Used 2005 Mercury Sable Sedan Consumer Reviews
I love this car
We're still driving a red 2005 Sable we bought in 2016 with 85,000 miles on it. Also bought a warranty. The transmission went out almost immediately. Between the car, warranty and rebuilt transmission it was about 5.5 thousand total. It has the most comfortable seats since our '99 Continental. It runs like a top, uses almost no oil between changes, gets almost 26 average mpg on good gas. We've put 50,000 miles on it and even though we're looking for a newer primary vehicle, have no plans to get rid of it. What a gem. Only sad we can't get a newer Sable.

Underpriced
This is my 2nd sable; the first lasted over 12 years before it finally quit. The 05 sable exceeded my expectations as far as interior design and build quality. It kind of reminds me of a luxury car. It may not have perfect gas mileage (I average around between 27-29 mpg), but other than that it definitely outclasses most of its competitors. This car deserves a lot more credit.
okay but never again
The car is okay. It has the most features for the price and the dealer has been more than helpful. My car's engine light is on about once every two months. It chuggs along. No comfortable for trips over 170 miles. Not the ideal car to rack miles on and expect minimal maitenance. Does handle well in the snow but not the cold.
Keeps tickin'
Extremely dependable, a great highway cruiser w/mpg average 23-25. This is my 4th Sable and will easily last over 200,000 miles in my experience. Weakest link is the transmission. However, if you change fluids on time, tell her you love her once a week- she will love you back. Very high rating on dependability and safety. This is not your dad's Sable.

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.
