This was my first "luxury" car since the '80s. After raising my kids, I wanted a car that I could drive for hours without feeling cramped. I love it. Lots of bells and whistles, but I bought it because of it's reliability rating with Consumer Reports. And it has proven incredibly reliable, including when I accidentally run over curbs!

Very reliable, but bad mileage (19/21). Suspension can be slightly squirrelly. Engine is great; way better than the variable cam Toyota V6.
excellent car!

After 3 Maximas, this was my first Infiniti. Car has been a pleasure, with only a couple annoyances. The reading light has burned out four times due to an apparent short that the dealership only identified after the warranty was gone. Leather has been faster to wear than in my Maximas. And the heater/AC motor has developed a loud growl that goes away after 2-3 minutes. Car still looks "fresh" after 6 years and 101,000 miles. Seats are comfortable. Turning radius is awful. It's like turning the Titanic in a farm pond. All in all, though, a good investment and outstanding driving machine for the open road.

Bought this car because of the good consumer reviews at the time. 1.5 years later I understand those reviews. This is my first Nissan product and I'm impressed. Love the firmed-up suspension and look of upgraded wheels/tires in the Touring model. Bought it for my wife, and I now drive it more than she does. This is the first four-door car I will actually admit to owning!
Reliable beyond belief.

Bought this car after a lot of searching. It is bigger than most it's competitors and is very well balanced for commuting and weekend excursions. It has been amazingly problem free. For the price you get a solid engine, good power, handling and acceleration and a lot of space. The local dealer is helpful but they charge way too much for any service. It's exterior styling is pretty boring but the interior has everything right where it should be. We'll probably drive this car for at least 150,000 miles without a hitch. (so it appears)

I am the owner of a 2000 I30t, in a direct comparison with other entry luxury cars (Lexus 300, Acura 3.2TL, Lincoln LS etc), it gave me the most bang for the buck - i.e. beautifully appointed, sleek lines, powerful engine and safety. Overall, I am very satisfied and I am now driving the closest thing to a large luxury car, e.g. BMW, Q45, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus (none of which I can afford) and still have all the amenities (sometimes more) for half or a third of the price!
Better Than Its Class

A pleasure to drive. It's so easy that sometimes you feel like you don't have to steer it. A luxury car at an affordable price. I think they raised the price in 2002
best for the money

I've put 70K miles on this car and aside from other people denting and running (mostly in parking lots) this car has been wonderful. Never a problem I've owned 5 other makes and this has been the least amount of trouble. Waiting for them to do a hybrid...
Not bad for how much i paid for it

Bought this bad boy for about $1800 about 6 years ago with about 160,000 miles on it. It is now over 300,000 miles. Issues i had to deal with were, leaking steering fluid (fixed with $110 dollar part), new left and right arm assembly, new rotors, and brakes, new left and right bearing. Had to replace alternator twice, one was faulty so got it replaced within 6 months for free. Did all the maintenance and repairs with a friend or myself. The power window on the driver side is no longer working, motor is bad, not going to replace it. too much of a hassle tp remove the door panels. I pretty much ran this car into the ground, yet it is still ticking. 300,000 miles is an accomplishment for a nissan engine i think. I think one of the tie rods is no longer good, or even an arm needs replacing. Just gets to the point to where, you don't want to put anymore time or money into it to. I'll probably be able to sell it for more than what i paid for it, because of the crazy car market. If you're mechanically inclined and can watch youtube videos on how to repair, replace, and general maintenance, you can pretty much save a lot of money on maintaining cars like these and used cars in general. Oh yeah, the key fob never worked with this car, had to buy an after market key fob, and it worked for a while, but now that fob no longer works, and bought new ones oem, and after market fobs and none seem to connect or work. Now I have to use the actual key to lock and unlock the doors. Can be a nuisance when your hands are full and trying to pop the trunk with the fob.

So I found this little gem accidentally and so far I’m completely falling in love. I’m coming from 4 BMW’s that have been the love of my life.. never really considered an Infinity though I’ve always liked their style… I have had it for a week and I’m day by day falling for this little car.. it handles fantastic on the freeway, it’s silent on the road and when idling, it’s faster than I anticipated, I agree the turning radius is not good but I can live with that! It has all the stuff I want except I’m replacing the stereo to a Bluetooth but otherwise I’m leaving the rest of the system intact the Bose speakers are great.. I’m really enjoying my new find! My daughter wants it! She’s almost 16 so I think she’s going to get this one and I’ll get a newer Infinity!! Maybe.. lol !!

A great car I bought used with 65000 on it. Have just replaced struts, plugs, belts, O2 sensors (rear), front stbilizer links. Average 27 - 28 MPG on premium @ steady 68 MPH. Paid 13K, just put $1600 in for above repairs. Excellent road car. Fussy about tire pressures on Potenzas G009. Too much results in hard ride. Bose great, A/C fantastic, not much wind/road noise. This is not a cheap car to maintain at the dealer, however I highly recommend using only the dealership for service. OEM replacement parts for this car are the only way to go. It should be put on the computer every time it goes for service. Car should go 200K miles relatively trouble free
Disappointed in repairs needed

Loved this car when first purchased but it has not held up well over time.Presently has 53,000 miles and have had driver autmatic seat break (very costly) oxygen sensor replaced, muffler replaced, brakes front and rear pads and rotors replaced, all 4 tires replaced, I expected better from a luxury car.
Uncomfortable

Nice car, but very uncomfortable on long drives. Cannot adjust seating to maintain comfort. I'm not an old guy either.
