Mercury Montego Reviews

"The high driving position makes it feel more like an SUV than a car, nice and high up, with wonderful outward vision."

"Voluminous trunk can hold eight full-size golf bags."

"The interior has 107.5 cubic feet of passenger space, which is huge - especially when you consider that the exterior of the car is almost the same size as most of the popular midsize sedans."

"Good balance in turns, with only moderate lean, despite relatively tall body."

"These are good-size cars, with a wheelbase of 112.9 in. and a length of 200.7. But what's more important is the class-leading interior room, that huge trunk and the flexibility of a 60/40 split/folding rear seat."

"We do expect that eventual owners will wish for a little extra midrange torque for passing at highway speeds and climbing grades, particularly when carrying a full load of family members and luggage (we had neither with us during our brief test-drive)."

"...the Montego turned out a bit bland..."

"It's not the car to buy if you're looking for entertainment..."

"Some may find the interior layout a bit bland, but there is something to be said for going the simple route, especially when the controls are large and easy to use."

"Acceleration is adequate and on par with most V6 rivals, despite one of smallest engines in class."

"The car honestly felt like one that would cost in the low- to mid-$30,000s, yet was priced about the same as a Toyota Avalon, one of its closest competitors among the imports."

"The faux wood-grain interior trim looks like it came off a prison lunch tray."
