This is a Ford?
Needed AWD sedan. Looked at Audi, Benz, BMW, Lexus, Subaru. Test drove 08 Sable and was floored. Quiet, comfortable, good power and 6 speed tranny. Can be picked up for little over invoice. Gas mileage on par with other >250hp v6 large sedans, do the research. AWD is super. 80% of the luxo's at 1/3 the cost. 5000 miles and not a single issue. Below 60 turn off overdrive and car is much more responsive around town and MPG stays the same.
Waited for 2008 and Glad
Almost bot 2005 Montego but backed out at the last minute. Was nervous over engine and quirky CVT. '08 offer sufficent power, smooth 6 spd trany. All other features - space, ride, safety, still there. USA Today auto editor said that front end bounces too much over sharp bumps. I can't find this at all. Some have said that 6 spd trans too slow to downshift and "hunts" too much for right gear. I disagree again. Exterior design may not be a medal winner but certainly not ugly. Is some tire noise w/ 18" Pirelli's but no where near a deal breaker. A very underated car.

From Montego to Sable
After 65,000 good miles, mostly highway, on a '05 Montego with only one latent factory defect that was readily fixed, I traded for a new Sable. About the only thing I really wanted was a built in satellite radio. After putting about 800 miles on the Sable I think Ford has just about got it right with the changes between the two models. Both are very roomy and comfortable on long trips.
Best Family Sedan Ever.
The new 2008 Mercury Sable is great it has all the features you could ever want at a price you can afford. The new Sable's 3.5L V6 has plenty of horsepower to move the car without any problems and the engine is good on gas so far on highway driving I have manage an excellent 29.2mpg. I love the overall design of the Sable. It looks like a big Milan. The interior is comfortable with plenty of leg and headroom. The materials are great quality. I love the wood trims and the clock in the dash. I think it looks really classy. Also the Sable was rated the safest full-size sedan in America so I feel secure knowing my family is always safe. I really could not ask for a better car. It has been great so far.
Fantastic Car
I wanted to move up to an import luxury car and spent time looking at Lexus, Acura and Audi first. My last stop was the Lincoln-Mercury dealer. I drove the MKZ and then the salesman suggested I try the new Sable. I was reluctant but figured since I was there anyway I might as well try it. What a car! $20,000-40,000 less than the imports with all the bells and whistles. I was so shocked I had to go back 3 times to make sure. This car is a steal! The Sync system is terrific and the car is so damn comfortable I can hardly believe it. Ford has a winner here that appears to have been overlooked by the media and auto pundits.
