Great Value at Today's Prices

If you bought a Millenia several years ago, you can't help but be disappointed by the resale value. The price of the car has been lowered over the years and you can now get one for nearly the price as a loaded Camry or Accord. As far as quality of ride, features, and appearance there is no comparison. The car shines on the highway, cruising quietly and effortlessly at 80mph. If the car had another 50hp and a little more front leg room it would be near perfect. I have 50,000 miles on my Millenia with few problems. A noise in the rear suspension cost $250 to repair and the automatic tilt occasionally acts funny, but overall it has been trouble free.

I bought my Millenia S new and it now has 83,000. Both the handling and acceleration are great. I've been thinking about getting a new car, but nothing compares with the value of this car. Wish they still made them.

P1195 EGR BOOST SENSOR, this will kill your pickup and gas mileage. engine makes noise after 100,000 to solve put 2 quarts of karosene and idle it for 5 minutes, change oil and filter, use SAE30 the noise is gone for 20000 miles. Discontinued because of bad rep. after FORD bought MAZDA, their vehicles went down the toilet. I remember my 1984 626 ran over 300,000 miles, you could never find that now !!!!! Mazda dealers overcharge, dont buy parts there. Rotate tires after every oil change. I rated the car so high because I sold it for profit !!!! :-)

Unreliable

Since purchasing this car (new) back in 1998, I've had one problem after another including the following repairs/replacements: - fuel sending unit (under warranty) - oxygen sensor (under warranty) - powertrain control module (PCM) (under warranty) - EGR valve ($900 out of pocket) - front upper control arm and rear inner tie rod ($600 out of pocket) The fact that this car requires premium gas is ridiculous, especially considering it doesn't provide top tier performance. I will never purchase another Mazda.

Not So Fast

First impressions were nice. Looks great, all the gadgets, saftey, etc. After a while the lack of driver space got annoying, I am 6 '1, this car does not fit well for tall folks. The lack of power also is frustrating, Both of my motors in the mirrors are broken, and I have replaced the o2 sensor. AT 89k the transmission has gone to all hell. $1750 Later it is up and running with all its previous annoyances. staying away from the mazdas all together, nice design but cheap parts - cheap parts may appear as a good value up front - but over the long haul i have gotten burnt.
