    Car gets great comments on the looks. Interior and trunk is very spacious and well laid out. The driving view from all sides is good. smooth ride. The transmission and engine output needs work.

  • A fine automobile - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    Having owned 7 Mercurys in the past 18 years I am impressed by the constant quality and reliability of the marque. The 2006 Montego, although not an impressive looking style, is right up there with most vehicles in its class. The comfort is absolutely superb for both driver and passengers. The roominess is superior to most cars, even those costing thousands more. Tall seating is almost as good as most SUVs.

  • 2005 Mercury Montego premier 2 whl drive - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    Most problem is the reading the speedometer in the daylight, I believe they should have reversed the contrasts. Night is ok. The steering adjustment is awkward compared to the Lincon Town Car I had. It was a pleasure to drive.. The Montedgo rides fairly well and is comfortable. The side mirrors are difficult for my to see out of as they are very large and she is smaller than I even with the seat adjust, it does not help her. If they would correct the intrument lighting in day time I would be satisfied

  • Montego is a Large comfortable car - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    I bought the Montego Premier as a replacement for the Mercury Sable. The Montego is a larger car with a better interior and better ride. The engine is not a powerhouse but is adquate. On interstate driving, the mpg is around 26. Overall, I am pleased with the overall performance of the Montego and it is an improvemnet over the Sable.

  • Continental Replacement - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    A laypersons assessment of the 2006 Mercury Montego Premier AWD. I was looking for a replacement for a 1999 Continental; felt the Montego came the closest and Im not disappointed. CVT transmission very smooth and satisfactory for passing. General driving --26.9 MPG after 2011 miles.

  • Cant beat it. - 2006 Mercury Montego

    Cant beat the Mercury Montego. AWD, spacious interior, comfortable, all the bells and whistles, loaded "to the gills" for around $30K. Its the poor mans Audi A8 but Audi doesnt offer 6 years with zero interest loans.

  • Great family car - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    The Mercury Montego is a great family sedan with loads of interior and trunk space. The elevated seating is a very nice feature which is not only comfortable but allows easy entrance and exit from the vehicle. The instrument panel is attractive and functional, and the leather seats have a nice look to them. After the first 13000 miles, we have yet to experience our first problem of any kind. The ride is very comfortable and the handling is very controlled. Mileage seems to be about what they claim for the car which is 21/29mpg. Performance is sufficient for a car this size unless you really need to be the first away from every light. Overall....a great car.

    By -

    Ford has come a long way in producing a quality vehicle, owned this mercury from March 2005 never had any problems with it, put almost 17,000 miles on it until I got rid of it November 2005. This was/is HUGE car, lots and lots of room, great features and content. However, the darned thing just could not get out of its own way. Ford made a drastic mistake with the powerplant, its a shame because otherwise a great vehicle!!!

  • I like my 2006 Mercury Montego Premier - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    I recently bought a 2006 Mercury Montego. I am a senior lady and was on my own as far as finding a car and doing my own research. I used this website often. I drove 8 cars. The Mercury was the first car I drove and after considering all the others, it is the car I bought. I am no expert, but I do know quality and recognize performance in cars. This car is a lovely car. Good looking, big comfy interior, a heavy weight which drives and feels good. Corners great. You could live in the trunk. On the downside, undersized engine and some peculiar gadget arrangements inside. But overall, a wonderful buy. If you find one with low miles, buy it.
