Used 1996 INFINITI G20 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
G20
This is my wife's car, I am more of a truck guy. The car is reliable for the most part. One time the spark plugs actually broke. I don't know how it happened but the car would spit and sputter so I looked it over and found the culprit. Other than that I have a broken collarbone right now so I drive it, and it is very comfortable we even drove it to denver without a hitch. Over all the car is a good but far from great.
Lots of Love for my G20
I bought my 96 G20 three years back with 118,000 and now have 160,000. It's been a great little car. I have had to perform a number of maintenance jobs on the car including a new water pump, new front axle and boot, new crank pully, and strangely one of my rear wheel bearings went bad. Other than that just regular maintenance. So it's not without it's faults. The car is quick, reliable and handles very well. It's fun to drive and for what you get for the price you can't beat it. The engine (Sr20) is one of the best engines of it's time.
Excellent Car for the $$$
Nothing but a good experience with this car
Reliable, reliable, reliable
Better than my Camry, then Accord, and reliability of G20 coupled with super deal made it a no-brainer. Walked out the door with a new car with a 60k warranty for $12k even plus taxes. Dealer has always been great. Only failures were ABS relay at 58k under warrantly, wiper link at 84k, replaced clutch cable then, too. Other than fluids, only $340 maint costs in nearly 6 years! Still on original battery, clutch and brakes at 93k, and I tend to drive hard. Passengers cannot believe a car with 90k+ is so quiet. Interstate mileage 32-33 mpg at 70-72 mph average speed. Will hate to replace it when I give it to my son.
Excellent
Bought this car brand new in 96, and have not spent one penny on repairs. The heating/cooling fan switch did need to be replaced in 1999, a small repair which was covered by warranty. Other than that, its been perfect. I've only changed the oil a couple of times a year, and the air filter once. That's been it.
