Used 1998 Mercury Sable Sedan Consumer Reviews
Sleeper
This car is a sleeper, with 200 hp and dual exhaust, its pretty fun to drive and also suprised me when i stepped on the gas. It has great acceleration with lots of toys & options : outside temp, sunroof, auto climate, spacious interiorm and a great sound system. I had my Sable for about 4 years with no major mechanical problems....until it got totaled
Excellent Car
Just returned from a trip to West Virginia. The car with the 3.0 L engine performed excellently going up and down hills, with the car fully loaded (4 passengers and ski gear). Higher octane gas helps under these conditions. Performs like a new car with 84,000 miles- who says Detroit can't make good car?

Very good results
I have had no bad results and would recommend this car for any family. It has a lot of power and speed. The body has a few chips in the paint but no dents. It is white in color with beige cloth interior. Power driver seat. I just had the speed sensor replaced in the transmission. This is the only problem I have ever had with this car. It has 67000 miles on it.
It has its ups and downs.
At first it was a great car. Then after a year little bad things kept happening. Window frames keep breaking, paint job flecking, windshield wipers goofy, parking brake light misbehaves, door sensors often wrong (had to remove interior light bulbs to save battery), hinge on front storage compartment broke, springs in change storages broke. Etc. On the plus side though nothing serious has ever broken. The only major failure after 160,000 miles was the bearing in the alternator went bad.
Sable is just fine
Nice car - not great on gas in the city, but very good on the hi-way.
