1997 Mazda Millenia Reviews

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.

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.

Since I got the car, I haven't had any major problems other than replacing the timing belt. Other than that, I have had minor issues that's normal for the cars age like for example, replacing the CV joints, water pump, replacing the tires and battery.

Even though I have no major complaints bout the cars manufacture, except for the center cup holder, the Millenia had a sleek sporty luxurious look that caught many people's attention when driving around when I first got it, not to mention many people have asked me what kind of car is it up to this date!

This car is unique. It drives smooth, and when people get inside they don't believe it's a 97, but a newer version.

I have gotten many positive compliments from people, which still tells me that the Millenia is still looking good!

My 1997 Mazda Millenia continues to run hot.

Things replaced within 18 months are hoses, water pump, radiator, three thermostats, and timing belt.

What else could it be? I'm told possibly the heads. My oil looks good.

I've only had 1 year of enjoyment and the remaining 3 years of paying for a lemon has been very disappointing.

Cv axles went out at 92000.

Great car. smooth ride without the price tag. could compete with 45000 $vehicles.good power on the s model. sharp lines.

Constant problems for the year I have had it!

Transmission had to be replaced!

CV boot had to be replaced 3 different times.

Had a $1,000 tune up including: all new belts, hoses, check fluids, spark plugs wires, oil change, inspection etc. After all this engine light constantly comes off and on. Diagnostics test stated it is a random engine misfire.

Keep in mind I have brought the car back for transmission and engine light problems at least 6 times a piece!!

Rental cars are not cheap for 3-6 days and it is extremely inconvenient!

Whats even more (funny)ironic my car is in the shop as I type this message!

This car is not reliable.

To prevent bias I did buy the car used it is a '97 but I had the car checked before I bought it. No supposed problems then.

The car does lack get up and go.

The seat does not give lower lumbar support.

For the repair costs you might as well have a BMW or Mercedes.

Sick and tired of the worries!
