  Underrated - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By KNOFAC - July 11 - 11:00 am

  Just got this recently and I love it. Ive always liked large "dad cars," and this car is a monster! Its design is subtle, and probably bland to most, but I love how elegant it looks. Its a deceptively powerful car that accelerates and handles like a dream. Could use a little more power, though. Its roomy, which is great for my lankier build. Tons of trunk/passenger space. Its mechanically sound and has a great factory sound system. The fuel economy is right around 20/28 for me, which is very good for a huge V6 vehicle. Overall, this car is a sleeper hit. Its comfortable and efficient, but wont appeal to fans of smaller vehicles that preach about fuel economy.

  We love our Montego - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By LoveourMontego - April 29 - 8:13 am

  The Montego we own has such a spacious interior both front and back seats. We also like the fact that it is a little higher than most cars for head room and from the ground. The name of this car should be Comfort. The only negative we have found in the 2-3 months we have owned it is that when you accelerate it is a little noisy. That is saying a lot if that is the only negative we have found so far.

  Continental Replacement - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By Keigh Howland - December 1 - 9:10 pm

  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.

  Great American Car - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By jordan - November 25 - 12:56 pm

  An exceptional vehicle. Ride, handling, interior room, CVT + AWD, fuel economy, build fit and finish have all exceeded my expectations. Wrap it up in a car that has the best safety rating of any American car, and you quickly understand that this is a wonderful vehicle that represents the best possible car/suv combo out there today, all for much less than my 06 RX330. It feels good to be able to buy American again. Bravo Mercury for a job well done!!!!

  Missed opportunity - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By richman6 - September 21 - 4:02 am

  When I first purchased this car I was initially impressed. It was very comfortable to drive with the seating and easy to get in and out of the car with lots of trunk space. Unfortunately, then the problems started to surface. The paint began to peel off the leading edge of my aluminum hood, the drivers side window goes down when you press the up button, the rear drums are rusting prematurely, and the module that controls my AWD shorted out my control panel! The dealer quoted me $1900 to replace the module and keep my AWD! My first and probably last experience with the Ford brand. BTW, my car has not even reached 100,000 miles.

  Cant beat it. - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By Marc - May 24 - 9:26 am

  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.

  Montego Luxury = Superb Value - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By slbroug - December 20 - 8:16 pm

  We purchased the Montego for our second home in Florida. This is the first American car for us in many years - we expect better than average in every aspect. The comfort and versatility of this car are tough to match anywhere near the <$22k that we paid. It delivers loads of space, very comfortable leather seats, a factory incentive, and 24 mpg average in mixed driving. We are happy and impressed.

  Great family car - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By Bill Riley - September 6 - 5:06 am

  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.

  I have enough power - 2006 Mercury Montego
  By deacon - September 6 - 4:06 am

  the montego has enough power for me. a bigger engine would be good for power buffs, but this vehicle will get up and scat pretty darn good. the only thing i wish it would have would be the power seat on the passenger side to adjust up and down. otherwise the seats are good. i love the height of the seats in the car, great visabilty. the car handles very ggod on wet pavement . on dry it has a tendency for a little understeer. my friend has the cvt with awd and it is fantastic. the volvo haldex system is probably the best on the market today and am glad that ford is using it on the 500 and the montego. to sum this up, a great car for the ride and price, roomy nad comfortable.
