Great Car!

The Mazda Millenia S is the poor man's 5 Series BMW. I bought mine used with 34k on it--someone else ate the depreciation..I got great value. The handling is agile, a real driver's car, yet ride quality is high. The engine is responsive, smooth, quick. Mechanically solid, and loaded with features, including traction control, ABS. The engineers and builders paid attention to detail. I find the car comfortable, even on long trips; maintenance has been minimal.

Killing me to part with it

I leased this car new in 1998, I fell in love immediately with its power, style, and great handling. It made me feel safe, but it was fun to drive, too. When the lease ended I couldn't give it up, even for a newer one. Now, five years later, I have to get a larger vehicle and must turn it in. I'm heartbroken. It has needed some repair, but I only have NYC potholes to blame for that. This is a wonderful, underappreciated car, which is good because not too many people have them.

My Mazda

The only problem was the engine light and an oil leak which was fixed by the dealer. A perfect fit for a short woman. I think the interior (leather seats and carpet) leaves a lot to be desired. The outside of the vehicle is holding up much better than the interior. The cup holders in the front got stuck and are unable to be fixed and there are none in the back. Also the mileage could be improved upon. Otherwise the car has given me good service and I'm not on 111,000 miles and it is still quite peppy and runs good. I think I'll keep it, hopefully, for at least another 100,000 miles!!

Great Buy

I bought my 1998 Mazda Millenia because I had a 1995 Mazda coupe that I just loved until it was stolen and I never saw it again. Both Mazdas are peppy, well designed, fuel efficient and handle great. My Millenia is a four door because I have more passengers now. The rearseating area is comfortable with lots of leg room. The leather interior, sunroof and great sound system make this car a mini- luxury car that almost equals the BMW and Mercedes I was pricing before buying the Mazda. The German cars did have more torch but that's about the only difference aside from the hefty price tag.

Excellent Sports Sedan

This car is one of the best Sports Sedan I'd ever driven. It's fast and nimble with good ride quality. Before I purchast this car, I'd also tested drive Maxima & Diamente. Comparing to Maxima, both car promise you luxury and performance, however Millenia S has more features that Maxima didn't have. Forget about Diamente, it just didn't even come close. I have 67000 miles on my Millenia S, the only parts I'd pay for is the O2 sensor. If you want a realiable luxury sports sedan but don't want to pay alot, This is a good choice (S model only).
