1999 Mercury Sable GS review from North America
"Great value!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust developed a leak and had to be replaced.
The paint is fading off the hood.
Power steering pump whines.
General comments?
A pretty good car for the money.
I bought this car as a gas saver in 2006 for $2000, and it's been pretty good.
First off, I have the Vulcan engine, which is a VERY durable engine, but don't expect to win any races. If you want lots of power, get the 24V DOHC, I've driven one with the Duratec engine, it's tons faster.
I get very good fuel economy with this car, about 23/28.
The car is pretty comfortable for the most part, but the back seats are rather uncomfortable on long trips. The car is pretty quiet also, except under harder acceleration. The trunk is a good size too.
Overall, this has been a good, reliable car for the price. I recommend it.
