  Wind Noise - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By William Close - April 17 - 2:06 pm

  The wind noise has been so bad, we cancelled our summer trip to North Carolina. Eight trips to the dealer, telephoned to California. After a year of frustration, I was told " we do not make that model any more sorry". I am paying off the 39 month lease for $24,000 and selling it to local dealer for $20,000. Anyone else had this sad experience?

  Beautiful Styling & Craftsmanship - 1999 Infiniti I30
  By brunk - February 23 - 10:00 am

  Beautiful styling in that it is not tail heavy. Attractive 2-tone paint & neutral gray interior with lots of comfort gagets.

  Love it! - 1999 Infiniti I30
  By RamsFan - February 5 - 10:00 am

  I bought my i30 used and have had it for just about a year now. I absolutely LOVE IT! The transmission is the smoothest of any v6 Ive driven to date. Besides a strange rattling noise that went away as quickly as it came, I have had no problems with it. The car is a pure joy to drive.

  I love this car! - 1999 Infiniti I30
  By mnscott - January 17 - 10:00 am

  I have been a Nissan/Infiniti convert since 1995 with the purchase of my Altima. Until now the best car I have ever owned and I had 3 Hondas before that.

  Lemon - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By Jean McDonald - December 19 - 11:23 pm

  I purchased this car new. It drives good handling is excellent, fuel economy good, this vehicle was great until it got to 65,000 miles then it started to come unglued, it now has 85,000 miles on it now, sensors are going out one after the other, struts gone, front axles out now, brake calipers replaced, catalytic converters replaced to many items to list have been replaced, am trading it in for a Ford as soon as I get it out of the shop.

  Full sized touring classic - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By yUngstar - December 17 - 8:26 am

  I purchased the car from a buddy of mine with 170K on it. I noticed that the belts needed changing right away and wasnt too sure about the ride, but was told the suspensions may need to be replaced in the next couple of years. Since I have owned the I30t have noticed some deserting things, such as the CD player not working a grinding in the front caliper and jerking from the engine on occasion.

  It spoils you. - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By WWMike - December 7 - 2:00 am

  This is my 3rd. Infiniti, and I must say Im spoiled. Quality and service far exceed my Acura and Oddessey during the same period, and I will stick with Infiniti for good. Resale is better than reported. My first 2 held their value remarkably. Niec to get another Infiniti to drive even when I go in for an oil change, its worth every penny if you value your time. Never get thos recalls that Honda issues weekly on the Oddessey.

  Best Luxury Value - 1999 Infiniti I30
  By Fred Garvin - December 5 - 10:00 am

  If youve always loved the Maxima, but always thought something was missing...this is the car for you! Its got the power, the performance, and the reliability that makes the Max such a great car....but it looks more refined, its more comfortable, its got a bit more class, the warranty & dealer service is much better and its got a few nice "suprise" features that will make you smile everytime. I wouldnt buy it new, but its an absolute value used!

  1 yr of owning - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By yjmontreal - December 5 - 1:53 am

  purchased 1 yr ago at 117,000km. now at 130,000km. had to replace alternator. CEL comes on and off telling O2 sensor is bad. car pulls good when you floor it but during normal throttle, car feels heavy and big. turning circle is very big. fuel economy isnt great. regular can be used but premium recommended. Very good on highway cruising. long list of options but the material quality isnt up to acura/lexus. doesnt have MIST wiper operation that sweeps only once (even civic has this feature). need to turn on the wiper and turn off for occational wiper sweep. Trunk space is HUGE. interior space is HUGE as well. Standard HID is good but need more brightness.

  Not reliable - 1998 Infiniti I30
  By llola - December 3 - 11:55 am

  I bought this car about 5 years ago and have had nothing but problems. I bought it with about 110,000 miles on it and thought it was a great car after doing some research. The stereo is broken and the volume nob is worthless. The starter was replaced after it wouldnt start. The battery was then replaced after it wouldnt start again. I had to replace the alternator. All within the course of five years. The ABS (airbag) light started to blink a couple years ago and I cant figure out what the problem is. Recently it wont start. I had it checked by a mechanic & he searched the whole car and cant find the problem. Unreliable car! Too expensive!
