  The sable is good. It reminds me of a Ford Taurus. It should be driven by more people.

  my mercury sable 4dr ls - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By hohmaniii - March 29 - 10:00 am

  Researched vehicle online (edmunds to be exact), prior to purchase safety was paramount and this vehicle rated with the imports. Tried new cavalier (sardine can)new monte carlo (too stiff)and one other car i cant remember. took the sable out for a test drive tapped the accelerator and experienced my first case of whiplash. Turned around went back to dealership and bought it.Car has been trouble free (changed brake pads 68,000), (tires at 60,000)and windshield wipers. Had one headlamp bulb failure simple repair. I am in the market for another car and the mercury dealer will be my first stop. I may buy somethingelse but it will be a hard sell.

  1997 Sable LS 3.0 DOHC - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By Privet Sale - January 21 - 8:56 pm

  I love the look, ride and feel of this car. The 200HP DOHC engine makes the car. The gas mileage is OK for a 6cyl. It handles a lot better than I would have thought. The streering has a great feel to it and the brakes stop it on a dime. The only complaint I have is the radio/heater control pod. It doesnt easily allow you to put a better stereo in it without buying an expensive dash plate.

  ugly car but a great car - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By Sarah - September 19 - 8:20 pm

  I really didnt want to buy this car. I thought it was ugly as could be. But the motor had blown in my other car and I needed a new one quick that was pretty cheap. We got it for like 3500 with only like 80K miles. It has run like a champ with no problems at all! Rides very smooth, even at high speeds. Im looking for a new car now only because we are about to have another child and need a bigger car. It has almost 160K miles and still nothing wrong with it.

  Cydnis Car Named Poopsie - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By Cydni - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I have had only minor problems with my transmission. Now I am in the process of getting those fixed. When you purchase a used car you have to be aware youll have to fix the mistakes of the previous owners. Nevertheless I love my car, and she loves me. It has been back and forth from Chicago to Alabama 3 times since I purchased it...NO PROBLEMS !!!!

  Great car - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By zikj - February 1 - 10:00 am

  Car has 170,000 miles and still going strong. Only a few minor issues that you might expect after 100,000 miles. Camshaft sensor went out, rear wheels have gone out of alignment requiring some filing and the transmission acted up at 130,000 miles but then corrected itself (go figure). Overall a great vehicle and believe it will go well past 200,000 miles. Would buy another. Great handling, style, comfort, quiet and reliable.

  Fantastic car - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By Gina - March 20 - 12:23 pm

  Bought my Sable used/private with 79000 miles on it 5 years ago. Now has 200000 miles and is not ready to go yet! I have had no major problems with this car! I commute 80 miles daily-car loves the hwy, great mileage. Car now has some issues (fixable) but probably because of age and life. Driving it to the end. Next car will be newer Taurus as cant get the Sable anymore. Cant say enough about this car. Very comfortable and powerful ride. Both interior and exterior is quite sleek. Easy to get parts. Big trunk, lots of leg room, power everything! Highly recommended. Will miss it.

  Great Family Car - 1997 Mercury Sable
  By dhoening - November 27 - 2:00 am

  Very good family car. We drove it all over Texas with 4 adults (actually 2 adults and two very big teenage boys). No complaints. Plenty of room, large trunk, and rides very nice. And its gets great highway mileage as well.
