Overview & Reviews

For 2008, a keyless entry keypad is standard on the Mercury Milan, and there are a number of new options. Among these are a reverse parking sensor, the Mercury "Sync" multimedia system (which integrates devices such as cell phones and MP3 players into the vehicle's controls) and upgraded interior ambient lighting. The Sync system and the ambient lighting, however, will be introduced later in the model year.

• Roomy interior, athletic handling, smooth ride, available all-wheel drive, competitive price.

• Engines are down on power and refinement, stability control is not available, some mediocre interior plastics.

  2008 Mewrcury Milan V-6 - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Allen Joyner - October 15 - 3:13 pm

  Great car. We like it better than my wifes 2007 Toyota Camry. Handles well, spirited acceleration yet decent gas mileage considering. The new 6 speed automatic transmission a real plus.

  Drove BMWs for 17 years. - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By JDL - January 3 - 12:40 am

  The Milan is a well designed car with many features that are exclusive to Ford/Mercury. The car handles well as a BMW528 and for $28000.00 less! Mine is loaded with Nav, bluetooth, Sync, sat radio, AWD, and believe it or not, the car turns heads. Its got power and the car stops on a dime. Handling is aggressive. I did find that the head-room with the sun-roof was tight, but it was fine once I adjusted the seat, and tilted the steering wheel to suit my position. A very minor issue that I have had to deal with before on my BMWs and Mercedes. The car is awesome in the snow. Mercury set out to beat the Japanese manufactures, and they beat or matched the Europeans in the process. A great car!

  Sweet Ride - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By tdvandy2 - November 26 - 2:30 am

  This car is proof that at least one of the domestics finally "gets it". Easy to drive at any speed. Quiet, smooth, and a nicely done interior.

  Mercury makes buying American Fun! - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Nick - November 10 - 10:03 pm

  This car stands out from the others in its class. I have the Premier V-6 with AWD. The 17" wheels and classy interior give this car a high-class appearance and feel at a fraction of the cost. People who see my car instantly change their mind about the Mercury product line. The feel is excellent and the car seems to hug the road with ease. I highly recommend the Milan to anyone that wants domestic and appreciates a little Detroit flair and ingenuity! I never thought I would own a Mercury at my age but I do and now I love the whole Mercury lineup.

  First Mercury and couldnt be happier! - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Scott - October 15 - 12:46 pm

  I purchased an AWD Premier loaded with navigation. It absorbs the bumps very well, its quiet, has a great stereo, and it handled extremely well in a rainstorm with high winds on my last trip. The 6-speed auto shifts very smoothly. Its a very solid-built car. I especially like the reverse remote sensors when you back up. Ive had 2 Honda Accords in the past 6 years, and this Mercury beats them by far. I would buy another Mercury in a heartbeat.

  Love this car! - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Pam - September 7 - 2:16 pm

  Ive had my Milan for a week now, and love it. On my first tank of gas I am getting 23.9 MPG city. Have not had a chance for Hwy yet. I test drove several vehicles, 08 Fusion, 09 Sonata, 09 Corolla, 08 Malibu, 08 Optima, some were better buys I will admit, however, I love the way this car drives and is very comfortable for me. I really wanted a sunroof and heated seats, however, there were none available at this time in the area so I gave them up because I really wanted this car for the comfort. I purchased the White Suede Metalllic with Camel Leather Interior. I would definitely recommned this car.

  Meets all my requirements and then some - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Rick - August 4 - 9:20 pm

  Great looking, right size, comforable with enough power to get up and go when needed. Gets many complements. Its fun to drive. Had cars from T-birds to Mustangs plus many others. The last was a Honda Accord. Hated it, ride hard and uncomfortabe large heavy doors making access and exit difficult. My Milan beats it by a more than a mile.

  Great car - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Jim - May 17 - 5:06 am

  I went to the dealer to buy a MKZ, but after testing it against the Milan Premier I4, I felt the Milan was well worth the savings of almost $10,000 over the MKZ. I drive a lot each year and was looking for both comfort and gas economy. I am extremely happy with my choice. I have found the I4 to have plenty of pickup for merging on the interstate or turnpike, and the 5 speed gives good pickup at different speeds.

  Very impressive car - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Paul - May 6 - 4:46 am

  The car blends handling and comfort remarkably well. The Milan sticks to the road thru hard turns yet still soaks up bad pavement pretty darn well. Power and acceleration are plenty enough for those of us who dont buy a car to race it. Mid and high end power is very good for passing and surging on the highways. Attractive inside and out, this car has all the creature comforts I wanted for about $4000 less than I would of payed for a simiarly equipped Accord or Camry. Factor in the high marks for reliability that Milan/Fusion get and you cant go wrong here.
