Used 2007 Mercury Milan Consumer Reviews
An excellent car
I have owned this car for 1 year now. No problems at all. It handles well, is very quiet and comfortable and gets great gas mileage. Had not intended to buy a Mercury but I am very happy I did. It has been a pleasure to own this car in comparison to the troublesome and expensive to own and maintain Volkswagen Passat that it replaced.
Great car!
We were looking for better mpg in our vehicles, but don't like to compromise comfort and options. We found a dealer demo Milan and loved it from the test drive. Great highway mpg 31-35. Love the interior, very roomy and comfortable, and stylish with two-tone leather seats. No problems with this car and it really stands out from the crowd with great exterior styling. 4 cyl. engine has plenty of power for our driving needs. Looks like we will have this car for a long time. Quality and options make this a great value for your money.

Best in Class
Campared to similar vehicles in this class this is the best I've owned for the price. Smooth, quiet, plenty of room, good performance, fit and finish is very good. Great styling inside and out. Great sound and satellite radio is a plus. I'll be driving this for years.
Classy & Comfortable
I purchased my vehicle 2 weeks ago and I have to say, this is indeed the best car I've ever bought! Very Classy, sophisticated, and reliable. I could take a long road trip in this vehicle and be comfortable the entire time. Plenty of power, everything is easily accessible, steering wheel mounted controls are a must! The only thing I would request in future vehicles is the outside temperature reading. Other than that, this car is outstanding!
Smooth
Absolutely satisfied. This car runs so quietly and smooth and it looks good. It is a nice blend of style and performance.
Nice Car
Like the styling, inside and out. Decided to buy it before actually seeing it by reading the reviews. Fun to drive, and the wife really likes it! Got it in red and black leather with the wood simulated dash - the only way to go. Looks great! Price was great. Great power for a 4 cylinder automatic. Contrary to some reviews, the acceleration is quite adequate. Wish it had a garage door opener, an electric passenger seat, a tighter turning circle, and fold away side mirrors. Tough to handle in tight spots when parking. Overall this car is the one of the best kept secrets out there. Don't see very many yet. A great buy and a lot of fun to drive.
Best value for the money
I Bought this car not even knowing what a Milan was. This truly is a great car. After driving a Honda Accord as a rental for a week, the Milan is far superior over the Accord. I love everything about this car. Would advise test driving one if you are in the market for a new car. I got every option and all of it works well as it is intended to.
Really Pleased with new Mercury
About 3 weeks ago i purchased a 2007 Mercury Milan Premier V6 and it is great the quality is very nice inside and out the ride is quiet and smooth the Nav. System is very easy to use and the Sirius Satellite Radio is awsome. The 221HP V6 has great pick up and gets great fuel mileage and the overall style of the car is great looking very sleek and very solid built no gaps in the doors all closed very tight and the rear spoiler looks great and the Dark Blue paint looks great with the big satin Mercury grille and i love the shape and design of the taillights and the L.E.D Lights really set them off. The Mercury Milan is just an overall great car to own i suggest you go and check one out ....
You've gotta drive a Mercury
Watch out Camry and Accord.....This is a super car; a lot more car for the dollar; lots of standard amenities that are extra charges by the Japanese imports.....Buy American......Mercury, you have a winner!
Beats my SanteFe any day - Love it
Just picked up mine yesterday. Fully loaded with navigation system and satellite radio - am really loving it. coming from an suv I am still getting used to driving a car and being down low again. cabin quiet not much road noise. waiting to see what kind of gas mileage I will be getting as most of my daily driving is highway .
I like it
I was skeptical about a 4 cyl. engine in a mid size car, but it really surprised me. The interior room and looks of the Milan along with the standard equipment sold me. With the exception of the Focus and the Sonata, the other cars were several thousand more than the Milan, when comparably equiped. Avg. gas mileage is 21 in town.
Mercury Milan...who knew it was so good?
This car was a real surprise to me. I thought I might lease an MKZ. I drove the MKZ and was impressed. Then I drove the Milan! What a difference! The Milan is a better car for the money. It's equipped with a audiophile system, moonroof, heated seats. All for under 26k. The price point beats Honda and Toyota all to heck!
Excellent Vehicle
I test drove the following vehicles, Hyundai Sonata, Chrysler 300, and a Ford Fusion and none of the cars compared to the Mercury Milan. Great riding car, excellent gas mileage, and great sound system.
Excellent Vehicle
I traded in a 2005 Pontiac G6 for my Milan. Within a week I knew that I had bought the right car. I had test drove a Ford Fusion, Chrylser 300, Dodge Avenger, Dodage Charger, Hyundai Sonota and a Chrysler Sebring and nothing could compare to my Mercury Milan. The audiophile sound system is great. I love the jack for my MP3. Leather seats are so comfortable and I like the power driver seat. It has a a rich looking interior. Gas mileage is fabulous. I would purchase again!
Three Month Report Card
Overall I love it but there are a few quirks: Tires:The Premier tires will cost over $1K to replace (more than my first car). Steering Wheel: I haven't been able to really get comfortable with this one, I think the armrests are too low, which is odd for a telescoping s.w. 2007 model does not have universal garage door. The fuel guage is too small. The parcel shelf is too high, making the rear window too narrow. I would have sacrificed some room in the trunk to increase visibility. The satellite radio text does not scroll, which means you have to constantly push the button to check artist/song. Floor mats seem paper thin. No Glove box or key lights
Wow! Nice Ride
This is definitely a "High End" vehicle. The ride and handling is solid and sporty. The V6 has all the power one can expect, it does the job. The interior is well designed and laidout, no clutter. The rear seating is made for adults, 2 comfortably. The truck is a "3 Body" truck, and with the fold-down rear seats you got all the room you need short of needing a pickup truck bed. The exterior is clean and sporty with wheels that setoff the styling.
Very Impressed so far
After my last car which I couldn't wait to buy, and then couldn't wait to get rid of, I wanted a car that I didn't care much about. I never gave Milan any consideration, but saw this one and liked it. It has only been a month but it grows on me each time I drive it. The quality of it is as good or better than the Passat it replaced. It rides very smoothly and handles nicely. The steering is not overly assisted. The leather interior is beautiful and very comfortable. The exterior design is very good looking as well. It definitely looks more expensive. I'm not sure why you don't see more of these on the road, but it is nice to stand out in a crowd of Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans.
Bought for work car, but....
I bought this car to drive back and forth to work....appx. 35000 miles per year. I was not expecting much for the price but I have ended up liking this car more than 2 others that cost $65,000 and the other well...over $65,000. The car runs, drives, and handles great. Great sound system (pioneer with GPS). Very tight steering and handling. Ride..very good, however I do have one issue related to this. Being front wheel drive normally would not be a hit with me but I actually like it in this car. In short I love this car. It is far beyond what I expected. I will go as far as to say it is one of the best cars I have ever owned.....and aside from my school years, the cheapest!
Had to be a 5-speed manual
So far, I am very pleased with my Milan Premier. The Milan is a best-kept secret. I had picked out an Alloy Fusion SEL but just couldn't go through with it. Odd- looking fog lights. So, I located a black/black Premier about 100 miles away, brought the print-out to my local dealership, and they arranged to have it delivered. During my first day, I continued to hear conflicting info RE: outside temp display. I called the service dept, and they told me where it was. Press EXT on the auto climate center. The gas mileage has inceased to 24 after 600 miles and is continuing to improve.
Nice little car
I was researching the Ford Fusion when I took the Milan for a test drive and liked it so much better. It's a fun little car to drive. I've always had a V6 so the revving of the smaller engine is taking some getting used to, but it holds the road good and drives easy once it reaches steady speed. It's great in the rain compared to what I had before. So far I'm getting 28 MPG highway, but it's steadily climbing.
2007 Mercury Milan
Car lacks good acceleration with any of the engines available. It is still a fun car to own and drive, however.
Nice car to own!
I love this car! I choose the V6 Premier over the I-4 because of the engine power. This car can really get up and go on the highway. The only thing that I miss about my old car (Toyota Corolla) is the fuel economy.
2007 Milan w/appearance
So far this has been an outstanding vehicle. Driving a rare 5 speed manual tranny is a real treat, the clutch takeup is as smooth as silk and the tranny shifter is just as smooth. The fuel economy so far is as good or better than the 2002 Focus I traded in on this vehicle. The audiophile sound system is excellent. The car is very comfortable around town and on long highway trips. I would most definitely recommend this car to a prospective buyer.
My second Milan
This is my second Milan. I put 60,000 on my 06 and the only thing I had to do was change the oil every 3,000 miles. My 07 is now 10 months old and has 37,000 miles on it and again, only oil changes. I spend at least 5 hours a day in the saddle and could not ask for a more comfortable car. Not sure if I should change with this kind of luck but I may try the CTS next.
My first American sedan is impressive
I've always owned Japanese sedans - Datsun (now Nissan), Mazda Protege, and Toyota Camry - because of their great reputation. I've now found an American car that can compete with the best of them. The Milan is attractive in the cabin and even more so on the exterior, roomy and comfortable in the front and rear seats, and quiet except upon heavy acceleration. It handles nimbly and stably around curves. Brake performance is outstanding. The Milan is far superior to my Camry in these 2 respects. The trunk is spacious for a midsize car. So far, the reliability has been impressive except as noted below. Overall the car is a real pleasure to drive.
Never a regret!
I was going to settle for another new economy car when after doing some research, I found this 2007 Milan I-4 Premier for sale. Am I glad I found it! The ride is superb along with all the extras I never could have afforded with a new Milan or had with an economy model. The gas mileage is lower than I'm used to, but considering all the perks I have now, I am glad I treated myself to this classy car. I heartily recommend it to those who want a step up from economy cars without spending big bucks to do so!
Shocked
I was searching out a new car and tried Altimas, Accords, Auras along with a few others. I never really considered trying a Milan because I've never been a real big fan of Mercury. I was blown away after stumbling on a used one at one of the dealerships. I went out the next day and bought one and have no regret. I don't know what these stupid editors or "car experts" get their info from, but this is a great car. I have the I4 premier and have no complaints. It gets great gas mileage, has a terrific interior and the class and style is top of the line. I would highly recommend this car to anyone.
3 Month Followup
Well. It has been 3 months since I purchased my Milan and I still love it. Along with all the features I noted in a previous post I finally got to drive it in the snow and wow! What a great ride. Traction is unbelievable even on ice. I am very impressed with this new development along with handling on icy roads. I now have no regrets for not getting the AWD model.
Love this car
I never thought that I would see myself at 27 in a Mercury. I went to the dealership to buy a Lincoln MKZ, and drove off very happy in the Mercury! The Premier Package is wonderful! I have owned 9 new cars in the last 10 years, and have not been satisfied with any of them. All ranging from Pontiac to Toyota. The Mercury is the first car that I can actually say, I love this car! I am very picky when it comes cars, and this car exceeds my expectations! I know it will keep me happy for many years. I would recommend this car to anyone! It handles great at all speeds, smooth & quiet, and very quick to respond. With the V6,you get power quickly & quietly! I have to say Ford's quality is back!
Best bang for the buck
I decided it was time to get out my SUV and look for a more fuel efficient vehicle. I looked at several makes and models and thought the Milan was the best bang for the $$
Great Little Car
I'm used to driving a luxury car but due to change in lifestyles I had to downsize. The Mercury Milan is a great vehicle to drive with just enough bells & whistles to make it comfortable. It has a large trunk that opens into the backseat so I could haul things. Nice leg room and rides smoothly. Would like to have more pick-up when passing but it does the job for a 4cyl. Sweet little car.
Great value, great car
After owning two Nissan Maximas in a row, their size and price had balooned beyond my needs. I never thought about Mercury until I did my homework and test drove the Milan. Handling is competent and accurate, ride is very comfortable but not sloppy and cabin noise is nill. The 6 cyl engine mates well with the 6 speed automatic. To my ear it produces a better note than the CVTs in Nissans, etc. Fit and finish are outstanding. For some reason this car looks best in dark colors. So far,after ten months, no repairs or problems.
Very satified
Having owned Ford Tarus before I decided to try a Mercury. The V-6 has plenty of power and when you want to get going at Interstate speeds just kick it and the motor answers back. The ride is excellent. Seats are very comfortable. The exterior appearance has a very sporty look. This Mercury is not your Father's Mmercury. I love just driving the car each and every time I set behind the wheel. The V-6 24 valve engine is very lively. What a fun car.
The Great One
The Milan has to be the best car for the money. Ford really got this one right. The ride, looks and performance are all better than expectations. My wife and I looked at the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai something or other and the Buicks. Not one of them came close to what we got with the Milan. You must drive this car before you make a decision about any other car. Get the V6 Premier. You will not regret it.
Pure heaven to drive
I looked at Toyota, Mazda, Chevrolet, Kia, Hyundai. Then I saw the MILAN. Wow, what a beauty. I got off work one afternoon. Someone told me to go out and get a new car. I saw it, drove it it was perfect. Turns on a dime. What get up and go too. Gas mileage is wonderful. Auto door locks are great what a safety feature. Three cheers for Ford Motor Company for this headturner. Watch out Toyota. The MILAN will leave the Camry in the dust.
You've gotta drive a Mercury
I chose Milan Premier V6 in Silver Birch Metallic with the Stone Interior. The contrast stitching adds a unique, distinctive touch. Like all of the standard features that would cost much more on Toyota or Honda. It's comfortable, sport and fun to drive. I especially the the 3.0L Duratec V6 engine. Mercury has a winner. Drive the rest, then drive the best.
Love My New Car
I just got my Milan. I chose the Milan hands down over the Chrysler Sebring. The Milan offers so much more for the money. I love the interior (I don't even have the fully loaded model) and am completely satisfied with the comfort. The only complaint I have is the gas mileage isn't spectacular for a 4-cylinder automatic. I am hoping it gets better once the car is broken in.
Milan
This car is awesome. I love it. I'd recommend it to anyone. The styling turns heads and it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is when its rolling down the road.
It is fun to drive not just a ride!
Although I only have 1000 miles and have owned the Milan for only a month, I am completly satisfied. What a fun car to drive here in the hills of Western Mass on our rural roads. I like the economy of the four cylinder with a five speed stick, but the real pleasure is it is fun to drive. The Premier with leather and moon roof gives it a touch of class over the cheap interior of similar priced imports
First car
This car has been absolutely great so far. My mother and I were on out way to make a deal on a Ford Fusion and we saw the Milan. We fell in love. It has the same basic design on the inside but the exterior is much more classy. I don't know much about cars seeing as how it is my first but my car enthusiast boyfriend tells me it was a great buy. It picks up fast (V6) and is great for merging on the freeway. I've had no regrets so far. Everyone is fighting over who gets to drive my car.
Love this Car
The car is exceptionally sytled and extremely eye catching inside and out. The I-4 engine is definitely willing to rev and delivers fun to drive performance while delivering very high fuel ecomonmy. I have been averaging 26.5 miles per gallon on mostly city driving with a very heavy foot. The car handling and ride are perhaps the best part. Very tight and very confindent. Feels like a much higher end sportier ride. I would reccomend this car to anyone who is looking for a high quality great looking car that mixes practicality with good driving dynamics.
Horrible in bad weather
It only handles good on dry pavement it's horrible in rain and snow and it doesn't go right away when you step on the gas theses like a delay I've never seen anything like it
