  • have your airbags checked - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    My wife was just broad-sided by an suv traveling at 30-40 mph. The Milans side airbags did not deploy. Fortunately,she did not suffer serious injury, but certainly could have in such a serious crash. I would suggest to anyone owning a Milan return to the dealership to have airbag system checked.

  • First American and Automatic a BUY! - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    This is our first American car and first automatic. We considered VW CC, Mazda 6S, Acura TL and Infinity 35. But felt guilty with the recession and auto industry meltdown so decided to give domestic a try. We settled on a Hybrid Fusion and made a deposit but lead time was just too long (our second car had been stolen months earlier) and could wait no longer. Saw the Milan, liked it, did some research and ended up with a Milan Voga with AWD. Wife still misses her fun-to-drive VW Jetta Turbo and Subaru Outback but loves features of Milan AWD Voga. Her biggest complaint is the turning circle, which I hope is improved in the 2010 model.

  • Better than the Japanese Imports - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Super styling cues. I love the 17" multi-spoke alloys. Lots of trunk space, especially when you fold flat the back and passenger front seats. Mercury has really raised the bar with quality materials. Love the Microsoft Sync, 6 disc in-dash CD changer, Sirius satellite radio, and all the bells and whistles you would pay extra for in other vehicles in its class.

  • nice car - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I went from a Ford Explorer, that used to be my daughters but thats another story, to a new 2009 Milan and it has been wonderful. I was worried about the power of the I4, but it has plenty for my taste. After driving the v6 and was certain that the I4 would serve my purpose. I drive it mostly to work, about 10 miles one way, but my wife ownes an Lincoln MKX and we are finding ourselves driving the Milan more and more. Great little BIG car from Ford.

  • drifting - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    It feel good but then there was drifting to the right and you had to keep pressure on the steering wheel all the time to stay on the road. they have worked on it and also lied to me what had been done and basically have told me live with it. Some of the work that was done was not told to me and when I question them different stories. the real problem is that they showed me letter that some of Ford and Mecury front wheel drives will drift to the right and states no correction needed. ( my point is that they didnt tell me about any drifting before I purchased this vehicle or I would have got a Chevy. Ford is not up front with there customers.

  • Excellent car, exceptional value - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I made the mistake of trading my 2010 Milan for a Jeep not long ago. I rectified that error by trading the Jeep back in for an 09 Milan Premier with the 3.0 V6 and six-speed trans. I dont understand some of these reviews, especially the "expert" ones, which complain about the 09 Milans lack of power and poor fuel mileage. My Milan has outstanding power and mileage, generally around 33 mpg. Like my 10 Milan, it handles and rides like a champ, but it also has more amenities, like heated leather seats and a better sound system. I like the Milan, as well, for its distinctive styling. It is a good deal different from its sister, the Fusion, and over looks like nothing else on the road.

  • L/M is back with a high quality car - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    I picked up my Milan Premier (V-6 FWD) about two weeks ago and can’t say enough positive things about it. The ride is very controlled and smooth with just the right amount of steering wheel tension. Turning into a parking space is controlled, easy and tight. I got 24.6 MPG on my first tank of about 65% highway travel. Both interior and exterior fit and finish is excellent. The SYNC voice command system is exceptional. All vehicles should have it to make hands free cell calling mandatory. It’s just safer for everyone with your eyes on the road.

  • Great basic sedan - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Well, I turned in the lease of my 06 Lincoln Zephyr and purchased an 09 Milan Base model with auto transmission. A very good basic sedan and the 4 cyl gets great mileage. After driving a fully loaded Lincoln for 3 years its hard to go to a base model, however, I dont do the driving I used to. The car is fine for what I need, however, the headrests are very uncomfortable! Why they changed them Ill never know! I had no problem with the ones on my Lincoln. Hopefully, I can switch them out! Ive had the car for 2 weeks and I still havent put gas in it! Great basic no frills transportation.

  • Mustang to Milan - 2009 Mercury Milan
    By -

    Great car, not as quick as the Mustang but has almost as much horse power as my 92 Mustang. Handles very well, build quality is great, terrific in snow. I dont get the love affair with foreign cars. Ive yet to be in one that surpasses the quality of this car.
