  Wifes trash is my treasure... - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By Ron - March 23 - 4:03 am

  Took 00 I30t from wife, for whom I just bought silky-smooth, quiet 07 Lexus ES 350 because she hates noisy, bumpy I30 that she drove 6 yrs. I love this deal! (So does she!) I value perf, handling, luxury & style, which I30 has plenty. High wind noise is no issue because I play loud metal on excellent Bose stereo. Wife treated it like baby, garaged it, so its immaculate. After recent extensive prev maint, fixing silly trash can lid dash compartment, & installing hi-perf tires, its LIKE NEW. Other than bad alt & occaisional coil misfire (we replaced all coils), it has been very reliable. Interior is spacious and luxurious. My car status is now excellent! I plan to drive it many more years.

  Reliable - you decide - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By LTR gone bad - March 3 - 8:53 pm

  Car purchased new. At 50000 car began to self destruct, power seat, alternator, SES light, new brakes at 55K, transmission slip, engine ping. All service at dealer. At 60K SES light on again, brake calipers bad. > $4000 in repairs in 2 years. Trade in at dealer on new MSRP $40000 = $5000 before todays 2 grand. Am I still a happy customer? NO! Like the new G35, but would I buy another Infiniti? Doubt it.

  The Shine is Off! - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By DPayne - February 16 - 9:00 am

  I bought the I30t with 47K miles 2 1/2 years agoI was very happy with it until about a year ago (100K) and it has cost me about $3K since then with the latest being the ign. coils ($1K). It also has developed rattles and a strange metallic clunking in the right rear on uneven pavement (dealer cant find - DUH!). I still like the ride and power, but for $3000 a year in maintenance and squeaks,rattles, and clunks, Im starting to question whether I wouldnt be better off with something that gets better gas mileage and uses 87 octane.

  High Mileage - No Worries - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By AZ Driver - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Hesitant to purchase w/ 76k, but have not had any problems yet. This car has enough power and mechanic says it will go 200k w/regular maintenance. Perfect realtor car! Purchased for $13k out the door and will buy pre owned luxury before brand new mid line again. Wish it had navigation which is very rare on these cars. Priced better than Lexus with even par quality. Performance with decent MPG. Transmission is as smooth as could be.

  Dont Want to Lose It - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By Mike - January 17 - 12:10 pm

  This car started out as my moms, she drove it for six years and then passed it down to me when my car bit the dust. It just feels like an all around great ride, smooth, classy, and reliable. Very few trips to the shop each year, usually one thing at a time, the kind of problems that come with an aging auto. At best Ive been able to squeeze 29 or 30 mpg on long highway drives, of which Ive been doing a lot of. My favorite part about reading other I-30 reviews is how long everyone intends to keep theirs until 300,000 miles. Im passing mine down to my younger brother, in favor of a newer car. No doubt itll keep running.

  Great for the money - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By blue devil - December 11 - 2:00 am

  Given, I just upgraded from a Toyota Corrolla - but I think the I-30 is great. I looked at the ES 300, Avalon, Acura TL and RL - while theyre all great cars the I-30 was the best bang for the buck - superior rear seat space (vs TL and ES 300) - smoother ride than the Avalon - and much less expensive than the RL or ES 300. Although it was probably my least favorite exterior design, after test driving it I knew it was the best overall luxury sedan value.

  good car - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By matt f - December 6 - 10:00 am

  63000 miles so far engine runs great so quiet you dont even know its running. Transmission shifts perfect. Great braking performance, very good in rain and light and moderate snow. 21mpg mixed driving. 14000 miles on car since purchases, brakes still ahve 75% left on them. Seats comfortable brisk acceleration. Great car overall.

  Dependable - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By Mike - December 1 - 8:03 am

  The Infiniti I30t is a very dependable car and very fun to drive. I am the second owner of the vehicle. When I bought it the car had 56,000 mi and now has 150,000 mi. Because it is a touring edition to do ride comfort and turning radius because of the stiff suspension. The car is very safe. I t-boned someone and the car crushed in all of the right places. Thank God it wasnt totalled. I am still driving and I drive it like I hate it. I plan to get over 300,000 mi. out of this car.
