This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Excellent value for the money, high level of safety, available as a sedan or a wagon.
Cons:
  • Forgettable rental car persona, not as refined as other cars in its class, ABS available as option only.

  • Really like my Sable - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    I am really bonding with my Sable - as I drive about 40,000 miles per year and my car is my major tool. I appreciate this car more every day. The ride is firm yet comfortable. Radio and heater/AC controls are ergonomically well placed. Ride is very nice. Purchased this car with 17,000 miles on it for $11,400. How can you beat that? Excellent everyday work mobile.

  • Stylish, affordable car - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    This car is serving us well so far, It has a comfy, big interior. A somewhat smooth ride thats usually disturbed only by the worst bumps. Passing power is good and the engine is smooth when warmed up but kind of raggy sounding when its cold.

  • The Feel Of Luxury In A Mid Price Car - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    I have had my Sable LS since 12-02 and have fallen in love with it. I have had no maintenance problems. I feel that it offers superior comfort in a mid priced car. It is extremely easy to drive and has many features of cars more expensive.

  • Great family car buy - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    If you are looking for a roomy, reliable family car - this is the one. I test drove the Accord, great car but seems it had shrunk over the previous years models in drivers room - the adjustable pedals on the LS premium and power adjustable driver seat make for a great ride. I test drove other midsize cars such as Camry and GrandAm and Dodge Intrepid, but found that the Mercury offered more bang for the buck. Sunroof, adj. pedals, leather interior, side impact beams all came with the LS premium packaged for much less than the other vehicles driven.

  • Decent car - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    This car is pretty nice to drive, but its nothing special. Weve owned this car for 5 years now and still nothing really stands out as special. It gets pretty good gas mileage under 55 mpg on the highway. Also, once it gets to about a quarter tank of gas, the fuel pump shuts off. We had to push it over a mile to a gas station, I mean, what a stupid design failure. Overall, this car is not very impressive

  • Why would anyone buy Japanese - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    Mercury has a HOME run with this car. If our experience is anything like our last Sable 140,000 with NOTHING but regular maint. This Sable has more features and cost less than the 97. Camry, Accord, what are you nuts.

  • Better Than Expected - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    Was surprised to find this car has the same if not more features than the Jaguar X-Type! Plenty of go from the 3.0L, smooth, stable, quiet ride. Sound system is decent for stock, more than enough trunk space. Plenty of cubby holds to store things, love the compass/auto-dimming mirror.

  • Daves - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    Great car. This is my first Mercury and by far the best car I have ever driven in 45 years.

  • FOR THE MONEY - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    THE AUTOMOBILE I RECIEVED ( IN BLACK, WITH CHROME WHEELS )WAS PERFECT. EVERYTHING ON IT WORKED. THE ONLY THING I WISH FORD SHOULD HAVE DONE, WAS TO PUT DICS ON THE REAR WHEELS. ENOUGH HOSEPOWER TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B.

  • Im happy - 2003 Mercury Sable
    By -

    This is my 3rd Sable, They keep getting better. This is a great car at a very affordable price. The dealership is great!
