Review

I had back trouble and was looking for a good mileage car that I could get into. I'm6,1 and 260 lbs so I needed a lot of room. At first I didn't 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!

Favorite Features

Sits up high

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of any

2007 Mercury Montego Premier 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Bought it with 14,000 already on the car. Chose it over Buick Le Sabre/Lucerne and similar Oldsmobile. It has higher seats was easier to get in and out of. Gas mileage seems poor, I never push it hard and never exceed speed limits, but on a trip of 60mph all day I get at best 24mpg. Most driving is in town, so mileage is usually 19mpg. Ride is excellent, visibility is good, I'm very happy I bought it.

Favorite Features

Seat height, comfortable seating, large trunk.

Suggested Improvements

Overhead console blocks rear view mirror somewhat.

2007 Mercury Montego Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl CVT)

Review

This car was my first choice in 2005, and when I was finally was able to upgrade in 2006, I choose the Montego. Although I am leasing this one, I am not sure if I would purchase the "Sable". I don't care for the renaming of the car. Don't know why it had to be changed. "Montego" has a swinging sound and sounds classy and elegant. I find that the features that came standard are great. The price was also great at under 30,000.

Favorite Features

The size, the amount of interior space and the large trunk. The multi CD player, heated seats are really nice espcially when my back is hurting. Rides great in the snow with the AWD and traction control.

Suggested Improvements

Should change the tires from "high performance" to ones that are interchangeable. The cost to replace on the Premier is an average of 160.00 to 200.00 and no milage warranty.It would also be great if the gas milage for the city could be increased to about 21 to 22 miles/gallon. Need less road noise.

Review

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. I'm not your average Mercury buyer as I'm 30 years old. So far I am really happy with the purchase. This car got such negative press since it first launched and I can't understand why? The engine is plenty adequate for every day driving. At 80mph I'm only hitting 2,100 RPM's. 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.

Favorite Features

The car is really comfortable and quiet. I love the interior layout/design and quality of materials. Rides great on the highway and has good handling for a large car. The leather heated seats are great. Also love the 18inch wheels and Pirelli tires. Dark blue pearl exterior color!

Suggested Improvements

I guess that the exterior styling could be improved. Maybe flatten the roof some instead of being so rounded. This would make it look more like an Audi or Volkswagon.

Love My Montego

Review

Bought this car with only 18,000 miles! I just love having factory warranty. I get 29 city and 33 highway, and on one trip that was 4 hours, I got 36 MPG. I even checked it at the pump against what the computer said, and they were both dead on! I live in the great white north, so on the cold mornings, the heated seats are a plus, and I have lots of heat. My last vehicle was a 99 Taurus, and I had to get the heater core flushed every year in order to have heat. My daughter has the same problem with her Taurus of the same year. The moonroof is awsome. I use the vent feature the most and it is open even on the cold mornings on my drive to work. This is an amazing car!

Favorite Features

Heated seats, moonroof, trip computer, CD/MP3 player with awsome sound system. It drives straight and smooth and it's very quiet. Love the looks of the spoked wheels. Cup holders in the doors and rear seat.

Suggested Improvements

Moving the steering wheel closer to the driver. I am very tall and even with the adjustable pedals, the steeering wheel is a long reach for me while having to have the seat back so far. Maybe this has been addressed with the new Sable?

So many problems

Review

I love the car. Bought it as a family car. The warranty expired, the car began having electrical problems with its climate controls and the heating seat. Heating seat will no longer work. Climate control will keep switching from leg, to window, to etc, all by itself. I still love the car. Driving stability on the road is awesome, the car corners very well without wobbling like others. It's also very quiet on the road. I can fit the stroller and groceries into the trunk with more than enough space left over.

Favorite Features

It's very comfortable, very roomy, good features: adjustable pedals and dual climate controls. Fuel economy is surprisingly good for such a heavy car. I get 24mpg on average in the summer, 21-22 in the winter. I don't drive fast. Adjustable steering wheel.

Suggested Improvements

The new version already has a bigger engine. Electrical problems should be looked into. Sunroof is loud compared to VW Passat 04. That was my last vehicle that fell apart after the warranty expired.

Review

Bought car gently used, was like new. No surprise the 6 cyl. isn't 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!

Favorite Features

Driver's seat. Steering wheel controls. Locks and beeper. Also has numerical keypad entry. Very comfortable backseats and large trunk.

Suggested Improvements

Passenger's front seat should go up and down. It is really a high setting seat for some people. All the other adjustments are there, tho.

Love my Montego

Review

Have had my Montego for almost 7 months & bought as certified pre-owned from dealer. This is a terrific car. I have AWD & am getting an avg of 22 MPG 60/40 highway & city. The CVT transmission and engine combination make for a good value with respect to gas consumption. The V-6 is a bit underpowered however. If it were 250-260 horses vs the 205 with the CVT tranny it would be perfect. (Nissan did this with the Murano- why can't you Ford?) It's adequate but you don't get the "jolt" when punching the gas.

Favorite Features

Ergonomics are well placed/thought out, nice job desiners! Love the nav system, radio with Sirius, CD player, leather seats are scrumptious!

Suggested Improvements

More 12 v adapters than just two. (Put one in the trunk. Ssome us want to charge our laptops & be able to leave the car without fearing broken glass & theft!) Move the interior light controls away from the interior "open the trunk" button.
