  1 Year of Ownership Update - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By cristo - January 5 - 1:06 pm

  It has been a year now since I purchased my 09 Milan. I have logged only 4,500 miles to date, and (so far) no major issues. I will say that the transmission labors a bit to shift out of first gear when it is cold outside. But is fine once warmed up.It does get on my nerves a bit. My absolute MAJOR complaint is with the headrests in this car! Almost unbearable! I notice all of the Ford products have adapted to this design.I will not purchase another Ford product next year if they are not changed. Other than the two issues I have stated,the car is very good! Mileage is in the mid 20s per gallon. I rarely use it on long trips due to the uncomfortable headrests! It gives me a pain in the neck!

  Lexus convert - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By dsvetcov - November 1 - 12:13 pm

  I traded my Lexus es350 for a new milan. The main reason was price. I opted for the Merc as it addresses a more seasoned buyer (ug..age) over the ford Fusion. Too bad LM does not heavily market this vehicle. It is superior in many ways to the foreign competitors as well as GM. Get the premier edition and the with Microsoft sync. It makes driving fun, as well as a very comfortable and price savvy experience.

  have your airbags checked - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By srecz - October 9 - 12:30 am

  My wife was just broad-sided by an suv traveling at 30-40 mph. The Milans side airbags did not deploy. Fortunately,she did not suffer serious injury, but certainly could have in such a serious crash. I would suggest to anyone owning a Milan return to the dealership to have airbag system checked.

  First American and Automatic a BUY! - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By Prof Baldie - June 14 - 5:56 am

  This is our first American car and first automatic. We considered VW CC, Mazda 6S, Acura TL and Infinity 35. But felt guilty with the recession and auto industry meltdown so decided to give domestic a try. We settled on a Hybrid Fusion and made a deposit but lead time was just too long (our second car had been stolen months earlier) and could wait no longer. Saw the Milan, liked it, did some research and ended up with a Milan Voga with AWD. Wife still misses her fun-to-drive VW Jetta Turbo and Subaru Outback but loves features of Milan AWD Voga. Her biggest complaint is the turning circle, which I hope is improved in the 2010 model.

  drifting - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By Earl - April 26 - 6:16 am

  It feel good but then there was drifting to the right and you had to keep pressure on the steering wheel all the time to stay on the road. they have worked on it and also lied to me what had been done and basically have told me live with it. Some of the work that was done was not told to me and when I question them different stories. the real problem is that they showed me letter that some of Ford and Mecury front wheel drives will drift to the right and states no correction needed. ( my point is that they didnt tell me about any drifting before I purchased this vehicle or I would have got a Chevy. Ford is not up front with there customers.

  Great basic sedan - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By Cristo - March 14 - 4:26 pm

  Well, I turned in the lease of my 06 Lincoln Zephyr and purchased an 09 Milan Base model with auto transmission. A very good basic sedan and the 4 cyl gets great mileage. After driving a fully loaded Lincoln for 3 years its hard to go to a base model, however, I dont do the driving I used to. The car is fine for what I need, however, the headrests are very uncomfortable! Why they changed them Ill never know! I had no problem with the ones on my Lincoln. Hopefully, I can switch them out! Ive had the car for 2 weeks and I still havent put gas in it! Great basic no frills transportation.

  Way to go Ford! - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By Travis - January 13 - 10:26 am

  I was in the market for a used Camry or a new Hyundai when I got tired of the snobby Toyota dealer and the fake, high-pressure Hyundai dealer. I stopped by the Ford dealer and they were awesome; they listened to my needs (a reliable commuter car with good gas mileage and room for 2 teens in the back) and got me into my Milan. It now has 32k miles on it and has been absolutely reliable and still feels like a new car. No rattles or squeaks and not unplanned trips to the dealer. Gas mileage is amazing for this class of car; I get 40 mpg on my way to Phoenix in the morning. The styling is attractive and fresh without being too flashy and it feels like a much more expensive car.

  Love the looks - 2009 Mercury Milan
  By EP1 - January 15 - 1:43 pm

  The style & looks caught my attention right away my previous car was the Buick Lacross. The Milan handles better and rides tighter than the Buick and corners like its on rails but is just as quite on the inside on the highway! The looks are so much nicer than the Accord and Camry!
