Well I am at the FORD. Fooled Once Regret Daily. I have a 2015 SHO and the dealer / Ford will not repair my rusting trunk lid outside seam on the underside that is rusting all the way around the trunk lid. 4 year old cars should not rust. Its taken this long to get a Final NO we will not repair so go f**k yourself from Ford.
That being said my wife and I are actively trying to see what we can get as deals will be good you would assume as 2017's come off their 3 year leases.
New ....... The Hyundai Kona is decently fast with the 1.6T but its small.
Ford Edge Sport 2017 / 2018. 2.7 TT.
Lincoln MKX with the 2.7TT 2017 / 2018.
We were driving a bunch of cars b4 all the lock downs and I hate to say it but the 2.7 TT is the best motor in the price class we are looking at.
Then the 3.5 TT Flex is viable and they drive really well,
New you can pick up a 2019 Ford EDGE ST for around $38k - $40k
I like the Lincoln MKX the best, Better Dealer / Care about people. Just get it with the 2.7 TT and see if you can get one with a CPO.
