1997 Mazda Millenia L review from North America
"Quick, comfortable, quiet, good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 168,000 miles, my dealership said I have a moderate "blow-by", which means it uses some oil.
The tires had to be replaced twice.
Bearings in the timing belt had to be replaced.
Several belts had to be replaced.
Not much more, all repairs cost under $2000 in total.
General comments?
Car has great acceleration, and gets good gas mileage.
Specs are 2.3Ltr V6 180HP
Handles great, drives very smoothly.
Air conditioner and heat work well.
Will stop and start on a dime.
I actually tried to start the car while it was running. (Very Quiet)
