For the money, very nice car
When was shopping... was choosing between Nissan Maxima and this hottie... Car looks great much better look than Maxima... Exterior is very nice and sharp, as well as a nice leather interior... handles nicely... enough power from start (Maxima up to 2000 doeasn't stand close even with a stick shift) as well as a very good performance on a highway... the highest mine ever did was 130pmh... and it felt like the car was glued to the road... Very happy with my desicion... likes too much fuel when pushed from stand...
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)
Great value
In 90,000 miles and 10 years, bought third set of tires last year, replaced 1 battery after 5 years, resurfaced front brake rotors and new pads (at 78k). The half shaft boots tore at 80k miles. Those will be $400 to replace the half shafts. That is it. Outstanding reliability. Good performance. Very comfortable. Still stylish interior. Great overall package.
Its Just a Ford
Car was in great condition when it was bought but went down hill from there. One problem after another both with the engine (radiator, thermostat, alternator, oil links, transmission) and interior features (poor quality seats, dash, cargo nets, & cup holders). For a top of the line car, this ones the pits. Had to dump major $$ in repairs.
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.
