2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Great, Excellent): Excellent Fun-Factor (None, Some, Good Times, Groove-On): Good Times INTERIOR Aside from being a perfect fit for my 5-foot-4-inch frame, the Milan Hybrid's interior was accommodating and stylish without being too fancy for my family. Its two-tone leather upholstery made it easy to wipe up crumbs and spills. However, I didn't appreciate the multitude of colors in the dashboard area; the glove box was light gray, with a black-colored stripe sitting just above it, and the top half of the dash was dark gray. It was too much. The Milan Hybrid has a brightly illuminated gauge... |

2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Most of all, the ride is remarkably quiet. Much of this is attributed to the electric drive. But even at highway speeds, the hybrid, with its very slippery aerodynamics, low-rolling resistant tires, smooth suspension and electronic continuously variable transmission, is very quiet. Silence is golden in the car world, and the Milan is on par with best in the midsize car segment. Luxury to appreciate The interior is just as luxurious, with leather seats and a nicely flowing dash. The redesign for the 2010 model year raised the quality and craftsmanship of the Milan. Much of the interior has... |

Standard features include rear parking sensors and a 110-volt household... |

2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Ride & Handling One of the more surprising qualities of the Milan Hybrid is its stiff suspension tuning. Whether you pass over a small crack in the pavement or a large bump, the Milan lets you know about it. With Mercury serving as Ford's premium brand (between mass-market Ford and luxury Lincoln), I would have expected greater isolation from the road — something like the comfortable ride in the Mercury Sable full-size sedan. The upside is that it does a good job controlling unwanted body roll ; the car remains flat when accelerating through a corner. The suspension also settles the car... |

2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The CVT, or continuously variable transmission, helps maximize available power. Mileage, though, is not what sold me on this Milan Hybrid. Handling is exceptionally good - far better than a Toyota Prius or even the new Honda Insight - and the ride, while smooth, has enough road feel to make the driver feel involved. The electric power steering is just right, something Toyota and General Motors haven't mastered. Inside, the test Milan Hybrid is a luxury car, with standard leather upholstery, and about $5,510 in options that included a navigation system, a rear-view camera, a power moon roof... |
