Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Roomy passenger cabin, nimble handling and comfortable ride, all-wheel-drive option, respectable fuel economy with four-cylinder engine.
Cons
- Four-cylinder engine sounds unrefined under harsh acceleration, electric power steering doesn't offer much feedback, button-happy dash.
What’s new
For its final model year, the 2011 Mercury Milan adds one-touch power front windows and integrated spotter mirrors to the standard equipment list. New options include rain-sensing windshield wipers, HD radio and an Appearance package featuring 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and a rear spoiler. The available voice-operated Sync system also boasts a new Traffic, Directions and Information service. The fold-flat front passenger seat has been dropped, and the optional Sony audio system now has a single-CD player in place of last year's six-disc changer.
Edmunds says
The 2011 Mercury Milan offers a combination of style, comfort and drivability that make it surprisingly competitive in the crowded midsize sedan segment.

Vehicle overview
The last decade has seen the demise of one venerable automotive brand after another. Ford's midrange Mercury brand is about to join that list, which unfortunately means the 2011 Mercury Milan sedan's days are numbered.
We say unfortunately because the midsize Milan has a lot to offer buyers looking for an upscale, right-sized four-door. Like its near identical twin, the Ford Fusion, the Milan got a big makeover last year that included a stylish new exterior, an updated passenger cabin and more powerful and fuel-efficient engines to make it one of the most well-rounded entries in the highly competitive midsize sedan category.
Adding to the Milan's appeal for its final model year are a number of incremental improvements, including outside wide-angle spotter mirrors, available rain-sensing windshield wipers, an HD radio option and a so-called Appearance package that bundles 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and a rear spoiler. The available voice-activated Sync system also gets a new Traffic, Directions and Information service that can deliver everything from real-time traffic reports and turn-by-turn driving directions to info on local businesses, news headlines and even daily horoscopes.
While the Milan has much to recommend it, it does have a couple of minor flaws. The four-cylinder engine in the base model sounds a bit unrefined under hard acceleration and the electric power steering feels vaguely disconnected, though these faults are not exactly uncommon for cars in this segment. Certainly, you'll also want to check out other top sedans like the 2011 Honda Accord, 2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2011 Mazda 6 and 2011 Nissan Altima. But deals will likely be strong as Mercury approaches its end; going with the often overlooked Milan would be a very smart choice.
Performance & mpg
The 2011 Mercury Milan comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual is standard on base Milans, while a six-speed automatic is optional on the base car and standard on the Premier. This engine is available only with front-wheel drive. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 22 mpg city/31 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined with the automatic.
Optional on the Premier is a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 240 hp and 223 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic are standard, but all-wheel drive is optional. In performance testing, we found the Milan's Ford Fusion twin with the 3.0-liter engine went from zero to 60 mph in a mediocre 7.3 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 22/29/24 with front-wheel drive.
Safety
Antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags are standard on all Milan models. In government crash testing, the Milan earned a top five-star rating for its protection of front occupants in head-on collisions. In the side-impact test, the 2011 Mercury Milan earned five stars for front passengers and four stars for those in the rear. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the Milan earned a top rating of "Good" in both the frontal-offset and side-impact tests.
Driving
Though it might be easy to write the 2011 Mercury Milan off as just another wallflower family sedan, this upscale midsize sedan is actually surprisingly enjoyable to drive. The engines aren't especially energetic compared to competitors, but the suspension provides above-average handling with little body roll in turns, while still managing to provide a comfortable ride quality. The only significant downsides, in fact, are the harsh sounds produced by the four-cylinder under aggressive acceleration and the electric power steering that feels a bit too light and numb.
Interior
Of all the Milan's good qualities, the passenger cabin stands out as worthy of special mention. The overall look is attractive, and the use of soft-touch materials gives it a distinctly classy appearance. Though it's not the largest model in either the Mercury lineup or the family sedan segment, the interior feels roomy and seats four adults comfortably. In back, a relatively large trunk offers 16.5 cubic feet of cargo room, which is made more useful by the 60/40-split-folding rear seatbacks. Unfortunately the fold-flat front passenger seat that allowed owners to carry extra-long items with the trunk lid closed has been dropped.
Though the dash layout seems to have a lot of buttons, everything works pretty intuitively. The ability to control your cell phone and MP3 player hands-free via the Sync system is a definite plus for folks who spend lots of time in their cars. Sync's new Traffic, Directions and Information service -- which is free for the first three years -- just makes it that much more handy.
2011 Mercury Milan models
The 2011 Mercury Milan is a midsize sedan available in base or Premier trims. The base comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry (via either the key fob or an external security keypad), cruise control, air-conditioning, an eight-way power driver seat, 60/40-split rear seats, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with auxiliary controls, and a six-speaker stereo with a CD player, satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack. The Sun & Sync package adds a sunroof, auto-dimming mirror and Sync (available separately), which includes iPod integration, Bluetooth and three years of Traffic, Directions and Information services.
The Premier adds 17-inch alloys, foglamps, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone automatic climate control, power heated front seats, leather upholstery, unique interior trim and Sync. The Premier's Driver's Vision package adds a blind-spot warning system, rearview camera and rain-sensing wipers. The Moon & Tune package adds a sunroof and 12-speaker Sony surround-sound system. The Appearance package is actually much more, with 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, unique exterior trim and leather upholstery. Parking sensors are optional on both trims.

Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
Ownership feedback highlights the Mercury Milan's impressive blend of comfort, reliability, and fuel efficiency. Drivers consistently praise the interior's roomy and luxurious feel, often pointing to the quality of the leather seats and the thoughtful design of the cabin. Many find the Milan's quiet ride and supple handling make long drives more enjoyable and less fatiguing. The Sync system, despite occasional quirks, stands out as a favorite feature, allowing seamless hands-free control for music and phone integration. Fuel economy is another commonly noted strength, with several owners reporting surprisingly good mileage even in city driving conditions. The sleek styling and appealing aesthetics, both inside and out, contribute significantly to the Milan's appeal, as many appreciate its unique presence among more common models. Safety features also receive acknowledgment, with elements like the blind-spot detection and rearview camera adding assurance to daily commutes.
Common Issues
Drivers of the Mercury Milan frequently report issues with the vehicle's power steering and transmission, which can lead to costly repairs. Owners have experienced the power steering going out multiple times, making driving both difficult and potentially hazardous. The transmission is another sore spot, with some reports of shifting problems that required extensive service visits to rectify. Visibility concerns arise due to the sedan's design, prompting many to suggest that a backup camera and blind-spot monitoring are essential features to mitigate blind spots. Furthermore, the placement of temperature controls has been criticized for being awkward and hard to reach, posing a distraction risk during operation. Another frustration is the susceptibility of the aluminum wheels to air leaks, necessitating seasonal attention to avoid frequent tire inflation. Some have also encountered body rusting issues attributed to design flaws that allow water and road salt accumulation, particularly impacting the durability of the rear quarter panels.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
Everyday drivers of the Mercury Milan often appreciate the sedan's comfortable and quiet ride, which enhances daily commutes and longer trips alike. Despite some mechanical hiccups, many find the Milan to be reliable when routine maintenance is upheld, particularly with the four-cylinder model. The car's practicality shines through in its ample trunk space and supportive seating, making it well-suited for family use or travel. Users rave about the Sync system for keeping them connected, and they enjoy its ability to provide hands-free operation, although occasional updates or fixes might be necessary. While some detractors mention the sluggishness of the power steering and transmission issues, other drivers find the handling satisfactory, especially in urban settings. The understated exterior styling appeals to those who appreciate elegance over flash, giving owners a sense of exclusivity, given the scarcity of Milans on the road. Additionally, the value proposition of the Milan tends to surprise new owners, who often express satisfaction in finding a car that exceeds their expectations in features and comfort.

2010 Mercury Milan Premier 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Was leaning heavily toward Fusion but went for the Milan because I liked the exterior styling better. I've read the other reviews and it's all subjective, but imo this is a great car. The leather seats are probably the most comfortable bucket seats I've ever sat in, and with 8-way adjustable seats plus tilt and tele steering wheel, there should be a comfy seating position for everyone. … The lumbar support helps a lot too. Mpg is good, I get around 28 in combo city-highway driving. Build quality appears good. Very quiet at 70 mph, zero wind noise with the windows up. A little more road noise than I would like, but not a major problem. A few minor gripes (see below) but I'd buy this car again.

2010 Mercury Milan Premier 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I have the 2010 base automatic (there was no option to select this on Edmunds).
Bought the car used with 26K miles. Came with a nice sunroof, leather wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, SYNC..etc.
It's nice and comfortable to drive.
Quiet, great mileage, good power for a 4cyl, very nice cloth seats.
I really enjoy this car.
Handles well too but if you're looking for a sports sedan, I … wouldn't go that far.
Just a really nice car in my opinion.
A steal for the price used.
Feels/looks like a classy ride.

2010 Mercury Milan Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Fully agree with hsmith1. This LED lamp fault looks like becoming an epidemic, and is a safety concern.
I would urge all to contact Ford 1 800 392 3673 +1 +5 to lodge your complaint.
Also fill out the complaint form with NHTSA http://www.nhtsa.gov/
Until we push, Ford will not acknowledge !
Update: Well, they acknowledged! Ford replaced the lights at no cost to us.

2010 Mercury Milan Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Bought the V6 all wheel drive for wife. Perfect size for her and bought the Milan instead of the Fusion because Mercury is going out and got $4500 off sticker. Will always get parts for it but did not really think about my resale value since Mercury will be no more.
