    Car gets great comments on the looks. Interior and trunk is very spacious and well laid out. The driving view from all sides is good. smooth ride. The transmission and engine output needs work.

  • Just be aware of a problem - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    I took delivery of my Montego in October 2005. While my wife and I love the car the quality is not there. Since October the car has had struts replaced, ABS repaired other things that dealer cant find, Main issue is that the Main airbag warning light has come on 4 times and Ford is unable to fix. They have replaced the OCM module and yet the problem still exists. Now they will be replacing the sensor under the seat. Wont be keeping the car as we are not sure of the reliability of the vehicle.

  • Great Car for the money - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    I looked around a lot. Was looking at the 300C. Not worth the $12,000 extra for the hemi. This has been a fun car to drive. Its really well put together and handles great.

  • I want another one - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    Despite the fact that the original dealer went belly-up last year, we still love our Montego. Its by far the most comfortable vehicle weve ever had - or will have. It has been totally problem free except for a recall to replace the rear disk brakes at no cost to us. Were really saddened to see the Mercury brand go away and would love to find another vehicle that has the tremendously comfortable seating of the Montego.

    The Montego is a decent car with a few exceptions. My main complaint is the area where you would rest your left foot is awkward as the wheel well comes in at that area and makes long drives very uncomfortable due to the restricted area for your left foot. My second complaint is the seats should be wider & the console narrower. The width of the seats is very restrictive. The seats could be padded a bit better as well. The CVT transmission is great & smooth, the engine lacks acceleration but is ok under normal driving. My Montego averages about 20-21 MPG which is lower than the specs state but still good. Im not sure of the aluminum block for long life.Radio is real cheep sounding.

  • A fine automobile - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    Having owned 7 Mercurys in the past 18 years I am impressed by the constant quality and reliability of the marque. The 2006 Montego, although not an impressive looking style, is right up there with most vehicles in its class. The comfort is absolutely superb for both driver and passengers. The roominess is superior to most cars, even those costing thousands more. Tall seating is almost as good as most SUVs.

  • 2005 Mercury Montego premier 2 whl drive - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    Most problem is the reading the speedometer in the daylight, I believe they should have reversed the contrasts. Night is ok. The steering adjustment is awkward compared to the Lincon Town Car I had. It was a pleasure to drive.. The Montedgo rides fairly well and is comfortable. The side mirrors are difficult for my to see out of as they are very large and she is smaller than I even with the seat adjust, it does not help her. If they would correct the intrument lighting in day time I would be satisfied

  • I Love This Car - 2006 Mercury Montego
    By -

    Great car for family of 5. Lots of room, lots of comfort. Plenty of power. Lots of fun to drive. I love the high set front seats. Theyre great for short people. The leather interior is wonderful. With all the luxury features this car has, it is really a great value. And it looks great.
