What to check on the Sable
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The figures, translated
The 3.0L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 35 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $54.87 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,367 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 1,104 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the Sable
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
