Overview & Reviews

For 2008, a keyless entry keypad is standard on the Mercury Milan, and there are a number of new options. Among these are a reverse parking sensor, the Mercury "Sync" multimedia system (which integrates devices such as cell phones and MP3 players into the vehicle's controls) and upgraded interior ambient lighting. The Sync system and the ambient lighting, however, will be introduced later in the model year.

• Roomy interior, athletic handling, smooth ride, available all-wheel drive, competitive price.

• Engines are down on power and refinement, stability control is not available, some mediocre interior plastics.

  2008 Mewrcury Milan V-6 - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Allen Joyner - October 15 - 3:13 pm

  Great car. We like it better than my wifes 2007 Toyota Camry. Handles well, spirited acceleration yet decent gas mileage considering. The new 6 speed automatic transmission a real plus.

  Real review - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Leo - July 21 - 5:53 pm

  I am giving the car points by what it realy deserves. This car is decent looking, fairly comfortable, and has good mileage. The car is probably best value due to factory incentives. The problems are - not enaugh headspace for people 61" and over, engine is little bit noisier and definitely not silky smooth. It also lacks the power to accelerate - be prepared to be passed by moms in minivans. I had a problem with steering (pulling to left side), this was fixed by dealership (changed steering rod) as warranty repairs. Otherwise no problem with quality. Everything works fine. Also Ford improved the lights so you can drive at night and actually see.

  Wondering what if I had chosen Camry - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Dave - May 21 - 3:50 pm

  Chose Milan for $2500 savings over comparably equipped Camry. Ours is standard 4 cyl with auto package. Car pulled to right slightly on test drive, became worse as miles passed. Took to dealer for alignment at 600 miles, they had for 2 and half days. Had to replace upper control arms after alignment didnt fix problem (TSB from Ford.) Though now tracking better, tire pressure monitor system now shows fault. Now I wonder if I should have spent the extra money on the Camry.

  Nice vehicle, great price - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Pat - March 5 - 12:40 pm

  I purchased this vehicle used with only 3000 miles! It was not my first choice, but I had read about it online and decided to try it. The dealer had it in a back corner. I like the drive and I feel comfortable and I like all of the features, although I will probably never use them all. I am not impressed with my mpgs so far, although I am told it will get better as I "break the car in". I am getting 17 highway! Except for that, I love the vehicle. It has a smooth ride and I get no interior rattling (so far) as some have reported.

  Drove BMWs for 17 years. - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By JDL - January 3 - 12:40 am

  The Milan is a well designed car with many features that are exclusive to Ford/Mercury. The car handles well as a BMW528 and for $28000.00 less! Mine is loaded with Nav, bluetooth, Sync, sat radio, AWD, and believe it or not, the car turns heads. Its got power and the car stops on a dime. Handling is aggressive. I did find that the head-room with the sun-roof was tight, but it was fine once I adjusted the seat, and tilted the steering wheel to suit my position. A very minor issue that I have had to deal with before on my BMWs and Mercedes. The car is awesome in the snow. Mercury set out to beat the Japanese manufactures, and they beat or matched the Europeans in the process. A great car!

  Sweet Ride - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By tdvandy2 - November 26 - 2:30 am

  This car is proof that at least one of the domestics finally "gets it". Easy to drive at any speed. Quiet, smooth, and a nicely done interior.

  Mercury makes buying American Fun! - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Nick - November 10 - 10:03 pm

  This car stands out from the others in its class. I have the Premier V-6 with AWD. The 17" wheels and classy interior give this car a high-class appearance and feel at a fraction of the cost. People who see my car instantly change their mind about the Mercury product line. The feel is excellent and the car seems to hug the road with ease. I highly recommend the Milan to anyone that wants domestic and appreciates a little Detroit flair and ingenuity! I never thought I would own a Mercury at my age but I do and now I love the whole Mercury lineup.

  Better than expected - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By maxie - November 10 - 8:30 am

  After having my heart set on an Audi A4, I test drove the Milan at the same dealership. When I compared the cars, it was apparent the Milan was the better buy, and I decided to take the chance. Of course, its not an Audi, but it is very comfortable, has great features like the Sync and the satellite radio, and drives extremely well. After putting about 7,000 miles on it, Im still happy with my decision and would definitely recommend this car to anyone.

  Beyond Looks... Mercury Milan - 2008 Mercury Milan
  By Joseph Soto - August 28 - 8:36 pm

  I bought my 2008 I-4 Mercury Milan Premier because I really loved its exterior & interior looks. After the honeymoon was over I realized that a 4 cylinder 150 hp engine was not enough to generate excitement during aceleration & passing speeds on this car. To top all my wife bought a 4 cylinder 2008 Nissan Altima S. I drove it yesterday and blew me away with its acceleration. Yes I know it has 25 extra horsepower. But It made me feel young again. Sorry Lincoln-Mercury. But the truth shall set you free. Looks can be deceiving and Mercury Milan Premier I-4 is really a Grand Pa Corolla in disguise!
