2006 Mercury Montego Premier AWD

The all-wheel drive in the 2006 Mercury Montego Premier AWD comes with a limited slip differential as well as a continuously variable transmission mated to the 203-hp, 3.0-liter V6 engine.  A fully independent suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, traction control, 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, and 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes are standard safety and performance equipment, leading to five-star crash ratings.  Also standard are dual front airbags, automatic headlights, xenon headlamps, foglights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.  Options add side curtain and impact airbags and parking sensors.

The Premier in the 2006 Montego Premier means leather upholstery, heated front seats, memory settings for the 6-way power driver's seat and controls, a power passenger seat, a CD changer/MP3 player with new wheel-mounted audio controls, power-adjustable pedals, and wood trim.  Other features include dual-zone climate control, cruise control, intermittent wipers, a trip computer, heated mirrors, compass and tachometer, and a security system.  The 21.2 cubic foot trunk expands when the rear seats and front passenger seat fold flat.  Tie-downs and hooks are included in the trunk.  Two new options this year include a DVD player and navigation system.  This is in addition to an optional sunroof.  More power tops the wish list of drivers, who otherwise love the spaciousness, handling, and overall visibility of the 2006 Montego Premier AWD.
