Used 1996 INFINITI G20 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Not bad for 500 bucks
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.
Best Little Luxury Car
Purchased it as a dealer demo,now close to 60000 miles with zero problems. Fantastic value overall.
GREAT performance sedan
After looking for an Accord or Integra 4 door, I settled on the G20 Touring. Loaded up with options, it is $1000 - $2000 less than Hondas. The reliability has turned out to be perfect. I can't believe another writer had only ONE problem in 50,000 miles and gives this car a 4 out of 10 rating.
A good buy, highly rated
I have had my 1996 G20 for a couple of years now. There have been no major problems with the car. Infiniti replaced a motor mount and an oil gasket under powertrain warranty (5/60). The 5 speed manual transmission is the best choice for the engine. You dont need to get the annual / mileage maintenance done at the dealer, it is rather expensive. Car-x and other facilities can service the car, the engine and powertrain are generally interchangeable with the Nissan Sentra.
Very Comfortable car!
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!
