Summary:

Pssst! Mazda makes a secret luxury car... keep it to yourself.
By Ted West, NewCarTestDrive.com

The Millenia S is an elegant example of affordable luxury. It offers a broad range of attractive attributes, and its assembly is uncommonly fine, on a par with the very best. Its pleasingly contemporary appearance is representative of the best in Japanese design with just a dash of hunkered-down aggressiveness to set it apart.

Inside, the Millenia S delivers comfort and ergonomic competence of a high order. The materials used, from the elegance of the S model's leather upholstery to the tactile solidity of the switchgear, confirm that this car is worth its purchase price.

But what truly sets the Millenia S apart is its award-winning Miller-cycle engine. A paragon of resource-friendly fuel efficiency, it seems to do the impossible, using a small 2.3-liter engine's fuel appetite to deliver a much larger engine's responsiveness and excitement.

The Millenia S is a complete luxury automobile, and given its hotly competitive new price, it's no wonder sales have begun to climb steeply. So if you're in the market for luxury sedan and want to spend your money wisely, then sneak down to your local Mazda dealership. Just don't tell anyone our secret.

Overview:

The Mazda Millenia S, with its unique 210-horsepower Miller-cycle V6 engine, is one of the most interesting cars in the near-luxury class. A crisp-handling sedan that encourages you to go home the long way, it's coupled with the kind of gracious creature comforts that'll make you want to invite the boss along.

And in the matter of value for dollars, the Millenia S must be considered entry-luxury's secret weapon -- especially in 1999. That's because the generously equipped Millenia S, furnished with just about everything you could expect in a deluxe sedan, sells for 15.2 percent less than it did in 1998. Without degrading this car's content in any way, it's been discounted $5,550, to a Filene's Basement price of $31,045.

But with all the luxuries on board, no one will know you bought this sleek, energetic automobile on sale. To the contrary, given the rarity of Mazdas on the road, a Millenia S will set you apart from the everybody's-got-one sedans in valet parking. At a generous discount, you'll be the "interesting stranger" people want to know more about.
