  Bang for the buck - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By Raj Venkat - April 21 - 3:50 pm

  Got it used with 68200 miles on it for dealer trade-in price. What a beauty! It is one of the most elegant Infinitis around (past and present). The engine revs effortlessly and the transmission shifts smoothly. Very sturdy at highway speeds of 80 mph. The leather seats are large and comfortable and it is so roomy inside. It definitely likes only premium fuel as I hear an annoying growl when I press the gas with 87 octane fuel. Mileage is not as good as I thought, 21 mpg mixed driving and 26 mpg on highway. The tornado fuel saver did not improve mileage. There is an annoying rattle coming from around the beautiful analog clock when the ext. temp is cold but disappears when the car warms up.

  I LOVE my Infiniti I30! - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By althomas8 - April 1 - 8:56 pm

  I originally wanted the Acura TL but my husband kept pushing me to test drive the I30. I was convinced before I even got to the dealership that I wouldnt like it. Well, as it turns out, I loved the I30 and we bought one that night!

  The Best Bang For The Buck - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By infinitely-eternal - July 24 - 2:00 am

  The I30t is an exceptional vehicle from its standard features, luxed-out interior, handling, performance, elegant but sporty body design, too its price. The I30t beats its rivals with more luxury & comfort amenities, more horsepower and it costs less.

  Can you afford it? - 2001 Infiniti I30
  By bonedatt - June 11 - 7:21 am

  I was looking for a second vehicle for job and everyday commute and settled for the 2001 Infiniti I30. Coming from a German made 2009 VW Passat and now a 2012 VW CC Lux Plus, the expectations were already high. The 2001 I30 lived and still lives up to this expectation. The interior and exterior are beautiful. There are technologies on this vehicle that I think even the Germans can still borrow from to add to some of their "future" vehicles :-). Dont get me wrong, German engineering is still up there but this car holds its own. The question potential buyers of this vehicle may want to ask themselves is "can you afford this"?. I dont mean the buying price, but the cost of maintenance.

  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.
