Bought a 2001 Sable LS Premium new and put 71,000 miles on it over 6 years. Just traded it in for a different brand. I miss my Sable! Excellent ride quality, loaded with luxury features, great stereo system, elegant styling. 21 MPG in town, 28 MPG highway. Very reliable.

I bought this car used with only 80,000 miles on it. 3 days after purchase the trans went out, thank god for 30 day warranties, but then the blower for the heater went out, the wiring for the AC burnt up so now no heat or air, coils burnt out, the driver's side window keeps getting stuck, will go down but not back up,even put a new window motor in it 3 times, still have this problem. I paid $5,000 for the car and have put $4,000 in it and still have nothing but junk!

I like my car. I enjoy having room to carpool or take my friends on rides. I'd by another sable, I'd just get more features!

Replaced Transmission at 14,700 miles

Overall, this car wasn't bad, until 12,000 miles. Then the transmission problems started. First, a dealership told me that I had plenty of warranty left to figure it out. A month later, dealership couldn't replicate the problem, but replaced a tran sensor. Now, the dealership replaced the transmission with a remanufactured, without telling me first. Still drives questionably, but it looks like I'm stuck with it. The service dept, my salesman, and Ford's Customer Relations act like I should be thrilled that I have a so-called new transmission.

Junk-Do Not Purchase

Rotors warp every 8,000 miles. Poor braking distance. Transmission shift bad, sounds good but goes no where & I feel it will not make to my 60,000 mile lease end like my Tauras, Constantly out of alignment. Eats Tires every 12,000 miles even if rotated. Poor handling car. Rattles underneath.
