Strengths:
Styling inside/out. Mine has a rear spoiler with brake light. Dark windows. The stereo sounds nice and the cabin is VERY quite. Great Ride.

Weaknesses:
Transmission is Jerky until car warms up. Front seats even w/lumbar support makes my lower back ache. The buttons on the steering wheel should light up and the sunroof doesn't even have 1 touch open/close. The drivers side power window has 1 touch down only? This a 2002 car and it doesn't offer the one touch options? Accessories for this car is limited BIG TIME!!

Summary:
I purchased my 2002 Millenia in Aug 2002. Purchased at a great price. This car has great style inside/out. The car is too big/heavy for the 170hp. I have gotten use to the power and now think it's a fabulous luxury car for the price paid.

Strengths:
Smooth ride, attractive looking inside and outside, impressive built quality, the power is not as bad as many people complain, quite engine, nice looking instrument panel and the entire dashboard.

Weaknesses:
Some road noise (mostly because of sporty high performance Michelin tires), transmission is not as smooth as on Maxima.

Summary:
I was looking for a sedan for over six months, and my searches narrowed down to two vehicles: Nissan Maxima and Mazda Millenia. But even that took me a while to make up my mind: powerful and unbeatable engine or smooth, comfortable ride and much better looking body stile. Finally I decided to go with Millenia. I am so happy with purchase, even after buying not a "most recommended" and discontinued model. Many standard features on my Millenia Premium can be compared only to Maxima's GLE model, which is much more expensive. Plus I got much better looking car than the Maxima (the rear end of the Maxima is truly ugly even on '02+ models with spoiler as well as the rims on '02 GLE). I don't think that Millenia's 2,5 engine is so underpowered as many people state, and it is even quieter than the famous Maxima's engine. For the money I paid for used '02 Millenia (15K mi) I could not even get neither ‘02 Maxima GXE nor’00 Maxima GLE. Even with some road noise the Millenia drives smoother and quieter than the Maxima. However, if you prefer power over the comfort of a nice car, go with Maxima. The only few cars that can compete with the power of Maxima are probably BMW 850 and Dodge Viper.
