I love the style, power and comfort of my Sable. It is fun to drive. What I have not enjoyed was the multiple trips to the dealer to fix problems. Most were minor electrical problems but 1 took 5 trips to the dealer to resolve the problem. The transmission needed to be replace with only 45,000 miles. The verdict is still out if I would buy another one. They would need to convince me that there quality control had improved.

Ford has a real issue in a faulty differential. 33 months old and $2400 later. Only highway miles and no hard driving. Think twice and don't buy new or used!!!

Fun To Drive When It's Not In For Repair

This is my final Ford "Fix or Repair Daily" product. I am so tired of bringing the car in for various recalls and other problems (in fact, I need to call the dealer tomorrow to find out why my car is now leaking transmission fluid). Time in the shop is compounded by an inept dealer repair shop. Problems are not fixed right the first time. When it's not in the shop, the car is actually very pleasant to drive - great pickup and very smooth even at high speeds. However, it's just not worth the effort anymore. We also own a Hyundai Santa Fe, which has had zero problems, and has a better warranty.

Overall, this is an excellent car for the money. In over 65,000 miles of driving I have had no repairs whatsoever. It's a comfortable car to drive and handles well in all weather. I've been particularly impressed with the Continental Touring Contact all- season tires. A couple of minor gripes; the lack of a standard CD player is anoying. There are some blind spots with the large A and B pillars that take some getting used to. The overall ride could be a little firmer, and Ford needs to do something about the mushy transmission shift points; it hates to downshift inless you prod it with the gas. The 3 liter V6 is one of the best powerplants on the road today.

This was my first Ford product, but it won't be my last. Other than a few minor factory recalls, this has been an outstanding ride. Very comfortable, plenty of room and storage. I have the Mach Stereo system w/ 6 disk changer and that is very nice and convenient.
