Review
Bought my G20T 5speed new in 2000 and 175K miles later it still drives like the day I bought it. Tires, 1 clutch, brakes, belts and hoses (normal wear and tear items) is all I've ever had to do for it and I still get 32 MPG. No rattles, squeaks or electrical gremlins that plagues other cars its age - a true testament to the engineering and build quality of Infiniti. Simply put this is the best car I have ever owned and I still get compliments on it 9 years later. I fully expect to get 300K miles out of this car but when the day comes that I finally give her up you can be sure that I'll go to the nearest Infiniti dealer for the next G- whatever that happens to be new that year.
Favorite Features
Reliability, gas mileage, auto up/down window (you laugh but most cars only go down automatically, not up too - a really useful feature), still fun to drive after 9 years.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holder is small and awkwardly placed, auto transmission makes car sluggish - suggest you find one with a manual tranny instead.
One Awesome G20

Review
I bought my G20 new in 2000 and now its 2009 with 147K and runs like a champ. In the beginning it had the new car issues but after 80K it's like it can't be stopped. I had put some performance upgrades like pulleys, intake, exhaust which greatly improved life and performance. If you're thinking of purchasing this car I would say yes.
Favorite Features
Gas mileage, handling, leather seats are comfy. The main reason I bought my G20 was for the look. I believe that no other car except for a Saab looked this good.
Suggested Improvements
Everything on the 2000 is perfect except the sentra motor now if they had put the altima 2.5 175hp motor this car would've been the best car ever. But then again it is a bit slow on take offs. For extra improvement get an K&N intake it improves 5-8hp and look into a universal exhaust for added power
Affordable luxury car

Review
This is a great luxury car that won't break the bank. I have about 80k miles on my G20 and it runs excellent! The engine, naturally aspirated, doesn't have much giddy until you reach the power bands, but the stock SR20DE engine responds very well to modifications. My G20 has held up beautifully over the years and I have had to turn down quite a few offers from people looking to purchase it from me. The multi-link design suspension which is similar to that of the Nissan 300ZX and Skyline GT-R has proven to be excellent under severe weather conditions.
Favorite Features
Looks, fuel efficiency, reliability. All the luxury amenities with a suspension that'll make you want to spin the wheel.
Suggested Improvements
Sports coupe?
135K and still ticking

Review
Bought this car for the wife Feb 2000. Has 135K 7 years later and outside of regular maintenance (inc tires) the only expense has been a starter and a battery. Though not strong on HP the car is really fun to drive. It handles curves better than any car I have owned. The sound system has been great. The leather interior has held up well and after a wash and detail, the car looks almost new. Excellent paint job.
Favorite Features
Styling, handling, and sound.
Suggested Improvements
More HP and of course, better cup holder location.
