... Guys, in my country both the 2014 Edge SE and Escape SE cost about the same... I was originally inclined to buy an Escape but I've been reading reviews and thus leaning towards the Edge... Which one should I choose and why?... we are a familiy of four and usually haul a lot of stuff... thanks in advance...

 

I go with the Edge the Escape has to many recalls!

 

If you get Escape dont get the 1.6 engine they have issues.

 

The Edge has a bit more room, and gets equivalent fuel mileage. If they are priced the same, I'd go with the Edge. The older Escape models have the aerodynamics of a large refrigerator, and their mileage suffers at higher speeds. The Edge will do better.
