We use this car for any long trips across the country, because it has a nice 'highway feel'. We also almost always take this car to any nice event we attend, it has a quality look and feel to it. We've been very happy with the Mercury Sable, it's a nice sedan and comfortable to drive friends too.

Egg Crate Style, but no beater!

I bought this wagon used 7 years ago and have not needed to use the bumper to bumper warranty. Only need to do the normal maintenance. Great gas mileage for a car this size 21 MPG city and 27 hiway. Great handling, leg room and sound system. The paint finish is wonderful considering it has not seen a garage. I may pass it on to my grandson as his college car in a few years, as it has hauled many a muddy soccer kid. The 3rd seat makes a total of 8 in seating capacity. Handles well in snow and the 200+ inches of rain we get. Nice and solid, no road noise. And the style keeps on ticking! A great first car if your are looking for safety and reliability., and lots of features.

Good blend of comfort & dependability

First major repair this month with new tie rods and stabilizers. Also new rotors. Rotors always warp easily. Other than that, power seats make a 12 hour drive very comfortable. Wish transmission was more responsive. I think it is geared more for smooth starts rather than performance starts.

Love the car. Duratec engine is fast and never disapointes me. The seats are comfortable. Great car for family trips or daily commute to work. However if you buy it get a good brand of tires (Goodyear, Michelin, Continental,)as cheap tires really can detract the benifits of this cars features.
