Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Space, handling, fit/finish, driving position, interior comfort
Cons: underpowered drive train with CVT auto.
The Bottom Line: This is a good family car, but the lack of power from the drivetrain and humdrum styling mitigate against recommending it.
In the course of looking for AWD vehicles this past summer, I decided to try out the new Mercury Montego, even though it was larger than the class of vehicle I was concentrating on. From that test drive, and a lot of comments on the vehicle, I was both ... read more

Pros: The Volvo cross-breeding definitely shows. The fuel economy is a major plus.
Cons: None found yet, with 2,100 miles on it. Will keep you posted.
