So Far So Good - Part IV
Just a bit more than 20K and rolling along! I'm well past the "new car" euphoria, and have settled in for what I plan to be a "long haul" relationship with my car. They stopped building Sables after the 05' model year, so not sure who this update's meant for, but what the hell... As stated before, I still enjoy the basics of my Sable; smooth and well muted ride, plenty of interior space, lotsa bang-for-the-buck (power amenities, trip comp, solid safety credentials, etc.)... Complaints are few, but focus on what could be described as "classic automotive Americana;" cheapo interior materials, the ominous threat of shakey long-term reliability (though, like the title says, so far so good!
Reliable Comfort
Traded a 2002 Miata in for it when I needed a new car to drive coast to coast pulling a trailer. Wound up making the drive twice and the car performed flawlessly. Now has 55,000 miles on it and the only repair trip to the dealer was to replace a failing speaker. Car has DOHC 3.0 engine. Pulls down 28 MPG on the highway and 22-24 MPG around town which is surprising for its size. In winter I use 4 studded snows and have never gotten stuck in the worst storms New England can throw at it.

So Far So Good - Part V
Noooo idea who this review is for, but what the hell...here goes. Just shy of 36K and all's well. My Sable GS has yet to experience a single mechanical failing (the starter issue I mentioned in earlier posts thankfully hasn't resurfaced), and the car rides as well as when new. Thusly, I've nothing new to report. My car's all one would expect; roomy, smooth riding and dull as your kitchen blender. Despite that dearth of flash however, I wholeheartedly recommend the Sable as a solid commuter tool, and accordingly as a "safe" used car buy.
Sold on Sable
Just bought a 2003 GS Sedan with 18000 miles on it for the wife.Paid half the sticker price for a 4 door midsize sedan with all the B&W needed (She didnt want leather seats,too hot)So far so good.Glad we got a sable instead of paying up for a import.
