Audi-esque - 2005 Mercury Montego
By Montgomery - October 23 - 5:13 pmI have owned many cars and SUVs. I wanted an all wheel drive sedan. The Mercury Montego reminds me very much of my 2001 Audi A6. The design is clean, not garrish like the Chrysler 300. The CVT is extrememly smooth. The car handles well and is HUGE inside. The gas mileage is better than any other full size sedan or SUV I have driven recently, and it performs on regular gas, not premium. The engine is a little coarse, but has adequate power.

new montego v. old sable - 2005 Mercury Montego
By pod - August 31 - 5:06 amVisually a successful modernization of the Sable. Solid feeling chassis. Larger wheels. Excellent, though conservative, body lines and exterior materials. The interior is improved over the Sable giving a superb seating position. The few new electronic readouts are helpful. The seats are disappointing in that there is inadequate lateral bolstering, although this car isnt going to generate much g-force on turns so it may be academic. I wanted to remain loyal to mercurys value oriented products but the engine/transmission combination and the added weight make this a sluggish, underpowered car. I prefer my Sable in that regard. Overall an impressive redo but fatally underpowered.
