  Great car - a few minor glitches - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By Aldon - December 9 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car 1 year old with 29k miles. Exceptional car overall. Ride and handling are great. Comfort is superb. Gets about 27 mpg. A couple of small problems. Had two incidents where the check engine light came on - both burned out oxygen (O-2) sensors, both replaced under warranty. At 74k miles the motor or switch on the rear sun shade has just gone out - no manual override. Also, I am not a fan of the VR tires. While they may increase handling capability, they are noisy, rough, and have a relatively short tread life. Overall the car is great and the problems to this point have been minor.

  Just a nice reliable Nissan with Infiniti badge - 1999 Infiniti I30
  By celticstallion - November 12 - 4:01 pm

  I purchased this car used with 53,000 miles. I now have 75,000 miles after 1 year. It drives very well and its even better on the highway which is what I think it was made for. It has decent pickup as well. It has classy looks for the age of it and for the price you pay for one its much better than a newer domestic car in my opinion. Interior is decent but comfortable. It has been very reliable and I dont for see any problems in the near future. For the bad, The check engine light came on after a month and this is from the Mass air flow sensor. This causes the car to lag in acceleration after starting it up when cold, but if you let it run for a minute it does not cause any problems.

  Mediocrity at its best - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By gecurb - November 9 - 10:00 am

  Good car, but not great. Does most things ok, but could be better. Ride is harsh, feel every bump and imperfection in the pavement. Transmission frequently slow to downshift (sometimes feels like 0 to 60 in 8 minutes). Big turning diameter is frustrating. Fortunately, it is reliable. I find it difficult to find a really comfortable seating position for both the wheel and the gas pedal.

  I 30 wins my vote - 1999 Infiniti I30
  By Spotcoolerman - October 25 - 2:00 am

  This car is my ninth Nissan/Infinity product. Each gets better than the next. The car rides like my g-friends 528 BMW with the same acceleration and comfort with more room. I personally believe these cars are the best dollar for dollar value on the road. The only maintenance I have had in 14 years is to get an oil change and rotate the tires. Thats value!!

  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.

  Still Happy - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By Baylor88 - October 6 - 10:23 pm

  I purchased this car with 27,000 miles on it and it was 4 years old. It has 117K miles on it now. It has held up very well. O2 sensors were replaced under warranty. I purchased it with a certified used warranty from the local Infiniti dealer. This with worth the premium I paid. That warranty was good until 100K miles and the service I received was excellent. My complaints are that the vinyl seat edge is wearing out on the drivers side. Everything else in the interior still looks great. I wish it got better gas mileage about 23 overall - but given the size and power of the car thats not bad. Very comfortable. Quick but a little heavy feeling. Very solid feeling.

  Kinda loud - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By skikwik - September 9 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had my 2000 I30t for 1 1/2 weeks. I can only enjoy the Bose Stereo System when Im traveling on a perfect newly paved road, other road types drown out the awesome stereo system. Dont quite understand why Infiniti would put so much emphasis on no wind noise and totally forget about those noisy tires.

  EXCELLENT - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By Candy French - August 17 - 2:06 am

  I love my car! I have 80000 miles on it and have owned it since 1400 miles, never given me an ounce of trouble. I love the dealership, they give you loaners for anything you have done on the car! My only concern is that I was told not to take it over 90000 miles, that is when it starts to get expensive to maintain. Guess its time to shop for a new Infinity soon!

  Stay away - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By mas4497 - August 10 - 2:20 pm

  I read reviews before I bought this car, and it seemed like a safe choice. All scheduled maint. was provided by the dealer but at 80K the problems began and havent stopped. MAF sensor, 2 alternators, drivers seat motor, O2 sensor, another problem has just popped up and its sure to be another. $1,000. Low price is not worth the thousands spent in repairs, not to mention it has left me stranded 3 times in 3 years.

  What a mistake - I miss my Tahoe! - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By TWBnMD - July 1 - 4:20 pm

  I was forced to trade a Tahoe LT to get something with better economy ( I have a sizable commute thru Baltimore). It started out OK, but slowly deteriorated to become a vehicle I cant wait to get rid off. No more Infinitis for me - EVER.Theres this "clicking noise in the climate control ( fan at lowest setting ). AFTER I got this car I found out. Infinity "fixed" it, nope. Ill never be suckered into a "premium" Japanese auto again ( unless its a Lexus ).
