Review

Mileage is 22 - 26 range. Runs well on regular, better on premium. Premium gives it better performance, while mpg doesn't significantly change

Favorite Features

Interior is upscale

Review

my family has been driving this car for about 2 years now (35000 miles) and we have not experienced a single mechanical or cosmetic problem. Great commuter car (25mpg) with heated seats, temperature control and bose stereo. I consider this a luxury car for midgets, anyone over about 5ft 10in has very limited space to move. interior materials are much nicer than a GTP and the i30 costs alot less than the 325i. I have never regretted myself buying the i30. However I still find myself dreaming of driving a convertible with the top down on a curvy road just as the sun is setting after a beautiful day. that i would trade my i30 for.

Favorite Features

bose stereo, climate control, acceleration, and the heated seats do wonders on an aching back.

Suggested Improvements

more hip and legroom. the driver and front passenger have little to no room to move their feet. also vents in the rear passenger area would maybe stop some whinning, with leather seats it seems to take for ever for the passenger back their to cool off. the back seat passengers for ever to cool off

Review

Backseat cup holders would be a plus. Back seat headrest obstruct view however, they are removeable. LImited leg room for larger people.

Favorite Features

Comfort. Large people would not think this car is comfortable.

Get up and go go

Review

The ride is smooth, car has some suprisingly serious get up and go, and the interior is very comfortable. The only downside is body style changed in 2000 and became more stylish. Mechanically this car is every bit as reliable as a Honda Accord, but in my opinion looks better and drives more comfortably.

Favorite Features

Power seats are the easiest to adjust of any I have tried.

Suggested Improvements

Control the radio from the steering wheel.

Review

I had been looking for my next used car from my usual list - honda, toyota, subaru, etc. when I spied a '96 I30 on the lot. I had never owned a Nissan product, but really liked it's lines, so I took it for a ride. It was love at first ride. I ended up buying a '99 Touring and really love it. It has 114,000 miles but drives like new. The drivetrain is quiet and smooth, yet packs some real get-up-and-go power. In the 3,000 miles I've logged, the oil level has not dropped so much as a hair. Mileage is consistently 22 MPG using regular gas and 70% backroads, 30% highway. I'm not a rich man, but feel like one when I'm driving it. The nicest car I've owned.

Favorite Features

Self-dimming rear view mirror, alloy rims, smooth ride, heated seats, climate control, reliability, Bose sound system, sunroof.

Suggested Improvements

No real complaints, but if I had to be picky, a holder for sunglasses would be nice, a compass, and a larger cup holder.

I have now owned two I30's and neither one has had any problem at all. The first had 95,000 miles when I traded it and this one has 115,000 and is going to be traded soon. What will I buy? I have already decided.. a G35 :) I'm an Inifiniti customer until they let me down.

Favorite Features

Realiability!

I'll always ask for more fuel economy ;)

Review

I bought my infinity lexus I300 and the toyota avalon and have been very happy except I wish it set up a little higher. I had a van before. Had heard nothing but praise about the 3 liter engine and it is great. I had to replace the starter at 75,000 miles but thats been all. It also gets great gas mileage 20-22 around town and 28- 32 on the highway. Don't see how anyone could ask for much better. I also use reg except around every 5 th tank I use premium.

Favorite Features

Fun to drive, great sound system easy to change oil and plugs. A rarity these days.

Suggested Improvements

Improve seat hieght which has been done on newer models.

2nd owner--previously a leased car. I have owned it over 1 year and mostly still enjoy the drive and handling.

Favorite Features

Classy and comfortable interior; nice bose system; love the woodgrain look plus all the std power features it offers for the $$$. Quick pick up.

Suggested Improvements

Improve gas mileage would be nice. Also freeway ride a bit noisy from wind -- could be body design?

Review

Bought this for $10500 out the door and can easily say this is an excellent deal. It has high mileage at 81000, but the engine and tranny are both very smooth. My brother has an 03 Maxima SE, and I find both cars very similar. I like my interior a lot better of course, but mine is obviously slower. The pro lem is is that both receive the same gas mileage, even though the Maxima has a bigger engine with more HP. Overall, I love this car, and think it's one of the best investments I've ever made.

Favorite Features

Stock bose system. High quality leather interior. Extremely smooth ride. Very cheap resale value.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, exterior design.

Review

I just purchased a 99 I30 and I love it, the car itslef is a head turner. Leather seats are comfortable, the speed and pick up is amazing. Bought it used with 36000 miles on it and a few items missing inside, but I went to the dealership and took out a small mortgage to replace them (just kidding), now the car is in mint like condition.

Favorite Features

Sun roof, Radio, automatic window opener, leather seats.

Suggested Improvements

cup holders tooooo small, should have heated seats standard, gas mileage sucks. I love this car.....
