Overview & Reviews

A new child safety-seat restraint system is in place as well as a larger 18-gallon fuel tank. There's also a clearcoat metallic paint swap, trading Tropic Green for Spruce Green. Otherwise, no changes for the recently freshened Sable.

• Excellent value for the money, high level of safety, available as a sedan or a wagon.

• Rental car stigma, front seats lack comfort, no rear disc brakes on the sedan.

  Good solid car - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By ljd - December 27 - 5:43 pm

  Bought a 2001 Sable LS Premium new and put 71,000 miles on it over 6 years. Just traded it in for a different brand. I miss my Sable! Excellent ride quality, loaded with luxury features, great stereo system, elegant styling. 21 MPG in town, 28 MPG highway. Very reliable.

  As a former Lincoln Driver, I was surprised as to how much better all around the Sable is. Performance is outstanding, ride is nice and tight, handles great.

  would buy this again - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By irishtoo - January 20 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car on the A-Plan, and have never regretted it for a second.It just turned 40k miles. I love this car! Id much rather drive it than my moms Grand Marquis. I can actually feel the road in my Sable. Ive owned imports before and loved them, but never like this! This car is very roomy, comfortable, quiet and performs well. I did have a little trouble with the transmission, but another dealer fixed it right up. Never had any problem with getting stuff done under warranty, either. The extended warranty is definitely the way to go! Ive had plenty of compliments on my car. My husband just wishes Id let him drive it more often!

  Happy Sable - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By FrumpyBru - August 12 - 2:00 am

  I was looking to buy a used vehicle, and I got this 2001 Mercury Sable. It is very comfortable to drive. It halndles very well on the freeway and city driving. It is very roomy for the passengers in the back seat. The trunk has lots of space. It is very attractive also on the body style. I am very proud to have purchased this car. I will never go to driving any other make of car now!

  a/c concerns - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By bw - July 7 - 9:26 am

  i am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. the a/c moduole and door have been replaced and keep quitting on me. i believe it is an electrical problem since the unit works when it plugged in again(after tearing down the car and hours doing so) the dealership said it was the module and door but something shorts the motor module that controls the door that closes for a/c and heating control. the cost can go above $600 to tear it down again. we have 53,000 miles on it. the sable LS with 24 valve engine. any ideas?

  Auto Review - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Lenny L - March 26 - 10:00 am

  With both rear seats down, I find the Cargo space is comparable to 80% of the SUVs on the market. This vehicle is an excellent alternative for someone who needs cargo space but does not want to endure the harsh road handling traits of most SUVs with their poor gas mileage. Excellent performance from its Duratek V6 Engine, lots of passing power. Great road handling ability makes it a pleasure to drive.

  My Mercury Sable Experience - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Machoii - November 23 - 6:43 pm

  This car has performed beautifully. No major repairs. Required 2 minor repairs during entire ownership, both under warranty. I am not happy with the leather interior, in that one small section on each door had to be replaced, having loosened and came off. Had to have front-end alignment package installed before being aligned. This equipment should be standard.

  History - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By josiebaby - August 6 - 10:00 am

  The only major problem I had was a dead battery which of course happened while shopping in a mall. Making con tact with the road service that comes with the warranty proved a little frustrating, due to fact that the person on the other end did not speak english very well. Other than that the service to the vehicle was excellent

  GREAT CAR!!!! - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By gomeixel - July 25 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car for the price!! It has lots of room for a family, but it is still very stylish. A very safe, sound car to drive. Did great in crash tests ratings. Has adjustable gas and brake pedal, so you can sit as far as possible from the airbag. We love this car and will definetly purchase again!!

  Great Family Sedan - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By sable2001 - May 11 - 2:00 am

  We have had this car for over 3 years now and it has not had one single problem. It drives great and has a classy look to it inside and out. I recently purchased a Mountaineer and considered trading this car in instead of our older one, but my wife would not part with it!
