Review
When I got my G20, it needed some work (new tires, struts, instrument cluster, battery) but aside from those repairs I have not had any trouble at all. It's great to drive and I enjoy the long distance trips in it. Could use a little more power under the hood but it still does great and doesn't cost me a lot at the pump. I'm very happy with this car and looking forward to making it a show car in the future.
Favorite Features
Looks sporty on the outside and luxury on the inside. Seems like a great first car and looking forward to many more years with it.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders would have been nice and a little more power under the hood but that is about it.

Review
I bought my Pearl White Infiniti G20 brand new in 1996 and I'm still driving it after nearly thirteen years and 269,700 miles. It has been an excellent car and quite reliable. No rust at all, no rips on the interior, original paint still shines. Very comfortable seats. Plenty of room in the trunk. I had to replace the engine at 190,000 and the transmission not long before, but still a very pleased G20 owner. The G20 runs strong but acceleration is slow. I plan to keep maintaining it and driving it locally. It would probably be fine on a long trip but now I have a new vehicle that my family prefers.
Favorite Features
It's dependable. I know I'll always have a car that'll start and get me to work if the new one gives me trouble. This car has better quality features than most new ones. The dashboard and center console still look new.
Suggested Improvements
*It came with no cupholders. *Repairs have been very expensive, even for the minor things. *It has very little trade-in value for such a nice car.
Not bad for 500 bucks

Review
I got this car from my cousin after she was rear ended, so the insurance totaled it. It was just a trunk lid and some light. Fixed it up for 80 buck (good old u-pull it). It had 167000miles and I had all the maintenance records. It has never had clutch, or suspension work. The only problem I have now is that the clutch is slipping, and the tach does what it wants to. Not bad since it has 202000miles on it now. I also don't know how you people drive but I don't jack rabbit start or drive in a lot of traffic so that is why I still get 24-28 in town and 34 to my best of 38 on highway wit regular. All I have to say maintenance, maintenance.
Favorite Features
fuel mileage, reliable, and very comfortable for a 6 foot 4 guy (tilt wheel)
Suggested Improvements
cup holders

Review
In July I saw an ad on Craigslist for a '96 Infitini G20 for $750. I called, went to look at it, took it to my mechanic and bought it the next day for $500! It needed a few things to pass inspection, then after a 200 mile trip it needed exhaust pipes replaced. It seems to be good now, it has 189,7xx miles on it so it's no real surprise. But for a total cost of $1300, I love this car!
Favorite Features
Comfortable seats, sunroof, decent factory stereo, gas mileage (we get 28 MPG highway).
Suggested Improvements
Cupholders!

Review
This is my wife's car, I am more of a truck guy. The car is reliable for the most part. One time the spark plugs actually broke. I don't know how it happened but the car would spit and sputter so I looked it over and found the culprit. Other than that I have a broken collarbone right now so I drive it, and it is very comfortable we even drove it to denver without a hitch. Over all the car is a good but far from great.
Favorite Features
I enjoy the room the front two seats have to offer. Also very fun to take out and go drive somewhere without worrying about having to fill it up
Suggested Improvements
Needs cupholders!
