I bought this car new, and loved the comfortable and roomy interior. It had a lot of "bells and whistles", like seat warmers, moonroof, leather, beeping back bumper, etc... Unfortunately, the exterior quality and engine quality are out of alignment. I've had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Ranging from minor inconveniences such as the trunk latch not working and the brakes needing replaced after 30K miles (covered by manufacturer recall), to major issues like the a/c needing replaced and the transimission failing after only 63K miles. I would warn anyone looking at this vehicle to not let the outside fool you. This is a poorly made Ford.

Car has adequate power.Ride is very comfortable. Gas mileage is very good. Transmission shifts very smoothly. Adjustable pedals are a plus for short drivers. Air bags front,side and side curtain are great safety feature. Large rear view mirrors keep blind spots to a minimum. A fine car around town and on the road.

Just purchased 1 mo ago. Ride very good, quiet With all the cold winter weather it is too soon to appraise gas mileage. In limited short trip city driving averge mpg so far about 16. Acceleration has been more than adequate. Went from van to Montego and am pleased with the driver's seat height and visibity - much better for me than most sedans (too low). Front passenger space seems a bit confining. Leg room in back is excellent.

In past years we have driven Mercury Grand Marque's but more recent we drove a Ford Windstar(2002). It was large and intimidating for the wife so it was traded for the Montego. The Montego has more room than the GM, a little shorter also, and rides great. The gas mileage is "right on the money" what the advertised numbers are. The complaint of being "underpowered" is overstated. We are not buying this vehicle for the "drag-strip" but for comfortable and fairly economical family sedan which it is.

I knew this was the right car for me as soon as I sat down in the driver's seat. The comfort of the seat, the position of the wheel and pedals, the layout of the switches on the steering wheel, the large door mirrors, and the view of the road are all so superior to the competition's product. I've received compliments on the rear seats, too. Even though I have the driver's seat moved back, adults have plenty of foot room. The engine has plenty of power for normal city and freeway driving, and the CVT transmission is so smooth! Handling and braking are exceptional - helped by the large wheels and tires.
