This Year's Model Updates:

Now that the brilliant 6 sport sedan has been approved for production, the Millenia's days are numbered. Understandably, changes for 2002 barely register on the Richter scale. Are you ready for this? An auto-dimming mirror with compass is standard, and Snow White Pearl paint is changed to Snow Flake White Pearl paint. You can also get a Special Edition with a chrome-finished front grille, a black exterior and a black-and-ivory interior with titanium trim.

Pros:
  • Attractive exterior styling and interior design, supercharged Millenia S engine, competitive price.
Cons:
  • Cramped interior, weak base engine, lack of brand cache, floaty highway ride, aging platform.

  • Mazda Millenia S rules!! - 2002 Mazda Millenia
    By -

    We purchased a Millenia after carefully evaluating several cars including the Acura TL, C class Benz etc. and found the Millenia to be the best combination of price performance and also a great looking car. Unbelievable build quality. This car gets a ton of looks as it goes down the road.

    Bought one of the last in 2002. The looks sold it, not the test drive. Traded an 88 MX-6...wonderful car in all respects. Expected same from the Millenia and in 2 yrs havent been disappointed. Epitome of entry level luxury. Super quality all round. Smooth performer, definitely not a hot rod, but pretty quick. Not a hint of any problems. Id buy another new in a heartbeat if it were posible.

    I love the look of my car I think it is a very classy looking car. Mine is black and looks great when it is clean and polished. I obviously havent had it very long but have always liked the look of these cars.

    Can be a great value as a used car, so definitely worth a look for the nice interior design & materials, smooth ride, and upscale, if somewhat generic, Japanese sedan look. However, poor interior packaging makes this somewhat large sedan small on the inside (uncomfortable to drive w/knees splayed out--Im 63"). Also, they have harsh shifting auto trannies with poor reliability, and other reliability issues as well. 170hp base engine is pretty weak. Fuel economy for a sedan is only 23mpg mixed city/hwy, and worst of all, requires premium fuel! If the tranny was smooth, there was another few inches of driver legroom, and my check engine light would turn off...then Id probably love it!

  • My Second Millenia - 2002 Mazda Millenia
    By -

    Bought a second Millenia for myself and a first for my wife. Great car for the price point. Was disappointed to learn that the Bose system wasnt standard in the P models as it was in the past. Cost me $500.00 to upgrade the sound system after market. Great Ride and handling. Better ride than the Infiniti I30t. Tighter car than most of its competitors.

  • Great car - if you keep it - 2002 Mazda Millenia
    By -

    This car does compete very condidently with cars in the same price range from BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infinity, Acura. Has plenty of power (with the supercharger), gets fair to good gas milage, very comfortable on long road trips, and intuitive driver comforts.

    We traded-in our 1997 to buy the last of an excellent car line. Mazda should have come up with a replacemetn.

  • A decent car.... - 2002 Mazda Millenia
    By -

    Got a good end of production deal on the Millenia - 5k rebate w/the dealer taking another 3k off sticker. Great looking car with lots of room. The ride is stiff with the performance tires. Very wide turning radius. The vehicle sits low so its not e-z to get out of.

    I do not like this car and i do not recamend it unless you have a lot of money. This is my first car and i got it for my 16th birthday. I have spend around $2000 getting repairs done on it and I have only had it for about a year and half. It is terrible on gas. Since i have got the car i have has to replace the timing belt, change the radiator, all the spark plugs, the thermostat, the cords too the spark plugs and more. It coast way to much to get fixed and the check engine light has be on constantly, no matter what i get done it will not go off. Although it is a nice car I do not reccomend it to anyone. Also something is still wrong with the car and it wont even run now.

  • LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!! - 2002 Mazda Millenia
    By -

    I have never liked Ia car I have owned for more than 6 months. Its been 13 months now and I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Wanted a Lexus ES300 and it was a little over my price limit but this car has made me very happy! Perfect experience like Ive never had before with dealership on purchase and service. One thing...you might want to have more option with roadside service than the free one offered through Mazda. The roadside service people are rude, limited in providers and virtually worthless. It took them 4 hours to get my keys out of my car.
