1996 Mazda Millenia S review from North America
"Expensive in all regards, but great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light flashes. Autozone told me that the #5 cylinder is not firing or misfiring and the catalytic converters need to be replaced. Local muffler shop quoted me $3000-- if they didn't break a bolt! This is a huge problem. I am a college student.
I just replaced the brake pads. It was pretty simple. Easiest I've ever done. I need to replace the CV joints; they click every time I turn. Other than that I LOVE my Millenia. Feel free to email me at justincummings1972@yahoo.com.
General comments?
The car has everything I want in a vehicle. Climate control, heated leather seats, moon roof, Bose sound system. It has more power than I need. It rides really nice, but the thing is SOO expensive to repair. I had a 72 Porsche 914 that was cheaper to get fixed.
