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

I got a LS Premium in Red with a gold Pinstripe that makes it look very attractive. I have the optional Duratec engine That is very powerful and is good for passing people on the highway. It also gets pretty good gas mileage. Rides very smooth and decently quiet inside. The leather is great and the seats are very supportive. Lots of trunk room too. Great for if you have three kids.

Mercury Sable- A very good American car

I think the Sable is one of the most underrated vehicles on the road today. I have test driven the new Camry and while I liked it, I much prefer the Sable for overall performance, interior style, and even the exterior styling in spite of being somewhat dated. It is still a very attractive car. This is our 5th. Sable, after a four year hiatus with two Lincoln Continentals. Believe me, there is no $20,000 difference in these cars, which is the variance in the sticker price of the two vehicles. I really wonder why all the Auto Rags talk up the 'rice burners' and down-play the American iron. Buy American.

Was surprised to find this car has the same if not more features than the Jaguar X-Type! Plenty of go from the 3.0L, smooth, stable, quiet ride. Sound system is decent for stock, more than enough trunk space. Plenty of cubby holds to store things, love the compass/auto-dimming mirror.

The car seemed to to be a good but when you compair all the known specs at the time of purchase but after a few years look out! This car model is no worse than the support from Ford Motor who just does not care in my opinion. I bought the extended warranty so I have had some protection. When you look at what other's have had to repair you will see a pattern. First the A/C goes up after about 2-3 years. Then the door seals leak they needed to be replaced. The car does not burn E85 fuel as listed by Ford. Runs rough and chokes on mixed fuel. The list goes on but now after just 41,500 miles I need spark plug wires.

Great car. This is my first Mercury and by far the best car I have ever driven in 45 years.
