  They finally did it! - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By Don - June 8 - 5:16 am

  This car is unbelievable! Im 36 years old and NEVER in my life would have thought Id own a Mercury, but this car converted me. I was shopping for an upscale sedan that was good-looking, fun to drive, well-built and could carry people in comfort. I looked at everything from Audis and BMWs to Toyotas and Hondas, but NONE of them compared to this car. The Montego has European ride and handling with Japanese build quality! Sure its not as exciting on the outside as some of the others, but it is very elegant looking and the interior far surpasses them in style, quality, and comfort. Ive driven nothing but imports for 15 years and I have to say, this is the best car Ive ever owned.

  Replaced a Ford Windstar that was too large for the wife. She loves this vehicle. I now have my truck back.

  Still Like it -- at the 3yr anniversary - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By Ithantech - March 29 - 2:26 pm

  I went into my search expecting to go with one of the Japanese sedans, but quickly found they all have a center console that juts into the leg room of the middle backseat passenger -- so they were eliminated. I bought mine 3 summers ago -- now with the warranty set to expire, I wondered: do I keep it or trade it in? My answer -- keep it, I like it so much. When the Montego crossed my radar, it met or exceeded every criteria -- very roomy interior, good gas mileage (31mpg on a recent hiway trip), trunk that can hold many sets of golf clubs, sun roof, cvt, awd. And the price was very reasonable. I feel a little luxury every time I drive it, and I didnt overpay.

  Wow!! this car is amazing. it is built on a Volvo body , and has tenacious all-wheel drive. The interior is like a Benz. If they made this car any better Bmw would be out of the market.

  Another better idea from Ford L/M - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By j.o. - December 7 - 4:23 am

  What a fantastic car!! It is so comfortable and fun to drive. We had the spoiler, clear bra, window tint, Eclipse navagation system and locking gas cap added aftermarket. It is very sporty and has all the features that more expensive cars have. The CVT transmission is very smooth. We could have bought a more expensive car, but this car has it all for a great price. It handles very well on corners and excellent braking. We were going to get a Lincoln Zephyr in 2006, but the Montego has more room and AWD with almost Lincoln luxury. Ford kicks GMs butt with this and many other fine cars and trucks. Chrysler 300 is no match for this car either. Compare any sedan to top notch Montego.

  Mercuey Montego Engineering improvments - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By William Parris - December 4 - 1:23 pm

  One of the best handling automobiles I have ever driven. The way this transmission and revolutions of the engine work together is really great. This gives you the horse power you need and keeps the engine RPM turning where your most HP is generated. You never feel or hear any shifing inside the car.

  Great Car - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By C Parmelee - November 19 - 6:03 am

  I have had the Montego only a couple of months, however I find this to be one of the best vehicles that I have owned. The ride is comfortable with plenty of storage inside and trunk area. The gas milege is terrific.

  The best car I ever had! - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By Cornelia Strohmeier - November 1 - 12:03 pm

  I am so glad that I chose the right car. I looked at several cars and did not like them. When I saw Silver Montego I fell in love with it and bought it right away. Still happy with it. Its 10 in rating.

  Best in its segment - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By txhoser - September 15 - 1:13 am

  I like the size at 200" it fits into the garage much better than my F150. The ride is smooth but not at Cadilac standards. The sound system is good but could use a sub-woofer -- and an amp. Watch out of large bumps and dips. The wheele travel is short and bottoms out quickly. The seats offer good support but are by no means sport buckets -- more for comfort which they do very well.
