Overview & Reviews
Not much has changed for Mercury's 2003 Sable. All cars feature a new cupholder design, and the LS Premium trim level offers a no-charge leather trim. Mercury claims that "customers who appreciate understated sophistication will want to know more about the Platinum Edition," which includes aluminum wheels with a center cap ornament and interior trim pieces, perforated leather and a fender badge. Power windows, locks, tilt steering and floor mats are standard across the board, and two new colors brighten up the Sable.
- Excellent value for the money, high level of safety, available as a sedan or a wagon.
- Forgettable rental car persona, not as refined as other cars in its class, ABS available as option only.

Great Value...Safe and Reliable - 2003 Mercury Sable
By Mercster - February 7 - 6:56 pmVery safe and reliable car for us. Drives smooth and quiet you can talk in normal tone on the highway. The doors close with a heavy clunk. Trunk space is great...we fit all our camping gear and still have room left over. The car now has 60k and still running strong (bought at 20k). Replaced front brakes at 40k and new battery but that is it. Love to take it on long trips. We drove cross- country in it in less than 3-days (NY to AZ) no problems driving virtually non-stop. We do the maintenance as required...change oil and just replaced cooling and transmission fluid. This is our third Sable/Taurus and the other 2 have served us well as well (over 100k each).

Mercury Sable- A very good American car - 2003 Mercury Sable
By Bill Francis - December 15 - 10:00 amI think the Sable is one of the most underrated vehicles on the road today. I have test driven the new Camry and while I liked it, I much prefer the Sable for overall performance, interior style, and even the exterior styling in spite of being somewhat dated. It is still a very attractive car. This is our 5th. Sable, after a four year hiatus with two Lincoln Continentals. Believe me, there is no $20,000 difference in these cars, which is the variance in the sticker price of the two vehicles. I really wonder why all the Auto Rags talk up the rice burners and down-play the American iron. Buy American.

Great alternative to minivans & SUVs! - 2003 Mercury Sable
By HappyBuckeye - January 20 - 10:00 amAfter considering several minivans and SUVs to fill the role of our family vehicle we selected a Mercury Sable LS Wagon. Its a great value loaded with so many extras, very comfortable, great incentive laden financing and it carries 8 passengers!

Best Family Value! - 2003 Mercury Sable
By Jon - August 26 - 10:00 amI got a LS Premium in Red with a gold Pinstripe that makes it look very attractive. I have the optional Duratec engine That is very powerful and is good for passing people on the highway. It also gets pretty good gas mileage. Rides very smooth and decently quiet inside. The leather is great and the seats are very supportive. Lots of trunk room too. Great for if you have three kids.

Buyer beware 2003 Sable will cost you money - 2003 Mercury Sable
By HMILLER2 - February 6 - 7:10 pmThe car seemed to to be a good but when you compair all the known specs at the time of purchase but after a few years look out! This car model is no worse than the support from Ford Motor who just does not care in my opinion. I bought the extended warranty so I have had some protection. When you look at what others have had to repair you will see a pattern. First the A/C goes up after about 2-3 years. Then the door seals leak they needed to be replaced. The car does not burn E85 fuel as listed by Ford. Runs rough and chokes on mixed fuel. The list goes on but now after just 41,500 miles I need spark plug wires.
