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.

  Doug Millers 2001 Sable Review - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Doug Miller - June 1 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Sable for over 2 years and I am very pleased with my overall experiance. I have not grown tired of the looks both inside and out. Although, I wonder how I will feel when Ford decides to do a total make over. I have not had any service issues and I have it routinely maintained every 5K miles.

  By ajstock - May 7 - 2:00 am

  Owned LS Premium for 20 months. Cannt get wife out of drivers seat. As attractive as competing Japanese models, good pep & handling, VERY ROOMY for mid size (better than Japanese choices); we are frequently complimented on the car by friends.

  Great Car for the Money - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Dreamer - February 5 - 10:00 am

  A lot of car for the money. Has a big car ride. Very comfortable with a secure feeling as far as road handling, particularly on a highway.

  Last of the real wagons - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Dennis - October 28 - 8:43 pm

  Comfortable car on long trips that can haul all of the gear without a problem. Excellent high speed stability and power with reasonable gas mileage. Outmatches most SUVs in all categories but getting kids in and out.

  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!

  Junk-Do Not Purchase - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By molesnevich - December 10 - 2:00 am

  Rotors warp every 8,000 miles. Poor braking distance. Transmission shift bad, sounds good but goes no where & I feel it will not make to my 60,000 mile lease end like my Tauras, Constantly out of alignment. Eats Tires every 12,000 miles even if rotated. Poor handling car. Rattles underneath.

  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?
