The Duratec has more responsive power than the new Crown Vic LS-Sport's souped up V-8. Fast and nimble car! Back seat is surprisingly roomy, but front leg room is big disappointment for taller driver. Put seat back for legs, can't reach wheel comfortably. Bad proportions, bad intrusive left front wheel well into driver's left leg area. Foot will fall asleep bent up on foot rest!

This car is pretty nice to drive, but its nothing special. We've owned this car for 5 years now and still nothing really stands out as special. It gets pretty good gas mileage under 55 mpg on the highway. Also, once it gets to about a quarter tank of gas, the fuel pump shuts off. We had to push it over a mile to a gas station, I mean, what a stupid design failure. Overall, this car is not very impressive

I bought the LS Premium with about 22k on it 6 mo. ago. AC compressor went bad after a couple months (luckily I had the extended warranty, but it still cost me a little over $100 deductible). Otherwise, car seems pretty solid. Somewhat luxurious (compared to the blander Taurus anyhow). But my LS came without a 6disc changer! Also, as others have said- the trunk, while of a decent size, is hindered by a too- small, oddly-shaped opening. And yeah, drum brakes? Shame on Ford for that one... Otherwise, I'm liking this car quite a bit.

I bought my 2002 Sable LS Premium in Dec 2002. Opted for the Mach Audio system, with the 6 disk cd changer in the armrest, and spash guards. The car itself rocks. It has a lot of power, does 0-50 in no time. Love the looks of it, and the cabin is quiet also. Gas mileage really sucks. I do about 260 miles per tank the most in the city, and 320 miles per tank on the highway. For people who are thinking about buying it: It's an OK car, except for: Bad gas mileage, water leaking in from under the driver's floormat (car always smells of mold because of that), engineering. And last, it's nice and comfortable.
