  Comfortable Car - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Robert - May 9 - 10:20 am

  No regrets purchasing this vehicle after 3 months of ownership. Handles very well and has a solid, safe feel to it. Not too impressed with the "audiophile" system - seems to lack midrange. Would prefer a 12V outlet in the backseat instead of inside console. Overall a great value for a better than average vehicle.

  Great Car - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By BobRobert - March 6 - 1:46 pm

  I had back trouble and was looking for a good mileage car that I could get into. Im6,1 and 260 lbs so I needed a lot of room. At first I didnt like it as I thought I was leg cramped! I then realized I could move my brake anf gas pedal up and down. That took care of my leg problem. I average between 23-25 miles in the city and about 27-29.6 on the highway!

  Transmission out in just 2 years! - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Cindy - February 16 - 3:03 am

  The transmission went out on my 2007 Montego! The car is serviced every 3000 miles and babied! I was totally shocked by this unexpected issue!

  Expressway riding? try this! - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Cheri0 - May 31 - 12:33 pm

  Bought car gently used, was like new. No surprise the 6 cyl. isnt great around town, but not real bad. The great surprise is I have gotten up to almost 33 mpg on expressway trips, and believe avg might be better with longer trips! So give it a try! See if the gas needle stays put, on a fast half hour ride!

  Expectations exceeded - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Ron - June 18 - 4:03 pm

  Purchased the car mainly for the Mrs. where safety and comfort were a top priority. It has more than exceeded my expectations. I had a Milan as a loner car for about a week and when I picked up the Montego and drove it home the difference noted in just about every aspect of driving was amazingly better. A day/night difference and an eye opener to the quality built into the Montego. Took the Mrs. about a week to get used the CVT which she now raves about.

  Great All Around Car - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Peter - December 12 - 9:53 am

  I have been driving my Montego about six months ago and continue to enjoy it every time I drive it. The CVT transmission took about a week to get used to and now when I drive my wifes 5 speed automatic Honda I find my self missing the CVT. I have been getting between 23-27 mpg depending on the amount of highway/city driving that I am doing. Seats are very comfortable and the cabin is very quiet again better than my wifes Honda. It is a little slow off the start and could use more power but that is the only real complaint. Handles well, love the HID headlights, plenty of room in cabin and in the trunk (can fit my skis in with out folding down the seat). Great performer for the money.

  A "Can-do" car - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Elizabeth Clark - February 24 - 6:10 am

  The base price is good, but you have too many extras which need to be include in the base price. Responsiveness of the steering is outstanding,which may cause the wider turning circle. The vehicle needs more power--a V8 or a direct fuel injection system. I like the improved responsiveness.

  Best Family Car for the money ! ! - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Tanzer, -P.E., PhD - January 17 - 2:16 am

  Our driving and ownwership experience thus far has exceeded our expectations. At this point we have 17,000 miles on this car, we had no problems and averaged up to 32.2 mpg highway and 20.0 mpg in relatively short distance city driving. Quality fit and finish is very good.

  2007 Montego - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By Pat - January 2 - 7:26 am

  I just recently bought a slightly used 2007 Montego with 17K miles. It was a returned lease back that was in near perfect condition. I wanted a good quality larger American car that got good gas mileage. Im not your average Mercury buyer as Im 30 years old. So far I am really happy with the purchase. This car got such negative press since it first launched and I cant understand why? The engine is plenty adequate for every day driving. At 80mph Im only hitting 2,100 RPMs. This engine is really reliable as I had it in my Taurus and put 155,000+ miles on it with no major engine problems. Averaging 26MPG overall and usually 29MPG highway.

  Mercury has another winner - 2007 Mercury Montego
  By MANNY B - October 26 - 7:36 am

  Our new Montego, like the previous 6 Mercs we have owned does not disappoint. The car is comfortable, good looking and comes with all the bells and whistles. The AWD feature is very welcome in a family sedan. The ride is soft, but that is precisely what makes it so smooth and comfortable. Acceleration is adequate, although far from being a speed demon.
