Best Hybrid in the price range
One professional auto reviewer had it right. This is the first hybrid to drive like a regular car. It is also clearly superior to the Ford Fusion Hybrid, Camry Hyrbid, Lexus HS250, Prius, and Altima Hybrid if you compare carefully. I really wanted to like the Lexus, but it was noisy and didn't drive as well as the Milan. The only advantage of the Lexus was the interior leather IMHO. I have a 2004 Mercedes E320 and I replaced a 1998 Infiniti Q45 with the Milan Hybrid. I've had the Milan for about 3 weeks now, and I am pretty satisfied. Averaging over 36 MPG with the A/C running, but have gotten over 46 going to work. As expected, mileage is very dependent on the terrain.
2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid
Ford should have made this car 5 years ago! The 2010 Milan Hybrid is more quiet than Jaguar and is Germanic in road feel and handling. For first 800 miles, we are averaging 37.5 mpg in San Francisco, which is amazing. We find good power on freeways. This car can run in EV mode up to around 45 miles per hour, which is great in slow, heavy urban traffic. Seriously this is a fine 4-door sedan. Mr. Obama should use stimulus funds to put a couple million on the road. So I just hope it does not fall apart like my last Ford.

Concerns due to breakdown
This is a nice car but unfortunately left us stranded after running well when we stopped for a snack. It would not start and gave us various error messages.
Ergonomic Flaw on seating
On my first review I was to hasty to rate the interior design a 10. I have to go back and rate the seating a 4. It is very uncomfortable for petite drivers or passengers if their height is 5'3" or under. Once you are seated into the plush leather seating and settle back you will notice the headrest will push your head forward. Long trips will put you into misery and a maybe even a visit to the chiropractor office. When you try out the seating make sure you are not wearing a winter coat, that's what it takes to keep your head from being pushed forward. I wrote to the Ford / Mercury Customer Service Department explaining what I feel is a flawed design on their leather seating package.
Reformed Honda Owner
I've owned a Mustang, a Taurus, and 5 Honda's (Accords & a CRX). This time I chose the Mercury Milan and I'm glad I did. No Honda ever had the same "substantial" sound I hear when I close the door of my new Milan. I regularly get 38 mph and I tend to accelerate a little rapidly from a complete stop. The fit and finish well exceed my last Honda (2005 Accord. The technology behind the accessories, safety options, and advanced hybrid system have no equal in Honda products. This car could be the start of a new series with Ford Motor products!
