2009 Mercury Sable Quality Review

February 21, 2009

COMFORT AND QUALITY | 9 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

Seats are comfortably supportive
ConsumerGuide

3.5-liter engine is extremely quiet and smooth at idle
Automotive.com

Plenty of storage areas and eight cupholders
Edmunds

According to reviews examined by TheCarConnection.com’s editors, the 2009 Mercury Sable has a very comfortable, well-assembled interior.

ConsumerGuide says the "seats are comfortably supportive, but lanky drivers may wish for more rearward and downward seat travel." According to The Auto Channel, "the split-folding rear seat is easily wide enough for three people." Automotive.com reports that Sable’s seats "are comfortable but not overly supportive."

ConsumerGuide says that the "flat-floor trunk packs a lot of gear, helped by a boxy shape, large opening, and compact strut-type trunklid hinges." Edmunds notes the Sable has "plenty of storage areas and eight cupholders." Some reviewers advise that with everything folded down, you can fit a nine-foot-long object inside.

The cabin, according to ConsumerGuide, "makes good use of textured, soft-touch materials...they don't look luxurious but are price appropriate." Edmunds confirms the presence of "solid materials quality."

Several reviewers also point to the Sable’s better-than-expected levels of quietness and refinement inside, even on coarse surfaces. Edmunds says  "those who equate silence with quality should be pleased with the 2009 Mercury Sable's low amounts of road and wind noise."

Conclusion

The 2009 Mercury Sable is no limousine, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable ride for this price.

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.
