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.

Flawless Thus Far - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Jamestown Joe - May 25 - 12:13 pm2001 Sable LS premier purchased new and driven 56,000 to date without any mechanical issues whatsoever. Still has original brakes and rotors and all other original components. Drives, rides and handles exactly as when purchased. Great value considering all the options included with the Premium model. The 24 valve Durotec engine is smooth and powerful. Recently I have suffered from the new car itch so have been test driving new 2007 vehicles of similar size (domestic and foreign) and cant find sufficient differences to justify trading in the Sable. Perhaps I just " lucked out" but so this has been a great car.

Love it, love it - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Ed Edmundson - May 1 - 8:36 amAbsolutely love my Sable. The ride and handling is absolutely the perfect mix. Great performance in mountain driving here in New Mexico, and will just glide across the desert 85 miles per hour all day quietly and smoothly getting 33 mpg highway and an amazing 29 in town. I have a bad back, and these are the best seats ever. When my back hurts, I just go for a drive in the Sable, and Im fixed. Have had a couple of minor mechanical issues. Had to replace the serpentine belt tensioner and EGR valve, but big deal. Car makes me feel like I am driving a luxury car, and beautiful to boot.

A Favorite! - 2001 Mercury Sable
By LS - March 27 - 5:46 pmI bought this 2 years old and I enjoy driving it everyday. wonderful interior space, comfortable seats, kids like to use the 3rd seat. Quiet, powerful, smooth ride. Im sorry that theyve discontinued this model. Im a wagon lover. I like that it has a granny image and is not a status symbol. Makes it more of a surprise to guests.

Happy owner - 2001 Mercury Sable
By 30 somthing - January 23 - 10:00 amThis car is truly a bargin! I have had over 27 cars and for the price it is the most comfortable and refined car Ive had. The 24 valve v6 is great 200hp and I get 22mpg around town and have hit 31mpg on long highway trips. Th leather seats are a must, you just melt right in to them and not hard like a BMW and more comfortable than my mothers E320 Mercedes with leather seating. If your not chasing after the Jonses, the the LS sable is a bargine

Money Wasted - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Bha45146 - January 8 - 3:20 pmI bought this car used with only 80,000 miles on it. 3 days after purchase the trans went out, thank god for 30 day warranties, but then the blower for the heater went out, the wiring for the AC burnt up so now no heat or air, coils burnt out, the drivers side window keeps getting stuck, will go down but not back up,even put a new window motor in it 3 times, still have this problem. I paid $5,000 for the car and have put $4,000 in it and still have nothing but junk!

Nice - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Lydia - January 2 - 12:50 amThis car is in my family and I drive it sometimes. My dad loves it. It had only minor problems in the almost 3 years weve had it including this freaky thing where the left passenger side window shattered out of nowhere. It has 50,000 something miles and is still doing great.

A bargin for what you get - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Helmut / New York - November 1 - 10:00 amThis is my 3rd new Mercury Sable LS with the 3.0/V6 200HP engine, and I put on 37.000 Miles on the last one in a year without one problem. I get 30+ MPG on the highway and the engine performes great. You cant beat the price/value aspect of this car, especially as a used vehicle. Would buy again!

Buy it - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Hap - August 14 - 10:00 amThis is a great car! After 11,000 miles, we have not returned to the dealer once, for anything. This car is surprisingly quick and smooth and it runs on regular gas. We got every feature there is for less than the base price of a SUV. Its an incredible value and really very nice to drive. The re-design in 2000 was a necessity; we would not have purchased this car othewise.

Great Car - 2001 Mercury Sable
By Tony - February 12 - 9:20 pmI have owned this car for 7 years. The only thing Ive done is change tires and a battery. Car drives like a sports car and rides like a Lincoln. Great handling in mountain curves.
