Mercury Sable LS is a High Quality Sedan

We purchased a lease return Sable LS with 50K miles. It looks and drives like a brand new car. Leather interior is beautiful, sunroof and climate control systems work perfectly. Installed new Goodyear triple Tread Tires, drives like a dream, very quiet with precise steering and ABS brakes. I cannot understand why american auto magazine reviewers give excellent U.S. made cars like my Sable such a bad rap. We rented a highly touted japanese car while on vacation and we found it to be slow, underpowered and tinny, with excessive road noise. We were glad to get rid of it at the end of the trip. Our Sable is a much better built car, quieter,with a more substantial structure,and much better power.

Really like my Sable

I am really bonding with my Sable - as I drive about 40,000 miles per year and my car is my major tool. I appreciate this car more every day. The ride is firm yet comfortable. Radio and heater/AC controls are ergonomically well placed. Ride is very nice. Purchased this car with 17,000 miles on it for $11,400. How can you beat that? Excellent everyday work mobile.

Great Griswold Wagon

My brother asked to help him find a reliable family car. This car would have been at the bottom of my list, but he insisted on checking it out. It had 135k, and looked kinda rough (nothing a good detailing couldn't solve). However the test drive, and a little research sold me. I've driven it quite frequently on long distance trips. The car is an absolute pleasure. It cruses like a Cadillac and I love the sound system and 6-disk changer. There are some obvious electrical problems, and little glitches with power options and I find the climate control confusing when driving. None the less it is a safe, sophisticated family car that I feel absolutely comfortable with my niece riding in.

After considering several minivans and SUVs to fill the role of our family vehicle we selected a Mercury Sable LS Wagon. It's a great value loaded with so many extras, very comfortable, great incentive laden financing and it carries 8 passengers!

I bought this car with 21xxx miles on it when it was about one year old. I paid $9,995.00 + tax. . It has a fair amount of leg and head room. I'm 6'2" and am reasonably comfortable in it. It's smooth running and rides fairly smooth. It's quiet even at highway speeds. The seats are comfortable. It gets about 27 M.P.G. on the highway, which is what it's rated at. It's also fun to drive and I think it has a nice body style. They do depreciate drastically the first year but for someone just looking for a good deal on a 1 year old,I think the Sable is the way to go. I don't know why these cars get such a bad rap.
