WOW!! What a car, soon as I sat in it. I knew I was taking this car home. If you use the empower setting on the dashboard you can learn to manipulate the engine to get 40 mpg with just a little care. I've owned it since July have 6,000 miles on it with a combo of city/highway mileage. As far as handling you wouldn't know its a hybrid.

The only thing I wish it had was a little more torque with the electric engine from point of acceleration then I would probably get 43 mpg's.

If your looking to come back to an American car this is the one. An AMAZING vehicle I would totally recommend. All the bells and whistles couldn't ask for more. Still trying to learn everything it can do!!

Great fuel economy, smooth handling, nicely designed interior, Sirius, My Sync

Hybrid battery placement reduces trunk space

Overall I am very pleased with my purchased. Hands down the best car I have ever driven. Fuel economy is almost at the level promised by Mercury (41 MPG in city). Milan is for those who, like myself, wanted a more conservative, less gaudy exterior than the Fusion and a more refined interior.

The only noticeable drawback is the lack of flexibility with regard to trunk space: the placement of the hybrid battery prohibits the expansion of the trunk. I also notice a slight rigidity in terms of steering corners. Otherwise, Milan is a great car.
