2009 Mercury Milan review: Our expert's take

The Mercury Milan is related to the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ and competes in the midsize sedan category against the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Buick LaCrosse. It's powered by either a 2.3-liter four-cylinder or a 3.0-liter V-6. The four-cylinder model is front-wheel drive only, but the V-6 models can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. The Milan is Mercury's most-affordable model, but is billed by the automaker as upscale and expressive.

Electronic stability control is optional, and there's a new option package for the uplevel Milan Premier trim, called the VOGA series.

Design cues include a waterfall grille and trim with a satin-aluminum finish. The Milan measures 191.4 inches long, 72.2 inches wide and 57.2 inches tall. Compared with its competitors, it is shortest in height. It is longer and wider than the Camry, but smaller in both dimensions than the Accord and LaCrosse.

Keyless entry keypad standard
LED taillights standard
16- and 17-inch wheels
Optional rear spoiler
VOGA models have two unique colors: Tuxedo Black and White Suede

The Milan seats five passengers. Optional leather upholstery is complemented by wood trim. Two-tone leather-trimmed seating surfaces are optional. Also optional is a mood lighting system that illuminates the front and rear footwells and the front cupholders in violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange or red. The trunk can hold 15.8 cubic feet of cargo. Sirius Satellite Radio and a DVD-based navigation system with voice activation are optional. The optional Sync package synchronizes phones and other media devices and allows control of them with voice commands. An upgraded eight-speaker, six-disc audio system, as well as a power moonroof, are also optional. The VOGA series, available on the Premier, consists of Cashmere-colored leather-trimmed seats and door trim inserts, as well as chrome accent finishes in the interior. Standard features in the Milan include:

AM/FM/CD/MP3 six-speaker audio system with auxiliary input jack
Intermittent speed-sensitive windshield wipers
Power windows and locks
Heated side mirrors with security approach lamps
Six-way power driver's seat with manual lumbar
Manual tilt/telescoping steering column
Cruise and audio controls on steering wheel
60/40-split rear seat with pass-thru for long items
Flat-folding front passenger seat

There is a choice between two engines for the Milan.

160-horsepower, 2.3-liter four-cylinder with 156 pounds-feet of torque
221-hp, 3.0-liter V-6 with 205 pounds-feet of torque
Five-speed manual or five-speed automatic with four-cylinder
Six-speed automatic on V-6 models
V-6 models available with all-wheel drive
Four-wheel disc brakes

A reverse-warning system that gives the driver an audible warning is optional, as is electronic stability control. Standard features include:

Side-impact airbags for front seats
Side curtain airbags for both rows
Seat belt pretensioners
Antilock brakes with brake-force distribution

Great Car - Never a Problem

Perfect size for all...stylish and comfortable. Mechanically never a problem. Owned both 2008 and 2009 model years. I would buy again. It's the car I selected, bought for my son for college.
