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.

  My first American car - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Tony - June 13 - 9:40 am

  I owned this car for about one month and I fell in love with it. I drove Honda, Nissan, Mazda before and no one can compare with this Milan. So far I drove about 1,000 miles and MPS is about 26.5. I love digital keypad power door locks and you will never worry about locking you key inside the car.

  Excellent Choise - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Don Flory - May 14 - 5:03 pm

  I wanted an American brand mid-size V6 sedan. I looked at the Saturn, Dodge, and Pontiac. I was convinced that the Milan had the other three beat in just about all areas. My wife loves the ride, I like the power, and I am very happy with the economy of this power train. We took a 2500 mile trip from Michigan to Florida and averaged 30.6 MPG at 70MPH.

  Great American sedan - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By JCLOVESYA - March 27 - 7:30 pm

  I downsized from a Crown Vic & Lincoln Continental. I am a big guy 6" 215 lbs 65 yrs old. I was a little concerned about buying what is a smaller car but so far I am comfortable. I average 24 MPG in first 1500 miles.If I drive with my foot in it I am getting 20. Great Handling quiet ride. The sound system is great. Roomy trunk(back seats fold down). The 4 cyl a little week with out high revving but this is the nature of 4 cyls,& I bought for economy. If you need power V6 it. But I am happy with the I4 for the economy. The sound system controls on the steering wheel are great. Handles and corners better than many cars I have driven.

  Nothing but issues - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By thomusssa - February 6 - 5:42 pm

  2008 Milan...must have been 1st run modle or something, everything that could go wrong has. I drive highway miles back and forth to work, consider myself close to average to slightly above avg on how hard I drive a car (and take care of it!). After approx 68k miles, transmission goes out. Took to Ford dealer, they want $6,700 for reman transmission. Unreal, had to go with used transmission due to cost. Have had 2 interior items fail, and need replaced. (console tab and short in power outlet) Now, engine rods knocking?! I see good reviews, but cant understand how so much can happen to 1 car. Ive had a Toyota Corolla with 280k miles, and no major issues. Milan was a mistake for me!

  Sleeper and Price Performer - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Ronin - December 12 - 5:53 am

  One of Fords less-known price performer. A V-6 with plenty of power and a surprising consistent 31 MPG at highway speeds. Comfortable and roomy with basic features that are usually sought after. Built sturdy and economical, this vehicle is a great choice competing with under powered 4 cylinders in its class.

  Camry killer - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By M. Whit - December 9 - 4:16 pm

  With only 1000 miles on it, Im getting 28 mpg on the highway. Holds the road very well - like driving on velcro. Very good base audio system. Leather seats comfortable, especially with the heated seats option. Good over the hood visibility. Large trunk and tons of cargo capacity with 60/40 split folding rear seats. Transmission shifts smoothly and the quiet V6 provides enough power to move this car around. Fit and finish is good and the vapor silver paint job looks great on this car.

  Great commuter - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By JP - November 23 - 1:10 pm

  Bought this used Milan as a commuter for a 100 mile daily commute. So far, averaging 28 MPG mainly HWY miles. Seats are very comfortable. The 6 CD changer sounds great. The sync system works much better with my blackberry then the system in my 2004 Acura TL! A slight power trade-off but well worth it for the 28 MPG. This car is a great value!

  Very Classy - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Vanessa V - July 23 - 2:50 am

  Ive been driving this car for just under two months, and I am in love with it! I have no complaints whatsover, except on the standard model which I am leasing, there is only two gears. The lowest gear is too low but the other one is too high for going down steep hills. No problem with the horsepower, it does fine for me. I wouldnt change anything about the looks, its beautiful inside and out. The Milan makes a great impression on people. The gas mileage isnt as good as I thought, Im getting around 26 in the mountains. The 08 Milan also has huge trunk space.

  For the money - GREAT car! - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Scott - April 11 - 8:20 am

  I didnt know what to expect from this car. I traded an 04 STS Cadillac, and thought I was giving up a lot. Didnt happen! Love the room in this car. Love the comfort (I drive 35,000 a year) and love the fact that everything works, no squeaks, and great milage. Around 25 mpg. I am VERY happy with this car, and cant wait to buy an 2010. Love it!

  Ride, Reliability, Comfort and Looks! - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Mark - February 24 - 4:20 am

  I have had this Milan for about a month and it is the nicest car I have ever had and I have owned Acuras, Nissans, Volkswagens, Fords, Chevys and Pontiacs. I have the I4 Premier with Charcoal Leather and all the bells and whistles except the Nav system and it definitely turns heads.
