This is a great car for the money, especially if you buy used like I did. I paid 10,900 for a 2002 sable with 16,000 miles and two years left on warranty. It is a 6 cylindar car, not a 4 cylinder like you would get for that money, on most other cars. The ride is good, the power sufficient, styling European, milage decent, safety rating excellent. Oh yeh, the honda's and toyota's are perfect. But are they really perfect as consumer reports indicates. The sable is now a recommned buy for consumer reports.

This is my 7th Ford product, and by far the best. Comfort, economy, powerful 24 valve V-6 crisp handling. The only drawback the Continental original equipment tires are junk. Terrible wet traction, too much road noise too firm ride. Change to Michelin like driving a different car.

With the great incentives offered, this car turned out to be a real bargain. The performance and handling is great. Plenty of room and comfort, great for road trips.

Thrid Sable Wagon

It's now a trend. I have had 3 Mercury Sables in a row for a family car. Reliable, low maintenance and incredibly safe (I had a fender bender with a car full of kids). The style is a little stodgy, but it's not a minivan. The 3.0 L engines are very reliable and the Duratec is the best of the bunch. Don't poo-poo the versatility of the Sable wagon vs. a SUV or van. It can handle enough people for comfort and excuse you from stuffing the whole Tee ball team in the same insane vehicle. Buy one, you'll like it.

This is the first car I ever owned. Bought it as a used rental in late 2002. I've had it ever since. It's been a great car. No major mechanical issues, except wear & tear stuff. Had to recently replace the thermostat & the inner tie rods. The car drives well. Not the fastest on the block, but decent for a sedan. Very good gas mileage. I do mostly highway driving & usually get 24-26 mpg.
