This vehicle is what I was searching for. It has all the options I wanted and the price was most affordable. I would recommend Mercury to others. An overall good American car.

I am writing this review for 1 reason. Torque steer. This vehicle exhibits an extreme amount of torque steer when accelerating hard from a stop light. Even when cruising at 50 mph and giving it gas the car pulls to the right fairly hard. I thought it may have been the alignment but if you let off the gas the car tracks very straight! I find this flaw very annoying and spend most of my day making a left hand turn to keep the car straight!

I bought this car brand new with 3 miles on it off the dealers showroom floor. I have owned it since dec 2003. In that time it has been in the shop to be fixed 7 times . 3 times for electraical and computer problems. 2 times for computer problems. 1 time for starter problems now acting up again. Don't buy this car if you don't want a lemon. Donna beegle

I shopped for a while before selecting this car for the second time, and I'm glad I did. You heard me right, this car has significant improvements over my previous 97 Taurus Wagon which I also loved to drive. I've driven my 2004 Sable for 14,000 miles so far and haven't had a single problem with it, so yes I'm quite happy. For me, considering what you get, the price of this car made it a no-brainer. I probably would be interested in a Jaguar or a Volvo Wagon too, but only if I didn't have to pay all that extra money. I also think that the Sable is a great looking car, inside and out.
best auto ever owned,

never had a problem with the Sable. it starts very good, the air conditioner is excellent, it cools instantly, the heater likewise it heats instantly, The pick up is excellent, the price is great I purchased the best model so it goes to show that you get what you pay for. I would purchase a Mercury or Mazda as my next new auto. I like the Mercury van that is made by Mazda, I had one for 2 years and got spoiled. I will purchase my next auto in 2006 which will be as I had stated.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, my Mercury Sable is by far the best vehicle I have had the pleasure to own and operate. Five star rated safety, reliability, good design, ride, interior comfort, excellent options and features make it a very excellent automobile. It suits all of our needs and requirements for and all around tranportation vehicle. Kudos Mercury Sable.
Good Car

I absolutely love it!Bought it a week ago and am enjoying showing it off. It drives beautifully. Very luxurious feel about it.Leather interior, moonroof, Mach sound system, automatic climate control,heated mirrors, side airbags,ABS,etc. The staff at King LinconMercurySuzuki in Gaithersburg,MD are top notch. Went back just to pick up my license tags today and they still treated me great.

This wagon is my third one. I have enjoyed this car as it has gone through upgrades. I rate it high because none of the three have given me any problems other than normal wear and tear. I would get another one when this one is turned in to the leasing company.
I love this big solid car

My main concern when buying a car is safety and the Sable ranks as one of the safest on the highway.Safety aside it is roomy inside with a spacious trunk.It has a good clean body style that is easy to wash and wax.The dashboard is laid out well and easy to see.And I can't imagine not having the mileage counter that tells you how many more miles you can go before needing to stop for gas. The inside is comfortable and nicely done.For my money Ford offers the best paint job of any car maker and the paint and chrome make this Sable an eye catcher as you ride safely down the road.
A lot for the money

We bought this car a month ago. I wnated an American car with leather interior, sun roof, a reasonably powerful 6 cyl. engine that ran on regular unleaded, reasonable gas milage, and w/a good size trunk. We got it in the Sable LS model, plus zero % financing for 60 months. Time will tell how it will hold up, but I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing at this point.

When I first purchased my Sable, I noticed the poor gas mileage. (12mpg) I called the service department, and he said I needed much more mileage. When I had 2000 miles on it, I brought it in, and they ran a test on it. Brought back the results and said the car was fine. I was getting 14 mpg then. Went on to explain that the advertised mileage was only an "estimate." I got no satisfaction from them. I sometimes get 16. When I took a long trip, I got 24. That was the only time I got decent mileage.

Just having my accident a few weeks before, was looking and not buying but going to a 2004 Nissan Sentra to a bigger car was adjustment. Driving and sitting in the Sable was different than Sentra. Going from 15,900 to 13,900 and 15480 miles on it was a good deal. The leather seating and wood console was class and all around controls were easily on reach. The trunk was huge to me and its a smooth ride
Great Family Car

I just bought this car a couple of days ago. The sticker price was over $27,000. With incentives, the purchase price was $16,999. This is one of the best values anywhere. This car is over $2,000 less than a Honda Accord (which I was getting rid of)or a Toyota Camry and has many more options than those cars. This car has leather, a power sunroof, climate control, power everything, heated mirrors and more. The fit and finish both inside and out is good. There is plenty of room for 5 adults. The V6 gets good milage and has plenty of power. The tranny is smooth and the ride is comfortable. We have an '03 Mercury Mountaineer and have not had any problems with the Mercury brand.
Great car

Had a 1996 Mercury Sable with the Vulcan engine and liked the car. Had no trouble with it for over 100,000 miles. Traded for a 2003 Mercury Sable with the Duratech multi-valve 200 HP engine (son not on insurance anymore), and love the additional power. Leather seats and all the bells and whistles. Great car and fun to drive. Have had 0 problems with it. Would recommend highly for a family sedan. Camry too spartan inside and much more money. Avalon compares favoribly but much much more expensive. A definite best buy.

I recently had a 93' sable and had no problems up to 130,000 miles. I now have the bigger V6 with 200hp and love it. It has plenty of around town pep. Very roomy inside but didn't opt for the leather because of kids. I would highly recommend a sable over a camery because you get more for your money, more room, more exctitng driving experience.
Nice car

Vehicle is very comfortable. I feel that I got a lot of car for the money. The insurance premium is very reasonable. I really like the trim on this vehicle, it doesn't appear cheap.
I like it!
