This is my 9th car and I can say that it it truly the best I've ever owned. The amenities are great, it feels good and I look good in it. It is a joy to pull up in the gas station and someone asks about my car. All my cars have been Ford/Mercury, except for one drastic mistake I made when I was much younger. But since then been grown I stay in the Ford/Mercury line!

So far I have been very pleased with this car. I have read many reviews about the "under-sized" engine being the Achilles heel of the vehicle. This is not an accurate statement. I have had no problems accelerating into highway traffic and certainly no problems accelerating IN highway traffic. Unless you are Mario Andretti or you are going for a new quarter mile record, the engine power is appropriate. This is the most comfortable car I have ever ridden in. The high seating helps prevent your forward view from being totally obstructed by SUVs and small trucks. The car is also very well equipped even at the entry level.
Love my Montego!!

I absolutly love my car! Not only is it comfy but it's roomy too. My boyfriend is 6'1'' and sits comfortably in all the seats. When the car is running you can't even hear the engine (I've tried to start it twice). I bought my car used with a salvaged title since it was totaled once and it still runs great with the original computer and motor still in it. The interior and exterior are durable, I'm accident prone and it stands up against me. The trunk is soo big I never worry about having enough room in it or not. It drives extremly smooth down the road and around curves, it loves the highway and get up to 33mpg, about 21-23 in town. Long car rides are what this is made for, being comfortable in it hour after hour. I love that it tells me when the oil life is low and how many miles I have until E. Plus the self check it does tells you if anything is wrong from fluid levels to the trasmission. This car is PERFECT and I will drive it until it can't drive no more.

I finally got to take a 3000-mile drive through Wa, Idaho, Montana and Oregon with my 2005 Premier AWD. This is a great long-trip car in the Ford tradition. Comfort and 27-mpg over every type of rural and urban terrain with the CVT tranny. The Duratec V-6 performed more than adequately throughout the trip. It's a little slow at the get-go, but is fine at higher speeds, so don't be put off by hot rod auto magazine editors. A very civilized car with great content, quality and comfort for the money. Nothing so wrong with "modern maturity" as one reviewer wrote.
