Second Sable written 10-16-07 is identical to my own experience. Traded my 1986 for the 3 year old 1996. Love the Smoked Amethyst paint (but can't spell it?) but disappointed with the decontenting from 1986 model. No problems whatsoever, but I know a lot about treating and driving cars to insure long life. Also have a 1966 Corvette and 1975 Toyota - both bought new. The Sable is an excellent airport pickup car with six belted seating positions and huge trunk. Invisible to state troopers and thieves/vandals alike.
Good Car

Bought it new. I have difficulty letting go. Well thought-out features design. Transmission has been problematic, but installing a shift kit was good choice. Other great features: 4 Wheel Anti-Lock Braking System Disk Brakes, Power Driver's Seat, Gauge Cluster, Tachometer, Alloy Wheels, Lighted Variable Vanity Mirrors, Great Lighting Package, Dual Heated Remote Sport Mirrors.
Great Value

I love my car.. Has been very strong and reliable. Have only ever had 1 problem and that was a sensor in the trans... Normal maintance stuff, but runs strong and performs well..
