The 93 G20 was very reliable. I put on 140,000 miles on it and it had no major repairs outside of scheduled repairs and tune-up items. No surprises at all. Impressive. The car had excellent pep and acceleration so long as there was only two people in it and no cargo in trunk. Fill it up with 4 adult passengers and truck of luggage and crank up the AC, then you can actually feel the engine being taxed on freeway on-ramps or long hill climbs. Speaking of trunk, it is large for a car this size, used the then new "Cab forward design.

I drove this car for 4 years as a residential Realtor and ran it hard -- other than the normal things like brakes and batteries, never, ever had a problem. My teenagers have each had the car for the past 4+ years and it is still the most solid, dependable car one could ask for -- approaching 150,000 miles.

I've owned my 1993.5 G20 since 1997. Bought it at 37,000miles and presently it has 213,967miles. This is the best car I have ever owned. It has never failed me. I replaced original water hose at 185K, speaker packed up at 197K and starter at 203K. Apart from those three items, everything in my G20 has performed flawlessly since 1997. Even the highly rated Acura and Lexus are not this trouble-free. I love my G20, WONDERFUL CAR INDEED!
BEST CAR EVER INVENTED!!!!!!

The car is 9 years old now and Ive put 285,000 miles on it! Its an automatic and has every option. The leather seats still have no rips or wear the power windows and sunroof still work perfectly. The paint and plastic parts on this car have held up better than any other car Ive ever owned. The things Ive had to do to this car have been absolutely minimal. Ive had to replace the thermostat ($75) a power antenna mast ($35) and the battery once ($110) All of the other maintenance was done on time, and wasnt a shocking price. I am about to trade this in on the new G35. But I STRONGLY encourage anyone
Best car I've ever owned

I bought this car used in 1995 because after test driving many, many cars (mostly new), this was the one my wife wanted (it was to replace her '89 Taurus). She drove the car until the fall of 2002 (I then bought her an SUV). This was, without a doubt, the best car I (we) ever owned. The car has 150,000 miles on it. It continues to handle like a dream and has never failed us!
Fun ride

Bought used at 193kmiles and has a little over 210k now. Cannot imagine that it could drive any stronger, even when it was new. Great mileage despite driving it hard. Slow from a stop, but plenty of torque and power to get up to highway passing speed! Losing it to my kid at college, but confident it will treat him well,
Its way better than a CIVIC

Bought it used for $2000, now has 140,000 miles. Havent done anything to it other than gas. One time I got 35MPG with 80% high way. This car is very stable on highway compared to all my Hondas I ve owned in the past. Fun to drive and 140hp is more than enough.
You will not find a better car

I purchased this car used with 57,000 miles on it. Now with 127,000 I have replaced the brakes and clutch (5 speed). Everything works like new. I have friends that are now trying to buy the same car for their kids. This is a 93. I do not like the 97 + cars. they are more like a sentra and do not have a similar level of performance.

This car was the first car that I have ever owned and I do not want anything other then it. I bought the car with 83,000 miles and had it until 140,000. I only changed some electrical and the alternator on the car which only cost me about $550 over a 6 year period. Recently, the transmission will not hold 5th gear, so I decided to move on and trade it in. I am actually in the market looking for a G20 between 2000-2002 because I just can not get enough of this car. They drive fantastic and look so good for an older car. I plan to keep getting Infinitis because of their reliability and performance on the road.
Good Car

I bought this car off my mom. It's an ok car but you have to watch out for the infiniti dealers. They replaced the clutch and 3000 miles later it was gone and the refused to replace it under warranty. Also the abs break flued leeks at around 80,000. THe part is a $1200 fix, but you can drive on the broken part for quite some time. The inside is comfortable, its somewhat stylish, my window also stopped working that cost me $250. The engine is not built to be handled by anything more than an older woman.

I bought the car with 194k. Engine was perfect but swapped for jdm nissan primera SR20. Catalytic Delete, tuned ECU. Dynoed at 180hp with just those mods and i'm getting 28mpg city. Body is perfect except for two rust holes, no frame rust, beautiful clean interior, insulated very well. All accesories work including the R12 A/C. would recommend this to anyone who wants a luxurious daily-driver/sleeper. Very easy to work on from a mechanic's perspective. I only wish they had put in cup holders. drilled some plastic ones into the bottom of the dash. 120mph on the highway all day! very technologically advanced for its time
Loved the car

Great car, had it for 8.5 years and would have kept it for another 2 or 3. Terrific reliability, nice but perhaps boring styling, fun to drive (5sp). I was told they made a conscious effort to copy the BMW 3-series (which at the time deliberately did not have cup holders). Nice interior - no cupholders though. After 8 years, only problems were a defective oxygen sensor and one other engine problem. Got side swiped and had to be totalled. RIP.

This was the first new car I ever bought and after 15 years it's still going strong at 242,000 miles. I bought an Infiniti because this girl I liked at the time drove one and I was impressed with the brand. I could only afford the G20, but what a deal it was. No car payments for 10 years now. My wife has suggested selling or donating it. I think not.
Not as great as everyone's saying

Bought in 2006 with 135k; now at 170k, I have many issues with this car. The lack of a cup holder is absurd. I've replaced 3 out of 4 pwr window motors, the sunroof motor is about to die, the A/C has recently started acting up. I've replaced an engine mount 3 times. In the summer, after driving for about 30 mins, gasoline fumes fill the car--dealer can't figure out the problem. Fuel economy not what I'd expect from a 4cyl. I get 20 city, 24 hwy. I will say the exterior styling is good-doesn't look 16 yrs old. Also, it has some features not found on many cars today (pwr passenger seat, heated mirrors, lighted entry system). Can be fun to drive when A/C off. VERY SMALL BACKSEAT-no legroom.

My car was purchased 93. Have a lot of fun with it especially when the boost kicks in. You guys should try it with turbonetics turbo upgrade and greddy parts. My car is old but it will definitely smoke any new g20 389whp!!!!!!!
Great first car!

It's been about 3 years since I owned my G20 but I loved it so much I feel that I should write about it. The G20 gets excellent mileage and its SR20 engine is highly regarded as one of the most reliable engines ever built! My car had over 190,000 miles on it before I sold it when I moved away. Even with 140hp this car still can move quick and is very stable at high speeds. Very comfortable to drive long distances. Definitely am looking for an Infiniti as my next car!
I'll miss our G20"

After 17 years it's time to say goodbye to this reliable family car. Why? Twenty-first century safety and fuel economy realities demand that gas-guzzlers and cars lacking all the safety features no longer should carry your family members---or anyone else for that matter. But over the years this car rarely required repairs (one blown tire, replacement of front shocks and one bad engine mount --- that was everything in all those years. We still have not decided what will replace it.
Finally time to switch

I've had so much fun with this car, but it's finally giving out.. But at 17 years, and 112k miles most of which were short-range, I'm OK with that. Now, the 5th gear pops out frequently which seems like a frequent problem with Nissans/Infinitis around this model year. Also, my kids are starting to outgrow the back seats (twins are almost 8 years).

I bought this car 4 years ago with 91,000 miles on it. It now has 157,000 miles on it and all we have had to do was put in a new water pump and clutch. What a fantastic car. I will drive it till I cant drive it no more, and that looks like a long way off. And it will be replaced with another Infiniti for sure. But this time one with cup holders.
Great investment

Bought the car from my relative who needed a minivan. He didn't want to give it up, but he's glad I am taking care of it. It had a few minor blemishes but otherwise it's really a great car. Too soon for me to tell about reliability, but I expect drive this thing until it dies, or until I need a minivan. Why do people buy new cars?
great car

I had hardly any trouble at all with it. I bought it used w/64,000 miles on it and it ran great until almost 180,000 miles before I had to replace the transmission. Now it runs just as good as it did before. It's so nice to have a car that doesn't have something going wrong w/it every other month. It makes me scared of buying anything other than an Infiniti. Infiniti has it's reputation for a reason. Luckily, these older style G20's don't look like a 1993 car.

I've owned my 1993.5 G20 (5 spd) for almost 9 years. Bought it at 22,000mi, and it now has 167,000mi. Best car I've ever owned. Absolutely bullet- proof, unfailingly dependable, and best steering of any car I've ever driven except possibly the original VW Scirocco. Replaced original clutch at 160,000, alternator replaced under warranty at 30,000, ABS servo (inexpensive, minor switch replacement) had to be replaced at 135,000, Cruise stopped working at 155,000. Other than those items, absolutely everything in this car has performed flawlessly for 9 years, including AC. Can't imagine a more trouble-free car has ever been made. GREAT CAR!

I bought this car with 1100 miles on it and it's not approaching 100,000. I love the way this car drives. I have no inclination to replace it because I still love driving it after 14 years. Seats are perfect. Cornering is a dream. Quiet ride. Has aged well. Plan on keeping it another decade. I just love this car. Wouldn't sell it or trade it for something new.

Had this g20 since new. Replaced entire exhaust, new Perellii tires, fuel pump, brake lines all after direct hit from hurricane Irma that made rags out of undercarriage from tree parts pushed under it. In process of driving back to Canada car running from police chase rear ended me pushing us off into the ditch totaling her. Does wont open or close, rear wheel broke off. Loved this car so sad. Running well at 100 or 45 below. Liking for a replacement. Had less than 10000 mileage, inside no dammage to seats or trim save for one fingernail mark on handle shelf.
