I started shopping for a Ford Fusion. I wanted a Merlot Red with a Black Leather interior, and there were only 2 of that combination located in Florida- an I4 in Tampa and a V6 in Homestead.

So while I was figuring out if I wanted to buy a car unseen, I decided to look at the Milan. I always looked at Mercury products as an old man's car, but the Milan changed my mind, and the V6 Premier was competitive with the Fusion SEL.

While at the dealership, I came across a brand new 2006 Mercury Milan leftover so right away, I saw dollar signs in my favor- especially as the last 2006 on the lot of all the car lines..

2006 Mercury Milan V6 Premier with Safety and Comfort packages.
$20,500 + taxes, reg, and $499 dealer fee. Sticker was $25,995.

Love the car, but only getting 20 MPG after first 1200 miles. Hoped to get better mileage, but I love driving the car!

I hope you enjoy your new car. The Milan shouldn't be competitive with the fusion. It is a step up in the quality of materials. So, it should be better.

Just bought in April....07 Milan Premier AWD V6 paid $22500 stickered for something like 25,500

Paid 27,000 for my AWD Premier 2007 v6. Sticker price 29,500Loaded with navigation system, satelllite radio, power moon roof, heated leather seats, auto climate control everything buy the kitchen sink and daytime running lights. Picked it up 3/24 couldn't pass up ths 2.9 financing. White with tan interior. Info says I am getting 20.4 mpg at this point. I do mostly highway driving probably about 80-20 (80 hwy 20 local ) really love it I have had people stop me to admire it. parked next to my bosses lexuses350 it looks every bit as nice if not nicer that the lexus in style Edited by: sbrandon

I got the V4 Milan 2007 and paid $19.9K I LOVE the car! Loaded with all the extras.. MP3 player radio and 6 month Satellite!
Really good on gas and peppy for a 4 cyl.

This is my first FoMoCo purchase in 21 years. Previously, I bought an off-lease 1984 Mercury Topaz in June, 1986. Fortunately, I was able to return the vehicle under New York State's lemon law.


Just about a month ago, I bought a 2007 Mercury Milan Premier I4 with the 5-speed manual, heated leather seats, power moonroof, and Sirius satellite radio. It is black/black. I walked into the dealership with a printout of the car that I wanted (approximately 100 miles away). The salesman took my printout (I kept a copy for myself) and checked to see if it was available. It was!


We then discussed price. The sticker was $22695. He subtracted $750 which was the Ford division rebate amount; the Mercury discount/rebate at the time was $195 (why even bother?). He offered Ford Motor Credit with 2.9 financing (60 months) and the deal was done.


So far, so good. I am angry with DaimlerChrysler for dropping virtually all manual transmissions in lieu of CVT's. Other than FoMoCo, my options were limited to Honda Accord EX-L and Toyota Camry SE (if purchased in the southeast). These were more money and didn't offer fog lights with the manual.


One gripe that I have with the Milan is that the navigation system wasn't available with the manual (same with Fusion; but is with theMazda6). I've heard that it will be available in this combo for '08).

that is HORRIBLE mileage, why would you waste your money on such a thing? i get over 23 driving in the mountains at home and over 26 hwy. and i actually have interior space and a trunk, unlike you.

Mileage is now 19/25. I'm happy with that.


Tell us what you're driving at 23/26. It's easy to throw stones, but if you're driving an '86 Escort, I'd rather have the V6 power.


I don't know what you're talking about with regards to space. The trunk holds 3 large suitcases, and my 6'3" son sits in the back all the time with headroom to spare.


Did you come here just to start trouble?

I don't even understand why Ford made the Fusion when for a few extra thousand you can get a much nicer vehicle. I suppose if money was tight and you really wanted that style of vehicle, it would be more sensible to get the fusion. For me though, if money wasn't an issue I would go for the Milan or the MKZ without doubt, the Fusion wouldn't even be an option.

I got the 2006 milan i4 5 speed and i get 34mpg. I realy like the car. I hit some deer with it $8650 damage and they fixed it.

I have only made two payments on mine so far and got it back in June of 08. I too was looking for a Ford Fusion until I seen these Milan''s and fell in love with them.


I bought a 2008 Black Milan Premier V6 that has everything except the blue lights inside the dash (or wherever they are) and the spoiler (I liked the looks better without one). No nav as I had a portable nav. Mine is Black w/Black Leather seats w/Stone leather inserts and Stone stitching. It is beautiful. I paid $21,400 out the door. Dont regret it one bit. I get about 18.8mpg on average as I generally only drive in town. My 06 Pontiac G6 got about 20-23 in town. I get over 30 on the Interstate. There was only one car with my color combo found in Alabama and they had to go from Birmingham to Muscle Shoals (very extreme NW Bama) to get it. I think I got a great price and love it!

Yep my best friend owns a 2008 Fusion loaded like my Milan is and he was mad after seeing the inside of my car compared to his. I''m disabled and have spinal and back problems so the heated seats are a plus too! The seats are some of the most comfortable ones made (in all 3 cars IMO). I wished I could have afforded the MKZ as they are the badass cars. THX sound and better looking front and rear ends IMO.


But yes why buy the Fusion when for the same price (atleast here they are) you can get a loaded Milan Premier V6 for the same price of a loaded out Fusion and the Milan puts it to shame in terms of quality interior IMHO.

Hey guys! I just bought an '09 Milan I4 Premier and it is amazing. Only paid $16,995 with 19,000 miles on it. Not a thing wrong with it. I was a fleet vehicle and maintained extremely well...not a chip ding scratch mark or speck on it (exterior or interior). Will have to say was a little cautious of it at first because I was a truck man...but decided to go on a whim and just test drive...and the second I came back with it I knew I had to have it. My girlfriend especially loves the heated seats (wisconsin) and the sunroof. So glad went with this purchase. I am averaging about 25 mpg overall with highway getting around 30-35ish.
