Used 1998 INFINITI I30 Consumer Reviews
1998 Infiniti I30
I bought my 1998 Infiniti I30 used in 2000. It had 25,000 miles on it. It now has 71,000 miles. Overall, it has been a very reliable car. It has had a few problems (recall on power steering hose and alternator) and the battery exploded! However, a new one was installed and there was no damage to the electrical system.
Best experince
I am far from the kind of guy that would write a review, however after looking at the things other people had to say regarding their experience, I wanted to share mine as well. I originally leased the vehicle in 98, and went over my yearly mileage because it was so fun to drive. I had a freakish accident which caused a small fire under the hood (alternator) that happened within the first 6 months of the car, but it was fixed and I have had no major problems at all. I took the car in for regular maintenance which added to the overall longevity, but other than that; no problems.

Reliable I30t
This was my first Nissan after owning three Toyota's. I have had the same wonderful experience with quality as I did with the toyota's. Now 7 years old and 125K miles - this car has had not one problem except with the initial battery which was replaced by Infiniti with apologies. I will definately consider another Infiniti - now if I can save enough for the M45.
My Baby
I bought my Infiniti in September 03, and it has been great. I commute 60 plus miles daily and needed a reliable, quiet car. I'm typically running late in the mornings, and the I30 does a wonderful job of getting me to work on time. Currently there is about 80k miles and have had absolutely no problems. The 3.0 V6 is a masterpiece, super smooth, wide powerband. For being such a big car it is very light(approx. 3100 Ibs). Standard Bose audio system is better than most factory audio systems. Sounds great even without a subwoofer.
Best car I ever owned.
I purchased my 1998 I-30 in 2002, as a used car with 40K miles on it. I now have 297,600 miles on it. Outside of normal maintenance such as tires and brakes, I replaced the alternator once and the battery once. I change the oil every 3000 miles or as close as possible. It is the best purchase I ever made (and trust me, I have purchased some dogs over the years). I wish I had another just like it.
