 We looked at a variety of smaller SUV's... downsizing from an 11 year old Tahoe Z71.  We waited for the Ford Edge 2016 to gain the Sync 3 and Drivers Assist package.  The Sync 3 is very easy to navigate.  My son has a 2015 Explorer Sport with the Ford Touch and it's not near as user friendly.I must admit it was a bit unnerving the first time I started to change lanes on the freeway WITHOUT turning on my turn signal and then have the steering nudge me back into my own lane.  Now I remember to use the signal. LOL.The Edge is an extremely quiet ride and the interior is nicely appointed with soft surfaces everywhere.  We got a Pearl White Titanium AWD with all the options with the Ceramic interior.We special ordered the Edge and it was well worth the wait.Update: We had a "common" problem with the new "Adaptive Steering". It was a pain... dealer or Ford initially couldn't figure it out.  Once they did... no problems.  Been over a year abd 10,000 miles and it is still fum to drive.
