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.

  Sable-Hidden pearl in the mid-size sea - 2003 Mercury Sable
  By E. Brinson - August 28 - 2:00 am

  I looked around for a while to find a nice mid-size sedan. In the process, I looked at the usual suspects (Camry, Acord and Altima). They are nice cars, but the Sable was roomer with comparable features and for significantly less dollars, plus a V6 engine is standard on the Sable. I would strongly recommend that you look at the Sable as well as the "usual suspects". To me, it was the best value for my buck. I feel like Im driving a much more expensive car and its pretty fun to drive.

  This Ones a Sleeper - 2003 Mercury Sable
  By Richard - July 13 - 12:16 pm

  Bought this car used with 31K miles in 2005. Its more than met my expectations. Handsome, spacious, easy to drive, good build quality, comfortable for long trips. If you are looking for a performance car to push to its limits, look elsewhere. If you are considering this vehicle as a used car, take advantage of the weak resale value and enjoy it.

  Magnificent Mid-size - 2003 Mercury Sable
  By falsesmall - July 10 - 4:26 pm

  After 100,000 miles this car is a dream. The premium model is chock full of options that leave you wanting nothing. This a "true" mid-size sedan that looks and rides great. Interior design is conservative yet attractive. Controls are logically laid out. Excellent climate control. Handling is precise enough..what you would expect in a car of this size and weight. I love the solid feel and feel quite safe with the side airbags and ABS. Duratec six cylinder is powerful and, with the 4 speed automatic/overdrive, smooth as silk. Frankly the best engine/trans marriage I think I ever owned, new or used. Luxury and power at a great pre-owned price tag. This is an American car done right.
