Used 1996 Mazda Millenia Consumer Reviews
Great car, very underrated.
I purchased my 1995 millenia in May of 2002. I got the car for $5,200. What a steal. It had 90,000 miles at the time. I have put 45,000 miles on the car this year. (My job as a traveling salesman really packs on the miles). The Milenia has been outstanding. On the freeway it delivers a true luxury ride, while maintaining an "athletic" stance on the road. This is a fairly big car that never feels like a yacht. The car does not have the power of a Maxima (especially not the 2.5 liter version). The reliability of a Camery is probably superior. For the money though, you absolutely can't go wrong with a Millenia.
Great Car
We have this car for 5 yrs. and have not had any repairs other than, one set of brak pads, oil changes,and tires! (144K+miles} Drives Great! Looks Great! Gets good gas millage! Fun to Drive!
Great car for the money!
Three months and 2,000 miles into ownership. Now at 74,000. Bought for $4200 from first owner; car is immaculate. $600 in tires; oil change to Mobil 1, Wix filters. Tremendous bang for the buck with supercharger, Bose system great, ergonomic controls, pearl white color, neighbors thought it was brand new! Transmission shifts authoritatively like German cars. Supple suspension for its size and class. Lacks some features of 2004 luxury cars, but we're talking under $5,000 here! I'm impressed with design, layout, and build quality. Averaging 19 to 21 mpg, most driving freeway at 80 mph. (Houston, TX)
LoveMyMilleniaS
Only owner(1995). I have done all the services required, my millenia has been outstanding.I have only to repair the car repair twice in eight years, both were minor repairs. One was the radiator blew the the other was something minor. My millenia has 131K miles and I just started to notice a difference in the performance. Things are starting to rattle. The design has lasted wonderfully during the last eight years. Most peolpe think I have a new car when they see it because the body was so well designed,it is timeless. As far as performance, in this price range, it can't be beat. The power in this car is amazing and the ride is smooooooth.
Beware
I purchased used with 40,000 miles. At 52,000 miles the head gasket blew and cost $1300 to repair. Now at 112,000 the trans is out and it will cost $2500 to repair. Other than these big ticket items, I have also had to replace 2 CV joints. Many good aspects, but buyers beware
