#51 of 3969 Re: Rebate for '00 Base by acabral1 Aug 30, 2000 (1:51 pm)
I called speak upon the rebate towards the base model, but the dealership discounted my "S" for $6,500.00 - I could't argue with that - hopefully this information sets some parameters for you - Regards,
#52 of 3969 Millenia Rebate by csuftitans Aug 31, 2000 (8:23 am)
Most Mazda dealership I know here in LA, will give about $5500 to $6500 rebate/discount. Especially now that the 2001 model is coming out soos. I would to buy a Millenia, I would wait for the 2001 model, as it has the backlit display and probably xenon (maybe). For acabral1 (2001 millenia), actually, if you look closer, the rear tail light is different from the 2000 model, the white part is on the bottom part of the tail light. Love my Millenia
#53 of 3969 2001 Taillights by acabral1 Aug 31, 2000 (1:53 pm)
csuftitans - the rear taillights for the US Version will be a carry-over from 2000 for 2001 - The fact that the clear section of the taillight is located on the bottom for 2001 is insubstantial, the reason the 2001 Millenia rear fascia is considered to be a carry-over is because there are not any structural changes similiar to what the front fascia of the 2001 Millenia has undergone. Hence, it is a carry-over Regards,
#54 of 3969 csuftitans - 19" Wheels by acabral1 Aug 31, 2000 (4:05 pm)
csuftitans - From a personal standpoint I would not recommend 19"s wheels on the Millenia,. for starters, because you will lose performance by nearly 50% - braking power will be lost, acceleration performance will be lost, and fender rubbing will definately occur - I am speculating that your Millenia is used as a daily driven car, and you will have more headaches than you can buy aspirin for! With 19"s The 19"s wheel issue is nice, but the use of them is mainly for show. If you really want some nice wheels that are large,. consider 18"s you will still be faced with the issues I described above but 18"s are slightly more "practical" for daily drivers. If you do decide for larger wheels - 18"s + you will definatley need to purchase larger brakes, because the factory ones will not be effective under emergency situations! Also, insure that you purchase wheels with the correct offset and backspacing MM's - for tires consider this application to avoid blowouts: 225/40 series I wouldn't get anything smaller for a sedan, due to it standard weight load and its weight load with full occupancy - I am expressing this info because I had 18"s and 19"s on my previous car and had problems. Sometimes good looks aren't worth the compromise -Oh ya, consider purchasing Lowenhart wheels - they are some of the best wheels on the market. Regards

#56 of 3969 engine "drone" noise by mantag Aug 31, 2000 (4:19 pm)
earlier I had posted about an engine droning sound that was starting to get louder. it turns out the wheel bearings/seals need to be replaced on the front. approx $500 after all said and done. also, watch out for lug(not lock) nuts that will need to be replaced too, it was another 30, included in above $. i think the lug nuts get rusted on. they had problems with this for 95-96 maybe 97, 626, mill's . i have a 95 s. i guess it could be alot worse. they gave me a free oil change next time too. yeah!!!
#57 of 3969 questions by ruski Aug 31, 2000 (7:40 pm)
how do the Millenia's headlights perform? Are they bright enough? Do they illuminate the road well? The reason why I am asking is that I have seen a bunch of cars (mine included) that have sleek aerodynamic headlight designs that don't seem to put out light well enough. What about foglights? Are they efficient? Does Millenia get dented too much? - the round unprotected sides kind of make me think of that. What does everyone think of the new 2001 Millenia's face? I think I like the older on better - the new one looks to me like a strange concoction of Toyota Avalon (headlights) and Acura RL (grille) while being too edgy.
#58 of 3969 ruski by mantag Aug 31, 2000 (8:07 pm)
dont have dents yet, but it could be easy since the lower door panel "skirts" do not come up high enough to protect against door dings. just watch where you park. no problem w/ headlghts. although to compete against others they really should have 1. xenons available on s 2. side air bags 3. steering wheel controls (radio) 4. 17" wheels on s 5. horsepower boost 2001 gps sits too low to read effectively IMO
#59 of 3969 Xenon HID Headlamps by ecaf Sep 01, 2000 (2:58 am)
Hey Mantag, If you have a Gen 1 Millenia (1994.5 to 2000) you can have your 9006 lowbeams retrofitted with "off road" (read: non-DOT) Xenon HID kit. Check out autolamps-online.com hidlights.com (pics of 2K Millenia with HID here!) hitechimportlighting.com phoenixhid.com suvlights.com I got my Philips HID from phoenixhid.com. Unbeatable quality and price. They look really sweet with the projector beam lenses in my '95 Millenia. Great glare control. Check it out! Learn more from the Philips forum: http://www.lighting.philips.com/forum/forum_6/wwwforum.cgi Good luck!

I have not had a chance to test drive a Millenia yet. The reviews say that the steering is too light. Is this true?
