STYLING | 8 out of 10

sporty midsize family sedan with styling that doesn't get lost in the crowd

Milans have a more upscale look when compared to Fusion and even the premium-midsize Lincoln MKZ
Consumer Guide

The 2009 Mercury Milan features distinct and handsome styling, although some find it a bit too conservative.

Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com generally approve of the exterior styling on the 2009 Mercury Milan. Kelley Blue Book commends the Milan's "clean, modestly-adorned overall appearance" with "body lines that could be called 'chiseled.'" However, some reviewers, such as those at MotherProof, feel that the Milan "lacks some definition and character," Cars.com notes that "signature design cues include a waterfall grille and the use of trim with a satin-aluminum finish" on the exterior of the Mercury Milan. Edmunds adds that this "sporty midsize family sedan with styling that doesn't get lost in the crowd" arrives in "two trim levels: base and Premier." There isn't much stylistic variation between the two versions of the Milan, but the "Milan Premier adds 17-inch alloy wheels," according to Edmunds.

Inside the respectably sculpted sheetmetal that adorns the 2009 Mercury Milan, Cars.com says occupants will find "leather upholstery that is complemented by Satin Metallic or Wales Mahogany wood trim." The styling contributes to the Mercury Milan's luxury ambiance, and ConsumerGuide feels that "Milans have a more upscale look when compared to Fusion and even the premium-midsize Lincoln MKZ." Edmunds writes that the "two-tone cabin" on the 2009 Milan is designed "to appeal to young professionals with an allegiance to Ikea-style furnishings."

Conclusion

The 2009 Mercury Milan’s style won’t win design awards, but it certainly doesn’t get lost in a crowd.

Other Choices:

Like the Mercury Milan, the Nissan Altima comes with a manual transmission option in four-cylinder versions and offers great handling.  It may have a little more room than the Ford but doesn’t offer an all-wheel-drive option. Sedan shoppers that want room and style should check out the new Honda Accord with its sharpened handling and a huge interior. The Toyota Camry is the more conservative choice in this class but also comes with a Hybrid powertrain. The Chrysler Sebring is also a competitor to the Milan; from a distance, the Sebring looks like a worthy rival—and its feature list is better than the Milan's—but its interior is disappointing, and up close, chintzy materials, coarse powertrains, and an unremarkable driving experience leave TheCarConnection.com little to recommend over the well-rounded Milan.
