Comfort
Ive owned many different types of cars in my 74 years. The Mercury has rear wheel drive, which I prefer over any front drive. I drive cross country a lot and I need the large trunk. The V8 engine is strong and smooth and gets decent mileage (18 - 25). Handling is very good for such a large car. Turning radius is a bit high (40 ft or so) which occasionaly complicates parking lot maneuvers a bit. Ride is very comfortable but the car is not "wallowy" and handles curves very well. ( I owned an Infinity G35 before - the Mercury doesn't handle as well but I don't need a race car. Couldn't drive like that anyway.) I'm very satisfied with this car. I'm not decrepit but I don't need a BMW.
RADIO ANTENA
MERCURY HAS TAKEN A VERY BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT ALWAYS HAS HAD STYLE (MERCURY OWNER SINCE 1986) AND MADE IT A SECOND CLASS CAR BY PUTTING THAT "CHEAP" ANTENNA ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!!(REAR FENDER) IF IT MUST GO ON THE OUTSIDE MAKE IT A POWER ANTENNA!

miserable owner
This vehicle is 7 months old and I have problems with radiator, all four tires cracked and need replacing, glur trim is coming off of the side of the car. I took out special warranty policy which has not been totally honored by the local dealer. 2 dealers refuse to honor Ford warranty.
