  • Bought a used Milan - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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.

    I am leasing a 4 cylinder automatic. I thought performance might be doggy with the "four" but I am blown away by the great acceleration and crisp handling. The ride quality is comfortable and quiet. The standard music system is excellent. The trip computer is very usefull. Plus theres lots of compartments and "cubby-holes". Theres plenty of room for a 6-4" dude like me. The lease deal I got was an incredible value. I highly recommend the Milan!

  • Beautiful Car! - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Just purchased a Milan Premier 4 cyl, 5spd manual. It was a special order. I love the way the car handles and the sound of the engine as I shift. Mine is Medium Charcoal, which is a beautiful color with the two tone, Medium Charcoal and Stone leather interior. I was concerned about the smaller engine, but with the manual transmission, seems to have plenty of power. So far gas mileage is average 21, but not broken in yet. I have had lots of compliments on this vehicle. Come on Ford/Mercury you just need to market this to sell. Once someone sees the car up close and drives it, it would be hard not to be in love with this car.

    Im quite happy with the new Milan...looks very European and has a sports type ride and handling. Gas mileage thus far is a bit disappointing for local driving, but highway mileage is excellent. I bought the upgraded radio but very disappointed in reception...likely due to internal antenna...would have preferred an external antenna and better reception. Build quality seems excellent. Excellent vehicle for a reasonable price when compared with many of the imports. Dealership experience was excellent. I considered Acura, Saab, Honda Accord and Mazda 6 but found that the Milan offered most of the same features for less money. Dealer let us have for an extended test drive...that sold us!

    my milan is fun and quick. i like to drive it everybody tells me how nice and sporty it is. i always liked the mercury grandmarquis but the price of gas turned me away and when mercury came out with the milan i had to have it and it was very affordable. i had the car about three month and i am very happy with it.

    Have had for a little over 2 months and 6 thousand miles. Very happy. Tight body, tight ride. Milan is dressier that the fusion. Mine has the platinum trim interior which is nicer that the fake wood interior shown. Have gotten over 30 miles to galllon on highway.

  • Happy I did not buy the Camry! - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    It was between the Milan and the Toyota Camry for me and all I can say is I am so happy I bought the Milan! I was driving a 6 cyl 95 Mustang for 11 years and swore I would never buy another 4 cyl - but I am amazed by the power this car has! The Premier has so many bells and whistles that I dont think Ive found them all in my 6 short days of ownership! I have not yet gone through my first full tank of gas, it seems the gauge barely moves! Not used to this kind of mileage! When every other car on the road is a Camry, driving my Milan is like my little secret! This is a great car!

  • Well worth it! - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Have owned this car for a week,so far fantastic is all I can say,As much as I hate to admit it being a GM guy. This is my wifes new car, we finally ditched a 2002 Altima (nothing but problems) Ford did a great job with this car.For my wife its all about asthetics and this car has it for reasonable money. Many mistake it for a higher end vehicle.The interior is comfortable, well thought out controls, and easy to use. Build quality seems excellent. Nice quiet ride with little road and engine noise. Power is more than adequate for my wife,has some giddy up when you have to pass. The exterior is exceptional,elegant,rich looking without the price. Definitely the adult version of the Fusion. Bravo Ford.

  • Very happy with my purchase - 2006 Mercury Milan

    The only thing that bothers me is the engine noise but its a 4 cyl 5 speed. Its a fun car to drive and the features that come with the car is perfect for what I and any one else needs that drives a lot.

  • The Mercury that could save Ford! - 2006 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Really the Fusion and the Milan could be the cars that put Ford back on the path to profitability. The Milan V6 is a pure joy to drive. Very responsive steering with a good "on center" feel. Nicely appointed. Smooth shifting 6 speed auto, very reasonable fuel economy (22 mpg around town with AC on). I prefer the 16" wheels as they give the car a better ride than the lower profile 17" wheels. Would I buy this car again, no hesitation, Yes!
