  • So Much car for such a small price - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    About 2 weeks ago i bought a Mercury Montego Luxury AWD i am very happy with my car it has many features that a Lexus ES 330 didnt even have and at about $7,000 dollars cheaper i like the way the car handles and rides its very smooth and quiet and acceleration is good but should be a little bit more powerful due to the cars size i am also glad the Montego has command seating which gives you a much better view of the road and the big side mirrors make it easy for getting in and out of tights spaces and so does the Parking Asst. and i like the black leather interior and the nice Silver Birch Paint Color and in my opinion this car should put Mercury back on track because it ia a wonderful car.

  • Luxury not Zip - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    First off I work where they build the Merc. That said, this is not an ad to sell more but my real opinion of this car. It is what it is, a well built economical. (read really good milage for a big car)It isnt a hot rod but youre there at the next stop light with the rest. I see over 17 mpg in town driving and 28 and change on the road with three and a half folks inside and stuff in the trunk. I never have to ask; Hey you got enough room back there?, theres plenty, even the Shack might not complain. If you like more power its coming soon in 08 from what I read. I drove out through the mountains of CO. and did it without strain. Try one. Ok I do work there:)

  • Montego vs Ford 500 - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    we found the interior more attractive and of better quality than the Ford 500, Somewhat sporty drive with "firm" suspension. Mercury Salesmen are better informed about the car & had better choices. In the past, we have found the Mercury service departments to be very good. Price was comparable to "500" and good in this period of "employee type" discounts. better trunk space & controls than our "Avalon"

    Excellent car. A lot of car for the money. Performs well, quiet and handle well. Kind of wild design. AWD is an excellent feature if you live in a cold climate.

  • Still too soon to know for sure - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    I changed the tires immediately, they were a bad ride. The motor is a bit loud in 1st first gear. I said the car hesitates when going into 2nd gear, but the dealer shot me down. The rear brakes drag when left overnight, there is a TSB so the dealer put new rear brakes and turned the rear rotors. The car is good on longer trips.The exterior mirrors are good in day driving, but I seem to have my vision on the left blocked and a glare. My wife likes the high drive visibility. Needs some more power when leaving from a light. I had a Mercury before this one and it lasted me 18 years, why fool with success.

  • Worth Consideration - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    If youre not hung up on luxury car brand names then the Montego is a great alternative care choice. Roomy, solid feeling ride, good looking (although not in the class of some of the luxury brands), great cabin layout, pretty good stereo system, acceptable accelaration. Lots of bang for the buck! I get a lot of looks when Im driving this car. I got it in the Merlot color. I switched from a 2003 Acura TL to the Montego. I considered the Avalon, the Azera, the ES330 and the TL, but decided to instead pocket the extra $3,000 to $6,000 those cars would have cost. I just rolled past 1,000 miles and I havent regretted my choice.

  • Go USA - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    This car is way more than I expected for an American car. Ride, comfort and style sum up the vehicle. I like all the features and the quietness of the ride is a big plus. I turned in an Acura TL for this baby and am really pleased. I urge all car buyers looking for a big American well appointed car to drive the Merc.
