2006 Mercury Milan Premier review from North America
"Beautiful car with some flaws"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I started having problems with the clutching system. When the clutch was pressed in and the car was downshifted into a lower gear it would slightly shake and act like it wanted to die. Then it would catch itself. I contacted the local dealer and explained the issue, I brought the car in and they put it on the machine and said there is nothing wrong with this car. A few days later during a snowstorm the car actually died, and didn't want to start again. So once again I took the car to the dealer and once again I am told there is nothing wrong it. It still shakes every once in awhile, but it hasn't died since.
I love the interior of my car, the only complaint is the light tan carpets. They are pretty much white, not a good idea. Especially when you live somewhere cold and snowy like myself.
General comments?
This is a great car (even with the minor problems).
I love the way it handles, and it rides.
My husband and I have taken the car on trips, and it is wonderful.
