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.

The 1997 Infiniti I30 is for the person looking for a safe bet. The looks aren't aggressive and the maintenance is INEXPENSIVE. There isn't a timing belt to worry about snapping on you as in other fine Japanese cars. This runs on a timing chain. The spark plugs are EASY to replace VS other Japanese cars where you have to remove the top intake. The car's gas mileage isn't close to what Edmunds shows on the specs, it's a lot higher! Try 25 to 28 mpg! SMOOTH ride, like you're in a Lincoln. Powerful V6 to get you through traffic. Great car if taken care of.

The technical features of the V-6 engine brought me to test drive and I not only bought one but another Infiniti (I35) in 2002. These are great automobiles at very competitive prices. Have 107,000 miles and literally no engine work. Did have to replace the rear left brake caliper which was running hot.

Great riding and handling car. Keeping this car and trading in a 2002 car from another manufacturer.

This is the second I30 I have bought used. It was dealer-certified, so I got a 100,000 mile warranty. I have had no problems with the car in 3 years of ownership. The cost of ownership is LOW because Infiniti builds such a dependable car. This has to be the best car for the price - buy one 3 years old and you can drive it worry-free under warranty for 4 years
