Infiniti I 1993-2004Change

We bought this car used & it is still running very well,. The exterior is still looking good, stylish * respectable. Lots of room inside & comfortable seats.

This has been a fantastic vehicle and has given us trouble free driving. Must sell to allow new car to be in our garage. Friends who see our car can't believe it isn't a new car. Would I buy it if I didn't have a car? A resounding YES. How would I rate this car. I haves loved it from the day I bought it off the showroom floor. I've driven Lincolns, Cadillacs, Jaguars and non have had the quality of this Infiniti. We've also owned the Infiniti I30t and the Infiniti Q45. Because we loved the J so much.

Been driving it for 6 years now and only had to change oil do the brakes and tune it up.Very reliable car they run forever if you keep them up.Best car on the market that year.

I have driven this car for 3 years and been happy with it. It's a real luxury car. It is a fantastic ride and very comfortable. Best car I ever owned fit and finish is great. If you are looking a car that handles and performs well for the price, then this is the car for you.

Very reliable smooth running car. I have owned and driven this car for almost 10 years, and had no major manufacturing incidents.

This car had no major concerns in 7+ years of ownership, is a smooth ride, and comfortable. The repairs it requires can be easily done by someone in the know, and it should be in good working order once repaired. I am simply opting for a newer vehicle at this point. It still gets good gas mileage! The power front seats and moon roof make it fun to drive!

4 80% new snow tires. very reliable, fast and cool air condition, powerful engine, all power options are good.

The most comfortable car what I ever had. Everything on the right spot. Looks a little old fashion but a very fast and sporty car. The fuel depends from your right foot. Can be 8L but 13L/100 KM too.
I love this car. When you drive a luxury car but if you need some part, just a Nissan.

Really tooken care of this car,

Maintence, all up to date
Service , all up to date.

No accidents,

Never red line the vehicle.

Family car, and it has very low kilometers, and its all ready to go

Never had any troubles with the car, smooth ride great on gas, everything is just perfect. New tires, new oil change, new brakes, new lights everything has been done. Ready to go and drive anytime.

Made it through a lot of years and km's - I personally think there are prettier models available, but disregarding my pickiness about styling, it's been a great family car! My only concern with the mechanics is that today, I'd pick a hybrid or something that doesn't require filling up all the time.

Had this car for 5 years, fairly well on gas consumption, interior was amazing, not a bad body for that timeframe of 2000

I traded in my Audi for this car and I have to admit I was impressed!!!

The interior is really spacious and looks sleek with wooden panels. The exterior of this car is actually really nice. The paint is premium and the wheels are large for a family car.

It has a beast under the hood! It has amazing acceleration, better than my Audi. Really impressive handling through sharp corners and feels really light.

However be careful, it is expensive to maintain. It eats premium gas very quickly and the repairs are enormous. I started having lots of engine problems around 190,000km and these problems were too expensive to fix. Even the light bulbs in this car are expensive (Xenon lights).

I love this car, it is extremely comfortable and amazing to drive. It has lots of power and features that are still not available in most cars today (10 years later).

This is a fun car.

Fun Factor / Performance Feel
-The car (the older years) are not too heavy, yet it has a higher than average performance engine.
-This gives it a better power to weight ratio.
-Meaning it accelerates very well (especially compared to stuff at this used price range).

Handling
-Average, however this leads to a challenging situation since it accelerates better than an average car.
-For 'passive' drivers this will not be an issue (but why would you buy this over a Camry if you drive in a passive way?)
-For 'aggressive' drivers this will be fun but you can easily find yourself in tricky situations, it depends how you want to look at this.

Reliability
-Its above average (its a Nissan)

Overview
Its a fun car, gives more :) smiles :) per dollar since its more fun than the heavier new cars out there but you have to be careful for the same reason.

The I30 is not a car that is going to get you noticed. I'll be the first to say that it has the style impact of Grandpa's cardigan (and in fact you'll see quite a few grandpas driving these). But don't let the mild-mannered looks fool you...there is something more going on behind the sedate exterior.

It's a mid-sized 4 door sedan but I feel like it handles like a much smaller car. It seems to me that Infiniti has focused more on creating high-performing cars over luxury appointments (vs. say Lexus). That being said, the Bose sound system & the leather in the I30 are both top-notch. Three people can ride comfortably in the back and it features a good-sized trunk (I've done several moves with this car so I can testify to it's large storage capacity!)

I like the fact that I have the power (the engine is a V6 with 230 hp) to pass when I need to. Although it can be a bit sluggish in downshifting when going up a steep hill. My I30 is over a decade old and I've had minimal issues with it. Last repair was an ignition switch replacement about 2 years ago so I'd say reliability is great. Gas consumption is OK given the size of the car.

Overall, if you want a flashy car don't bother, but if you want a dependable car with understated luxury & good performance the I30 is a great option
