Used 2006 Mercury Montego Sedan Consumer Reviews
Worth Consideration
If you're not hung up on luxury car brand names then the Montego is a great alternative care choice. Roomy, solid feeling ride, good looking (although not in the class of some of the luxury brands), great cabin layout, pretty good stereo system, acceptable accelaration. Lots of bang for the buck! I get a lot of looks when I'm driving this car. I got it in the Merlot color. I switched from a 2003 Acura TL to the Montego. I considered the Avalon, the Azera, the ES330 and the TL, but decided to instead pocket the extra $3,000 to $6,000 those cars would have cost. I just rolled past 1,000 miles and I haven't regretted my choice.
Looks good on paper
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

I Love This Car
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.
Delighted to be driving a Montego again
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.
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.
