Good Solid Reliable!
by Satisfied on 05/05/2010.
Trim: 2001 Infiniti I30 Luxury, Owned 3 years.
3
Pros:
210,000+ miles and going strong! Very reliable. Purchased vehicle with 127K miles and have since put nearly 100K more!
Cons:
Sits low to the ground, seatbelts are shorter than almost any other car I've been in which can be uncomfortable for larger people. Only had one problem while on vacation where a sensor went out and learned that not a lot of people know how to work on them. Lucky for me, it rarely needs work!
Overall review:
Good car, built to last!

A good car but not great car
by Zzzoomer on 12/21/2009.
Trim: 2001 Infiniti I30 Luxury, Owned 4 years.
1
Pros:
Same parts as Nissan Maxima makes them readily available at reason prices. Bose stereo, Good cabin space. High low endl torque. No major mechanical problems - more minor mechanical issues than the lexus es300. Owner's manual provides easily instuctions for doing your own periodic maintenance - oil pan plug and filter very close together allowing drainage of both without spillage.
Cons:
Purchased car (off lease) with 90k miles on it. Replaced alternator; VSS (variable speed sensor); Radiator replaced due to crack in plastic; Wheel Rotors in front warped-replaced with eliptical slotted rotors/ceramic pads all 4 wheels; Right front strut lost seal-replaced struts/shocks with KYB-GR2's. Check engine light on(mechanic says the O2 sensor is dirty). City/highway MPG: 22-Premium Gas(no Ethanol), hard on tires due to high low-end torque. Mid level torque is fair and upper level torque is almost non-existent. Cabin noise levels are acceptable but higher than expected in a luxury sedan; the body style and branding is obscure and some people easily confuse it with a Mazda 626.
Overall review:
Overall, this car is a good and for the most part a reliable car. I am glad I purchased it used - considering the new car pricing, a comparable Lexus model would have been the better buy. The difference between a Maxima and the I30 are purely cosmetic - mechanically they are the same and that can be good and not so good. One would expect mechanical upgrades like the ceramic brake pads and slotted rotors, dual piston calipers, upgraded struts/shocks, etc.

My Last Car!!
by LoveMyInfiniti from North Carolina on 12/09/2009.
Trim: 2001 Infiniti I30 Luxury, Owned 1 year.
1
Pros:
The style, performance, interior design and comfort level. Always get compliments on how it looks a lot newer than a 2001.
Cons:
Not a whole lot at all. I LOVE this car!! Of note my Infiniti also had the Air Flow Sensor and another sensor go out, other than that, really no issues.
Overall review:
I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a sharp-looking, reliable, and high performance, low maintenance vehicle. You won't regret it!

120,000 Miles and Going Strong
by B San Antonio, Tx on 08/12/2009.
Trim: 2001 Infiniti I30 Touring, Owned 2 years.
1
Pros:
Overall it has been a great run. No major problems, just regular maintanence, switched to synthetic oil. Runs flawlessly, handles and performs great, I get 22-24mpg in town, 28-30 hwy. Love the Bose stereo. I am in real estate so I love all the room in back and the luxury appointments throughout. The large trunk with fold down rear seats is nice also. Added Yokohama tires from Discount Tire and improved the ride and handeling a great deal. Everything works like new, no slop in any of the switches or controls, fit and finsh are still good. The styling is classic and don't think it looks dated even after 8 years.
Cons:
I wish the turning radius was tighter, but you get used to it. I wish that it did not use premium gas.
Overall review:
I purchased this I30T from the local Infiniti dealer in July 2007 with 80,000 miles, I now have 120,000 miles. I highly reccomend this vehicle. Sport with luxury, practical and dependable...a great combination. If you find one that has been well maintained you will not be disappointed!

Probably the last car I will ever have
by An MSN Autos Consumer on 08/12/2008.
Trim: 2001 Infiniti I30 Luxury, Owned 7 years.
1
Pros:
The overall looks, the pick-up,the Bose radio,
Cons:
The seat belt binds my neck, even if iit is adjusted. Recently, when I turn the key to start, it will not start unless I turn the steering wheel back and forth several times with my foot on the brake.
Overall review:
These are no big things...just little annoying ones. I have actually loved this car from the beginning and really have no plans to make a change in the near future.
