Mercury's Best Kept Secret !

2003 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Just bought the vehicle last month, purchased it new with the LS package, fully loaded, Spruce Green Met w/ tan leather interior and bucket seats w/ floor console. I just love everything about this car, from the powerful Duratec V-6 engine, responsive handling, smooth braking system, ride quality, and such sound construction of vehicle. I had previously test drove Altima and Toyota Solara prior to my purchasing this vehicle, and in my personal opinion, they couldn't stack up to what the 03 Sable LS had to offer. So I did the right thing, saved a few extra bucks and bought a far better car !

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.

Best Ford/car I've ever had

Wasn't too familiar with the Sable when I got it. Having driven a lot of Fords, this one has surprised me. The most comfortable and quiet car I have been in. Never seen an adjustable gas pedal before, until now. I got this car at auction with 127k, and got it for a bid of only $425, if you can believe it. 14 months later, and a winter of if driving through snow as if it wasn't there, and I'm sold. Plan on buying another one after this.

Magnificent Mid-size

After 100,000 miles this car is a dream. The premium model is chock full of options that leave you wanting nothing. This a "true" mid-size sedan that looks and rides great. Interior design is conservative yet attractive. Controls are logically laid out. Excellent climate control. Handling is precise enough..what you would expect in a car of this size and weight. I love the solid feel and feel quite safe with the side airbags and ABS. Duratec six cylinder is powerful and, with the 4 speed automatic/overdrive, smooth as silk. Frankly the best engine/trans marriage I think I ever owned, new or used. Luxury and power at a great pre-owned price tag. This is an American car done right.

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.
