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.

I have owned the AWD Sable Premier for two months and absolutely love it. If you are looking for a sport sedan - look elsewhere, but if you are looking for a great ride, high safety, and a great value - buy this car. The AWD system is great for snow and ice. Passenger comfort is exceptional - More room in the back seat than the 300. For both city and highway driving, we have averaged 20 mpg.

A Great Car

My 2007 Motego was a very good car. The Sable is even better. Better ride, much better performance. I've driven it 4,500 miles in all kinds of conditions including mountain driving. It performed very well under all conditions. Highway mileage equals or exceeds 28MPG and around town ranges from 17 to 20MPG. The first 1,000 miles I did experience a little delay in downshifting but now it does fine. I would definitely recommend this car to all types of drivers. It's quick enough, has an excellent ride and is quiet. What more can you ask for?

This is a large car, the fuel economy is excellent for a car of this size. Considered Toyota and Honda, but this one has better design and much better price. Very quiet, good view, huge trunk.

10 days & 500 miles. Sticker is $32K, got $2k off from the dealer and $2k factory rebate. I am pleased & impressed. This is a lot of automobile for $28K. I can't believe Ford is not advertising this vehicle. Fit & finish is on par with any Honda or Toyota. While not a Vette or Lincoln Town Car, this is a powerful, smooth, comfortable, roomy & quite vehicle. Huge back seat and huge trunk, not to mention with the trunk passtru & passenger front seat down, you can carry 9 foot items ! SYNC with my Verizon LG cellphone & Apple iPod is fantastic! While gas mileage is not exactly outstanding, one must remember that this is a large (safe) vehicle with AWD.
