Used 1998 INFINITI I30 Consumer Reviews
Still Happy to drive after 8 years!!!
I can probably give the most accurate review for this car, I've owned it for 150K miles, bought it in 5/01 with 27K miles and now it has 176K miles. The car has been great so far. I had to replace the starter at 40K miles which was strange but after that thing that went wrong with it were my fault. Abused the car, raced it a lot, put many aftermarket parts (electronics mostly) it was my first real car. The transmission went bad at 100K miles, replaced under extended warranty. Just replaced radiator at 175K miles. For the past 2 years had cranking issues that no one seems to find out where it comes from, not even the dealers. Expect normal wear and tear this car has been holding up very well.
Not a disappointment
We have owned this car for over 8 years with minimal repairs (less than $1500 in that eight years). It now has over 250K miles and we drive it every day with no serious issues. Of course it is showing the wear of the years/miles, but still a very dependable car.

great car
its got great handle and its moves according how you want it and as you push on the pedal, it might be a luxury vehicle but it can give some cars out there a run for their money
Love my I30
Bought the car used from a private party for 4k and have never looked back. The car is extremely reliable with few repairs, except for the obvious, brakes etc. I just took it to the mechanic and he told me that if I continue to take care of it, should last me another 100k. Lastly for those of you with air bag light problems, there is a fix on the internet, haven't figured out how to do it yet, but it should get rid of the annoying blinking light. I have heard infinity wants upwards of $600 to fix, shame on you when it has always been a glitch with the system. Happy Driving to all Infinity I30 drivers!!
Celebrated 9th anniversary with #98 car
Bought my 98 I30 in August 2000 as a two-year off-lease vehicle. Has been outstanding performer for last nine years. Key to performance is great power to weight ratio, but car is still roomy for four adults. Engine and AT is perfect combo of power / torque and economy. Two design flaws to note: The glass that goes across length of trunk will eventually warp and let water into trunk and the volume control on audio will become useless. I had both parts replaced (entire radio under warranty) and both problems have come back again. Still been a great value and will drive at least another two years when I give it to my younger son to take to college.
