  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...

  Beauty - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By Macadamianutz - September 9 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car new. This being my 1st foreign vehicle, its definitely been a new and exciting experience. I will never go back to American cars. Ive had absolutely no problems w/my vehicle at all. Its a very reliable piece of machinery and its very well put together. The car gets good gas mileage and has good speed/get up and go. the dealership staff has also helped in making the difference. Infinitis customer service is the best Ive ever encounted.

  Infinti Warranty - 2000 Infiniti I30
  By Shalchi - August 18 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 2000 Infiniti I30t for 7 months now; it had 46,000 miles when I bought it. however when I took it to the Infiniti dealer for repeated check engine light they made me buy an $18 gas cap to eliminate the light problem rather than they fix it, InfinitiÂ’s so called bumper to bumper warranty was like fender to fender, oh by the way their life time warranty on the paint is a big lie also, front end clicking noise was a concern as well, Infinite consumer affairs was not a big help either, and Infiniti will try so hard not to honor their bumper to bumper warranty.

  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
  By inthemula - April 5 - 10:00 am

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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.
