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.

  Reviewing the 2001 Sable LS Premium - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By mgparry - October 28 - 2:00 am

  Pro: it is a fun car to drive with great feel for the road. The 24 valve engine has significant power for passing, etc. Variable position brake and accelerator pedal convenient for the best driving position. Con: seats may be too firm for some drivers. Some wind noise on the hwy.

  Best Sable of three Ive had - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Joe Garibaldi - September 29 - 7:10 am

  Comfortable, lots of guts, smooth. Others that drive it like it. Never had any major work (until this month). Rough idling when warmed up, diagnosed as burnt valve. Covered under factory warranty. Two weeks so far, waiting for repair. Informed it will be another week. Dealer says burnt valve is a very unusual thing. They never say this before (large dealership). Other than that, I like the car, but am now leary. This would be a very expensive repair if not covered under warranty.

  Love it, love it - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Ed Edmundson - May 1 - 8:36 am

  Absolutely 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 pm

  I 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 am

  This 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

  A bargin for what you get - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Helmut / New York - November 1 - 10:00 am

  This 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!

  Great Car - 2001 Mercury Sable
  By Tony - February 12 - 9:20 pm

  I 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.

  24 valve engine very responsive with good gas mileage...extremely reliable thus far. Very good manufacturing detail. Only problem was a brake pedal recall.

  By Thomas - June 5 - 3:40 pm

  I purchased my 01 Sable LS Premium in Sept.2000 and i have loved it and took great care of it since then my Sable is great it has a smooth ride and for the most part its very quiet and it handles very well the V6 engine performs well to be a 3.0L with 200HP and i just enjoy driving it i have never had any problems with it it runs as well now as it did when i bought it the interior is of good quality the wood grain could be nicer and it has plenty of space front and rear and the trunk space is amazing and my Sable looks just like the one edmunds has pictured above except mine has a chrome grille instead of black one.So if you own a Mercury Sable you have got a wonderful car and i Love them ..
