Review

My car was purchased new at the end of 1990 by my grandmother. After she died in '99, it was purchased by my neighbors. They did a few minor repairs to it, nothing major, and then my parents bought it back for my first car. I've been driving it for nearly 3 years now and I totally love it! It's very reliable and comfortable (all of my friends are glad to catch a ride with me because of the comfort). My only complaint is that it isn't exactly the cutest thing for a teenager to be driving around! Gas mileage is great, even with over 130,000 miles on it and 12-13 years of wear and tear, only a few minor repairs and what not.

Favorite Features

The comfort is great, very roomy interior! I love the gas mileage, I still get anywhere from 23-27 mpg. Also, the trunk space is HUGE! Air conditioner is still blowing strong too.

Suggested Improvements

As a teenager, I wish it was a sportier car, but hey, that's not the type of car it is. It's been great as a first car.

I bought this car used with 80000 miles on it. it's been a wonderful car so far and has a terrific little 3.0L engine. I have 165000 miles plus on it now and it's still going strong. over the years ive only done minor ordinary repairs such items are stuts inner tierod ends fluid changes tires belts hoses. ive gotten as much as 28mpg with it but now am still happy with a repectable 24 at 165000 not too bad huh.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Review

I bought my car to drive to work that is 35 miles away.And it seems that as soon as you get one thing fixed something else brakes.I have had to put in new struts.All kinds of motor work.Trunk would not latch it was the inside cable relese.Casette Tape dont play any more .Air condishining compressor pump froze up after 3 monyhs of use . Oil leak to expensive to fix.its the rear seal and you have to pull the motor to repair.and there is a lot of road noise .It may have been a nice car when it was new.I get 27 miles per gallon.

Favorite Features

Review

I have found that my sable is one of the most reliable cars from the early 90's (as most ford cars are.) It gets good highway miles for a sedan and if maintained regularly is quite reliable in everyday transportation. I have had little or no major repairs nor did previous owners.

Favorite Features

comfortable seats and not bad factory sound system

Suggested Improvements

might want updated sound system for younger owners

Although the Engine runs forever

Review

Although the engine of this vehicle runs forever, it doesn't do much good because the rest of the car falls apart. Case in point: New CVs, new inner&outter Tie rods, Ball Joints, rear shocks, rear passenger door hinge is broken, bad 02 sensor, the list goes on and on. My car now has almost 200,000, which is great for the engine, but the rest of the car falling apart.

Favorite Features

Engine reliability, Good at higher (70+) speeds.

Suggested Improvements

Improve suspension components so that do not fail so often, body style, paint and paint sealant are very low quality.
