Vehicle Highlights
Mazda's flagship sedan line is unchanged for '02 and will not return for '03. Millenia is offered as the base "P" model with 170-hp V6, or as the uplevel S with a 210-hp supercharged V6. Standard are a 4-speed automatic transmission, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, leather upholstery, and sunroof. Traction control is available on both models.
COMPETITION
This hotly contested segment has two clear benchmarks; the Acura TL and Lexus ES 300. Both succeed in blending comfort, style, luxury, and sport into an efficient package at an affordable price. ES 300 offers a little more luxury and TL, with it's Type-S, a bit more sport.
We Recommend the sporty and Euro-flavored BMW 3-Series as a rear-drive alternative. The "3" has enough bodystyles and engine choices to suit anyone. At the other end of the near-luxury spectrum is the posh and comfortable Buick Park Avenue--an old-school luxo-cruiser from Detroit.
