i am an ase certified master technician and i work for honda so believe me when i say the g20 is one of the most reliable cars ever made. the motor, transmission, and suspension are all bullet proof. my g20 has 198k on it and it gets 30-32 hwy mpg, doesnt leak, or burn a drop of oil, has the original alternator, water pump, and radiator. sometimes i have to make sure the car is still idling because it idles so smooth. i want to buy another one but my wife wont let me lol. but one is all youll ever need 300,000 miles on original motor and trans is definatley achievable. i cant say enough postitive things about this car, if you have a chance to own one i reccomend it.
loved this car

Im 18 yrs old and i always wanted a g20 finally my parents purchased me one for my graduation gift. i absolutly loved this car. The interior is so cozy and the exterior is so stylish. Believe me when i tell you this car is extremely safe. Last week another car ran a stop sign and hit the side of my car. Right away the side airbag came out and i did not even have a scratch on me. I am so thankful i did not get hurt and i cant wait until my g20 gets fixed.

My G20 is approaching 10 years and I am original owner. This car has been like a tank. It's held up very well with no mechanical problems. I've changed brake pads (front) and batteries twice and tires once. I got nissan brand wiper blade replacement which are much better than anything else. I changed air filter a few times. Engine is so reliable that it still idles at 700, same as original factory preset. Suspension still good, but of course not quite as perfect as new. A/C ice cold. Stereo, cd and cassette same as new. Steering has not lost any feel after all these years. Clearly Infiniti built this so solidly and it was made in Japan.
Very Reliable

I bought this car after selling my '99 Audi A4. The performance and handling do not match the Audi of course, but so far this car is much more reliable. You don't see too many of these on the road either which I like. Overall, I'd recommend this as a quality used vehicle to consider. It's just not as fun as the Audi or my previous VW Jetta's. But that's okay, it's also not in the shop every three months like those German makes.
The best car ever made

I've had many cars: Multiple Honda's, Acura's, Lexus, BMW, Mitsubishi's etc... By far...This car is the best car ever made. I'm so thankful for this car. It gets amazing gas mileage and it is bullet proof. The mechanic was shocked that just about everything I had in this thing was stock. The only thing you may change is the 02 sensor. 122,000 going strong!!
Love this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this car. My husband bought if for me brand new in 2000. The g20 sedan is a great car. Needed a new alternator about 3 years ago and got new hoses about 2 years ago. but nothing major just regular wear and tear. Ive got over 160,000 miles and still going strong. I would never, never, never trade or sell my car. I am very happy and loves the way it drives. I also enjoy the compiments by the way the color is Autumn Bronze........ ps please be religious on the maintenance of your car... thank you Sewell Infiniti..........

I think the driver's seat is one of the most comfortable I have sat in. Infiniti paid a lot of attention to details despite it not being a luxury car. Look, it is a 4-cylinder, so you aren't going to get the V-6 effort, but you do get good gas mileage, and the engine isn't that bad. What you are getting is a practical car that has some very nice features that practical cars don't always pay attention to. It is only 150 lbs lighter than my 1999 Camry and it is a smaller vehicle...I like the extra "weight" feeling. Love the car, and hope it works for several more years. I really like the side and behind profile, but the front seems rather ordinary.
Great Little Car!

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.

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!
Great solid Car

Almost 10 years in my G20, nothing ever wrong with this car. Great city and urban transport. Lacks power for long uphill climbs but can't be beat around town. High quality interior. I will not sell it.
No regrets.

The car is very fuel efficient. Handles great, mine has the rack and pinion steering, makes excellent for maneuvering in bad weather. Overall, the appearance of the vehicle is amazing, infiniti paint job, sporty body similar to Mitsubishi's Lancer.

This is a great luxury car that won't break the bank. I have about 80k miles on my G20 and it runs excellent! The engine, naturally aspirated, doesn't have much giddy until you reach the power bands, but the stock SR20DE engine responds very well to modifications. My G20 has held up beautifully over the years and I have had to turn down quite a few offers from people looking to purchase it from me. The multi-link design suspension which is similar to that of the Nissan 300ZX and Skyline GT-R has proven to be excellent under severe weather conditions.
One Awesome G20

I bought my G20 new in 2000 and now its 2009 with 147K and runs like a champ. In the beginning it had the new car issues but after 80K it's like it can't be stopped. I had put some performance upgrades like pulleys, intake, exhaust which greatly improved life and performance. If you're thinking of purchasing this car I would say yes.

I bought my G20T when it first came into the market in October, 1999. Then, it had one of the best engines with competitive hp and torque for 4-cyl engine. And, it does pick-up fast enough. To date, it has been riding great! No regrets. Also, the customer service at the dealership, including FREE hand-carwash every weekend and prompt service, makes a big difference. Still, if you want more power, go get the new G35!

I have loved my 00'Infintiy G20. I have only owned Infinity G20's and have never had any problem with them. They have been very dependable and not too expensive to fix the minor things that need to be replaced with time. They are very comfortable and always look very classy, even the older moldels.
24 years old and still going

I bought a 2000 Infinity G20 in 2021. It only had 95000 miles on it. It’s been a good car. It now has 125000 miles on it. The interior quality is not that great nor is the paint. The car is not fast at all in its original form with the automatic transmission. I do know that some people modify the drivetrain and can make it faster. It’s a comfortable commuter car. Just don’t pull out in front of anyone and think you will be able to get going fast. If you are over 6 ft tall it will be tight to drive. Space is limited. For a 24 year old car it’s not bad. It’s basically a gussied up Sentra. Turning radius is bad. Real bad. The Bose sound system still sounds decent even after 24 years. The leather and soft touch points of the interior are dried out and cracked. Again it’s an old car and has outlived its expected lifespan by a decade. I drive it everyday around 80 miles and the gas mileage is good.
So far so good

I've owned my G20T for a about a year now and overall it's been quite reliable. I did however have the blower/heater fan replaced under warranty due to a high pitch whine. At the time of the purchase I was also looking at the Volvo S40 and the Saab 9- 3, but the reliability of Infiniti swayed me.

I had the 2000 G20t for 4 years. It is auto w/leather, and sunroof. I added the 16" rims from the 2002 G20 Sport, which enhanced the appearance and handling...Car has been great for the past 4 years, and I put close 60k on the car with no mechanical problems. Highway gets around 30mpg, and in town driving gets around 24mpg...handles very well and tight...Car still catches lots of attentions after 4 years, styling is incrediable.

I got my G20t new in 2000. It now has almost 70K miles and no problems at all. It still garners compliments on its looks. It will outhandle cars much newer and costlier. The leather seats are some of the most comfortable ones out there. Plus, it gets great gas mileage. I average almost 30 mpg year round in mixed driving. Of course, I have a manual which goes a long way towards solving any perceived power deficiencies. Infiniti missed the boat with this car. They should have given it some upgrades and put either a turbo or the 2.5 engine in it. If you can find a nice one used, grab it. You won't regret it.

This is my second Infiniti G-20. I've had my 2001 G-20t for 13 months now, and have experienced the same driving pleasure as with my 1994 that I put 160K miles on. A 5 spd manual is a must due to the 150HP 4 cylinder engine. Pick-up from a dead stop isn't fantastic to due the 150HP 4 cyl, but the G-20 loves to be pushed (particularly around the 3500-6000RPM range), and is very fun for the aggressive driver. I average 34/30mpg.

Bought my G20T 5speed new in 2000 and 175K miles later it still drives like the day I bought it. Tires, 1 clutch, brakes, belts and hoses (normal wear and tear items) is all I've ever had to do for it and I still get 32 MPG. No rattles, squeaks or electrical gremlins that plagues other cars its age - a true testament to the engineering and build quality of Infiniti. Simply put this is the best car I have ever owned and I still get compliments on it 9 years later. I fully expect to get 300K miles out of this car but when the day comes that I finally give her up you can be sure that I'll go to the nearest Infiniti dealer for the next G- whatever that happens to be new that year.

As a previous owner of an Acura, I have been even more pleasantly surprised at the reliability of the Infiniti by contrast. Since the rear seats fold down, the car has a surprising amount of cargo space. Loaded with extras such as a Bose sound system, heated seats, moon roof and more, I have been spoiled rotten for almost two years now. I'm very happy with the car and it's low price. Plus, it's a sleek, sporty car that handles great and fits nicely into tight parking spots.

A lot of bang for the buck! They should have kept this model and given it some extra horsepower. Great handling and very little roll in the turns. Get the stick shift for extra fun a little more zip.

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?

To replace my '89 BMW 325ix I narrowed the search down to the Acura 3.2 TL, Audi A4, another 3-series BMW or the Infiniti G20. Determining factors were the wonderful seats, stability and performance at highway speed, all optional features I wanted were standard except for heated seats which my salesman got on a swap with another dealer, beautiful Bose stereo, price $7K below the lowest of the others, and the best warranty and dealer service. Nice little surprises were a cargo net, a leather holder for CDs, really nice millenium jade metallic paint and 30+ mpg on regular fuel.

The car is extremely reliable. I have taken it on 1000 mile one-way trips (once, soon after I found that the rental car didn't have cruise control and the people were just plain idiots) and all I had to do was check tire pressure and fill gas. Fuel economy @ 21/29 could have been better, for a car this size and (lack of) power. The exterior looks as good as new and as stylish after 7 yrs and has a great pleasing interior. Been asked a lot of times if the car was new. There is a great enthusiast community who are awesome. Excellent dealership network/service. BUY THIS CAR if RELIABILITY/ECONOMY/GREAT STYLE are your keys to buying a car. Seriously, you wont regret it.

I have had this car for almost a year now and I still get excited to drive it. I have the 5 speed manual and it is a hoot to drive. I test drove an automatic version before buying my current G20t and i noticed a huge difference, the auto seemed to really rob power. This car doesn't have a lot of horsepower, but i've never had a problem passing anyone, third gear is very long and you can get going fast in no time. There is also a great community online where you can have any question about this car answered.

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.

Bought it a month ago (Touring, 5 spd) for around 6K. With 6K, choices are limited but I can say a used G20 would be way better than other car in this price range. I am very satisfy with this purchase.

Bought this car for the wife Feb 2000. Has 135K 7 years later and outside of regular maintenance (inc tires) the only expense has been a starter and a battery. Though not strong on HP the car is really fun to drive. It handles curves better than any car I have owned. The sound system has been great. The leather interior has held up well and after a wash and detail, the car looks almost new. Excellent paint job.

Apart from numerous small problems, this has been an excellent car. I wish it had a little more UMPH! This is the only reason I'm looking to buy a different car this year. This car should never have been sold without a turbo option. A turbo would rock in this car. Also a lot of rattles and vibrations and rough ride but all around excellent car.

I bought my 2000 infiniti G20T today...and let me tell you. That car FLIES! Has so much power for a V4 engine! When I was driving it...everyone was looking at it and even a guy at the gas station came and checked it out. My friends and family envy my car now. Couldnt have asked for a better car!
