I bought this car used with 26k miles on it at a Lincoln/Mercury dealer, I purchased the extended warranty which covered the car bumper to bumper for an additional 75k miles and 5 yrs. Thank God for the warranty because the trans had to be replaced at 46k the master cylinder at 28k the radio at 30k the exhaust hanger at 34k and the paint on the car was bubbling up in about 3 different areas!!! The CVT trans is crap do not purchase any Ford product with a CVT tranmission!!! Terrible mpg as well!!!!

Great Car

I had back trouble and was looking for a good mileage car that I could get into. I'm6,1 and 260 lbs so I needed a lot of room. At first I didn't like it as I thought I was leg cramped! I then realized I could move my brake anf gas pedal up and down. That took care of my leg problem. I average between 23-25 miles in the city and about 27-29.6 on the highway!

Transmission out in just 2 years!

The transmission went out on my 2007 Montego! The car is serviced every 3000 miles and babied! I was totally shocked by this unexpected issue!

Bought it with 14,000 already on the car. Chose it over Buick Le Sabre/Lucerne and similar Oldsmobile. It has higher seats was easier to get in and out of. Gas mileage seems poor, I never push it hard and never exceed speed limits, but on a trip of 60mph all day I get at best 24mpg. Most driving is in town, so mileage is usually 19mpg. Ride is excellent, visibility is good, I'm very happy I bought it.

Happy

This car was my first choice in 2005, and when I was finally was able to upgrade in 2006, I choose the Montego. Although I am leasing this one, I am not sure if I would purchase the "Sable". I don't care for the renaming of the car. Don't know why it had to be changed. "Montego" has a swinging sound and sounds classy and elegant. I find that the features that came standard are great. The price was also great at under 30,000.

Comfort without much power....

Just Bought used with 30k on it. Love the leather and look. However the engine is bit gutless...I am going to add KN filter to see if that helps. Otherwise can was a steal and look and drive great.

I just recently bought a slightly used 2007 Montego with 17K miles. It was a returned lease back that was in near perfect condition. I wanted a good quality larger American car that got good gas mileage. I'm not your average Mercury buyer as I'm 30 years old. So far I am really happy with the purchase. This car got such negative press since it first launched and I can't understand why? The engine is plenty adequate for every day driving. At 80mph I'm only hitting 2,100 RPM's. This engine is really reliable as I had it in my Taurus and put 155,000+ miles on it with no major engine problems. Averaging 26MPG overall and usually 29MPG highway.

Love My Montego

Bought this car with only 18,000 miles! I just love having factory warranty. I get 29 city and 33 highway, and on one trip that was 4 hours, I got 36 MPG. I even checked it at the pump against what the computer said, and they were both dead on! I live in the great white north, so on the cold mornings, the heated seats are a plus, and I have lots of heat. My last vehicle was a 99 Taurus, and I had to get the heater core flushed every year in order to have heat. My daughter has the same problem with her Taurus of the same year. The moonroof is awsome. I use the vent feature the most and it is open even on the cold mornings on my drive to work. This is an amazing car!

So many problems

I love the car. Bought it as a family car. The warranty expired, the car began having electrical problems with its climate controls and the heating seat. Heating seat will no longer work. Climate control will keep switching from leg, to window, to etc, all by itself. I still love the car. Driving stability on the road is awesome, the car corners very well without wobbling like others. It's also very quiet on the road. I can fit the stroller and groceries into the trunk with more than enough space left over.

Expressway riding? try this!

Bought car gently used, was like new. No surprise the 6 cyl. isn't great around town, but not real bad. The great surprise is I have gotten up to almost 33 mpg on expressway trips, and believe avg might be better with longer trips! So give it a try! See if the gas needle stays put, on a fast half hour ride!

Love my Montego

Have had my Montego for almost 7 months & bought as certified pre-owned from dealer. This is a terrific car. I have AWD & am getting an avg of 22 MPG 60/40 highway & city. The CVT transmission and engine combination make for a good value with respect to gas consumption. The V-6 is a bit underpowered however. If it were 250-260 horses vs the 205 with the CVT tranny it would be perfect. (Nissan did this with the Murano- why can't you Ford?) It's adequate but you don't get the "jolt" when punching the gas.

Outstanding and Underrated

A good-looking, enjoyable car to drive. Receives many compliments from passengers. Handles very well. All the right gadgets. Plenty of back seat room for tall adults. Very roomy trunk. Great all-around visibility for driver. Avg fuel: 20/28 Highway. Excellent sound system and dash controls. Engine very adequate for all but racers. Great Pirelli tires. I would easily buy another of these wonderful cars. Since 2008 re-badged as Sable and even better with larger engine.

Comfortable Car

No regrets purchasing this vehicle after 3 months of ownership. Handles very well and has a solid, safe feel to it. Not too impressed with the "audiophile" system - seems to lack midrange. Would prefer a 12V outlet in the backseat instead of inside console. Overall a great value for a better than average vehicle.

A "Can-do" car

The base price is good, but you have too many extras which need to be include in the base price. Responsiveness of the steering is outstanding,which may cause the wider turning circle. The vehicle needs more power--a V8 or a direct fuel injection system. I like the improved responsiveness.

Great All Around Car

I have been driving my Montego about six months ago and continue to enjoy it every time I drive it. The CVT transmission took about a week to get used to and now when I drive my wife's 5 speed automatic Honda I find my self missing the CVT. I have been getting between 23-27 mpg depending on the amount of highway/city driving that I am doing. Seats are very comfortable and the cabin is very quiet again better than my wife's Honda. It is a little slow off the start and could use more power but that is the only real complaint. Handles well, love the HID headlights, plenty of room in cabin and in the trunk (can fit my skis in with out folding down the seat). Great performer for the money.

Love It

I love my new car. It drives wonderfully. Nice and roomy inside, but doesn't appear too big from the outside.

Our new Montego, like the previous 6 Mercs we have owned does not disappoint. The car is comfortable, good looking and comes with all the bells and whistles. The AWD feature is very welcome in a family sedan. The ride is soft, but that is precisely what makes it so smooth and comfortable. Acceleration is adequate, although far from being a speed demon.

The first thing I noticed was the power.Getting on the freeway It is slow.Also the audio system sounds a little cheap.Be fore this car I drove a 04 Sable that was much quicker and the audio system was better. Other than that it is a nice car and my friends think it is too.So far I have had two small problems with the car. During a trip of 200 miles I was getting 28+ MPG.At 70 MPH

Just purchased

Just purchased a 2007 sedan and drove on a trip for 5,000 miles. Impressed with the interior comfort and ability to adjust the pedals as both my husband and I are rather tall. City driving is fine but accelerating uphill or to pass another car takes planning with the engine size. Back seat is very roomy but I wish they would have made the front seat go back farther for taller drivers and have the ability to adjust the steering wheel higher up to accommodate knees and high heels when entering the car. The rear auto-adjust mirror feature at night is great with the bright lights of vehicles coming up behind you. Overall good value with the quality and end of year price for us!

Best car so far

My last 3 cars were made by Toyota and all have been very reliable. Now as we are getting older, I wanted my creature comforts and better, fuller seats. Can't say enough about the car because it is awesome. Even better than an older Caddy that we once owned. On our first trip, I tried to keep the RPM just under 2000, speed 65MPH which achieved 29.6 mpg..

I picked the Montego after exhaustive research and trying a number of different new vehicles. We needed a second car after buying the 2007 Acura TL. The Montego, a fully equipped AWD/CVT model with all the bells and whistles, has been superb, and from the standpoint of inital quality upon ownership, completely trouble free, more trouble free than the well regarded Acura TL, which was in the shop more than half the time the first 6 weeks to replace the a/c compressor which failed because someone had neglected to install some required seals during its build. The seating position is outstanding, view in every direction excellent, ride sure footed and stable, and fit and finish first rate.

Expectations exceeded

Purchased the car mainly for the Mrs. where safety and comfort were a top priority. It has more than exceeded my expectations. I had a Milan as a loner car for about a week and when I picked up the Montego and drove it home the difference noted in just about every aspect of driving was amazingly better. A day/night difference and an eye opener to the quality built into the Montego. Took the Mrs. about a week to get used the CVT which she now raves about.

Mercury Montego is a awesome sedan it has plenty of front and rear leg room for anyone plenty of headroom as well the vehicle hugs the road extremely well the ride and braking are fantastic as well as the trunk space and the engine runs quiet and preforms well for vehicles size but needs more punch. I love Mercury's traditional Satin Waterfall Grille looks great and Montego has plenty of great features for you to like Dual Climate Control Heated/Cooled Seats HID Headlights and LED Taillights make for being seen better and the exterior and interiors fit and finish is great all sealed tight no gaps which makes the ride really quiet I think Mercury's got them a Luxury Sedan thats priced just right

This is the best all round automobile that I have owned in a long time. It is fun to drive and very confortable. I love the trunk. I have been pleased with the fuel economy for such a large car. I think that Mercury has a real winner with this one.

Our driving and ownwership experience thus far has exceeded our expectations. At this point we have 17,000 miles on this car, we had no problems and averaged up to 32.2 mpg highway and 20.0 mpg in relatively short distance city driving. Quality fit and finish is very good.
