When I first purchased this car I was initially impressed. It was very comfortable to drive with the seating and easy to get in and out of the car with lots of trunk space. Unfortunately, then the problems started to surface. The paint began to peel off the leading edge of my aluminum hood, the drivers side window goes down when you press the up button, the rear drums are rusting prematurely, and the module that controls my AWD shorted out my control panel! The dealer quoted me $1900 to replace the module and keep my AWD! My first and probably last experience with the Ford brand. BTW, my car has not even reached 100,000 miles. Update7-9-16: On top of losing a couple of the cars best features, this winter my heated seats stopped working and now my a/c needs repair. I also have a groaning noise in the front end that I have not even begun to investigate. To sum up this experience, If you are going to buy a new Ford to drive for a few years, it's probably a good option, if you are looking for a long term commitment, look elsewhere.

About 2 weeks ago i bought a Mercury Montego Luxury AWD i am very happy with my car it has many features that a Lexus ES 330 didn't even have and at about $7,000 dollars cheaper i like the way the car handles and rides its very smooth and quiet and acceleration is good but should be a little bit more powerful due to the cars size i am also glad the Montego has command seating which gives you a much better view of the road and the big side mirrors make it easy for getting in and out of tights spaces and so does the Parking Asst. and i like the black leather interior and the nice Silver Birch Paint Color and in my opinion this car should put Mercury back on track because it ia a wonderful car.

Despite the fact that the original dealer went belly-up last year, we still love our Montego. It's by far the most comfortable vehicle we've ever had - or will have. It has been totally problem free except for a recall to replace the rear disk brakes at no cost to us. We're really saddened to see the Mercury brand go away and would love to find another vehicle that has the tremendously comfortable seating of the Montego.
I still love this car

I purchased this car in 2014 with only 25,000 on it. I have loved this car from the day I got it. The 6 cyl, while not screamingly fast, has good acceleration. Much of this car was designed by Volvo. The handling is phenomenal for a car of his size considering that it isn't a BMW. IT doesn't feel like an old person's car when I'm driving it. It is important to use cruise control on the hi way or you will be doing 85 without knowing it. The seats are very comfortable and when someone gets in the back, they appreciate the great leg room. A small family could live in the trunk. I get 19 mpg city and 28 highway if I keep it to 70 mph. I have owned it for 9 years. It has had little in the way of repairs. Engine, transmission, steering, suspension, and breaks are all good. It is good to have a car this size when needed. My wife has a Civic (wonderful car) but even with the lesser gas mileage, she now wants us to take mine on long trips. I wanted to update my previous review. I am now at 94,000. That is low mileage for a car of this age. I still love this car. I have had no major repairs. The fit and feel are still excellent. I spent a little money having a few minor dents and scrapes that were inflicted by others in parking lots repaired. I still have no intention of getting rid of it any time soon. This is an update for 2023. I just broke 107,000 miles. It still has not needed anything but brakes and tires. I am driving about 15,000 a year now so gas milage has become a consideration . Still doing 19.5 mpg and 27 hi way. I may get a hybrid soon. Whoever buys this from me will be getting a great car at a low price. A little bit about the car's safety. I got caught in a torrential rain storm. The car hydroplaned and I hit a concrete barrier at 55 mph and the hit a guard rail. I am alive and well afterwards. When I looked at the front end I was surprised at how little damage there was. Since the car was 17 years old,, I decided not to fix it. It was a great car till the end. I was planning on keeping it another couple of years.

Can't beat the Mercury Montego. AWD, spacious interior, comfortable, all the bells and whistles, loaded "to the gills" for around $30K. It's the poor man's Audi A8 but Audi doesn't offer 6 years with zero interest loans.
