Reliability at its best!

This is my second I30, last one was running fine at 140k. I now have 155k on my 97 I30, it runs as if it was new. Car is not as peppy as most people say, takes about 9-10 seconds to get to 60 mph. Handling is disappointingly spongey, stiffer suspension would be great. Since owning the car I have replaced the radiator, brakes, egr valve, knock sensor, the spark plugs and front struts. Engine and tranny still feel like new! If you are looking for a comfortable decent looking commuter car, than look no further!

I bought my 97 I30 in 2000 with 38k miles on it. Now in 2007 I have 125K miles on it. Durring that time I have had absolutely no problems. The engine is just as quiet as the first day I drove it. No interior rattles or squeaks. I would like to buy a newer vehicle but I can't see trading in such a reliable automobile for another. Maybe the engine will finally give out at 200k so I can get a new car.

The Best Used Luxury Car

I bought my I30 with 72k and just over a year later I have 106k. With a day- to-day driving and vacations this car is a true work horse. I have had two issues with the car was an emissions issue I had while registering the car in DC that set me back $900, and I had to replace the blower motor. Since the car was an Arizona car that doesn't surprise me too much. For a luxury sedan it gets respectable MPG, and on a cross country trip I got 30 MPG out of a few tanks. I also have a 3 year old girl and with a roomy back seat it's easy to get her in and out.

I am the original owner of this 97' I- 30. Not only was the car a great preformer but the Infinity experience was also excellenct. After 147,000 miles of driving this automobile, I recommend it highly. This car is as reliable a car as I would ever expect. A very good automobile.

Luxury and Performance for a low price

Got this car about a couple years ago, and other than the oil change never had to do anything else. At 100k miles it still runs is quiet, and is in great condition mechanically and body condition. I think this is the best family car with a great sporty feel for that money. The 3 litre v6 gives you a powerful yet pleasant ride. I love the way i can take off from stop lights.
