Just two minutes in and he has no idea what that First Edition is. “It’s basically the Badlands” with different rims, tires and decals? That’s ridiculous! Most of the features of the FE are interior.

I think his criticism of the lane keep assist and steering feedback were fair, but the wind noise I can't agree on.

Also, he must have been driving in sport mode or into a headwind if he couldn't get to 25mpg on the highway. I've had no issue hitting the 26mpg EPA rating for a FE on the interstate, even in cold temps. It's usually between 26-27mpg on the interstate for me.

All that said, I thought it was generally an OK review. He correctly pointed out some of the major missing features on the FE.

I agree that I'm not a fan of the First Edition decals but calling the wind noise "deafening" and the fuel economy on the 2.0L "horrible" is inaccurate at best.
