Our review of this midsize four-door leads us to believe that it matches up well with similar sedans from Honda, Hyundai, Nissan and Toyota. It offers a wonderful combination of agreeable performance, comfort and utility. Like the Ford Fusion, the Milan comes standard with an adequate 160-hp 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a choice of a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission; an upgraded 221-hp 3.0-liter V6 engine and a six-speed automatic are optional. We found the ride and handling of the Milan nicely coordinated. Anti-lock brakes come standard, and all-wheel drive can be added for increased responsiveness and wet-road traction. On the inside, capacity of the five-passenger sedan is acceptable, and the seats, dash and other elements are trimmed in first-class materials. Six airbags are standard. A new communications/entertainment system that integrates portable media players is now available.
