Overview & Reviews

Four new colors are added to the paint chart, while approach lighting and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass become standard equipment.

• Excellent value for the money, high level of safety, available as a sedan or a wagon.

• Forgettable rental car persona, no rear disc brakes on the sedan.

  Try it ... Youll like it!!!!! - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By rds toy - October 8 - 2:00 am

  This is my 7th Ford product, and by far the best. Comfort, economy, powerful 24 valve V-6 crisp handling. The only drawback the Continental original equipment tires are junk. Terrible wet traction, too much road noise too firm ride. Change to Michelin like driving a different car.

  Still a "Head Turner" - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By DBLD - October 6 - 4:50 am

  Black with factory chrome wheels&tinted windows. Still get lots of comments on the looks of this car.I now have 110,000 mi. on my Sable and the 24v motor still runs like new! Only problems have been with rear windows (bad switches)and tie-rod ends...otherwise flawless!

  Nice family car. Rides comfortably. This car is nice size. 2003 Taurus is too big. We had one. Uses a lot of gasoline for a 3.0 liter.

  For those who value, a value - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By johncandy - March 5 - 2:00 am

  This is a great car for the money, especially if you buy used like I did. I paid 10,900 for a 2002 sable with 16,000 miles and two years left on warranty. It is a 6 cylindar car, not a 4 cylinder like you would get for that money, on most other cars. The ride is good, the power sufficient, styling European, milage decent, safety rating excellent. Oh yeh, the hondas and toyotas are perfect. But are they really perfect as consumer reports indicates. The sable is now a recommned buy for consumer reports.

  This has been my favorite car - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By pyzik - January 31 - 8:12 am

  I bought this car in 2005 after having a 1997 Sable GS. The premium came with an extra 52hp which really added some pep. The seats were comfortable but the leather was somewhat fragile (I made two small tears in the rear seat). I got tons of complements when I had this car. The exterior wasnt the greatest styling but the interior was wonderful. I ended up selling it because there was a short in the electrical system that cause multiple wires to melt together causing a complete failure in the electrical system (did not effect the drivetrain. Heater was stuck on, windows didnt work interior lights didnt work, instrument cluster didnt work. I would still be driving this car otherwise.

  Flywheel? - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By NH,JH - November 24 - 2:40 am

  Solid feel, wagon is stylish,in lighter colors. Almost five years of ownership. BUT, a minor and a major problem. Minor: grabbing windshield wipers, even after dealer replaced at 25K miles. Rainex helps for a while. MAJOR: Flywheel just replaced, at 70K miles. Also, the starter. A bit over a year ago, there was an occasional screech at startup attempt. It kept getting more frequent. Of course, it didnt do it for the dealer AND the symptoms described to same did not lead them to suspect, as they should have, a flywheel defect. The reason for all the detail above: have others had same problem?

  I have had no mechanical problems only maintenance has been required. Roomy, performance reliability and cost compared to comparable sized cars is what makes the Sble a good buy.

  Nice car but several problems - 2002 Mercury Sable
  By Glenn - August 7 - 11:56 am

  Blower motor went out first 2 weeks,cowling seal defective allowed water to get into blower and rust. Rear spring broke into 3 pieces @ 11200 miles. Shop said this is typical, expect the other one to break also. Fuel economy is great on the road, get 30 MPG with cruse @ 62 MPH. Car has nice ride and has lots of room, would buy another.
