I own a 2008 Ford Expedition EL, although I love the vehicle it's extremely harsh on gas. I'm averaging 10 mpg. Mostly I do alot of in town driving, so I decided to pickup something more fuel efficient and not drive my Expedition as much. I purchased a precertified 2008 Mercury Sable with about 14,000 miles. I've had it for a little over a month. I love the car. It's spacious on the inside and my three kids ages 15, 12 & 5 have plenty of room in the back seat.The car came out of the rental fleet and I'm dealing with an alignment issue, but other than that I'm pleased with the car. I like it so well that I'm already thinking 3 to 4 years down the road taking a serious look at the new Taurus
Sits like SUV - Comfortable - Peppy

I bought this car new because of the taller seats which sit more like an SUV or F150 pickup truck. Easy to get in and out of & greater road visibility. Has given me good service, gets 23 or 24 MPG on curvy hilly roads and get better than that on straight roads. Love the stick selector for hi beam or low beam headlights, push forward for hi beam & pull back for lo beam. Love large trunk & seats fold if needing to haul longer items. Peppy enough to pass cars quickly.

Nice car if not for all the faulty "Bells and Wistles".

For the most part the car can well and drove nice. The interior and exterior quality was good. However, the Memory Seats, Power Seats, Heated Seats and Heat and A/C controls were problems from the very start. Each were repaired multiple times under the warranty. After the warranty expired problems with power seats and A/C occurred again. Ford would not peform the repairs under the 12 month 12,000 mile warranty as they said the parts that failed were not the same as the parts repaired the previous year, even though the symptoms of the problem were identical. Finally traded it in on a Foreign car. Can't afford a Ford.
Better Than Cadillac

My last car was a very nice Cadillac STS, but I honestly like the Sable a lot better. I have owned my '08 Sable for just over a year and have 41,000 miles. I've had no trouble whatsoever. It has a much roomier interior than my Cadillac. The platform seems higher than most cars so it's easier to get into and out of and visibility is great while driving. The hands free phone through Synch is great. I think it's a better car than the Cadillac -- at about half the price. I highly recommend it!

This is our second Sable, the first was a 1997, and fourth Ford product. As time goes by it seems the quality does not get better. My 1997 Sable was a better vehicle than the 08. At first it was a smooth operating vehicle, after about 20k it developed transmission problem. The Radio/CD player broke and the suspension started to go. Now it is in the shop for an unknown problem, every light on the dash came on , its like the car put itself in safe mode. Don't get me wrong, this is a good vehicle with plenty of room, a strong AC and decent mileage on the highway. Test drive before you drive, after a while it will sound like a lawnmower inside and the transmission will shift hard.
