Toyota Corolla vs. Mercury Milan Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Mercury Milan to the dealership as the Toyota Corolla. Producing an exact gas mileage evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Toyota Corolla is the winner regarding gas mileage. The Toyota Corolla won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Mercury. With respect to MSRP, the Toyota Corolla costs tremendously less than the Mercury Milan.

Utility
The Corolla and the Mercury Milan can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Toyota Corolla than with the Mercury Milan, because both offer similar ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Toyota Corolla offers a bit more head room than the Mercury Milan, there really isn't much of a difference. The Mercury Milan is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Toyota.

Dimensions
The Milan is tremendously more bulky than the Corolla. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Mercury Milan than the Corolla because of its bigger tank. The Toyota Corolla and the Mercury Milan compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercury packs quite a punch and will knock the Toyota Corolla down a few rungs. On the other hand, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Toyota Corolla is definitely nimbler than the Mercury Milan, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Toyota Corolla's engine is substantially smaller than the Mercury Milan's. Keep in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the flip side, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Milan is substantially more powerful than the Toyota Corolla. Torque equals pickup, and the Mercury will have picked up and gone by the time the Toyota finally gets moving.

Overview
The Mercury Milan and the Corolla have the same basic warranty.
