Try the I-30 before you buy another car.
As a first-time buyer of an entry-level luxury sedan, I shopped around before buying my I-30. After taking it for a test drive, I was sold. It has more room than anything else in the segment (both inside and in the trunk). It has more power than all except the most "performance oriented" cars. It has a smooth ride, better warranty, AND IT COSTS THOU$ANDS LESS!!
Good but a problem
I love my I30 except for one significant problem. Pinging/detonation. Frequently when I give it substantial gas on accleration I get pinging. I run premium gas and have talked with the dealership. They indicated they could try cleaning the injectors but there weren't any guarantees this would fix the problem. I would not buy a 2000 model year again. Go up to at least a 200X model that has the 3.5 liter motor and higher horsepower. I think they improved the computer program to fix this problem and allow the car to run on regular gas.
Wonderful Vehicle
I leased an Infiniti FX 35; however, I returned and wanted to stay with the Infiniti brand. I purchased the I30t with 65,500 miles and the vehicle is not even broken in, yet. I am the second owner and could tell the vehicle was garage kept and hardly driven. The vehicle does sit-low (but I did go from an SUV to car). If you're thinking about buying one, do- it!
Alright
My fiancee and i just purchased this vehicle and i have to say that this was a very wise purchase for the both of us. We are both full time students with a 4 year old daughter, so reliability was our biggest concern. It handles very well and the comfort is mind twisting. My only dislike was that the body style could have been a little bit wider for my liking but it will due for the meantime.
Almost perfect!
I love this car. Previous experiences: 1980 VW Scirocco, 1994 VW Jetta, 1994 Subaru Legacy wagon, 1970 MB 280s, VW Golf, 1998 Volvo GL wagon, also Caddies, and MB SL...... This is about the best. Quiet...Fast...Fantastic engine...good tranny....elegant (black) interior...etc. Best stereo i ever owned!
