Safety

Alas, I’ve come to the point at which I can’t complain any longer. The Edge is a star in the safety arena. It’s even earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick award. To garner this award, a car must score Good in IIHS front-, side- and rear-impact crash tests, and it must have an electronic stability system.

The Edge has front-, side-impact and side curtain airbags and four-disc antilock brakes with traction control.

There are a few other standard safety features that deserve special attention, including the blind-spot mirror on the side mirrors, anti-theft key that immobilizes the engine in case of theft and the SOS-Post Crash Alert System, which continuously flashes the hazard lights and honks the horn after an accident to signal distress. 

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: The cargo area is gigantic, which means it can handle a lot more than just a stroller.
In School: The doors might be too heavy for young kids to manage, but there’s lots of room for booster seats.
Teens: There’s plenty of legroom in the backseat, and it’s got tons of safety features, which helps alleviate some fears when your teen is driving.
