I've now had my Sable for 2 1/2 years and 50,000+ miles with not a single problem. I'm amazed and saddened that they've discontinued building it, but I guess that's the way of the world. It's not flashy, just a good quality automobile with plenty of room and so comfortable to drive. The Sync system is very convenient and the all wheel drive and heated seats make our brutal Chicago winters bearable. I'll keep this car as long as I can and then go back for whatever Ford/ Lincoln-Mercury offers in it's place. This car spells Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y and reliability at an affordable price.
Best car I ever had

This car rocks. Very classy, great sound system and the sync is awesome for anyone who lives by a pda. I get compliments everywhere I go. Folks think it is German quite often. Then they see Sable and go "WOW". I get 28 mpg at 68mph around 19 in town carrying as as much gear as folks pack in their SUV. I cant understand why they quit making it. I only wish it had a manual shift tranny like the LS I traded in. It does have a a high profile and looks kind of funky from directly behind but not as much as say a Volvo or a SAAB. Previous cars: Lincoln LS, BMW 535, VW Passat, Grand Cherokee Limited.

I loved my car. I bought it used about 5 years ago. I drove it and loved it. Did regular oil changes and made sure to take car of this car. Right after owning this car for 5 years I was on my way to work. When I got about half way to work the RPM's went all over the place. The car started Jerking like crazy. The car would not go above 50 which meant that I could not even do the speed limit. The car was loud. It was horrible. I managed to get it to the parking lot of my work place. I then had this car towed to my mechanic and turns out that It needs a whole transmission. I'm really sad about this because I loved this car and now I have to say good bye to my car.

Axle gasket has been replaced twice and is going in for a 3rd time to get fixed due to leaking again! Car stalls while it is in motion when air conditioner is on. It also stalls while idling. I will be driving and the car just shuts down on its own. Mercury dealership says there is nothing wrong with it. I bet they change their minds when I go off the road due to no power of any kind when it stalls. Seat warmer has a burning smell when it is on for more that 5 minutes. Not happy!
