  Decent Ride - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By Skywatcher1138 - January 21 - 12:16 pm

  This is the first car I ever owned. Bought it as a used rental in late 2002. Ive had it ever since. Its been a great car. No major mechanical issues, except wear & tear stuff. Had to recently replace the thermostat & the inner tie rods. The car drives well. Not the fastest on the block, but decent for a sedan. Very good gas mileage. I do mostly highway driving & usually get 24-26 mpg.

  I know I will get 300,000 miles - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By Andrew - June 30 - 10:43 am

  I needed a comuter car so it needed to be reliable. Pat Goss from Auto week mentioned that the drivetrain was bulletproof now I see why. My car is at its 5th owner and starts strong every time. I would have liked to have the LS with the 200hp but with switching the air filter to a K&N and using 93 octane fuel gets me close. I actually feel it gets better performance because with the LS the power is all top end. Peak torque starts at 2500 rpm so with only slight presure on the gas she moves. For handling all I needed to do was change to lower profile tires, now it will and has out cornered BMWs.

  Very Solid Car - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By Not even Ford people - May 14 - 4:03 am

  My wife and I have a truck and a car so we normally take the car everywhere we go because it is a better ride and has better gas millage. I have no problem keeping this 02 until 2010.

  Thrid Sable Wagon - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By Matt - December 24 - 7:13 pm

  Its now a trend. I have had 3 Mercury Sables in a row for a family car. Reliable, low maintenance and incredibly safe (I had a fender bender with a car full of kids). The style is a little stodgy, but its not a minivan. The 3.0 L engines are very reliable and the Duratec is the best of the bunch. Dont poo-poo the versatility of the Sable wagon vs. a SUV or van. It can handle enough people for comfort and excuse you from stuffing the whole Tee ball team in the same insane vehicle. Buy one, youll like it.

  Company car - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By mickydees - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Car drives well on the road but there seems to be a lot of wind noise around the windshield. And of course, there is a recall notice on this vehicle, Ford leads the world in recall notices.

  So far so good - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By GBRachel - March 15 - 5:43 am

  I have owned a 2001 Sable for over seven months now and have been pleased. The build quality is good with no obvious flaws but not as refined as more expensive cars. The engine is powerful and responsive but hampered by a transmission that cant seem to decide when it wants to shift under certain conditions. Although rental companies have large quantities of Sables on their lots, no one has ever asked me if my car was in the shop.

  Good all around car, great bang for the buck. I bought it 2yrs old with 20k for 10k. Only replaced the wiper moter and the battery. When it is time to replace the tires go with the best tires you can afford it will make a world a differnce
