Super styling cues. I love the 17" multi-spoke alloys. Lots of trunk space, especially when you fold flat the back and passenger front seats. Mercury has really raised the bar with quality materials. Love the Microsoft Sync, 6 disc in-dash CD changer, Sirius satellite radio, and all the bells and whistles you would pay extra for in other vehicles in its class.

It has been a year now since I purchased my 09 Milan. I have logged only 4,500 miles to date, and (so far) no major issues. I will say that the transmission labors a bit to shift out of first gear when it is cold outside. But is fine once warmed up.It does get on my nerves a bit. My absolute MAJOR complaint is with the headrests in this car! Almost unbearable! I notice all of the Ford products have adapted to this design.I will not purchase another Ford product next year if they are not changed. Other than the two issues I have stated,the car is very good! Mileage is in the mid 20's per gallon. I rarely use it on long trips due to the uncomfortable headrests! It gives me a pain in the neck!

I picked up my Milan Premier (V-6 FWD) about two weeks ago and cant say enough positive things about it. The ride is very controlled and smooth with just the right amount of steering wheel tension. Turning into a parking space is controlled, easy and tight. I got 24.6 MPG on my first tank of about 65% highway travel. Both interior and exterior fit and finish is excellent. The SYNC voice command system is exceptional. All vehicles should have it to make hands free cell calling mandatory. Its just safer for everyone with your eyes on the road.
Excellent car, exceptional value

I made the mistake of trading my 2010 Milan for a Jeep not long ago. I rectified that error by trading the Jeep back in for an '09 Milan Premier with the 3.0 V6 and six-speed trans. I don't understand some of these reviews, especially the "expert" ones, which complain about the '09 Milan's lack of power and poor fuel mileage. My Milan has outstanding power and mileage, generally around 33 mpg. Like my '10 Milan, it handles and rides like a champ, but it also has more amenities, like heated leather seats and a better sound system. I like the Milan, as well, for its distinctive styling. It is a good deal different from its sister, the Fusion, and over looks like nothing else on the road.

This car is superior to my friends Camaries and Accords (all of which have had to go back to the dealer for some issues) - hands down. I don't understand the comments about power and sub-par engines. This car hums along beautifully and I get better fuel economy then the sticker states!! Half the time I can't even tell the engine is running! To summarize - Don't spend more then you have to on a NAME - buy a great car at a great price!!

After my initial test drive, I immediately knew this was the car for me. I fell in love with how effortless the car was to drive and become comfortable with. I love the way the car feels when you're driving it, although after moving up from a sport coupe (Eclipse GT) it is lacking a little punch. This being my first vehicle in ten years with an automatic transmission it took some getting used to, but with that in addition to the Microsoft Sync it makes driving so much safer. Plus, I find myself looking outside at the car throughout the day admiring its styling...

It is a great all around car. Looks like new. Rides well. Impressive interior. Would prefer more MPG but it is a 6 and not a 4 cylinder.

Well, I turned in the lease of my 06 Lincoln Zephyr and purchased an 09 Milan Base model with auto transmission. A very good basic sedan and the 4 cyl gets great mileage. After driving a fully loaded Lincoln for 3 years it's hard to go to a base model, however, I don't do the driving I used to. The car is fine for what I need, however, the headrests are very uncomfortable! Why they changed them I'll never know! I had no problem with the ones on my Lincoln. Hopefully, I can switch them out! I've had the car for 2 weeks and I still haven't put gas in it! Great basic no frills transportation.

Biggest bang for your buck. What a car. Employing pricing is a give away. Suggest the heated seats as an option. Plays 6 cds full of mp3's, that's at least 600 or more tunes, all info shows on radio panel. The message center is all good info. Once you sync your phone you'll love the option with Microsoft Sync, all info of your phone is displayed on the radio panel, last call, phone book, play your phone MP3's etc. Excepts I-pods, USB port and more. All controls are on steering wheel. The 3.0 engine has been around for a while.

I recently got moved further from home at work making my commute over an hour each way, driving an eight cylinder pick up was not very economical. I was forced into buying a car quickly with out time to research. My father had recently bought a 2008 Murcury sedan, I was amazed I was not familiar with the line of vehicles because it was such a sporty, luxurious ride. When I heard what he paid I was blown away. Needless to say I got lucky he bought that car because he did the research for me. I bought a 2009 Murcury Milan, 4 cyninder for my commute, and all the bells and whistles for the fun. I miss my truck, but unless things change alot I will be a faithfull Murcury owner in the future.
Love it!

I have had my 09 Milan for 3 months. We have taken one long trip in it. The rest of the time has been spent driving within 50 miles of home. Right now I am getting 30.4 mpg with a cruising range of over 500 miles. With employee pricing and rebates, I was able to buy this awesome vehicle for less than $20,000. We live in the country so Sirrus radio is wonderful since we can't always pick up a good radio station.

Like a total idiot, I traded in my totally loaded '04 Oldsmobile Aurora to get this car which 'was loaded'; after getting home I begin realizing how there were hardly if any options assumed. I can't stand this car, the way it shifts, the way it drives, I've already put about 13K in mileage on this car as I commute a ton. Seats are extremely uncomfortable, interior design is horrible, turning radius is terrible, when you pop the trunk it doesn't self open. No A/C or heating vents in the rear seats; I can go on and on. LOOK HARD BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CAR; I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED. I tried to give it back within the 3-day period of time; but the dealer wouldn't return my calls on how to.

Bought this car a few weeks ago. I had been shopping Honda, Hyundai, Ford, etc. This car is great looking and they did a nice job with the interior- love the contrast stitching-leather very rich looking and feels great. Sync takes some time to learn but is great once you learn how to use it. The steering is also great-heavy and accurate. This drives and looks like a much more expensive car. Sticker was 26,620 and I paid 22,900. What a value.

I have owned Lincolns and Mercurys for years. I was introduced to the Milan, and shown a Voga style dressed up Milan. I feel in love with just the white leather seats and all the beautiful stainless trim. This style has all the other so called best sellers put to shame. The car is black with the white leather. A head turner. The Milan is a true performer, highway driving is wonderful, the interior outstanding and comfortable and the V6 engine has a lot of get up and go. This car has already shown 24 and 25 miles per gallon and is not even broke in yet, we are a retired couple and we feel young and classy when we drive it. I'm also blown away with the sound system, sync and satellite radio. Overall the car is superior and outstanding in all aspects.

I have to admit that doubted the commercials claiming that the Milan/Fusion was preferred over the Camry and Accord. Driving is believing. You have to drive one to believe that this car is on par with the Camry and Accord. The Milan is an impressive car. The handling is excellent. Before the snow, I put it through some aggressive winding roads. It hugs the road gives you confidence. We received our first snows of the season here and have had no trouble on the roads. The acceleration is is good. We have about 1000 miles on the car. We average 23-24 MPG in the city. Driving more agressive, the mileage drops to about 21-22 MPG. We haven't driven any highway miles yet.

My wife was just broad-sided by an suv traveling at 30-40 mph. The Milan's side airbags did not deploy. Fortunately,she did not suffer serious injury, but certainly could have in such a serious crash. I would suggest to anyone owning a Milan return to the dealership to have airbag system checked.

Great car, not as quick as the Mustang but has almost as much horse power as my '92 Mustang. Handles very well, build quality is great, terrific in snow. I don't get the love affair with foreign cars. I've yet to be in one that surpasses the quality of this car.

Ride is wonderful, yet still tight & sporty. Power is great with really good mileage for a V6. Interior is classy, yet sporty with Burlwood Dash. Love SYNC, Navigation, Bluetooth Phone & Stereo all working together. Plenty of room for everyone. Best car I've owned to date. FORD Motor Company has been and always will be my CHOICE for a new car. Made 'mostly' in America, but American owned company is the only way to buy!!!!

My wife and I have been looking at different make and models in this size range. We have been toyota owners for the past 30 years and let,s face it the US automakers for a while could not compete for style and reliability with the foriegn makers.Through consumer reports and Edmunds we investigated this model and the Fusion for US models. After test driving we determined the Milan felt more tight and comfortable. Our model has the works as far as options, and everything is easy to reach within the cab.Mercury has hit a home run with this model. Perhaps the near collapse of the domestic market has spurred on this innovation and I beleive FOMOCO has turned the corner on the market.
Love the looks

The style & looks caught my attention right away my previous car was the Buick Lacross. The Milan handles better and rides tighter than the Buick and corners like its on rails but is just as quite on the inside on the highway! The looks are so much nicer than the Accord and Camry!

This is our first American car and first automatic. We considered VW CC, Mazda 6S, Acura TL and Infinity 35. But felt guilty with the recession and auto industry meltdown so decided to give domestic a try. We settled on a Hybrid Fusion and made a deposit but lead time was just too long (our second car had been stolen months earlier) and could wait no longer. Saw the Milan, liked it, did some research and ended up with a Milan Voga with AWD. Wife still misses her fun-to-drive VW Jetta Turbo and Subaru Outback but loves features of Milan AWD Voga. Her biggest complaint is the turning circle, which I hope is improved in the 2010 model.

I was in the market for a used Camry or a new Hyundai when I got tired of the snobby Toyota dealer and the fake, high-pressure Hyundai dealer. I stopped by the Ford dealer and they were awesome; they listened to my needs (a reliable commuter car with good gas mileage and room for 2 teens in the back) and got me into my Milan. It now has 32k miles on it and has been absolutely reliable and still feels like a new car. No rattles or squeaks and not unplanned trips to the dealer. Gas mileage is amazing for this class of car; I get 40 mpg on my way to Phoenix in the morning. The styling is attractive and fresh without being too flashy and it feels like a much more expensive car.

Well, I traded in my '08 Chrysler 300 and wanted something "different". My friends always refer to my car as the old, businessman car; as I'm in my 20's and they only see old, businessmen driving it. Lol. I love it and that is all that matters. Driving is still pretty smooth after a year and don't really have any complaints.
Great car!

After 4000 miles, we are happy with the car. It has all wheel drive, which we need in our area, room for real people in the back seat, which we need, good comfort overall, a smooth ride, plenty of power, and all for a reasonable price.

I traded my 05 Lincoln Town Car for an 09 Milan V6 Premier AWD with the VOGA package. I wasn't sure I'd like a mid- size car after such a huge car, but now I know what the reviewers mean when they talk about handling. This car handles beautifully. I've really tested the AWD this month here in Michigan, as we've gotten a lot of snow and ice, and I haven't gotten stuck yet. My Milan rides very nicely and I love the VOGA interior: camel with black trim with camel stitching.
Love this Car!

Just traded in a 2008 Accord LX, Wanted a fully loaded Fusion or Milan with Navigation. The Ford incentives with $3500 cash back was too good of a deal to pass up.The dealership was fantastic and the buying experience was a pleasure. I wanted the Milan Premier with Navigation,spoiler and rear parking assist with heated seats in Smokestone/Camel, and thats what I got. Love the Sync system and Navigation. The Navigation system was rebated off the sticker $1600 so it only cost about $200.

I traded my Lexus es350 for a new milan. The main reason was price. I opted for the Merc as it addresses a more seasoned buyer (ug..age) over the ford Fusion. Too bad LM does not heavily market this vehicle. It is superior in many ways to the foreign competitors as well as GM. Get the premier edition and the with Microsoft sync. It makes driving fun, as well as a very comfortable and price savvy experience.

I've had my Milan for almost a year now and it's been a great car. Put 11,000 miles on it with not a single issue. Like the looks of the car better than it's Fusion cousin. Mine has the two-tone leather interior, love it. Cleans right up. Has plenty of power for a 4 banger. Sound system is awesome. Controls are easy to use. I just can't say anything bad about it. Just buy one, you won't be disappointed.

I traded in a 2003 Honda Accord EX for my 2009 Milan VOGA. The Milan styling is unique and the VOGA in white suede turns many heads. Many have said they didn't know Mercury made such a nice looking, sporty sedan. I've had many compliments on the looks and the car is just as fun to drive. I was also looking at a Chevy Malibu, but with the incentives and discounts I got more options for less money with the Milan. I have the 4-cly. and I range between 30.4 and 33.6 mpg. and I don't even have 4000 miles on it yet. I'm anxious to see what kind of mileage I get on a trip this weekend. I suspect Ford is going to give the imports some serious competition with this model.

Can't understand the bad reviews that the power trains get on these cars. Being a auto mech I was impressed with the power of the 4cyl. The workmanship in this car is perfect and would compare to any higher priced car. This is a great car for the American public and for the price it sure is a buy. Buy Ford Products

I went from a Ford Explorer, that used to be my daughters but that's another story, to a new 2009 Milan and it has been wonderful. I was worried about the power of the I4, but it has plenty for my taste. After driving the v6 and was certain that the I4 would serve my purpose. I drive it mostly to work, about 10 miles one way, but my wife ownes an Lincoln MKX and we are finding ourselves driving the Milan more and more. Great little BIG car from Ford.

It feel good but then there was drifting to the right and you had to keep pressure on the steering wheel all the time to stay on the road. they have worked on it and also lied to me what had been done and basically have told me live with it. Some of the work that was done was not told to me and when I question them different stories. the real problem is that they showed me letter that some of Ford and Mecury front wheel drives will drift to the right and states no correction needed. ( my point is that they didn't tell me about any drifting before I purchased this vehicle or I would have got a Chevy. Ford is not up front with there customers.
American Car as good as the imports :)

I have owned over 10 vehicles (Taurus, Camry, Scion, Sonata, etc.) and this one is the best. Was planning on purchasing a Camry but the 2009 Milan was too good of a car and too good a value to pass up. Lots of features for the money, great fuel mileage (31 mpg so far), build quality is excellent, it looks classy and its been dead reliable. I drive 50,000 miles a year and am pleased with the comfort level and fun-to-drive of this car. Ford is making good American cars and my Milan is proof :)

I have admired the Milan since the 2006 model hit the streets. And when I decided to sell the 2 cars I had and just have one their was only one I would consider, the Milan Premier. It has everything that a more expensive car has but at a reasonable price. And at the time i had many to chose from. Driving this car is a dream and the looks are fantastic! I still just LOVE to look at it. The ride is so smooth and my fuel economy is better than posted here but I do almost all Highway driving. I did have a minor brake issue from the car sitting on the lot and not driven for an extended period of time but the warranty covered everything. It is my 36th car and my favorite of all!#2a1995camero

We had a Ford Freestyle, I always complained to my wife that she was spending to much in gas. We drove from Dallas TX to New Orleans, last summer with one tank of gas. 490 miles. I had to stop to fill in cause my wife was afraid we ran out of gas otherwise it would reached around 520. It's my wife car, but I love driving it, we average around 26 city and 32 HWY. However since we bought this car my 05 Mercedes is mostly in the Garage, we both like this car. Hopefully FORD will continue building great cars.
Nice Ride!

I've had my Mercury Milan for about a year and a half now. I really enjoy how the car handles and the performance. Haven't had anything replaced that was major. Only a few electronic things got replace, a roof molding and the driver leather seat started to crack. All and all the car is a great buy. I still get people who say that it is a nice looking car. especially with the metallic flakes in the paint!

My 6cyl 2009 Premier has been the best car i've ever owned. Purchased from my best friend's grandma, who only put 9000 miles on it 6 years, I am retiring the car with 232k miles. Purchased in from FL, to CT to CA then back to FL then back to CT and now retiring the car back in FL. She never left me on the side of the road (except when I over-filled a tire and it popped), never broke down anywhere. The major issues with her were steering/suspension related because I drove her very hard so those were more my fault that the car itself. One annoying issue was the constant "low tire pressure" warnings and the cd player was very crappy. The interior is very cheap too. It's definitely a warm weather car, it was the absolute WORST in the snow as it's very low to the ground. Although one time, I took a back road in FL that was very sandy, and actually made it the whole way - trucks were stuck even ! The acceleration is awesome on this car. Quick pick-up. Heavy. Sturdy. Reliable. She lasted longer than my marriage :) They definitely do not make cars like this anymore.

Best AWD sedan on the market

Surprise! The Milan's handling is completely competitive with foreign cars! And the AWD coped easily with our icy winter. Our last 3 cars were Outbacks, but the current version didn't have enough leg room, so we switched to the Milan, which has exactly the room we need. Love the comfort, handling, luxury features for the price. Gas mileage averaging 23-24 overall is disappointing, but the V6 power is fun. The driver's headrest hurt my back by forcing my head to tip forward. I had a local welder change the angle. My wife's headrest didn't bother her, because it's not in the way when the seat is reclined the way she normally has it.
