Despite the missing two cylinders, the new EcoBoost engine still pulls like a strong and smooth V-6. There is little lag, and I doubt that most buyers would notice any difference in power delivery. However, they will probably notice the very un-V-6-like noises coming from the engine bay - it may pull like a V-6, but sounds like the four-cylinder it is. What owners of previous Edge models will definitely notice is the electric power-assisted steering. The wheel feels as though it's attached to nothing, and makes the steering seem sloppy. It also gives zero feedback as to what the wheels are doing -- it's like something that belongs in a video game.

2012 Ford Edge has optional and new turbo charged EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine which essentially gives power of V6 but has fuel economy of 4-cylinder. But the reason behind not buying 2012 Edge is due to lot of in-house competition.
