The 2009 Mercury Milan boasts a variety of standard and optional features throughout all trim levels that contribute greatly to the car's appeal. The new Voga Series should please those who want that extra dose of luxury.

Even the base version of the 2009 Mercury Milan "comes nicely equipped," according to Kelley Blue Book, with a "standard six-speaker stereo" and "Securilock passive anti-theft system." MotherProof raves about the Milan; Mercury's "steering-wheel-mounted controls" operate climate controls as well as the typical radio buttons, they report. Edmunds.com is less than enthusiastic about the design of the stereo faceplate, saying that it is “seriously outdated.” but they note, “The standard analog clock mounted high in the center stack adds a touch of class.”

For those who want to pass on the manual controls altogether, Edmunds says that the 2009 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 reports that "SIRIUS Satellite Radio" and "a DVD navigation system lead the options list for 2009," 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 2009 Mercury Milan offers all the requisite features plus a few unique ones that add to the allure of this sedan.

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.
