1999 Mazda Millenia review from North America
"Love the car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New water pump and timing belt at 120,000miles
New upper control arm on driver's side at 158,000
New rims at 164,000 (factory alloy's split, 2 broke within 1 week!)
New ball joints at 165,000
In the process of replacing the knock sensor, fixing a coolant leak, and cleaning the EGR. Also getting the brake rotors machined and installing new pads (167,000 miles)
Suspension repairs were not cheap. Had them done at the local Firestone store and they worked really well on the vehicle.
General comments?
Loved the handling when I got it, gradual wear on suspension has loosened it up a bit now
Excellent gas mileage, 27mpg on the highway!
