Looking at Traverse for a daily driver now. Any issues with them??

Last summer DW was T-boned in her 2004 Buick Rainier and it was totaled. So we went a drove a few SUVs new and couple years old. Used Highlander which was sold but made me feel like my toes were sticking up behind the dash. 2019 Tahoe which I liked and she felt was to big. New Traverse that felt like a plastic pig that needed 6 kids jumping around in it, and not inspiring at all, and we did not need or want a third row seat.

Then we got in a 2015 Ford Edge Sport with the twin turbo 2.7L V6. Drove it a short distance turned and high fived each other. It was a Canadian import and showed rust on the brake rotor hubs, so we turned in down.

Back home I found a 2020 Edge ST with the twin turbo 2.7L V6 with 335HP and 380 ft lbs of torque that was deeply discounted as service loaner with 1500 miles on it. We brought that home the next day. It is a kick to drive with a tuned performance suspension. I am signed up for Ford's free ST Performance Drive Experience in Park City Utah June first. They buy you diner and one night in motel and the next day you do a road trip in one of their Edge ST's, then skid pad and finally do laps on a track. I think somewhere during the day they let you experience the vehicles collision avoidance feature.

So if you want a sporty SUV that does not cost 60K, see if you can find a close out 2020 which are discounted around 10K right now. 0-60 in 5.7 secs and 14.1 98+ mph in the 1/4 mile in a 4500 lb SUV with a suspension tuned to handle this kind for power and performance.
