2001 Mazda Millenia review from North America
"Good looking car, but cost too much to fix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car in 2004 with 46,000 miles on it for $18,000. In 2006 replaced the transmission. Cost me about $1,500. Then in 2007 replaced the transmission again for about the same price.
Now car is drive-able, but leaks oil, has a knock in the motor once at 2500 rpm. Had to replace the mechanism that lets you shift in gear. The power tilt don't work. Passenger side upper control arm bushing is bad.
General comments?
Besides all the defects on the car, it handles great when it was running perfect. Got the car lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, 18 inch rims, custom painted valve cover, custom oil cap, custom ground wires, and a custom intake. One of the best looking Millenia around Wisconsin.
