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.
