My sweet Merc has let me down.

It is still very comfortable and fun to drive especially on Hwy trips. I have experienced extensive repairs to the engine, computer and now the 6 speed automatic transmission. I still enjoy the car but with the thousands of dollars in repairs I considered junking this sweet car before it reached its 50,000 mile birthday! I will have a tough time agreeing to a Ford Motor CO’s product. My girlfriends 2008 Malibu has had almost no repairs in its first 100,014 miles. That’s right an American car!

This is my third Sable. I was so hoping to fall in love with another car so I could venture away from the same car-again. For price, comfort and amenities-there is no other car to love. I test drove the MKZ but the Sable has as many creature comforts but with a larger interior, same mileage. Time will tell if it's as reliable as my other two-both exceeded 150,000 miles.

This has been a great car in all conditions. All wheel drive has been marvelous in two exceptionally brutal Chicago winters. Sync system is a joy. Heated seats, navigation system and all the other goodies have also stood up well. A true reliable and dependable full sized american sedan.

Second Best New Car I've Bought

The car rides great, is quiet as anything and the comfort is wonderful. There is plenty of room for relatives, who my wife and I drive around fairly often. While the fuel economy may not be great to some, it is much better than my previous two vehicles, an Explorer and a Grand Voyager, and a great deal better than the most comfortable new car I ever bought, a 1972 Buick Electra 225.
