2001 Mercury Sable LS 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Review

This car has performed beautifully. No major repairs. Required 2 minor repairs during entire ownership, both under warranty. I am not happy with the leather interior, in that one small section on each door had to be replaced, having loosened and came off. Had to have front-end alignment package installed before being aligned. This equipment should be standard.

Favorite Features

Great on gas milage. Excellent acceleration pick-up.

Suggested Improvements

Should have possibility of front-end alignment as standard equipment and not have to install a kit. Leather trim should be more durable. Cloth plush should be available rather than leather.

Review

My beautiful 2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium is awesome i ordered mine from the Factory With medium royal blue paint and white leather and a white padded top with Chrome Trim and Mercury Logos on the side and i put those chrome strips around the wheels and on the door frames.And love that powerful 24V Duratec V6 and i love the smooth quiet ride and the beautiful Wood Trim and the roomy interior with the fold down back seats and the HUGE trunk and that is just a few things about my Sable that i love but it really is a great car with no trouble spots Mercury really did a great job on the new Sables but the only bad thing is that the car has a granny imagine but oh well i love it and i am 27 .....

Favorite Features

That Medium Royal Blue Paint and the Powerful 24V Duratec V6 and the white leather interior and the powermoon roof and the heated side mirrors

Suggested Improvements

None at all fine just the way it is

a/c concerns

Review

i am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. the a/c moduole and door have been replaced and keep quitting on me. i believe it is an electrical problem since the unit works when it plugged in again(after tearing down the car and hours doing so) the dealership said it was the module and door but something shorts the motor module that controls the door that closes for a/c and heating control. the cost can go above $600 to tear it down again. we have 53,000 miles on it. the sable LS with 24 valve engine. any ideas?

Favorite Features

i love the leather seats and sound system, the fold down rear seats for long items in the trunk. the power windows/seats. the driving is very good with good gas mileage to add to the positive.

Suggested Improvements

larger trunk opening would be nice. also a better dome light feature for seeing items in the back seat.

Review

This car hauls... Don't be fooled by it's family sedan/granny car appearance Everytime that I've let someone else drive it they end up squealing the tires their first time behind the wheel, it has a lot more get-up-and-go than they expect. Nice comfy ride and roomy interior. I haven't had any major problems yet..(knock on wood) speaking of..the woodgrain interior looks pretty nice and I love the stainless steel door handles. I've been considering buying a new car but don't want to part with my Sable.

Favorite Features

It's a good size car,not too big,not too small.Great Mach audio system. Love the engine! Love the trunk release too,it's so fun when you're in the store parking lot walking to your car, and someone is passsing by your car, so you press the remote trunk release and it flips open, and freaks them out!

Suggested Improvements

Exterior is a little boring. An electronic compass would be nice. Can't think of much else.

Best Sable of three I've had

Review

Comfortable, lots of guts, smooth. Others that drive it like it. Never had any major work (until this month). Rough idling when warmed up, diagnosed as burnt valve. Covered under factory warranty. Two weeks so far, waiting for repair. Informed it will be another week. Dealer says burnt valve is a very unusual thing. They never say this before (large dealership). Other than that, I like the car, but am now leary. This would be a very expensive repair if not covered under warranty.

Favorite Features

Creature comfort features. Numerous. Too many to list. If I had to pick one, it would be the driver's seat with all of its features. Brakes are great also. Automatic climate control.

Suggested Improvements

Needs improvement in trunk opening. Large trunk, but trunk lid and opening limits size of items that can be put in the trunk.

Review

This car is pretty; pretty unreliable. Have had many problems since purchased new (brakes, exterior probs, windows, sensors, axle, etc). If you plan on putting actual MILES on this car, beware. Made for the Sunday driver. Have owned/still own other Ford family vehicles but this one's the pits. Resale drops off, for a reason. But when she runs, she runs well and great on the highway...plenty of extra power even at highway speeds.

Favorite Features

Nice appearance, safe feel and safety features (reason for the purchase ultimately), good reserve power at highway speeds, HUGE trunk capacity, a/c cools quickly, roomy backseat, good factory paint, leather seats comfortable and easy to clean.

Suggested Improvements

See above. Factory "stereo" is pathetic. Better fuel economy would be a plus. A value for $24,000? Not exactly.

Review

I bought this car on the A-Plan, and have never regretted it for a second.It just turned 40k miles. I love this car! I'd much rather drive it than my mom's Grand Marquis. I can actually feel the road in my Sable. I've owned imports before and loved them, but never like this! This car is very roomy, comfortable, quiet and performs well. I did have a little trouble with the transmission, but another dealer fixed it right up. Never had any problem with getting stuff done under warranty, either. The extended warranty is definitely the way to go! I've had plenty of compliments on my car. My husband just wishes I'd let him drive it more often!

Favorite Features

I love that 24 valve! Purrs like a kitten and has plenty of power. The leather seats are very comfortable, the adjustable pedals are very nice and OH THAT MACH SOUND SYSTEM! Plus this baby is just as nice on the outside too! That Matrix blue is the prettiest shade.

Suggested Improvements

The only gripe I have is the trunk. Groceries get LOST unless you tie the bags! Maybe some sort of storage system like I've seen in other cars would help.

Review

This car is truly a bargin! I have had over 27 cars and for the price it is the most comfortable and refined car Ive had. The 24 valve v6 is great 200hp and I get 22mpg around town and have hit 31mpg on long highway trips. Th leather seats are a must, you just melt right in to them and not hard like a BMW and more comfortable than my mothers E320 Mercedes with leather seating. If your not chasing after the Jonses, the the LS sable is a bargine

Favorite Features

Looks fuel economy comfort quiet and the 24valve v6

Suggested Improvements

For what you get at this price no.
