It’s a lemon

I like the look, the leg room, and all the cup holders, but this car has nickled and dimed me from the start! Issue after issue with this Montego, but still driving it. I have put more money into it than what it’s worth, so driving it awhile yet. A 2006 with 126,000 miles, but have had problems since before 40,000! The acceleration is nothing to brag about either, but keeping it for it’s comfort until i find a good car to trade for.

Great car for family of 5. Lots of room, lots of comfort. Plenty of power. Lots of fun to drive. I love the high set front seats. They're great for short people. The leather interior is wonderful. With all the luxury features this car has, it is really a great value. And it looks great.

This car has a severe transmission problems that the company will not admit. it will not shift properly the engine revs misses slips gears this is a widespread problem and I find it astonishing that every single review is five stars sounds like the fix is in. to rebuild transmission is $4,100. Also the heating cooling system only works on one side that's another $800 to fix. Warning never buy this car model, it has a severe known problem that costs way more to fix than the cars worth

Looks great, many compliments on style and appearance. Drives and handles great, short turning radius, positive steering. 'Sit tall' front seats with excellent visibility. Extra roomy back seat and trunk (two couples or family with luggage should be able to travel together. Neat hooks in trunk to hold grocery bags upright. Side doors close quietly. Audio seat belt reminder.

Ford has come a long way in producing a quality vehicle, owned this mercury from March 2005 never had any problems with it, put almost 17,000 miles on it until I got rid of it November 2005. This was/is HUGE car, lots and lots of room, great features and content. However, the darned thing just could not get out of its own way. Ford made a drastic mistake with the powerplant, it's a shame because otherwise a great vehicle!!!

Great family car

The Mercury Montego is a great family sedan with loads of interior and trunk space. The elevated seating is a very nice feature which is not only comfortable but allows easy entrance and exit from the vehicle. The instrument panel is attractive and functional, and the leather seats have a nice look to them. After the first 13000 miles, we have yet to experience our first problem of any kind. The ride is very comfortable and the handling is very controlled. Mileage seems to be about what they claim for the car which is 21/29mpg. Performance is sufficient for a car this size unless you really need to be the first away from every light. Overall....a great car.

We love our Montego

The Montego we own has such a spacious interior both front and back seats. We also like the fact that it is a little higher than most cars for head room and from the ground. The name of this car should be Comfort. The only negative we have found in the 2-3 months we have owned it is that when you accelerate it is a little noisy. That is saying a lot if that is the only negative we have found so far.
