2009 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I needed to fit 3 child car seats in the back, which it does better than my VW Passat it replaced. see full Mercury Milan review |

The front seats are uncomfortable. They are both crooked, leaning to the side, so you need a pillow to isolate your back from the side bolster on one side that digs into your back. The head restraints push your neck forward and are not removable for adjustment. The driver's seat could use a height adjuster ( apparently available as an option on some models ). see full Jeep Patriot review |
