Too much money for Too little power!

This is a nice car but IT IS PAINFULLY underpowered. It's one thing if the Premier AWD model is under $25,000. It's another when it's close to or over $30,000 fully loaded. For that amount of coin, I should be getting a V-8 with close to 300 hp. Or at least a much more powerful V-6....maybe supercharged. Don't pay $28-30,000 for Premier AWD model. Realistically, it's worth the $24-26,000 range and supply will catchup with demand and resale value WILL plummet. The price won't go down on these but you will be able to get them cheaper with rebates in a few years.

I traded my Lincoln LS in for a roomier car and I got it! It's only 6" longer but has ever so much more room. I went for the Premier AWD because my Lincoln was soooo bad in snow. I got used to all the nice amenities though so I went for it in the Montego. I have not been disappointed and with the CVT transmission, I don't find any lack of power when I need it. So far, I think it's a great car for the money!

This is really a nice car. Moved from a Linclon LS to this. The engine is a little underpowered but this is a very comfortable car to ride in and it has tons of room and lots of leg room. The interior is well appointed. I already have two door dings which may be caused by the increased height of the vehicle, but overall, it is well designed, very comfortable and attractive.

Our quick trip from central California to eastern Arizona put the Montego on its first real test and it passed with flying colors. Cruising at 77 mph we were getting 29.8 mpg; the entire trip through deserts, mountains and cities (over 1600 miles) averaged 25.4. The comfort was more than expected. We have the AWD which proved great during a snow storm in Pinetop/Lakeside. We shopped around before making a decision and we believe so far this was the right decision. Anyone looking for a luxury (?) car without paying into the range of $40-55K should try the Montego. Try the AWD with the CVT transmission......highly recomended!!!!!

I think this car is a truck in disguise because it rides like one it has no powerto get on the highway. the interior is truck like.also a very hard ride not sporty just hard. (truck)Being the owner of a grand marque this car is not even close and cost more to me.
