pamsb Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I am considering a 2012 Edge Limited with 301A and 20" wheels. One dealer suggested an SEL (with 205A, NAV, Vista Sunroof, Power Liftgate and 20" wheels) instead as a way to save a couple of thousand dollars. Any idea on the differences, pros/cons of either configuration? Thanks for any insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Greene Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I am considering a 2012 Edge Limited with 301A and 20" wheels.

Any idea on the differences, pros/cons of either configuration? Thanks for any insight. We close the Limited to get memory and garage door opener. Didn't want the heavy 20" wheels (figured they hurt performance and economy and ride rougher), but certainly don't like the chrome clad wheels on Limited. I believe I much prefer the stock SEL wheels over the Limited stock wheels. Edited January 26, 2012 by Ralph Greene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timf Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The big difference I see is the Intelligent Access with Push-button Start is only available on the Limited and not the SEL. For me this is a deal breaker, since once you have it you'll never want to go back to a conventional key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldsedge Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I ordered a Edge SEL with option package 202a, 20" chrome weels and Back Lite Door sil. I think I got a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsedge Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Up here in the same country that the vehicle is made we don't even have an option 205A, go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2013 models, my SEL has push button start when you opt for the driver entry package - which also includes perimeter alarm, power liftgate and remote start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgy Girl Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That package is only offered on SEL in Canada. In the US, you can only get it on Limited or Sport. FINALLY!! A Canadian perk considering the Edge is assembled just 40kms from my home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsedge Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is unprecedented, a Canadian perk, I have never heard of it. Maybe it will start a trend directed at our market for a change, we're finally out of the igloos. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Didn't want the heavy 20" wheels (figured they hurt performance and economy and ride rougher),... Finally, FINIALLY there is some one out there with a few brain cells ! Anything over 16" on a non-truck vehicle is just wretched over kill !!! Plus wait until you have to buy tires. It cost my buddy over $100 more than what it cost me to buy tires for his Fusion. He had 17" rims, I had 16" Those gigantic wheels are one reason I would not but an Edge of any kind. Weren't CUVs supposed to be and evolutionary step from SUVs and not just another “ghetto” cruiser ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
