  • My New Milan - 2006 Mercury Milan

    I love my Milan! My husband recently turned in his leased truck, and decided to surprise me with the Milan. When it comes to running errands, its always a toss up as to who drives, we both want to drive .... so we try to compromise.

  • Not Exactly Pleased - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Loved interior & exterior at purchase. Too bad it didnt last. The window control panel on the drivers 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. Im not impressed with this car & would not recommend.

  • Me and My Wife Love It - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Me and my wife recently purchased a 2006 Mercury Milan Premier V6 after looking at the Lincoln Zephyr and Ford Fusion and to us the Milan was the Best For the money it has the best looking exterior out of the three and i like the the all black leather interior with the nice looking wood grain accents and the 221 HP V6 is speedy and gets great gas mileage and the interior is also quite roomy although headroom could be better and the trunk is a good size and i like the bright LED taillights and the Sleek Front Design and to me this is the best car in the midsize car segment and by far the best for the money so i highly reccommend the Mercury Milan because its great

  • Milan is a very competitive car - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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). Its 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.

  • Owner of Milan, 5,000 mile review - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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 - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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.

  • Pleasantly Surprised - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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 Im a big guy, but Ive still got head room. Also dont 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 Id 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!

  • Very sporty & rich feeling - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I have been leasing the Cougar since 2000. This was my first 4 door car. I thought I would feel old and bored driving it. I have to say though I was so surprised how sporty & sleek it feels! I went with red to mix it up a bit and I love it! I get looks everywhere I go! The drive is smooth and the inside & out is sharp as can be! Im hoping Mercury comes out with a convertible of the Milan! Good job Mercury!!!

  • 06 Milan - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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 mpgs 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.

  • Ford Brings Europe to U.S. Autos - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    The Milan is what Ford has been waiting for. It blends the best of European design, Japanese ingenuity with American quality and attention to detail. Finally an American auto manufacturer shows the benefit of what multi-national auto brand ownership brings. The ride is tight, yet smooth. The interior sounds is silent. The 6-speed auto transmission takes a little getting used to, but one you do its great and the extra mileage you gain is very much welcome these days. The car also looks sharp. It reminds me of the old Alfa 164 - edgy for its time. The Milan finally gives some style to an American sedan. GM should take note ...
