I am happy with it, but it is now my wife's car. The lack of get up and go after pushing the accelerator just wasn't worth it. I need more power than that, and with it coming with Pirelli Tires and 18" rims, I was deceived at first sight. The Montego is a nice vehicle to look at and is ultra roomy. I've never been in a Ford/Mercury vehicle with this many features for such a low price. The price was obviously put into the interior/exterior over the performance. I was told that the AWD model has even less torque. The wife, who doesn't mind the lack of power, enjoys it though, as will many that don't have a huge need for horsepowers.

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.
Comparison to Aviator

Main reason to switch from the Aviator was to get a high performance car that would get me more miles per gallon. Montego does just that from 10 mph to 21 mph city and 27 mph. Just the way one drives gets that. I did not want to give up many extras but are satisified with what the features have. The seating is quite comofortable and like the way the recliner is at best. Even my gas station asks me where I've been so this definitely was a solid decision I made when selecting the car, also a Ford man. The smoothness with which the car performs is impressive to me. Firm and glides beautifully on the roads. Like the structure and more important the safety devices attached to the car.
Mercury Montego is best in class...

I'm a long-time car enthusiast, reading everything automotive & owning too many cars. For the 1st time ever, I had to buy a car for comfort over sportiness. After 3 mo. of research & test drives, the Montego w/employee discount + $1000 won me over. The "underpowered" blather in reviews is off- base...horsepower ratings are over- emphasized. It's funny, too, that the new SAE methodology for rating HP (stricter w/independent observer req'd) dropped the Camry's base V-6 from 210 to 190 HP, a car often compared to the Montego. Honda didn't rate the Accord V-6, but their other engines that have been rated dropped. I'm getting high 20's for mpg, many compliments, & riding in comfort & style.
