  Ehhh.... - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By Patrick - November 23 - 10:00 am

  Got this used w/ 200k miles. Engine light was on, showing P0430, P0400, and something else. The car is pretty rough mechanically, and needs a lot of work. The engine and transmission are still great, after 10 years and 200k miles. I changed the spark plugs and the check engine light went off, only to come back on a day later. Has weird exhaust noise (prob not the cat conv.) and the struts were completely shot (got those replaced) and I think the mass airflow sensor is bad. A common problem on this car. Overall, its a nice vehicle, but if youre buying used, plan on spending some money on repairs. At least $1000...

  Not a bad car - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By II3 - June 9 - 5:53 am

  I just got this car a couple of weeks ago from my mom. It has 110K on it which obviously means that its not in perfect condition. However, the engine and tranny are excellent and you cant tell whether it has 110K or 60K. The other parts arent so perfect. The sunroof doesnt work properly, and one of the tweeters from the sound system, which is excellent by the way, is fading out. Nevertheless youd expect something like that from a car with 110K on it. Other than that the car is awesome. I need to do some regular maintenance on it and itll be perfect. Just make sure to fill it up with premium gasoline because the performance is much better and according to Infiniti its required.

  Reliable and Comfortable - 2000 Infiniti I30

  Reliable and comfortable car. Has all the creature features a luxury car should have. Drives like a big car. Sluggish off the line.

  Love this car! - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By babboo - February 7 - 2:00 am

  I have been very satisfied, now almost a year, with this car. I could not find a better value in this class, and I looked at the usual suspects - Lexus, Audi, Lincoln LS, Acura, etc. - before deciding on the I30. Reading some professional reviews, it seems to me there is a bias against this car due to similarities w/ Maxima. But it provides more refinement, nice luxury features and better styling. I wholeheartedly recommend!

  Like sands through the hourglass - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By jeh255 - October 16 - 4:26 am

  Bought my car new and mostly liked the quality. Had the brake trouble listed in the forum and it was corrected early on. Since 50,000 (now 55,000) the car is like a "problem time bomb", alternator, power seat, oxygen sensor. All expensive repairs. these are all problems reported in the problems solution and reported in service bulletins. Should I buy another Infiniti? I expected more for the price I paid. I didnt think cars failed at 50,000 miles anymore.Should the manufacturer take some responsibility for their product? I think so.

  2000 I30T - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By wtfletcher - May 24 - 5:51 pm

  Very good looking car. I purchased it new. We noticed that the car does not handle well. When you go into a turn, it feels like the front tires are beginning to slide. I purposely drove it into a corner unusually fast ( plenty of recovery space) and the car does slide badly. I took it back to the dealership and they said it was perfect. Well, if thats perfect, dont expect me to purchase another infiniti. We have replaced the brakes including calipers and rotors numerous times. Calipers freeze up often. It will stop on a dime, but having to replace the brakes every 15,000 to 20,000 miles is beyond excessive. Ill never purchase another Infiniti/Nissan.

  Infiniti 2000 I130 Touring - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By PJ Mcewan - July 20 - 8:30 am

  I thought this car would be like wearing sturdy shoes, good for me but no fun. I was wrong. After 7 years of driving, I still love this car. It is mannerly, strong, reliable, actually fun to drive, delivers power as needed, and the styling actually looks good to me now. I guess true friends always look attractive.

  Alright - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By YARNELLF - March 28 - 2:56 pm

  My fiancee and i just purchased this vehicle and i have to say that this was a very wise purchase for the both of us. We are both full time students with a 4 year old daughter, so reliability was our biggest concern. It handles very well and the comfort is mind twisting. My only dislike was that the body style could have been a little bit wider for my liking but it will due for the meantime.

  Engineers - Listen UP! - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By tustintony - March 27 - 10:00 am

  I would consider this vehicle Very Good to Excellent. It is roomy, handles as good as other cars I have owned. But, although there are a number of creature comforts, I believe that the engineers who design the Infinitis dont ever own or ride in them.
