2000 Mazda Millenia S review from North America
"A wonderful car - Mazda should make more!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen sensor and vacuum tee connector raplaced at about 80,000 miles.
General comments?
A beautifully styled sedan. I think one would see many more of these on the road if Mazda were a higher volume manufacturer such as Toyota or Honda.
I've had my Millenia S model for almost six years and have loved it since the first day.
Fit and finish is excellent. No squeaks or rattles.
Acceleration and handling are still excellent.
Absolutely no problems for the first five years - nothing broke or stopped working!
Replaced front brake pads for the only time at about 75,000 miles. Still have not replaced rear brake pads.
Check engine light came on at about 80,000 miles - relatively low part costs for oxygen sensor and vacuum connector, but labor cost was expensive.
CD player stopped working in 2006 - probably an easy fix.
