Mercury Montego for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Spacious cabin, huge trunk, smooth ride quality, available all-wheel drive, plenty of safety features.

Cons

Mediocre engine performance, some low-grade interior materials, no stability control.

What’s new

The Montego is an all-new premium family sedan built on the Volvo S80 platform. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available.

Edmunds says

Roomy, stylish and practical, the Montego is well suited for family duty, but with its mediocre engine performance and interior materials, it's simply one of many solid choices in the under-$30,000 price bracket.

2005 Mercury Montego Premier AWD 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl CVT)

This is probably the last car I'll ever need to buy. I like everything about it. I've had dozens of cars and trucks before. This one's a keeper. It's comfortable and fun to drive. I've found the 3.0 liter to have plenty enough power for my needs and the gas mileage is amazing for this class of vehicle. Average 23-24 local driving and on a long trip using cruise control this thing jumps …

2005 Mercury Montego Premier Fwd 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

I bought my 2005 in 2009, it had 48K miles and had been a one owner car. It now has 162,000 and I took it to a shop to go through it front to back, to let me know their thoughts on if I should keep it or sell it. I like the car SO much, I am going to spend about $3,000 on it to make it "new" again. I have searched and searched for a car that I would like equally well, both new and …
