  • Best AWD sedan on the market - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Surprise! The Milans handling is completely competitive with foreign cars! And the AWD coped easily with our icy winter. Our last 3 cars were Outbacks, but the current version didnt have enough leg room, so we switched to the Milan, which has exactly the room we need. Love the comfort, handling, luxury features for the price. Gas mileage averaging 23-24 overall is disappointing, but the V6 power is fun. The drivers headrest hurt my back by forcing my head to tip forward. I had a local welder change the angle. My wifes headrest didnt bother her, because its not in the way when the seat is reclined the way she normally has it.

  • From a huge car to a midsize - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I traded my 05 Lincoln Town Car for an 09 Milan V6 Premier AWD with the VOGA package. I wasnt sure Id like a mid- size car after such a huge car, but now I know what the reviewers mean when they talk about handling. This car handles beautifully. Ive really tested the AWD this month here in Michigan, as weve gotten a lot of snow and ice, and I havent gotten stuck yet. My Milan rides very nicely and I love the VOGA interior: camel with black trim with camel stitching.

  • 2009 Milan is a great value - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I traded in a 2003 Honda Accord EX for my 2009 Milan VOGA. The Milan styling is unique and the VOGA in white suede turns many heads. Many have said they didnt know Mercury made such a nice looking, sporty sedan. Ive had many compliments on the looks and the car is just as fun to drive. I was also looking at a Chevy Malibu, but with the incentives and discounts I got more options for less money with the Milan. I have the 4-cly. and I range between 30.4 and 33.6 mpg. and I dont even have 4000 miles on it yet. Im anxious to see what kind of mileage I get on a trip this weekend. I suspect Ford is going to give the imports some serious competition with this model.

  • 1 Year of Ownership Update - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    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!

  • Nice Ride! - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Ive had my Mercury Milan for about a year and a half now. I really enjoy how the car handles and the performance. Havent had anything replaced that was major. Only a few electronic things got replace, a roof molding and the driver leather seat started to crack. All and all the car is a great buy. I still get people who say that it is a nice looking car. especially with the metallic flakes in the paint!

  • American Car as good as the imports :) - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I have owned over 10 vehicles (Taurus, Camry, Scion, Sonata, etc.) and this one is the best. Was planning on purchasing a Camry but the 2009 Milan was too good of a car and too good a value to pass up. Lots of features for the money, great fuel mileage (31 mpg so far), build quality is excellent, it looks classy and its been dead reliable. I drive 50,000 miles a year and am pleased with the comfort level and fun-to-drive of this car. Ford is making good American cars and my Milan is proof :)

  • Love it! - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I have had my 09 Milan for 3 months. We have taken one long trip in it. The rest of the time has been spent driving within 50 miles of home. Right now I am getting 30.4 mpg with a cruising range of over 500 miles. With employee pricing and rebates, I was able to buy this awesome vehicle for less than $20,000. We live in the country so Sirrus radio is wonderful since we cant always pick up a good radio station.

  • Good choice for us - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    After 4000 miles, we are happy with the car. It has all wheel drive, which we need in our area, room for real people in the back seat, which we need, good comfort overall, a smooth ride, plenty of power, and all for a reasonable price.

  • Bye, Bye 300!!! Hello Milan!!! - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Well, I traded in my 08 Chrysler 300 and wanted something "different". My friends always refer to my car as the old, businessman car; as Im in my 20s and they only see old, businessmen driving it. Lol. I love it and that is all that matters. Driving is still pretty smooth after a year and dont really have any complaints.

  • Luxury you can afford! - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Ride is wonderful, yet still tight & sporty. Power is great with really good mileage for a V6. Interior is classy, yet sporty with Burlwood Dash. Love SYNC, Navigation, Bluetooth Phone & Stereo all working together. Plenty of room for everyone. Best car Ive owned to date. FORD Motor Company has been and always will be my CHOICE for a new car. Made mostly in America, but American owned company is the only way to buy!!!!
