The 2008 Mercury Milan boasts a variety of standard and optional features throughout both trim levels that contribute greatly to the car's appeal.

Even the base version of the 2008 Mercury Milan "comes nicely equipped," according to Kelley Blue Book, with a "standard six-speaker stereo" and "Securilock passive anti-theft system." Mother Proof raves about the Milan; Mercury's "steering-wheel-mounted controls" operate climate controls as well as the typical radio buttons, they report.

For those who want to pass on the manual controls altogether, Edmunds says that the 2008 Milan Mercury offers Ford's SYNC system, which allows occupants to "operate their cell phones, PDAs, USB storage devices, iPods or other MP3 players using voice commands." Rounding out the options list on the Mercury Milan, Kelley Blue Book writes that "SIRIUS Satellite Radio" and "a DVD navigation system lead the options list for 2008," along with "a power moonroof, leather seating surfaces, [and] heated front seats."

Edmunds also adds that a "sunroof, a rear spoiler, heated front seats and wood-grain interior trim" are available as options on the Milan Mercury.

Conclusion

The 2008 Mercury Milan's SYNC feature is undeniably cool, and the other available options make the Mercury Milan one very attractive sedan.

Other Choices:

    The Nissan Altima comes with a manual transmission option in four-cylinder versions, great handling, and a little more room than the Ford. Car shoppers want style, and the new Honda Accord has newly sharpened handling and a snappy shape, while the Toyota Camry is the more conservative choice in this class.

  1. IF I'm killed !!!!

    I want to tell or hear from anyone who has had a problem with their 2008 Mercury Milan when they accellerated and were not able to stop the vehicle from slowing down.My wife,neice and I were out shopping at a busy mall with a lot of traffic in the area.We were at a stop,she floored the pedal to get out on to the highway in which direction we needed to go.As she reached about 50mph she let off the accellerator and the car would not slow down,she screamed at me that when she was apply the brakes, they were just real hard and would not work.By this time the car was now at 80mph and climbing.The car was wining real bad,and sounded like it couldn't shift into another gear. I finally looked at the up and coming traffic and was about to shift to neutral, the whole time my wife was pressing as hard as she could on the brakes. The car finally slowed down to about 50mph and then shifted into another gear and started acting normal. I've taking the car back to the dealer, which has had it for a week now, and they say that can't find nothing wrong. Can anybody please tell me what to do now,or I will be dead and you can read about me in the newspaper.

    I have a 2006 Milan premier and I love it. Not one problem in two years and 29,000 miles. I get 22 mpg in town and 29 on the highway. Very comfortable and beautiful car
