I like the size at 200" it fits into the garage much better than my F150. The ride is smooth but not at Cadilac standards. The sound system is good but could use a sub-woofer -- and an amp. Watch out of large bumps and dips. The wheele travel is short and bottoms out quickly. The seats offer good support but are by no means sport buckets -- more for comfort which they do very well.

2005 Mercury Montego Review

I enjoy my 2005 Montego. The vehicle is very roomy and storage space is more than adequate. Gas mileage is good, the ride is firm yet comfortable and responsive, and construction quality is above average. Two problems encountered to date have been one failure to start immediately which self-corrected and has not been experienced since it occurred and acceleration from a "dead" stop is, in my opinion, below average. Also, the recall concerning the straps holding the gas tank was disturbing but was handled quickly and professionally. Overall, I rate the vehicle above- average and would consider buying another.

Excellent handling on slick roads. Braking very good. Has plenty of power for passing. CVT provides smooth acceleration. Very good view of outside.

After my children grew up and after driving several vans for 22 years, I finally have a car that I can call my own. I enjoy the features, the controls on the steering wheel, automatic/dual heating/cooling system, the 6 CD changer, etc. So far the mileage in town has been 23+, much better than my vans. The ride and handling is comfortable and smooth. I especially picked this car because of its volvo design and engineering, especially the safety features and elevated seating. I just wish it had side curtain/side impact airbags as a standard feature. I think american automakers are missing the boat, not including these features.

I am so glad that I chose the right car. I looked at several cars and did not like them. When I saw Silver Montego I fell in love with it and bought it right away. Still happy with it. It's 10 in rating.
