My mom has a 2006 Mercury Montego, which I'm 99% sure is the same thing. Her's has the 3.0l v6, awd, xenons, nav, leather/htd/pwr seats, etc, its great, rides excellent and has decent pickup. I like driving it just for the seating position. It's got a huge backseat and trunk and overall for $20k I think they are very nice cars. She does only in city driving, so I'm sure her MPG suffers, but I'm pretty sure she gets 20-25 average.
