This is the first Mazda I've purchased and I am the second owner of this vehicle. I will definitely give Mazda serious consideration when I am in the market to purchase another vehicle. The service center in my area (Ferman Mazda in Tampa, Florida) have been excellent.

A best buy used car

I bought this car with 22000 miles in 2000 for half the new price of a new one. I have had no repairs except for the brakes which I replaced at about 70,000 miles. The usual highway mpg is 30 or better. The only complaint comes from my wife who thinks the passenger seat is not as comfortable as the driver seat. The resale value does not reflect the true value of this car, it is a bargain.

Fantastic Luxury Cruiser

I owned my 98 Millenia from 2000 to 2004. Very classy inside, everything felt like luxury. It was the smoothest highway cruiser I had ever driven, and remains so to this day. Very comfortable at speed, and I'm not a slow driver. The only reason I sold it was I just had to get back in a car with a manual transmission. The only criticism I could offer is that the pockets on the back of the front seats are made of netting instead of some solid material, and if the pockets are used the netting tends to stretch and then sag. Pretty small criticism. Well I guess I could complain they didn't offer a manual transmission, haha.

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.

nice looking but quality lacks a bit

I have had my Mazda for 9 years. I replaced the transmission at 100,000. I have had a number of other parts replaced. The engine has been pretty good. But the parts are very high and mostly have to be ordered. The resale value is is kinda low. The car really looks good but in terms of durability, it leaves a lot to be desired. Mazda really needs to step it up a bit.
