  • Awesome car - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    I just had an extremely serious wreck at 65mph where I ended up on the opposite of the freeway upside down. My car did not pancake. The rear glass did not break, the doors did not cave in, I sustained no injury. I wish I could find another one just like it!

  • wish we wouldnt have bought it!! - 2000 Mercury Sable

    Wish we wouldnt have bought it. During the first month of ownership it was in the shop twice for motor/transmission problems. Here it is, 9 months later and it needs engine work again!! prior to owning this car we loved our Taurus, but because of this experience we will never own another Ford/Mercury product!!!

  • Oh such fun! - 2000 Mercury Sable

    This car is so much fun to drive. The seats are comfortable, the size is just right, and the engine is so responsive.

  • Solid, dependable, versatile vehicle - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    Purchased this car used with 9k mi. Car has been relatively inexpensive to maintain, remains solid and has provided unfailing dependability. Currently has 130k mi. Not an exciting car, but is solid and safe feeling. Smooth highway ride. I call it my 4-wheeled sofa. Has the tried and true base 6-cylinder as I was a bit wary of the more powerful 24-valve 6 cyl. Factory brakes were poor, but once after market brakes put on, no problem. Adequate performance, very useful for family trips, 18-20mpg city, 24-25mpg highway on regular gas. Still running on stock transmission with no signs of problems. Dash, upholstery, and paint remain in excellent condition. Plan to keep for 2 more dependable years.

  • My 2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    I have had this car 1 month shy of 3 years. It has 25,000 miles on it. I really like the car. The interior, paint, & 24 valve V6 are all great. Like others have stated on the 2000 Sable there have been too many recalls of which most were not necessary (in my opinion). My car also has a very slight oil leak and a rear window/trunk leak which 2 different dealers can not fix. They are annoying little problems that should have been fixed. Ford needs to get there designs tested before sending them out to the consumer. There "Quality is Job 1" is a joke. The little problems that I have had and the number of recalls should have been caught.

  • Best Sedan in the world - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    This is a great vehicle!!

  • under rated sports sedan - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    I have owned a Mustang GT and Camaro Z28, Grand AM GT. I like quick cars but family demands and shoe horning oneself into a car isnt much fun. I needed a sedan that was within my budget and had good handeling, accelerates and fun to drive. Two family menbers own V6 sedans one was a Toyota Camry, the other a Sable 24V. Seeing the Sable was American made, better seating, and less bland styling, I optd for the Sable. Performance, handling and ride between the two cars is similiar, the Camry is slightly quicker off the line, the Sable is slightly quicker on the upper end of the tach. Fit and finish are good, no rattles or squeks.

  • This is my second Sable - 2000 Mercury Sable

    This is my second Sable. I would buy it again

  • 170k miles, and still strong! - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    Okay, so admittedly, this car is kind of old... Its a 2000, give it a break! But honestly, the thought that Mercury will no longer be making cars makes me sick. The previous owners didnt really take care of it... dirty interior, lack of oil changes, leaky fluids, etc... but WOW did it clean up nice. A box of ArmorAll, some new floor mats, a steering wheel cover, some self-fixing coolant fluid, and an oil change later, and WOW! This car runs like a dream, steering is very responsive (yet acts as a luxury steering system, so you lose a bit of turn radius), acceleration is above average, fuel economy is great (ALWAYS put 93 octane in this car, it will get the best mileage with it).

  • Mixed feelings - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    I love the style, power and comfort of my Sable. It is fun to drive. What I have not enjoyed was the multiple trips to the dealer to fix problems. Most were minor electrical problems but 1 took 5 trips to the dealer to resolve the problem. The transmission needed to be replace with only 45,000 miles. The verdict is still out if I would buy another one. They would need to convince me that there quality control had improved.
