Poised to Revitalize the Mercury Brand

2010 Mercury Milan V6 Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Afer driving this highly satisfying Tuxedo Black vehicle for the past month, I am , firmly convinced that it is among the greatest cars I've ever driven. The V6 engine with optional AWD has plenty of power for my daily driving conditions and can pass slow- moving Toyota Priuses with ease. On top of it all, the vehicle's exterior is quite eye-catching; especially after I purchased chrome Milan VOGA appliques, badges, and grille to replace the satin-aluminum accents (which were beautiful as well). The interior is the standard, charocal black. It handles well on both the city and the highway. With all of the added options, I feel like I'm driving a car that rivals most luxury brands.

Favorite Features

The navigation system is definitely among the most intuitive and advanced available on a vehicle today. SYNC handles everything I throw at it. The ambient lighting feature is always a hit with my friends and the 10 GB hard drive used to store music and photos almost eliminates the need for an iPod

Suggested Improvements

My only complaint (and its my fault more than anything else) is that my gas mileage goes to pot when I drive in stop-and-go city situations in Downtown San Diego. However, I think I'm going to be glad I went with AWD when I go to the mountains this winter and the FWDs are sliding on the icy roads.

Quality is back into American cars!

2010 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Review

Always a die-hard Japanese car owner until now. Bought the car based on all the good hype it's cousins, the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKS are getting. This car is amazing. Came with every option imaginable. Everyone taken for a ride is astonished by all the electronic gadgetry. Owned for three weeks and getting 29mpg combo city/hwy so far. Impressed with the peppy 4 cyl and acceleration. The ride is superb and glides over bumps compared to my previous Japanese cars. Cornering is good, too. Steering has a bit too much play, but acceptable. Hey, Guys...Give American cars a chance again! You will be pleasantly surprised.

Favorite Features

The Sync hands-free system, backup camera, blindspot warning system deflecting off sideview mirros, and, of course, the 12-speaker sound system. Puts my buddy's Nissan's Bose system to shame.

Suggested Improvements

Hard plastic edging on front of leather seat corners is too big and presses into back of legs. Agree with other reviewer...fingerprints show up too easily on dash and door panels. Sun visors are a bit too skimpy for a car of this caliber.

2010 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Review

Really like the leather interior and Sync feature. Got the 202a rapid spec and love the backup camera. Traded in a V6 and was a little worried about pick-up/power - but I am quite satisfied with that. Overall very nice car.

Favorite Features

Sync feature and USB port. Love the texture of the leather seats and other materials in the interior.

Suggested Improvements

I find the center stack a little overdone with buttons. Also - my eyes when looking to the front right seem to look straight into the rear view mirror, so I always have to duck to see out - I'm only 5'5".

Milan is better than Accord and Camry

2010 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Review

This is my 2nd Milan Premier (the previous being a V6). I opted for the I4 and am extremely impressed with the 175 HP. This is a great car for the money. I test drove Accord and Camry. America, we have a winner. This car is extremely well appointed. The Tuxedo Black Metallic paint is paired with the standard Camel leather interior. I love the 9 speaker Sony sound system. The MicroSoft Sync is awesome. I am able to listed to my music via an Ipod or thumbdrive (via the USB port). The Milan is very driver friendly.

Favorite Features

I only wish I had opted for the available rear view camera. However, it did come equipped with the Reverse Parking Assist.

Suggested Improvements

I hope Milan continues to kick Accord and Camry a few more rungs down the ladder. I have NO negative comments.

2010 Mercury Milan V6 Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

This is a v6 fwd - not awd. Performance far exceeded expectations. Sync system is very good - hands free phone, and I have a cheap phone. Works with any bluetooth. Very quiet ride, and great stereo. I have auto climate, and fancy sony sound system. Driving in the city (Austin)stop and go at 100 degrees, AC working great - best I've ever had. Manuel shift mode is fun - but harder on mileage than auto. This car begs to accelerate too. Too new for accurate mileage numbers. Have not taken highway trip yet.

Favorite Features

AC, sync system, acceleration, comfortable ride. Great sound system (12 speaker sony option) with 6 month sirius radio.

Suggested Improvements

6 speed automatic tends to hunt around during moderate acceleration to 35.

Exceeded My Expectations

2010 Mercury Milan V6 Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I am extremely impressed with the 2010 Milan 6cycl. The exterior is sharp and the leather seats are as comfortable as sitting in your favorite sofa at home. Acceration is peppy and the brakes and steering are solid. I love the Synch feature - much easier to program and use than the one on my Mazda. My biggest complaint is regarding the size of the buttons on the center console for the radio and A/C - they are too small and too far for easy reach. I have gotten around 25mph on the highway (around 75mph on flat terrain) and around 20 in city driving. This may increase as the engine breaks in better (have around 1,000 miles so far).

Favorite Features

V6 Engine - plenty of "get up and go". Leather seats - almost too comfortable for long drives. Synch - Easy to program, easy to use.

Suggested Improvements

Better ergonomics with the buttons for the A/C and radio on the center console.

Nice Midsize Sedan

2010 Mercury Milan I-4 Premier 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Review

I have been impressed with my purchase of my Milan Premier with the 202a package. It has a dueretic engine that gives the 4 cylinder a boost. The reason I gave it a 9 in performance is due to the noise on a harder accelleration. Build quality I gave a 9 only because fingerprints are more noticeable due to their finish on the dash area. The sound system is top notch and I love the video camera for backing up as well as the blind spot indicator in the sideview mirror. Unless it is extremely windy the ride is quiet. Fun to drive I really could not rate. I have mainly driven in city and have had 27 mpg so far. I'm not a lead foot. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Favorite Features

I love the sync so if I receive a call I do not have to hold a cell phonee and the ipod/usb hook up for music.

Suggested Improvements

I cannot think of any at this point.
