2001 Mercury Sable GS 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
This car is in my family and I drive it sometimes. My dad loves it. It had only minor problems in the almost 3 years we've 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.
Favorite Features
easy handling
Suggested Improvements
So far so good in the Sable

2001 Mercury Sable LS 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I've had my Sable since November and so far it has been great. I'm 23 so I can't say I love the car, but it's done everything I've asked it to so far. I bought it as a fill in until I can buy something I really like, and it's been great. I occasionally drive about 4 hours to see my family and the Sable has performed wonderfully. I get roughly 27 mpg on the highway and between 17-20 around town. Mine is the base model with almost no options, but it performs great for what it is. Very solid, reliable sedan with room to spare.
Favorite Features
Folding rear seats, adjustable pedals, trunk space, rear seat room, floor mounted shifter
Suggested Improvements
Shifter squeaks, FWD, slightly underpowered, Audio/climate control panel not easy to replace w/ aftermarket stereo because it's all one piece

2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I have owned my Sable for over a year now and don't have any complaints at all. Most of my driving is done on the highway with my shortest trips being about an hour and a half. That being said, I still do a little driving in the city, so I've been able to see how it performs there- flawlessly. I've performed nothing but routine maintenance even with a couple off-roading experiences (I have the pictures to prove it), burning rubber and maneuvers that are usually only taught at police driving courses.
Favorite Features
The 200hp 24v DOHC engine works quietly, powerfully and efficiently (I've gotten over 31 mpg before). Mach Audio sound system is a gift to the ears and handles everything from opera to reggaeton with ease. Outstanding cargo space. Great trunk and the rear seats fold to fit longer items.
Suggested Improvements
Internal air button on climate control would be nice for those times you don't want max A/C.

2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
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. I'm sorry that they've discontinued this model. I'm 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.
Favorite Features
The whole family uses the keyless entry. Nice to be able to get into the car when you show up earlier than the driver.

2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Bought a 2001 Sable LS Premium new and put 71,000 miles on it over 6 years. Just traded it in for a different brand. I miss my Sable! Excellent ride quality, loaded with luxury features, great stereo system, elegant styling. 21 MPG in town, 28 MPG highway. Very reliable.
Favorite Features
Ride quality. Overall comfort. Mach Audio system. Split folding rear seat. Adjustable pedals. Side body panel contouring reminiscent of the 70-71 Torinos.
Suggested Improvements
No improvements needed. Ford should put these cars back into production.

2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
2001 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 can't find sufficient differences to justify trading in the Sable. Perhaps I just " lucked out" but so this has been a great car.
Favorite Features
Value, performance, interior comfort, options and reliability.
Suggested Improvements
No real complaints but trade in value has been a discouraging. Has more wind noise than new models.

2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Comfortable car on long trips that can haul all of the gear without a problem. Excellent high speed stability and power with reasonable gas mileage. Outmatches most SUVs in all categories but getting kids in and out.
Favorite Features
Engine used regular, good power except off the line. Excellent stability. Comfortable ride.
Suggested Improvements
Needs to have option of automatically unlocking all doors or not. Just unlocking driver door automatically is a pain.

Review
A little old lady traded this car in after 5 years and only 10,027 miles. At $9,100 I could not pass up the deal. I've owned 2 Tauruses before, A 96 that had 90,000 miles when it got run over by a semi, no one hurt. Wife wanted another so we bought a 2000 se. That car now has 95,000 miles and not a problem. So when I saw this car for sale it was a no brainer. Love the 24 valve engine, rides like a lincoln. Great highway cruiser 100 mph plus on the way to Vegas from Los Angeles with no problems. My only complaint is the crappy sound system that came with the car. I guess the mach system is better.
Favorite Features
Highway power, very comfortable
Suggested Improvements
better stereo, 4 wheel disc brakes

2001 Mercury Sable GS 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
After two years I am really ready to get rid of this car. The transmission went out at only 57,000 miles last year - now I am told I need a valve job! I am lucky to get 17 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. Doesn't handle on highway well and has passes very poorly. It is bulky and sluggish. Have owned four Taurus and loved them all - but this beast is possessed! Never, ever again. We are trading for a Toyota!
Favorite Features
Interior comforts - seats, cd systems, cruise control.
Suggested Improvements
Reliability, realiability, realiability. Who wants to be at the mechanics every month?

Review
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 ..
Favorite Features
Exterior and Interior Design Great Quality of Materials inside and out Roomy interior Keyless Entry on the Door Huge Trunk Strong V6 And the whole car is great
Suggested Improvements
V6 should have had more Horsepower and Torque maybe about 245HP and about 250 LBS FT Torque
