Summary

What Edmunds.com says

A Sentra masquerading at the Infiniti ball.

Pros

Sharp handling, Infiniti customer service, attractive styling.

Cons

Weak four-cylinder engine, Sentra-like feel and interior space, fills a niche nobody asked to be filled.

What's New for 2001

G20t comes with standard leather and a power sunroof this year. Luxury models can be equipped with leather and a manual transmission simultaneously. And hold on to your hat -- the side marker lights switch from amber lenses to clear.

Review

We bought this car in 2001 as for its style, comfort, economy and reliability. It's now seven years and 160ks later and it still feels and drives like a new car! I'm astounded at how tight and rattle-free the driving experience still is. We have repaired O2 sensors and wiper arms under warranty, changed tires and brake pads, replaced the power antenna, and changed a couple of light bulbs. That is all and the car drives like new, I am not kidding!! The original re92 bridgestone tires were awful in snow and ice but lasted 90k until they were taken off and thrown as far away as possible! This car should never have come with those tires as standard equipment!

Favorite Features

Unique styling, solid feel like a larger car than it is, comfortable leather heated seats. interior accommodates my 6'6" size, sunroof works well and still seals tight, Bose stereo,

Review

I bought this car used five years ago, and I plan to drive it another five. Reliability has been wonderful, very few minor problems, struts and brakes. Love the handing, ride, and seats. I can drive this car for 11 hours straight and not feel fatigued. I'll recommend this car to anybody as a great used car to purchase.

Favorite Features

Interior & exterior styling, reliability, handling and 32 mpg freeway, 28 mpg in town

Suggested Improvements

More horsepower? Driver's cup holder does not hold most coffee cups.

Review

This has been a great car and it's still going strong. The mechanic that checked it last said it still has years of life left.

Favorite Features

Nice interior, exterior, good gas mileage, fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

I have never figured out the air conditioner - it's either hot or cold. And the turn radius is fairly wide.

Review

I am reaching 175,000 miles and still running pretty well. I did have to put in a rebuilt transmission but considering that I have not kept up with manufacturers maintenance it still ran well. It was well worth the cost.

Better cup holder.

Review

Infiniti only made this car for a few years, so finding one in good shape was hard. I purchased mine in 6/06 with 54K. I've since logged 16K on the car and the only maintenance was new brakes, oil changes and a power window switch. The car is plush, comfortable, handles well, sips gas and is great to drive. The engine is peppy, but could be more powerful. The Bose stereo is great, but what's up with the cup holder?

Favorite Features

Handling, awesome looks, efficiency.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holder?
