Mazda Millenia Overview
The Mazda Millennia was launched in 1995 as an effort by Mazda to compete with high-end luxury brands from such automakers as Honda (Acura), Toyota (Lexus), and Nissan (Infiniti). In fact, the original intent was for the Millennia to be the flagship of Mazda's own luxury car division, called Amati. But when that division was scrapped, the Millennia was slotted into Mazda's existing lineup as a high-end offering. Throughout its eight-year run, the Millennia was offered with two engine options. Base models were equipped with a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter V6, while a higher-end S version received a supercharged 2.3-liter V6 that produced 210 horsepower. The supercharged V6 was a Miller-cycle engine that operated more efficiently than typical combustion engines. In addition to the Base and S versions of the Millennia, an L sedan, with the base engine and an upgraded interior package, was offered in 1996 and '97, and in 2000, a Millennium Edition with the supercharged engine and a number of special features, was produced. In keeping with its status as a luxury sedan, the Millennia was well-equipped throughout its run, with such features as air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, a tilt steering wheel with a memory feature, cruise control, automatic climate control, dual airbags, and a lighted entry system. Power front seats and side airbags were added as standard equipment later in the run. The S sedan came with such upgrades as leather seats, a power sunroof, and traction control.

What people say
This car has been trouble free since the day it was new - that is 12 years plus - with nothing but scheduled maintenance and the usual tires/brakes/battery/etc. Best car I have ever owned. Too bad that that this was the last year that Mazda made the Millenia - I would have liked to see what this model would have evolved to.
The Mill Is a One of a Kind Mazda!!!She carries buety that was advance before its time. Fun to drive and looks like a newer model car. The engine is tough to work in but all in all it's well worth it
Very quick on acceleration, gas mileage is ok for a v6. Parts are expensive. Engine is a little hard to work on. Brakes are Good. Good handling. Overall great car. Leather interior, heated seats. Has sunroof, fully adjustable electric seats. Aluminum wheels. Took it to Iowa from Michigan and didn't miss a beat. Got decent gas mileage all the way there.
It is the "freshest" Millenia out there ;) The performance is amazing, drives smoothly, even on the bumpiest roads, the build quality is pretty solid, and the appearance is drop dead gorgeous, it's fun to drive and turns head no matter how fast your going. I love it!
The design and construction of this car make it a keeper. The caveat is that you must adhere to a regular maintenance schedule and expect to make repairs when needed. If you treat this car right, maintain it and have performance tires & don't cheap out on parts you will enjoy driving it for a long time. Don't thrash it and let your teenage son drive it. Realize that you are driving a great car and enjoy
