Persistent rumors that Ford will drop the line; Sable has already been dropped. The Milan Premier, although touted by Mercury as an upscale car, is nothing more than a re-badged Fusion and not as comfortable as my 2000 Taurus. see full Mercury Milan review |

Ford is not known for beating the Japanese in reliability. But at the time I bought this the Milan was rated more trouble free than Camry by consumer reports. I have only added gas and oil. It runs the same at 54K as 18K. see full Mercury Milan review |

Mazda tied with Subaru for second place in 2013 Consumer Reports Best Car Brands, behind Lexus. Great driving a car brand not everyone has but is still known for quality and a great driving experience. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |
