2009 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I have admired the Milan since the 2006 model hit the streets. And when I decided to sell the 2 cars I had and just have one their was only one I would consider, the Milan Premier. It has everything that a more expensive car has but at a reasonable price. And at the time i had many to chose from. Driving this car is a dream and the looks are fantastic! I still just LOVE to look at it. The ride is so smooth and my fuel economy is better than posted here but I do almost all Highway driving. I did have a minor brake issue from the car sitting on the lot and not driven for an extended period of time but the warranty covered everything. It is my 36th car and my favorite of all!#2a1995camero

Favorite Features

Leather seating, combination lock entry, Auto everything,SYNC, Sirrius radio, performance of the 2.3L inline 4cyl. Just smooth and Beautiful!

Suggested Improvements

A microphone that hears you when the AC is on high.

2009 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I have owned over 10 vehicles (Taurus, Camry, Scion, Sonata, etc.) and this one is the best. Was planning on purchasing a Camry but the 2009 Milan was too good of a car and too good a value to pass up. Lots of features for the money, great fuel mileage (31 mpg so far), build quality is excellent, it looks classy and its been dead reliable. I drive 50,000 miles a year and am pleased with the comfort level and fun-to-drive of this car. Ford is making good American cars and my Milan is proof :)

Favorite Features

Style, Microsoft Sync (amazing...hands free on the road), Fuel Economy, Drivability, Comfort, Performance...If Ford keeps making good cars like this, I will continue looking to them for my vehicle needs :)

Suggested Improvements

Throttle response is a little sluggish, I would put Auto-Down and Auto-Up on all windows...minor issues really...

2009 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I went from a Ford Explorer, that used to be my daughters but that's another story, to a new 2009 Milan and it has been wonderful. I was worried about the power of the I4, but it has plenty for my taste. After driving the v6 and was certain that the I4 would serve my purpose. I drive it mostly to work, about 10 miles one way, but my wife ownes an Lincoln MKX and we are finding ourselves driving the Milan more and more. Great little BIG car from Ford.

Favorite Features

My Premier has great interior style. I love the power of the I4 along with the gas mileage. The size of the trunk is a plus for trips and the car handles very well.

Suggested Improvements

Don't like the head rests and the fan control for the heater and AC. It would be much better if it was closer to the driver.The fan control, not the head rests. Other than that I love this car. Why don't more people know about this jewel?

drifting

Vehicle

2009 Mercury Milan V6 Premier 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

It feel good but then there was drifting to the right and you had to keep pressure on the steering wheel all the time to stay on the road. they have worked on it and also lied to me what had been done and basically have told me live with it. Some of the work that was done was not told to me and when I question them different stories. the real problem is that they showed me letter that some of Ford and Mecury front wheel drives will drift to the right and states no correction needed. ( my point is that they didn't tell me about any drifting before I purchased this vehicle or I would have got a Chevy. Ford is not up front with there customers.

Favorite Features

Sync, hands free phone. other than the drifting (and dealer lieing to me) seems to be a nice car.

Suggested Improvements

headrest has too much forward angle to it and if person is around 5 foot has to set with head bent over. very uncomfortable. hope they recall them

If I could only give it back

2009 Mercury Milan V6 Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Like a total idiot, I traded in my totally loaded '04 Oldsmobile Aurora to get this car which 'was loaded'; after getting home I begin realizing how there were hardly if any options assumed. I can't stand this car, the way it shifts, the way it drives, I've already put about 13K in mileage on this car as I commute a ton. Seats are extremely uncomfortable, interior design is horrible, turning radius is terrible, when you pop the trunk it doesn't self open. No A/C or heating vents in the rear seats; I can go on and on. LOOK HARD BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CAR; I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED. I tried to give it back within the 3-day period of time; but the dealer wouldn't return my calls on how to.

Favorite Features

The synch and radio is the only features in this car that are satisfactory.

Suggested Improvements

Basically everything.

2009 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Can't understand the bad reviews that the power trains get on these cars. Being a auto mech I was impressed with the power of the 4cyl. The workmanship in this car is perfect and would compare to any higher priced car. This is a great car for the American public and for the price it sure is a buy. Buy Ford Products

Favorite Features

Movable stering wheel and 17" tires for smooth handling

Suggested Improvements

make the owners manual user friendly

2009 Milan is a great value

2009 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I traded in a 2003 Honda Accord EX for my 2009 Milan VOGA. The Milan styling is unique and the VOGA in white suede turns many heads. Many have said they didn't know Mercury made such a nice looking, sporty sedan. I've had many compliments on the looks and the car is just as fun to drive. I was also looking at a Chevy Malibu, but with the incentives and discounts I got more options for less money with the Milan. I have the 4-cly. and I range between 30.4 and 33.6 mpg. and I don't even have 4000 miles on it yet. I'm anxious to see what kind of mileage I get on a trip this weekend. I suspect Ford is going to give the imports some serious competition with this model.

Favorite Features

Leather-heated seats, sirius radio, gas mileage, sporty look and handling.

Suggested Improvements

The headrest should be made to tilt back/forth for comfort, it seems to be set an an akward angle. With the many luxury features that Ford has included on this model, daytime running lights is curiously absent. Too bad.

First American and Automatic a BUY!

Written by: Prof Baldie on 05/12/2009

Vehicle

2009 Mercury Milan V6 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

This is our first American car and first automatic. We considered VW CC, Mazda 6S, Acura TL and Infinity 35. But felt guilty with the recession and auto industry meltdown so decided to give domestic a try. We settled on a Hybrid Fusion and made a deposit but lead time was just too long (our second car had been stolen months earlier) and could wait no longer. Saw the Milan, liked it, did some research and ended up with a Milan Voga with AWD. Wife still misses her fun-to-drive VW Jetta Turbo and Subaru Outback but loves features of Milan AWD Voga. Her biggest complaint is the turning circle, which I hope is improved in the 2010 model.

Favorite Features

Sync, Navigation, Build Quality, Value for the money, Safety features and ratings, maintenance schedule, regular gasoline, trunk volume, folding front seat and rear seat room.

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy could be better -- a Camaro with larger V-6 gets almost 20% better fuel economy. Wheel turning circle is anemic and needs to be improved. Finally, the trunk should pop open when the remote is activated, not simply unlatched. Minor improvements that would make this a perfect buy!

Who Says America can't build a great car

2009 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

Review

This car is superior to my friends Camaries and Accords (all of which have had to go back to the dealer for some issues) - hands down. I don't understand the comments about power and sub-par engines. This car hums along beautifully and I get better fuel economy then the sticker states!! Half the time I can't even tell the engine is running! To summarize - Don't spend more then you have to on a NAME - buy a great car at a great price!!

Favorite Features

RELIABILTY - Style - Price

Suggested Improvements

Better Marketing for this GREAT CAR!!!

2009 Mercury Milan I-4 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I have had my 09 Milan for 3 months. We have taken one long trip in it. The rest of the time has been spent driving within 50 miles of home. Right now I am getting 30.4 mpg with a cruising range of over 500 miles. With employee pricing and rebates, I was able to buy this awesome vehicle for less than $20,000. We live in the country so Sirrus radio is wonderful since we can't always pick up a good radio station.

Favorite Features

Sync, 6 pack CD player, Sirrus radio, back-up sensors (I feel safer with small grandchildren around), heated seats and mirrors and automatic dimming rear view mirror. Also like oil changes every 5000 miles vs 3000 in previous vehicles.

Suggested Improvements

Figure out how to not have to resync phone every time the engine is turned off.
