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

Review

This is a great car for the price!! It has lots of room for a family, but it is still very stylish. A very safe, sound car to drive. Did great in crash tests ratings. Has adjustable gas and brake pedal, so you can sit as far as possible from the airbag. We love this car and will definetly purchase again!!

Favorite Features

Roomy, 6 disc cd player, great sound system, adjustable foot pedal.

Review

I bought this car from my grandmother at 7,200 miles and drove it to Colorado. Amazingly tight suspension. Then half the bulbs in the dash blew out. Put 5 people in it and try to drive up a steep pass and the tranny overheats badly and slips/smokes. THAT is unacceptable. Then the tranny died at 12,000 and again at 19,000 Car then got (stolen, kindof)a one-way brick-on-the- gas trip into Monument Lake and that was the end of that(sorry State Farm Insurance). I refuse to be jacked around by a $24k car when my cheesy old Toyota with 126k has never failed us

Favorite Features

Tons of power, decent styling, drives like a much bigger and more expensive vehicle. Standard features list impressive for price.

Suggested Improvements

Depreciation is utterly shocking, better quality control, softer suspension. I get intimidated when a Mercury Sable can out-handle my 1975 Porsche!! Ford, you have built crappy transmissions since the early 80's.. Very good car except that, really.

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

Review

With both rear seats down, I find the Cargo space is comparable to 80% of the SUVs on the market. This vehicle is an excellent alternative for someone who needs cargo space but does not want to endure the harsh road handling traits of most SUVs with their poor gas mileage. Excellent performance from its Duratek V6 Engine, lots of passing power. Great road handling ability makes it a pleasure to drive.

Favorite Features

Traction and automatic climate controls.

Suggested Improvements

Provide more leg room for front passager.

Underated handler

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

Review

Bought this car used with 65,000 miles on it. It cost $6,000!!! The car falls off a cliff in resale. With the standard 3.0 engine, it is destined to be a stylish, comfortable, reliable car that is a deceptively capable handler. Lost of wind noise from the windesheild, and brakes seem to be a Taurus weak point. Buy used and save BIG!

Favorite Features

Cost Handling Style Fuel Mileage

Suggested Improvements

Wind noise Brakes weak No recycle on interior air.

I was looking to buy a used vehicle, and I got this 2001 Mercury Sable. It is very comfortable to drive. It halndles very well on the freeway and city driving. It is very roomy for the passengers in the back seat. The trunk has lots of space. It is very attractive also on the body style. I am very proud to have purchased this car. I will never go to driving any other make of car now!

Favorite Features

The comfort inside the car. The stereo system. The style outside. The roominess in all the car. The color. The gas mileage it gets in the city and freeway

We have had this car for over 3 years now and it has not had one single problem. It drives great and has a classy look to it inside and out. I recently purchased a Mountaineer and considered trading this car in instead of our older one, but my wife would not part with it!

Favorite Features

Moonroof, adjustable pedals, premium sound system.

The feel of the door handle when opening the door.

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

Review

I have had my Sable for over 2 years and I am very pleased with my overall experiance. I have not grown tired of the looks both inside and out. Although, I wonder how I will feel when Ford decides to do a total make over. I have not had any service issues and I have it routinely maintained every 5K miles.

Favorite Features

I like the engine's power and quietness. I am pleased with all the extras normally found on much more expensive vehicles. (Auto Climate Control, Six Disk CD Player, Leather, Wood Trim, Mach Stereo System, Outside Temp. Indicator.

Suggested Improvements

Rear disk brakes, feel every bump in the road.

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

Review

The reviews are all correct when they say this is a boring car BUT, it is a reliable, comfortable car -- dare I say luxurious? I have enjoyed this car, even though it is not a stand out in the crowd, it has served me well.

Favorite Features

My favorite feature of the car is that it drives like a luxurious large car but it is mid-sized

Suggested Improvements

Improvements would be a manual height adjustment as standard for the driver's seat. Stereo system is not great.
