1997 Mercury Sable LS review from North America
"I love this car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Changing the front brake disks and resurfacing the rear ones at 104 000 miles.
General comments?
I am from Hungary and with my wife we were looking for a big car to travel around the US. This is how we ended up with this Sable.
This car is huge. We traveled so many miles with it. It has a 200 horsepower engine, which was very helpful to pass when it was necessary, or to travel on an interstate with 95 miles per hour speed for hours, with two bikes on a bike-rack on the top of the trunk, without any problem.
Everything is working fine in it. It is fully loaded and everything is very well designed around the driver. It is a very comfortable car. We could drive in the city and get 23-24 miles with a gallon and on highway we could get 26-27, but a few times we could make 30 miles with a gallon.
And one other thing: if you check the advertisements or the dealers, you will not find so many Mercury Sables for sale. For me this means people like this car and are satisfied with it so they do not want to sell it.
