Overview & Reviews
Minor changes include a new front-end treatment with new foglights on the LS Premium, six-spoke alloy wheels as standard equipment on the LS Premium, new taillights on the sedan and new exterior badging. Inside, there's a new steering wheel with lighted cruise control buttons (LS Premium model only), and a 60/40-split rear seat is now standard on all Sables.
- Excellent value for the money, above-average levels of safety and cabin space, available as a sedan or a wagon.
- Forgettable rental car persona, not as refined as other cars in its class.

I love this big solid car - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Cashfan - December 18 - 10:00 amMy main concern when buying a car is safety and the Sable ranks as one of the safest on the highway.Safety aside it is roomy inside with a spacious trunk.It has a good clean body style that is easy to wash and wax.The dashboard is laid out well and easy to see.And I cant imagine not having the mileage counter that tells you how many more miles you can go before needing to stop for gas. The inside is comfortable and nicely done.For my money Ford offers the best paint job of any car maker and the paint and chrome make this Sable an eye catcher as you ride safely down the road.

Great car - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Luv It - October 21 - 4:13 pmPurchased this 04 Sable LS with 7800 miles on it from a dealership in Brandeton, Fl. The exterior design is beautiful and it is a classy looking car. The interior cabin is all leather and it is one of the most comfortable cars I have driven including those so- called luxury cars. The gas mileage could be better,(17mpg city,and 22mpg on the highway) Driving this car on the highway is like sitting in your living room in a very comfortable leather chair. You have very little feeling of motion and you do not feel the road at all. The sound system is quite good and the A/C climate control is wonderful. Set the interior temperature and relax in comfort. Great car!! 2005 is the last model yr.

So Far So Good - Part V - 2004 Mercury Sable
By 04SableDriver - June 19 - 2:10 amNoooo idea who this review is for, but what the hell...here goes. Just shy of 36K and alls well. My Sable GS has yet to experience a single mechanical failing (the starter issue I mentioned in earlier posts thankfully hasnt resurfaced), and the car rides as well as when new. Thusly, Ive nothing new to report. My cars all one would expect; roomy, smooth riding and dull as your kitchen blender. Despite that dearth of flash however, I wholeheartedly recommend the Sable as a solid commuter tool, and accordingly as a "safe" used car buy.

Beautiful and practical station wagon - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Peter - December 6 - 2:36 pmThe medium red color and exterior look of this wagon elicit many second looks. It has been a very satisfactory car thus far. I have had no problems with the car. The large storage space in this relatively long wagon has been great for lugging purchases and for long trips. Eight foot lumber items are no problem with the rear door closed. All in all I am very satisfied.

140,000 miles and going strong - 2004 Mercury Sable
By denx5 - November 25 - 6:56 pmI bought my 04 Sable in the spring of 05. It was a program car and I got a great deal on it. Its been absolutely problem free from day one. Only oil changes, 1 set of tires and 1 set of brake pads. It has really sold me on Ford products again. Currently looking for another program car just coming off lease. I saved a ton over new car cost and definitely got my moneys worth. Next car will be an 08 Sable, probably another program car. You know old ladies drive em so theyre not abused. Oh yeah, it seems like this 3.0 duratec gets better with age. The car feels like it has more power than it did at 20K which is how many miles it had when I bought it.

What a Surprise - 2004 Mercury Sable
By TallChris - November 4 - 10:00 amI bought a loaded 2000 LS premium a couple years ago. I loved the car then and I love it now. I would recommend the Sable LS premium to anyone. Ive put more than $60K on the car without a problem. It looks great inside and out, the sound system has held up well despite my playing it loud enough to shake the windows of neighboring cars. The best part is the performance, the 200 hp 3.0 still runs like a top, and sprints hard when asked. I took a 1,600 mile road trip last summer and despite driving 90 mph I averaged 27 mpg. Im 68" and guarantee there isnt another car in the price range that is nearly as comfortable--I drove them all.

A Lot for the Money - 2004 Mercury Sable
By Boomer1 - October 9 - 10:00 amI have a C-5 Corvtte that I want to last a long time, thus I added the Sable for routine driving. It is not flashy or super at anythigng, but it is a very comfortble, roomy, peppy (with the 24v engine)and well equipped sedan. With ABS, leather seating, automatic adusting rear view mirror, all power, auto climate control, traction control and side air bags, it cost less than $19,000. I get about 20 mpg in town and 30 on the road. This Sableis the quietest vehicle I have owned. My wifet Maxima seems much noiser by contrast.
