This car is a beast. With a V6 engine and soft ride, once you get it going it eats up the road. Fords and Mercuries tend to love non city driving, so if you're forced to use this car in the city or in crowded suburbs, be aware that this isn't this car's strong point. Where you get the most reliability is open road driving, and this car is a warrior in that department. Its soft ride and smooth shifting makes long distance driving a pleasure, and it's super reliable as well. Give her the usual maintenance she will last you a decade or more.

My Mercury Milan rides very smoothly and quietly. It has a nice moon roof that doesn't make it breezy when it is opened, and it allows me to look up at stars or jets flying overhead. The car has good power but not too much muscle to tempt me to speed. It has comfortable interior seats with automatic adjustments that make driving or riding nice. The radio system has good reception and picks up stations clearly. The A/C cools the car down quickly, and the back seats fold forward to allow for longer items to be transported.
