  Enjoy driving the Montego - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By Suzanne - November 28 - 9:16 pm

  I just returned from a 500 mile trip to North Carolina, driving my new AWD Merc Montego. It is a joy to drive on the road and through the mountains. Very comfortable both in the front and back seat area. With 4 adults in the car, we felt uncrowded. The trunk is enormous and held all of our luggage with ease. All in all, it is a great car for travel.

  Handles nice. Roomy interior with very comfortable seating. Very roomy in front & back seat. Large trunk at a nice height for putting in ad removing items. Car seems to have the best features of a car that sits tall like a van.

  The Montego rides comfortably and quiet with a well designed interior and large trunk capacity. Much quieter ride than my previous Lincoln LS. Good visibility with its higher seat confiduration with ample room in the back. Very pleased with the vehicle.

  Auto is smooth riding, no wind noise, i like the cvt transmission you never feel when it shifts, cup holders are to close to each other that could be improved mileage is good for a car of this size

  We have been totally satisfied with our Montego. Driving at 65 MPH on an interstate, we have gotten 31.5 MPG. At 70 MPH, it goes down to 27 MPG. City driving makes it go down to 25 MPG. The height of the seats make getting in and out of the car extremely easy. We are both tall, so the more than ample length seats are a plus. Like all Ford products, the car corners fantastically. The 5-star safety rating is yet another plus.

  Surprising! - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By tkaxman - June 8 - 8:10 am

  Bought this 2005 with 90K miles on it, and have driven it 15K miles. Still looks and feels brand new. Excellent comfort, spacious interior, and good road manners make this car enjoyable to drive. Excellent build quality. Easily fits five adults. Engine performance very adequate for normal driving.

  Proof in the Pudding - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By Jim Wells - May 23 - 7:06 pm

  I finally got to take a 3000-mile drive through Wa, Idaho, Montana and Oregon with my 2005 Premier AWD. This is a great long-trip car in the Ford tradition. Comfort and 27-mpg over every type of rural and urban terrain with the CVT tranny. The Duratec V-6 performed more than adequately throughout the trip. Its a little slow at the get-go, but is fine at higher speeds, so dont be put off by hot rod auto magazine editors. A very civilized car with great content, quality and comfort for the money. Nothing so wrong with "modern maturity" as one reviewer wrote.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2005 Mercury Montego
  By Margaret Fitzgerald - March 25 - 7:53 pm

  This is my 9th car and I can say that it it truly the best Ive ever owned. The amenities are great, it feels good and I look good in it. It is a joy to pull up in the gas station and someone asks about my car. All my cars have been Ford/Mercury, except for one drastic mistake I made when I was much younger. But since then been grown I stay in the Ford/Mercury line!
