If you get the twin front bucket seats, they deliver surprisingly good lateral support without incurring a penalty in seating comfort, even for larger drivers. The cushions and seatbacks are on the firm side, which might initially seems a shortcoming; but firmer seats, if well-designed, usually feel more comfortable and reduce fatigue on long
drives. Rear seating for three is spacious and comfortable, with the two outboard positions having a semi-bucket form. And if you ski, or carry ladders everywhere you go, the positively enormous split-seat pass-through into the trunk will make your life immeasurably easier. This live wire steering combines with a finely tuned front suspension to deliver surprisingly sporting driving sensations. Driven to the extremes, It takes the safest course, understeering to warn the driver that traction has been overcome. It
takes a tactful but nonetheless exciting growl. So equipped, the Sable allows the hidden hurrier in you full expression, but in this car, who will suspect? It's just a family sedan, right? (Just smile and nod; nobody needs to know your secret.) |
