General Comments:
This has been an all-around great car for me. I commute 60 miles a day and she fires right up and purrs like a kitten.
Aside from the A/C clutch going south, I've had no major problems with the vehicle. I've yet to replace the A/C compressor, as it's a very expensive procedure due to the retrofit for the new coolant.
The other things that have gone wrong have been very minor and I've been able to perform the repairs myself. The preventive maintenance is inexpensive and easy to do on your own and parts can be had for a very resonable price.
Overall, the Sable has been a great car for the money I spent and continues to churn out the miles for me on a regular basis.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Well what did you expect out of a 11 year old car with 100K miles on it? I mean, come on... brakes are going to wear out. Didn't you check them BEFORE buying the car? DUH!!!
