1993 Mercury Sable LX review from North America
"Nice looking, but terrible running"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 60,000 miles main drive belt and starter needed to be replaced. Just recently transmission died.
General comments?
Sables are nice looking cars, with capable road handling. Very comfortable with great options. The only problem area is they do not last... areas of concern are basicaly the entire driveline! A transmission should last beyond 75,000 miles.
