Used 2007 Mercury Montego Premier 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Happy
This car was my first choice in 2005, and when I was finally was able to upgrade in 2006, I choose the Montego. Although I am leasing this one, I am not sure if I would purchase the "Sable". I don't care for the renaming of the car. Don't know why it had to be changed. "Montego" has a swinging sound and sounds classy and elegant. I find that the features that came standard are great. The price was also great at under 30,000.
Expectations exceeded
Purchased the car mainly for the Mrs. where safety and comfort were a top priority. It has more than exceeded my expectations. I had a Milan as a loner car for about a week and when I picked up the Montego and drove it home the difference noted in just about every aspect of driving was amazingly better. A day/night difference and an eye opener to the quality built into the Montego. Took the Mrs. about a week to get used the CVT which she now raves about.

More than you expect
I picked the Montego after exhaustive research and trying a number of different new vehicles. We needed a second car after buying the 2007 Acura TL. The Montego, a fully equipped AWD/CVT model with all the bells and whistles, has been superb, and from the standpoint of inital quality upon ownership, completely trouble free, more trouble free than the well regarded Acura TL, which was in the shop more than half the time the first 6 weeks to replace the a/c compressor which failed because someone had neglected to install some required seals during its build. The seating position is outstanding, view in every direction excellent, ride sure footed and stable, and fit and finish first rate.
Love my Montego
Have had my Montego for almost 7 months & bought as certified pre-owned from dealer. This is a terrific car. I have AWD & am getting an avg of 22 MPG 60/40 highway & city. The CVT transmission and engine combination make for a good value with respect to gas consumption. The V-6 is a bit underpowered however. If it were 250-260 horses vs the 205 with the CVT tranny it would be perfect. (Nissan did this with the Murano- why can't you Ford?) It's adequate but you don't get the "jolt" when punching the gas.
Love It
I love my new car. It drives wonderfully. Nice and roomy inside, but doesn't appear too big from the outside.
