Editors at TheCarConnection.com report that the 2009 Mercury Sable is equipped with numerous cutting-edge gadgets and high-tech goodies.

"The well-equipped base [Mercury] Sable has 17-inch wheels, full power accessories (including a power driver seat), a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood-grain interior trim, air-conditioning, a CD player and MP3 jack, cruise control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror,” states Edmunds.

According to Automotive.com, the Sable’s options "include a Convenience package ($475) with a universal remote control, a reverse sensing system, a cargo net, and memory adjustable pedals; a wood package."

The 2009 Mercury Sable, according to Cars.com, includes goodies such as "the SYNC voice-activated infotainment system, a benefit of Ford's alliance with Microsoft; a DVD-based voice-activated nav system; and an array of family peacekeeping options such as a rear-seat DVD player, MP3 audio capability, and audio input jacks."

Motor Trend reports the Sable SYNC, "designed in part by Ford and Microsoft...is capable of integrating most cell-phones and MP3 players directly into the vehicle's stereo system via USB and Bluetooth." However, "if you'd rather not spend the $395 for Sync, you'll find a standard auxiliary input in the stock stereo."

Conclusion

The 2009 Mercury Sable comes with a respectable standard-equipment list, but its options list includes more possibilities than expected.

Other Choices:

The Ford Taurus is the Sable's stablemate with a bold horizontal grille. Chevrolet's Impala was improved a few years ago and can be a great bargain; plus, it's the only car in this group with a V-8 option. But the Impala ranks a step behind in safety. The Buick LaCrosse is surprisingly satisfying with a V-6 engine, a great automatic transmission, and a sophisticated interior. The Toyota Avalon's somewhat unusual styling is balanced by its vast interior room and the model's exceptional reputation for reliability. Finally, there’s the Honda Accord; since its last redesign for ‘08, the Accord has an even more mature feel than the previous generation, with plenty of smoothness and refinement to satisfy those who’ve owned luxury-brand cars before. The Accord isn’t as roomy as the Sable, however.
