Used 2000 INFINITI I30 Consumer Reviews
10 Years for Fun
We purchased the I30 New and have had small problems from time to time. As others have reported , coils replaced, oxygen sensor, and alignment problems. A fun car to drive and average 23 MPG. Plenty of power and still in style after 10 years.
What a mistake - I miss my Tahoe!
I was forced to trade a Tahoe LT to get something with better economy ( I have a sizable commute thru Baltimore). It started out OK, but slowly deteriorated to become a vehicle I can't wait to get rid off. No more Infiniti's for me - EVER.There's this "clicking noise in the climate control ( fan at lowest setting ). AFTER I got this car I found out. Infinity "fixed" it, nope. I'll never be suckered into a "premium" Japanese auto again ( unless it's a Lexus ).

Nice car, but bad reliability.
I bought this car about a year ago with 45k miles on it and have had problems ever since. Upon purchase I had to replace the belts (which is to be expected for a 7 year old car). What I didn't expect was the catalytic converter to fail (which Infiniti covers up to 80k miles), the A/C compressor to fail, all 6 coils needed to be replaced, the muffler was banging the bottom of the car and the CD player stopped working. At this point, about $2500 has been spent on repairs. Luckily we bought an extended warranty. My other car is a Nissan Altima and I really like it. But, I doubt I'll be buying another Infiniti.
After 3 Maximas, pleased with I30
I've been a long-time Maxima loyalist, attracted mostly by a good ratio of luxury to performance, and adequate head room since I'm > 6 ft. The I30 was a nice step-up, I had everything I loved about the Maxima with a bit more snob-factor and better service at the dealership. I've been very happy... Anyone is welcome to send e-mail for more info.
I30
After owning BMW's and Acura's for the 15 prior years I decided to look at the Maxima's and I-30's along with the Acura. The I-30 was the top choice and continues to live up to my expectation. So much so that my husband purchased a 2001 QX4 14 months later.
