2009 Mercury Milan Quality Review

February 21, 2009

COMFORT AND QUALITY | 8 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

plenty of room for all passengers
Edmunds.com

Generous use of soft-touch surfaces and a choice of real metal or wood trim look especially nice
ConsumerGuide

Cargo space is a pain
MotherProof

If you are seeking a sporty, good-looking, and comfortable sedan, the 2009 should be on your list.

The 2009 Mercury Milan seats five comfortably in a cabin that Edmunds says has "plenty of room for all passengers." Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com express appreciation for the space and seating comfort on the Mercury Milan, a sentiment that ConsumerGuide captures by saying that in the Milan, Mercury features "ample leg and head space for six-footers" in the front.

Not all reviewers enjoy the interior seating, however, and Cars.com states that the front seats "aren't especially firm and provide modest support." ConsumerGuide, in contrast, feels that the 2009 Mercury Milan offers "firm, supportive seats" for front occupants and "adult-adequate headroom with good foot space" in the back. The one drawback is in the rear of the Milan; Mercury's seating in back, Kelley Blue Book says, has a center position that’s “a somewhat hard perch with scant headroom." Occupant comfort is enhanced by the Mercury Milan's "generally hushed ride," according to ConsumerGuide.

Cargo space inside the 2009 Mercury Milan is also noteworthy, and Edmunds is surprised to find "an unexpected measure of utility," thanks to the Milan Mercury's "15.8-cubic-foot trunk, split-folding rear seat and fold-down front-passenger seat." Aside from the trunk, ConsumerGuide notes that "cabin storage is good," with MotherProof adding that "the two-tiered center console is perfect for CDs and smaller items." However, when it comes to rear storage, MotherProof disagrees with the reviewers at Edmunds, saying that rear "cargo space is a pain," thanks to the lack of "manual trunk release."

Most reviewers certainly appreciate the use of high-quality materials in the 2009 Milan. Kelley Blue Book approves of "the use of satin aluminum finishes and high-quality materials" throughout the cabin, and ConsumerGuide loves the "soft-touch surfaces" and "real metal or wood trim" that is offered on the Mercury Milan.

Conclusion

The 2009 Mercury Milan offers quality, comfort, and utility in a good looking package.

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.
