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.

Better value than Imports - 2008 Mercury Milan
By jdf2007 - February 26 - 10:13 pmDriven this Milan for 3 weeks and it is a car that you just cant get enough of! 4cyl. w/ 5 speed auto has very good power even with 4 adults. Avg. 28.6 mpg with under 1000 miles on car. The fit/finish is great and with 17" wheels this car is very attractive. Drove Honda, Nissan and Kia and this Mercury handles better than all. For the value this one hard to beat!

What a dream - 2008 Mercury Milan
By bobbyveee99 - December 3 - 4:16 pmPurchased this car 2 weeks ago, what a dream. Had an Audi A6 before. Car cost 38000 this one cost 26000 and this Milan is just as nice riding as my Audi was. Power front seats are only on drivers side not passenger and there is no garage door transmitter, otherwise it has everything

Near Luxury at Corolla Prices - 2008 Mercury Milan
By benkaf - November 19 - 8:15 amI bought a 2008 Mercury Milan Premier 4 cylinder with Automatic with 23K last year. I put 27K on it in one year, the most Ive ever driven. Ive previously owned Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Saab, Volvo and never thought Id buy a Ford product. But I can honestly say that I am pleasantly surprised. I have had no problems other than a squeaky a/c fan (which went away). The car is well designed inside and out and pleasant to drive, if not refined. Its also economical. I have been able to get about 27/33 MPG out of my Milan.

Solid Choice - 2008 Mercury Milan
By Larry - June 4 - 2:00 pmQuiet and smooth ride. Excellent on highway MPG at 60 MPH --> 36 to 38 MPG on the onboard gauge on average hilly terrain for Atlanta. A bit noisy at high RPM, but quiet overall. Sync works very well with LG VX9400 phone. Wont miss the park assist, but disappointed at no built-in garage door opener (oh well). Around the neighborhood - averaging about 24-26 MPG as long as dont jump on the gas pedal. Stay moderate and keep RPMs below 2.5-3K and youll do well on gas. Handles very well. The interior design is great and the charcoal cloth seats are very comfortable. Wife has a bad back to comfort was king in our choice of vehicle.

Apples or Oranges? You decide... - 2008 Mercury Milan
By Bob - March 2 - 3:53 amI traded in my 2005 Nissan Altima SER for a brand new 2008 Mercury Milan. My Altima SER was purchased used with 8,600 miles on the odometer. The only drawback it had a six speed manual transmission. It had 18" mag wheels, low profile racing tires, a Bose stereo system, great racing seats, and a powerful 270 hp engine. When I blew the clutch it cost me $1500.00 to get it fixed. Well Nissan blew the repair, I couldnt find reverse at times, neither could I find first. I got so discouraged after several attempts to get it right with Nissan, I went car shopping. I found the Mercury Milan Premier. Its a great car, but its not an Altima SER. Thus my title Apples or Oranges...

Too Much Hype - 2008 Mercury Milan
By jAcK nAPIER - November 25 - 1:46 amWhen I test drove the Milan, the dealership did not have a model I wanted; AWD w/ a moonroof. When I got my car, I noticed that the moonroof cost me 4 of head room. Consequently I hit my head on every little bump. The design of the back window is poor. You can not tell where the end of the car is and you can not see 3-5feet beyond the back bumper. God help any of you who have children or pets around when you are driving in reverse. You would think that engineering would see this risk a mile away. I hope pregnant women or people who can not stand strong fumes do not buy this car. The plastic they use in the car is still giving me a sore throat. Steering is loose at highway speed

ROCK SOLID! - 2008 Mercury Milan
By lee - October 2 - 11:23 pmMy 2008 Milan AWD looks sharp in black w/ spoiler and 2 tone leather interior.Has all the options except navigation.I never had to do anything,not even put air in the tires except w/ oil changes.Takes a curve at 75 mph on the parkway w/o any problem. Getting 30 mpg if going 70 and under.Fun to drive,handles well,love the little things I used to have in my Lincoln like the keypad on the door,compass,auto headlights,calculated mpg etc.but for a lot less money than a Lincoln.My friend has a Lexus 250 IS Awd that cost 10,000 more, has less features,plain interior and has had problems to boot!Go Ford and keep up the good work!

Great car - 2008 Mercury Milan
By Nancy - September 5 - 5:31 pmI have had this car for 5 yrs now. Loved it! Had a few problems but nothing major. I would definitely consider getting another one if I were able to find a newer version but I think they have discontinued this vehicle.

Very Impressed - 2008 Mercury Milan
By Very Impressed - March 3 - 5:20 pmI really like this car. I traded in a 2006 Mercury Montego, and overall like this car much better. Plenty of leg room in the front, handles very well, nice pickup, and the gas mileage is not bad. The car looks great, better tires and wheels than the Montego, plenty of trunk space. Fun to drive.Overall, I am very happy with this car and would recommend to everyone. Coming from a full size to a mid size makes me like the mid size better. I change cars every 26 months, and this cars a keeper.

Excellent - 2008 Mercury Milan
By Derrick Bledsoe - November 10 - 11:13 pmExcellent experience, I honestly dont have any complaints, the ride is great, the color is gorgeous. The v6 power keeps you ahead of traffic.
