Gives the Japanese a run for their money - 2006 Mercury Milan
By Paddy - March 6 - 1:03 pmOur 9 year old Honda Accord got dinged recently in a hit and run, and we finally replaced it with a Mercury Milan Premier V6. Indians like me have prefered Japanese cars with reliability, and we still have a Nissan Sentra. This is a beautiful car. Never mind what the critics say. It seemed to turn wide, but not after we got used to it. The Accord was like that initially too. The drive quality, its smoothness, the pickup with the V6 engine, the trunk space, everything is a smash. We have a small baby, and we decided to get the side impact air bags as part of the safety package. It was worth it, given the positive crash test ratings. Our baby sleeps great in the car.

Mercury got it right - 2006 Mercury Milan
By Kevin - February 6 - 7:10 pmPutting 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; youre not overwhelmed. Great car, especially for the price.

A Real Head Turner - 2006 Mercury Milan
By Pat - December 16 - 12:56 amWe LOVE THIS CAR!!! It has a look that is truly unique...a cross between a Mercedes and an Italian sports car. The interior is second to none in comfort & has a unique luxurious look. The 17" extra wide Michelins on 14 spoke wheels look really classy with a very smooth very quite ride. This car drives it self. It handles well in the city and on the highway. It looks like it is moving even when it is parked. The AUDIOPHILE SOUND SYSTEM has superb sound. This car is a real head turner. Before you buy a new car, you must test drive the Milan. I will say that we first drove the I4 and did not like the sound of the 4 cylinder. The V6 is very quiet and worth the extra cost.

Better than expected - 2006 Mercury Milan
By Larry Klassen - August 26 - 3:20 amIve driven my Milan Premier V-6 over 3500 miles and I like it more everytime I drive it. Its quiet, very comfortable, fast, has excellent brakes and the handling is superior. Last round trip from San Diego to Phoenix I averaged 25.8 mpg driving 75 mph. (its legal in I-8 east of Yuma) That average includes driving around Phoenix for four days too. So far my Milan has met or exceeded every expectation. The great looks are a bonus. Ive received more enthusiastic comments about this car than on anything Ive ever owned.

Excellent Car for not a lot of Money - 2006 Mercury Milan
By AUBURN MATT - August 25 - 12:00 amIve been waiting on the Ford Fusion to come out. This Mercury however was the first one in Houston that was optioned (not loaded up) the way I wanted. Im glad I bought the Mercury as the car is great inside and out. Plenty of room for me (Im 63") to drive and the kids still have leg room in the back. With incentives I paid less than $17.5K. Cant rate reliability until something occurs but the car runs great right now. If I had the patience I might have waited on Ford/Mercury to deliver a manual Transmission with Leather Interior. As it is I am plenty happy with the car and hope that maybe this means there will be a resurgence at Ford to deliver great trucks and cars.

Had problems - 2006 Mercury Milan
By Greg - July 5 - 1:20 pmJust 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.

Best Car Ive Ever Owned! - 2006 Mercury Milan
By RevRev - May 25 - 5:46 amAfter nearly one year, I dont hesitate claiming that the Milan is the best car Ive 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. Ive 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!

Milan - Urban Nightmare! - 2006 Mercury Milan
By Steve - May 16 - 4:36 pmBought 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 theres the wide wheel base which means wide turning circle, a detriment for parking in tight spots or making U turns on city streets. Youre paying more for less quality which seems minimally cheap compared to the Sable LS.
