2001 Mazda Millenia Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Nick on January 6, 2015

Using this car from last 6 months. Very happy with the comfort and overall looks. Bought it used in less value. The only concern is its fuel economy other than that its a win-win situation. Handling : Very light steering with full control over your drive. You will never feel you are driving an old vehicle. Drive : Smooth drive, very nice suspension. No problem in long drives. Performance: Mine is supercharged so it is quick and responsive. But yes some time you can feel you need more power. Today's tech is much more advanced so don't compare with today's high end cars. Space: Good space for driver and passenger. Boot space is still quite good. Luxury : Steering mounted controls, Bose audio systems is awesome, path way lights in every gate, front seats are electrically adjustable with heating, trunk opener in the remote, 17 inch allow wheel. Fuel : Premium fuel is recommended for this but I always used regular. May be with premium you will get some more miles. On high its economy is good. My long drive from Minneapolis to Chicago was 48$ (around 30 miles per gallon) So overall its a nice deal in less money. I am very happy with my decision.

This car is so comfortable. Rides so smooth but lacks power. im getting 23 mpg. I purchased this car a month ago with 69k miles. when the car is cold the transmission shifts kind of hard, no doubt i will need the transmission rebuilt eventually.

The Millenia has been a great car and still looks and runs well with 158K miles. Mazda cars are a good value, but there is nothing in this class in ther current product line. Too bad, I'd buy another!

I've owned my Mazda Millenia since 2004 when I bought it used. It's a 2001 model. It had 37,000 miles and now it has 127,000 miles, mostly driving 18 miles each way back and forth to work. At about 90,000 I had to get the transmission rebuilt which was a real bummer. . .cost $2K. However, aside from that speedbump the car has been remarkably reliable--a true workhorse for daily commutes. Even in our brutal Iowa winters the car performed really well with just the front wheel drive and decent tires. The handling is fairly straightforward and it's obvious the car was not built for aggressive driving but as a highway cruiser it is quiet, smooth and has good visibility all around. The creature comforts are reasonable although the seat heaters are weak. The engine power is lacking somewhat but I like the 4-wheel disc brakes. Buy with relative confidence. I think I'll keep mine until the wheels fall off which should be a quite a while yet.

Need another S on August 8, 2008

Drove it off the lot in 2002 - over 155,000 miles, very good car in very good condition. Just got bumped, OK slammed the other day in the back and the trunk is now in the back seat. Looking to replace this wonderful, efficient, low maintenance, reliable, good car. One of the best I have ever owned.

The only issue with this car is that it is like all cars of it's size needs more leg room for tall people and as a result also is hard to get in and out of .

This car is sweet millenia s is powerful. I just put a k&n filter and New pipe it cranks out 260 hp. not bad for a used car. ITs out side looks like a lexus. All the review said to buy on used and im glad i did I has all the luxureys wood trim power every thing sound system. This car like all mazda will be the best car to customize. I have a nav system and hid lights on order. i would put this car to the avalon or maxina even the xg300 and it would come out on top.

I've owned my millenia s for one year now and am looking to trade it in. Over all it is a good vehicle, but you have to have enough money to keep it up. Style wise, the car is excellent. Gas mileage is great for a supercharged v6. I drive about 70 miles a day on the highway and get around 29 mpg. The downside is that the car needs premium gas. In the year I've owned it I've had to do a bit of work to it but the miller cycle engine has had no issues. Dispite high miles, the car still has a decently smooth ride and runs very smoothly. The sound system included is great. Overall this would be a good car to own, as long as you can afford to keep up the mechanical work.
