I bought this car on the A-Plan, and have never regretted it for a second.It just turned 40k miles. I love this car! I'd much rather drive it than my mom's Grand Marquis. I can actually feel the road in my Sable. I've owned imports before and loved them, but never like this! This car is very roomy, comfortable, quiet and performs well. I did have a little trouble with the transmission, but another dealer fixed it right up. Never had any problem with getting stuff done under warranty, either. The extended warranty is definitely the way to go! I've had plenty of compliments on my car. My husband just wishes I'd let him drive it more often!

Pro: it is a fun car to drive with great feel for the road. The 24 valve engine has significant power for passing, etc. Variable position brake and accelerator pedal convenient for the best driving position. Con: seats may be too firm for some drivers. Some wind noise on the hwy.

Disappointed

This car is pretty; pretty unreliable. Have had many problems since purchased new (brakes, exterior probs, windows, sensors, axle, etc). If you plan on putting actual MILES on this car, beware. Made for the Sunday driver. Have owned/still own other Ford family vehicles but this one's the pits. Resale drops off, for a reason. But when she runs, she runs well and great on the highway...plenty of extra power even at highway speeds.

I have owned this car for 7 years. The only thing I've done is change tires and a battery. Car drives like a sports car and rides like a Lincoln. Great handling in mountain curves.

Best Sable of three I've had

Comfortable, lots of guts, smooth. Others that drive it like it. Never had any major work (until this month). Rough idling when warmed up, diagnosed as burnt valve. Covered under factory warranty. Two weeks so far, waiting for repair. Informed it will be another week. Dealer says burnt valve is a very unusual thing. They never say this before (large dealership). Other than that, I like the car, but am now leary. This would be a very expensive repair if not covered under warranty.
