Review: 2006 Mercury Milan

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
Design is all Mercury executives have to discuss these days. Traditionally, a Mercury was nothing more than a Ford with snazzy trim and additional standard equipment, the epitome of a practice known as brand-engineering. In the 1990s, Mercury executives vowed that products distinctly different from their Ford counterparts would boost sales over the long term, saving the brand from the same fate that ultimately befell now-defunct Plymouth. This strategy cost Ford Motor Company extra development money and resulted in sales flops like the blobby, undersized Villager minivan and that rolling mass of triangles known as the Cougar sport coupe.

The last Cougar was a great handling little car and while it wasnt RWD, It was still a hoot and made a nice noise.

Mercury is about to become Fords main small car mover and thats fine by me.

I'm pissed at mercury since they turned the cougar into a front wheel drive piece of shit and then got rid of it.

I bought the same year, make, model and color as the one tested here and am still driving it with absolutely no complaints in those five-plus years. Highly recommended.

They Said the 2006 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and lincolin Zepher got a poor rating on side crash test and acceptable on front crash test in 2007 after Jan it got a good on front, side , and rollover, also the rear crash test but YOU MUST BUY SIDE AIRBAGS!

i bought one 2 years ago brand new and it is one of the best cars i have ever had! i live in the north and we get alot of snow and i have the 6cyl front wheel drive and i can get through 2 ft drifts like nothing. Also the gas milage is amazing for a v6. I drive 100 miles aday to work and back and i only have 2 fill up once a week. Also very comfortable on long car rides very cozy and warm. I love mine and i think that you should really check into one.

My friend just bought a 2007 Milan with a 4cyl 5spd manual. I borrowed once to go on a long trip I was not impressed at all by the gas mileage very bad for a 4cyl. He told me they been getting 23-24 avrg. I thought something was wrong with the car cuz I was going on the freeway at 70 mphs in 5th gear and the rpm's were over 3,000 that too high. that explains the bad gas mileage. Yeah it's a very snappy motor. Thats too hight of rpm on a freeway.
