Great car. Very comfortable, probably the most comfortable car ever. Its easy to get my down-syndrome uncle in and out. But, the downside is that at about 100,000 miles the transmission will start to slip after driving it about 25-30 minutes, so I can't trust it to pass on the highway. Will more than likely never buy one again :( which makes me said because I loved it at the beginning

why not

I have had my militant for 6 years now. I bought it with only 21,000 miles on it. I drive it a lot and it now has 112,000. Miles on it. Only one big expense after I had it for about 3 years and it cost $500.00 to repair at dealership. Some kind of fuse board burnt out.

Been a good car thus far

We bought this Milan in Sept 2010 with 36,000 miles on it. We have put approximatly 20,000 miles on it already and we havent had any problems. Transmitions fine...Gas mileage is decent, its comfortable and roomy (even with two car seats in back) I have notices one thing though, when I first start it the RPMs run high, but if I give it a second (literaly) they go back down to normal. Certainly the best used car Ive ever had. My husband missed the "get up and go" of our 3.9 liter Impala that we had before it, but we have two kids and Im not trying to haul ass around town or anything, so its perfect. I LOVE the side cutain airbags, makes me feel like the kids are safe! Good car thus far!

I love this car! But after owning it only 9 months (purchased used) the transmission went out! No warranty with 39k miles! It has a auto trans so I'm not sure how this happened? Now I'm stuck with the repair/replacement bills. Will never buy another Mercury again. I bought only after my Mercury sable was a total loss from a guy hitting me. Not a happy Mercury owner right now. Will prob trade off and cut my losses! : (

Just after warranty pin on clutch broke and destroyed trans an clutch. Had purchased extra warranty that covered $3180 repair. this happened after 36,000 mile warranty expired. Actually 110 miles after warranty. Now I find pretty common with Fusions and Milan stick shift. Not real happy considering this is supposed to be such a good automobile.

Very good overall vehicle

For the money, this car is awesome. From the comfy leather seats and sun roof, to the sleek design inside and out. I do wish I had the 6 cyl at times, but I have a 5-Speed which is a bit more power efficient. The stereo sounds better than many stock systems I've heard. The stock wheels are pretty sharp. Very roomy all around for a smaller sedan.

The car drove well at first with regular maintenance. After the first 100,000 miles there were problems with several hoses connected to the exhaust system and it became much louder. At 142, 000 miles it needs a new transmission and several boards. I trusted the brand after a mercury villager minivan that I drove for more than 260,000 miles but I won't buy another mercury vehicle.

bought new in fall 2005 when they first became available. The lincoln MKZ wasn't out yet so I got the Milan Premier with leather heated seats. I love the look of this car... stylish and semi-luxury look and feel. Still happy with car after several years and plan to keep the car for a long time yet.

I haven't had this vehicle very long, but even so far, it's the best pre- owned car I've ever had! It handles well, I get descent gas mileage, and it's like NEW! I've always had problems with previous cars, but I can already feel the difference... I would recommend this to anyone that asks about it (whether it be new or pre- owned). I have virtually no complaints. This is the best car I've owned, and I would buy another one IF I could ever drive this one into the ground.

Loved interior & exterior at purchase. Too bad it didn't last. The window control panel on the driver's side door pops out each time you close the door. I feel like the car is straining when I accelerate. Then when the car had about 25,000 miles on it, it began to hesitate when I tried to accelerate. It got to the point where the car would not respond when I pushed the gas pedal, it would hesitate and then eventually would go, but when it did it would shoot my RPMs up high. This was dangerous, especially in an intersection. The car was under warranty at the time, and they ended up replacing the coil packs (?). This corrected the problem. I'm not impressed with this car & would not recommend.

Very happy with my purchase

We have the Premium edition with lots of toys and the car is equal in quality to a Camry or Accord. The only disappointment is winter mileage goes in the tank and 23 is great in the winter but 31 is normal for summer highway. A well appointed car and a great value.

Over all it is a very fine car, pretty much happy with it after 6 months & nearly 8500 miles. My wife is primary driver does a lot of in town driving, so in town mpg's were important she hovers around 27-28 on average. Nice interior, not cluttered & and overly busy, good support on the seats, a main element for my wife. Stylish exterior, much better than the goggle headlight look of its sistership Fusion.

I bought a 2006 Milan in August 2008. The car looks good and is comfortable inside. Road noise on stock tires is too loud on most roads. The ride is harsh with sharp jolts on rough roads. I thought it would be smoother and quieter than it is. The automatic trans, when manually shifted to a lower gear, shifts into low at 40 mph, quite a jolt. Also the radio, for no reason will increase volume to an uncomfortable level sometimes when I hit the cruise control to decrease the speed.

Still happy 2.5 years in

I have loved my Milan from the start. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how nice and luxurious it is - it is hard for me to believe it is a moderately priced American car, it is so nice! I was in an accident where I was rear-ended on the highway - I barely felt the jolt, was perfectly fine - my Milan showed minimal damage - I can't say as much about the economy import that hit me - her car literally crumbled and had to be towed away! I loved the two years of free oil changes that I received! My only gripe is the brakes aren't that good, and the paint job is not up to snuff. I had to have the roof completely repainted due to rust. Many chips in the paint on the rest of the body too.

Bought the car new in April of 2006 and it now has right at 40,000 miles on it. It's a Premier with a V-6. The lights on the clock and right visor mirror stopped working and were fixed under warranty. Otherwise, the car has been flawless. The styling and design of the vehicle is very well suited for me and my family. The workmanship and quality are impressive. We get approximately 24 mpg in our everyday driving which is about half city and half highway. On the interstate with cruise control set at 65 we get 30.5 and with it set at 55 we get 31.5 mpg. I would buy another one.

Can't Really Complain much.

I really like the style of this car, the outside is really updated! I havn't found a difference between the 2006-2008 models except for the decal on the doors. The grille is an eye catcher, I have had many complements on the car, especially about the color (Gold) The MPG is acceptable so far it is and avg. of 25 I cant wait to get the window tint darker, that will just top it off! Im glad I bought it.

After nearly one year, I don't hesitate claiming that the Milan is the best car I've ever owned. My wife, who loves her minivan, prefers to take my Milan whenever she gets a chance because of how fun it is to drive. I've driven a lot of cars, and the Milan looks, feels, and most importantly drives like a lot more expensive car. Kudos to the engineers at Ford/Mazda for developing a winner here!

I was recently in an accident in my new Milan and I was impressed with the overall safety of the car. My two year old son and I walked away, but my Milan suffered more damage as they started to repair the front end of the car. I would recommend the Milan again and again for safety plus I love the two tone leather interior, sound system, and sporty look. And the best part is the value for the price. Very good.

Fun to drive, fantastic handling. Bought the 4 cylinder for fuel economy. It has adequate zip. I got 34 mpg on a long highway trip through PA. Quieter than my 2003 Sable, handles like a smaller car, very maneuverable and yet with a very comfortable ride and more than adequate interior space. I am 6 foot 4 and I love the telescoping steering wheel.

My 2002 Neon was paid off for 8 months and I was happy not having a car payment, but I bit on the 0% financing and am not looking back. I knew this would be a car I keep at least 5-7 years so I wanted to make sure I can pick every feature I possibly can, as well as make sure it will be a car I that will age well. I test drove a few cars and felt the Milan was the best choice, as well as best bang for the buck. The car is very stylish, and I enjoy the ride. I have the Premier package and love all the features (heated seats, auto dimming mirror). It's a great car all around. Ford has its act together when it comes to the Fusion/Milan. You owe it to yourself to at least test drive one.

Took advantage of year end pricing and financing and not disappointed. Nice family car. If you are looking to save some money by getting the base model of a brand, this model shouldn't disappoint. Took awhile to get used to 4 cylinder after driving 6 cylinder, but after 5 months the car is dependable and gets me from point A to B without any worries. It looks like a more expensive model and so far is very dependable.

After leaving an 04 BMW 325 I was a little concerned about performance, I was told by many that since it is made in part by Mazda, I was willing to take a chance, Now after 5 months of driving this car, I find it to be a great value for its selling price. It may not have the torque of the Beemer, but once driving on the highway, the handling, feel and overall comfort are that of a very high end car with the price tag of under $25,000. People are forever asking me what if is since it has the look of a high end Italian car. Every morning when I get in my Milan, I smile knowing that my payments are half what I had paid for my higher end cars yet it rides as well.

Went out on a limb and bought a Mercury...loved the looks and got zero per cent, but was nervous about the purchase, but getting more pleased each month. Went from LS400 to Accord EXV6 to F150 and now Milan. Fun to drive, quiet, comfortable and I'm a big guy, but I've still got head room. Also don't see many on the road, which I like, and its way cooler than a Fusion, but 3k less than Accord. Got one of the last 2006s and wish I'd gotten the audiophile system. Rides and feels like the Accord. Had it four months, 4200 miles and only one small rattle to get checked. Mileage is about 20mpg town, and 25 highway...expected a bit more. Trunk easily holds golf clubs. Great looking car!

Diamond in the rough!!! People that would never consider this car don't know what they are missing. The Mercury brand is revitalizing itself and aiming towards a younger crowd with crisp design and affordable luxury. The work-horse Duratech engine has had years of tweaking with the Taurus/Sable, so, of course the car has great performance and will be reliable in the long term. Sport package actually makes car look sporty and not cheesy like other sedans. Love the tail-lights and fold-down rear seat feature. I feel proud driving this fun little car. The perception that imports are always a better product is just that, a perception. Try American, guys.

Great buy. sporty and fun to drive!

Putting this car on the excellent Mazda platform and then designing it like a European car sold me. I looked at the Zephyr and the Fusion and this was easily the best designed. The interior is elegant and the two tone seats are very cool. The sheet metal competes with far more expensive vehicles. The six speed is smooth, and the V-6 has all the pep I need. And it has just the right amount of gizmos; you're not overwhelmed. Great car, especially for the price.

The size is just right for 4 comfortably, 5 if necessary. Features are as plentiful as my previous Lincoln with the ride quality being different than the Continental; tighter ride but less plush. Great acceleration when needed, decent mileage around town. Carries an 8' ladder in the trunk by lowering the back seat. A very convenient feature. Although looks are very subjective, it receives many compliments.

Awesome Buy

The first gear is a little short. Lots of power and lots of extras. Very nice styling and lots of leg room.

A Lot of Car for the Money

Fully loaded, the car has all of the bells and whistles you'll ever need and then some. Very responsive engine and tight, quiet ride make it fun to drive. I've been amazed at the gas mileage since I've just logged 1,000 miles on the engine.

Most bang for the buck

I went to the Detroit Auto Show to pick up a discount coupon for Mercury Montego but fell for the Milan instead, and bought one identical to the one on display at the auto show. In terms of value for dollars spent this is the best car I've ever owned. For the last 10 years I've felt that Ford (and GM) have tried to sell the least car for the most money. With the Milan I feel Ford has turned a corner. The Milan is loaded with standard features and useful optional features, very solidly built, classy inside and out. The six-speed transmission is smooth and acceleration is powerful when I need it to be. More than that the car is well thought out in virtually every way.

I never thought I would buy a Mercury

I was looking for a Fusion when the 0% for 72 months was running and stumbled upon a Milan. I think its better looking and so far it's been a very pleasurable experience. All city driving so far and each tank full has been better mileage, the last one went 374 miles on 16.1 gallons. It will be interesting to get a tank thru it on the highway to see how close I can get to the 29 mpg. Quiet, very roomy and comfortable even for a 6'6" driver. The controls on the steering wheel make the radio, cruise and a/c controls a breeze, altho the temp control is on the lower right and I rest my thumb in that area when I drive--sometimes the temp gets bumped up to 80 degrees!

The outside raised saddle on the front seat creates excessive exterior left thigh pressure when sitting for 8-12 hours traveling accross country. I weigh 200# and I think the seat is to constraining. My '04 Sable leather seat was more comfortable and should have been a design benchmark. The cruise control, radio control and heater control on steering wheel are too small requiring to observe when setting. The size of the '04 Sable steering wheel controls were excelant. The lock/unlock controls on the key fob should be larger. In the dark, confusing which is which. The '04 Sable should have been bench marked. The remote trunk lid should pop the trunk open and not just a release.

Milan is Magnificent

We bought the V6 Premier. The ride is excellent, the only problem with the duratech engine is the torque during a hard acceleration, other than that the shifting of the 6 speed transmission is smooth with more than adequate power. I have averaged about 25 mpg combined highway and city driving since I have owned the car.

2006 Milan Premier - Great Car

The car is a great looking car and handles very well on the road. The V6 has enough power to pass just about everything on the highway. Love the entire - unique but classy. No issues or problems after 19,000 miles. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Milan - Urban Nightmare!

Bought the Milan which supposedly replaces the Sable, three of which I drove for 10 years. Absolutely no comparison. The Milan ride, while smooth on highways, is awful on city streets. You feel every bump and the car shakes on potholes, as if there are no shock absorbers. Urban gas mileage is about 13 mpg, much lower than the Sable. During summer which a/c on and idling, mpg was 10. Then there's the wide wheel base which means wide turning circle, a detriment for parking in tight spots or making U turns on city streets. You're paying more for less quality which seems minimally cheap compared to the Sable LS.

Great car, not your cookie cutter mobile

Not too many miles just yet but so far so good. Very unique car. I haven't seen another pass me by yet. I have seen the Fusion around though. 2 people I work with prefer it to their new vehicles ( one a chrysler 300 and one a Camry ) Nice leather interior, good dash layout.

My Milan after 9 months

I've had my Milan for 9 months now. I still am in love with it. My husband begs to drive it. I think he loves it more than I do! This is a large car (to me at least) but it still handles well and brakes wonderfully. Two problems I've had are the lumbar support blew out and had to be replaced, and both visors pop out of joint when you fold them down. Other things I've noticed are a very wide turn, loses a bit of road control if you accellerate out of a turn too quickly.

Love the Features

I owned an Altima; and LOVED it - 2002. Got great trade in value in MA where we lived before. Loved the style and the inside features-like a Lincoln. Do not know 3.0 mileage,but it is really smooth and drives, handles like a charm. To compare to 2007 cars out it is better look and drive. Pricing higher on Premier, but do feel the sun-roof,CD, and other opions are a must for me. Love the paint color-changes in the sun/shade. All leather-all comfort.

No acceleration, but cruises at seventy very smoothly and quietly. Handles very nicely. The exterior door mirrors are very large and get bumped a lot.
