Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia S [cilio]
Personally, I'd pass on that car. If it has gotten to the point of the CEL flashing, it's hard to tell really what's wrong with it. There is driveability issues at that point - most likely. Plus, with that mileage, it's a pretty risky vehicle because of so many other items that could soon fail. Heck, even with half of that mileage, I'd still caution the purchase since the parts are ...

2000 Mazda Millenia S
I'm new to this site. An acquaintance of mine has allowed me to test this car for the weekend. He is asking $3000 for it plus the cost of tuned up and 3 new profile tires for it. It has 225000km on it, very and i mean very minor rust. A couple of things have raised my suspicion. 1 is when I accelerate, there is a high squeal of a noise....at ... Read More

Re: Check Engine light on [tarasb]
well these cars are well put together I think. I have a 2000 mazda 626 which is way sportier than the millenia anyway but it ran hot for the longest time and it would go well up in the Hot zone and any other car would have blown head gaskets etc so I can only say good things when it comes to these cars even though we spend money and complain ...

Engine Noise
My 2001 Millenia just starting making an engine noise that when I heard it for the first time sounded like rod/valve train knock or maybe an exhaust leak. The noise only happens when you first start the engine after it has sit (the longer it sits the longer the noise lasts). The noise goes away as you rev the engine up much past 1800-2000 rpm and completely goes away after the ... Read More

Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia catalytic converter replacement [kindasimpl]
0300 is random missfire. when was the last time you changed plugs? and which plugs did you use? i am guessing that from your codes, you have a 2.3 mc motor. be very careful, most aftermarket places do not have the correct info on plugs for the mc motor. the gap MUST be .7-.8mm. NOT 1.1mm, like most of the stores think. if you do not fix the random miss, you ... Read More

Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia catalytic converter replacement [kindasimpl]
Also have a 2000 Millenia S model with 87k miles on it. Did not trigger a warning light or codes, but continued to "buck" at speeds around 55mph, as if it was missing. the Millinenia forum suggested the oxygen sensor located next to the air filter, so I took it apart and sprayed contact cleaner on the wires. This worked for a week or so and then it began again. My ... Read More

2000 Mazda Millenia catalytic converter replacement
Our 2000 is giving off codes PO300 and PO431. From my research it indicates the catalytic converter as the O2 sensor going would not trigger the 431 code also. I found several on-line as a replacement but don't know which to choose. Also can a "small town" mechanic do the job or do I need to take it into the city? Is there anything else I should go ahead and replace ... Read More

Millenia Engine Blew up
I have a 2000 base model with a straight six cylinder engine that threw a rod through the crankcase at 58,000 miles. This car was well maintained and driven by my slow poke wife since it was new. This occurred after the 60,000 mile service was done and the timing belt changed two months before it blew up. It was out of warranty and the Mazda factory rep supposedly inspected it ... Read More

Re: EGR problem with 1999 Mazda Millennia [jazzyman26]
I have had a 1999 and a 2000 Millenia. The EGR value issue is a big chaotic problem, yet with a simple solution. If you take the intake off the throttle body, and remove the four screws that hold the throttle body on and remove it also. You WILL see a really clogged hole in the bottom. If you take some engine cleaner, and spray it in it will break up ... Read More

Re: Bogging issuses!! [jmacneill]
If when you hit the gas it revs up but do not respond by accelerating then it seems like a timing belt problem. If the car loses power while driving then the engine may need to be rebuilt(egg shaped cylinders). This is based on what my mechanic told me about my car. I do not know if your car has TCS which runs off the vacuum system. A bad valve could ... Read More

Where to find used Mazda wheels?
We have a 17" wheel on our 2000 Millenia that's bent. I'm assuming it's from hitting a pothole, but has been recommended that it get replaced. I certainly don't want to spend the money for a brand new one. Other than Ebay, does anyone have any other good possibilities? How much should we expect to spend on a used wheel?

Re: 2000 Millenia second cracked wheel [willopad]

Re: 2000 Millenia second cracked wheel [shubedo44]
I think that you are out of luck, my friend, when it comes to asking Mazda to give you any hope of replacing your wheels.

I believe that the only way that you are going to solve the problem is to have your friendly neighborhood tire dealer dismount, apply a glue/sealant to the ... Read More

Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia S Nightmare! [misty8]

Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia S Nightmare! [steine13]
I take issue with the "Don't Buy A Millenia" statement of the poster before you. Sure, maybe the "S" has problems, but not the the non-Superchgarged version. In fact the 2.5l engine is critically acclaimed as one of the best V6's ever made. My '95 Millenia just turned 170K. Total repairs to date are less than $4k and included routine stuff like timing belt, cooling pump, distributor, battery, etc. Tranny's fine, ... Read More

Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia S Nightmare! [wrd88]
FWIW: White smoke is usually OK, that's water. A natural byproduct of combustion, and often visible at startup. Burning oil means blue smoke. Best and cheapest fix is thicker oil (20W50) but use synthetic (Mobil 1) so that you still get good flow when the car is cold. Perhaps more to the point: If you are going to buy a seven-year-old luxury car, especially an obscure one, you have to have ... Read More

Re: 2000 Mazda Millenia S Nightmare! [wrd88]
there should be some kind of warranty 3 months/3,000 miles or something like that. If so go to where you bought it and state your case for selling you a lemon. If you can, unload it as the things you mentioned are definite signs of trouble.

The Edmunds chart for 1999-2000 sales http://www.edmunds.com/news/feature/vehicles/44695/page001. shows them below that of most other Japanese entry level luxury models but there must be some significant regional differences, Millenias were absurdly popular in the Detroit metro area.

In my opinion, it is the most value for the money, when you consider the hefty rebates and discounts. There are those who sing the praises of the Miller engine in the S, but I believe ... Read More

Extended Warranties
I purchased a Mazda Millenia S 2000 new and have been very happy with it to date. No problems whatever. The car is approaching the end of it's manufacturer warranty and I am researching extended warranties (Mazda and commercial). It looks like a reliable bumper-to-bumper 6year 100K warranty will cost about $1200-1400. Any experience/opinions out there on this subject? Thanks.

2000 Owner's Manual/Edmund's Test of Sedans
Well, I have bitten the bullet and bought my 2000 Millenia S. Oddly enough, the dealer only has a 1998 owner's manual for it. Being fussy, I would prefer the right year manual, but, being practical, are the differences between the '98 and '00 cars enough that I should bother? On a separate note, I have read the comparison test on Edmunds where the poor Millenia comes 9th and last, although ... Read More

Planning to Purchase a 2000 Millenia: Advice?
I have read many of the postings here with great interest and I seem to have found a good car in New York. It is a 2000 Mazda Millenia S Millenium Edition (what a name!)with 55,700 miles. I am planning to put in an offer of around $14,800, including the 60,000 mile servicing and painting the brake calipers. Is this reasonable? The car appears to be in excellent condition and is ...

Today's Wall Street Journal
Guys- I was reading today's Wall Street Journal and I came across an article in the Personal Journal Section.The article is about how Auto Dealers are ruining the RESALE value on used car. The incentives and 0% financing they are offering according to the article is depreciating the value of the used car market. What stood out to me was the Mazda Millenia S, they are saying that on a 2000 ... Read More

Millenia S Rock Bottom Price!
A Boston area dealer has an ad for a 2002 S for $22,835 as I do not qualify for the college graduate additional $500 off. They are advertising it as $10K off. It seems like Mazda/Ford has pretty much eaten a lot of the depreciation on this car. BTW, I keep reading that this car depreciates but every time I look at a used one they don't seem very cheap to ... Read More

Two things:
I don't wholly trust Carpoints reliability ratings, stuff they've said is good hasn't been and rated poorer with Consumer Reports. But as a general guide, good. Consumer Reports has the Millenia listed as Excellent I believe anyhow. Secondly, on the 2000 Model Mill. Ed. --- what does the stock sound system consist of (speaker wise, i.e. how many, types, etc.) I know the new ones are like 9 speaker systems, curious ... Read More

Millenia S overheats
My 2000 Millenia S overheats when I take it on a long (2+ hours) trip and go up a long hill. This has happened three times this summer, even at fairly mild temperatures. The issue seems to be having the car loaded with people and luggage and pulling a long hill. It has happened on hills that are 5+ miles long in temperatures in the upper 70s and on hills less ...

Answers, Ramblings, Etc.
In reference to #1855 and #1856: In terms of quality, the Millenia fairs rather well, just check out Consumer Reports. I have a 2000S with 45K, besides oil changes, I've replaced the air filter at 30K as the owners manual suggests and that's it. Original Dunlops tires still going strong - no mechanical problems. Believe it or not, there are a fair number of Millenias in the field and Mazda will ... Read More

Quote billyperks:"I would rather see responses from NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT residents." I understand what you are saying about location, but that is about $2000 high for the Tampa area. Quote david179:"Is this the bias of one individual, or should I be concerned about purchasing a Mazda?" That was an angry response to me over there, because I dared to mention the MM in the Accord thread. But it is a ... Read More

S vs P Debate
I have been following this board for the past couple of months, every since I discovered that the Millenia may be within striking distance pricewise, due to heavy discounting by Mazda. I have read these last few posts with some surprise at the intensity of some of the comments and finally felt like adding some input. I think that fwatson's post #1774 sums it up best. How much HP is really ... Read More

I own both Cars
Hey all, I own a 2002 Maxima SE and a 2000 Millenia S (ME) Both are great cars. I love the looks of the Mazda, but enjoy driving the Maxima a lot more. This is my 2nd Mazda Millenia S and both times I considered the Maxima, but the horsepower difference at the time did not justify my buying the Maxima. The fun factor now with the increased HP is threefold ... Read More

wannabe.....
your'e comparing to a Millenia "P" and there, I agree, there is no comparison, think "S".....you never, although, mentioned anything about interior noise intrusion???...hmmm..wonder why??? Now, I'm not a Mazda enthusiast by any means, but am simply killing time with my 2000 S before my, (dealer held), RX-8 arrives next year. So I'm curious to know if when that arrives all you Maxima power nuts still going to say the Maxima ... Read More

Price
fredvh, you can get a brand new Millenia P for about $21700 up to $23000 depending on wheater or not you get the 4-season pckg, Bose 9speaker audio and/or in-dash 6CD changer. Go to carsdirect.com and lookup their price, print it out and bring it to any mazda dealership and have them price match it. Gas mileage is about 20mpg city driving. As for quality, the first year model '95 have ... Read More

Keep up the good work Pat
chesterz, I own a 2000 Millenia S, now with almost 45K miles on it. I replaced the original's 17" tires at around 36K miles. Please remember that this is a low profile 50 series tires that wouldn't have last long anyway. The same would probably applies to any cars with similar tire size as yours; like Acura TL TypeS and BMW 330i, but 29K miles seems pretty low. What kinds of ... Read More

Just a thought
fwatson, remember saxonii? banned and re-incarnated ? :-) Anyway, my 2000 Millenia S now has over 44000 trouble free miles. The more I drive the more I love this car. I'm going to keep my car until it dies; hoping to get 250,000 miles (yes, it's possible to get 250,000 miles out of a Mazda). I have a co-worker who's still driving his '90 626 hatchback with about 243K miles on ... Read More

Sure Drain Oil Plug
WalMart has Fram Sure Drain oil plugs available, They don't list one for my 2001 Millenia 2.5L, but they do list the 2000 Millenia with that engine. Now to the point. Can anyone here tell me if Mazda changed the oil drain plug size from 2000 to 2001? I can't see why they would have, as it is the same identical engine. I'm just trying to confirm my suspicion that the ... Read More

2000 Millenia S, heater controls?
I bought my Milleniaum Edition new and love it, except for the HVAC control...it seems to have none. Most of the time the automatic control heats the cabin up too much. When on automatic, it only puts out to the feet, and they quickly bake. Selecting defrost only bakes your forehead. Selecting windshield and feet, or vent positon, gives thermostatic control.. sometimes. Many trips to dealer haven't fixed it; he says ... Read More

Antiroll Kit....
I definitely agree with obioha1....there certainly is an antiroll kit for the Millenia S (at least I KNOW there is for the 2000 S), also BOTH Eibach and HR make a lowering kit for the S. I have spoken with one other Millenia owner who has the anti-roll and he said it is now a *much* better handling car (he also had the HR springs). Here is the "tirerack" url. Goodluck! ... Read More

maltb: "Ever read a review done by a major publication about the Millenia?" Yes I have. I researched the Millenia and several other cars thoroughly.

After all the research, test drives of several brands, and dealer experiences, I made ... Read More

2.5L Gas Mileage
I too, was disappointed in the 2.5L gas mileage (18-19mpg in city) when I first purchased my 2000 Millenia. I had previously owned a Ford Probe GT with the same Mazda 2.5L engine and routinely got 22 mpg in the same driving habits. I know the Millenia is heavier, so I was not expecting that high; however I was still a bit surprised at my results. What I did learn after ... Read More

Sorry, but that's not accurate
Millenia is cheaper and not smaller than TL. do not compare MSRP, compare how much dealers are selling these two cars for. Millenia S for about $25.5K and TL for about $27.5K. Also, they're about the same size, with TL bigger in front shoulder and knee room and Millenia bigger in the rear head and knee room. I'm 6" and I barely clear the TL's rear headliner; not in the Millenia; ... Read More

Love Mazdas - Love Audis
billyperks, I personally love the A6 2.7T. I test drove this car before I bought my 2000 Millenia and it's definitely a better car; much more expensive though and in a different class, so can't really compare the two together. It's quick, handles well, quiet and classy styling. Now that the 2002 is out, with the many improvements it got, it would be my choice compare to the other cars you ... Read More

Mazda to our rescue
I know how sad most of us Millenia owners knowing that Mazda is probably gonna drop the Millenia model after this one, but don't be too sad ppl; check this out. Mazda's replacement for the 626 is going upmarket a bit and it's gonna be called "Mazda 6". With 3.0V6 Duratec (mazda built I think, since it's gonna have VVT-i from mazda)and it'll have 219HP compared to Ford's 200HP). The base ... Read More

First 3700 Miles
I just got back from a 2900 mile vacation trip, mostly interstate, running at 70 to 80 MPH. Before leaving, I put 800 local miles on my new 2001 Millenia P to get it broken in before subjecting it to that much highway running. My old car is a 1995 Olds 88, and there is a noticably firmer ride with the Mazda, but it is pleasant, very well damped, and quieter ... Read More

Upgrading my 2000 Millenia S
I love my 2000 Millenia S, but some of the new feature/improvements Mazda made to the 2001 model makes me go crazy. For sure I will upgrade my Millenia's tailight assembly with the 2001's tail lights along with the center lic plate holder panel. This will cost me about $1400; that's after a 10% discount at a Mazda dealer. Does anyone know a cheaper place to buy Mazda parts? I'll probably ... Read More

Congrats, Protogenic
Congrats on the new Millenia; love the new Millenia looks and improvements, hope I can upgrade my 2000 Millenia S to a 2001 model. BTW, our other car is a Mazda Protege too, but it's the 2002 Protege5; so we both own a Millenia and a Protege; very cool. what color is your Protege?. My Protege5 is black and my Millenia is black/grey (two-tone). Love both cars, but me and my ... Read More

My Milennia is a P, not an S. And is also brand new with only 520 miles so far. Therefore I can't speak from much experience, except to say the car seems flawless in every respect. I think this is the best kept automobile secret in the world. I did extensive research before buying the Mazda, and everything I find ranks it at the very top in reliability, fit and finish, ...
