think the Kuga is the better car at all. But no offense, dude, it`s still a great car, just not the best. :)

[SLRRR]

Looks nice:thumbsup::D

 

 

 

 

SLRRR

[TimBud]

I don't have a Flex?!

I have an Edge.

Plus the Kuga is quite a bit cheaper because its marketed to the UK. Its not really a car you can compare the Edge to. oh except that its a CUV (apparantly), but with only a 2l engine it won't have much power.

£14!!! It costs me roughly £50-£60 to fill up a Fiat Punto 1.2 now!

 

Also, 20 MPG!?! I had a 1975 Land Rover that did that MPG...

 

When the s**t really hits the proverbial fan, in terms of oil, the UAE will probably be hit pretty hard. We'll hardly notice it in the UK with all the tax on oil. Seriously, at least two thirds of what we pay for petrol is tax...

 

That car is nice though, shiny things are very distracting...

[TimBud]

LOL, when that happens the UK will definitely notice it!

Countries like the UAE will stop exporting their oil and keep it for themselves...

But its safe here for another 50-100 years, easy. Saudi has enough for 300 years apparently. And the North Sea reserves are not doing to badly either.

 

When it does all kick off though, it won't matter what size engine you have, because you won't be able to get any fuel.
