2001 INFINITI I30 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful
Bought the car in '05 from Team Nissan in Oxnard, CA. They failed to inform me car had been in an accident. (Hood didn't have VIN, etc) Put 80k on it in four years, but didn't have it running for 18 months of that. Replaced wheel bearings, two new alternators, VSS sensor, starter, ignition, radiator... Fine when you punch it, but very heavy otherwise. '05 Altima V6 tromps this car with offline and during-driving quickness(but with only 23 more hp). I like the exterior and interior, but leather seats cracking, clock wand rattles, wind noise from back window, paint fading horribly. Wanted an Infiniti from day one, only enjoyed it for a year then it became a $ black hole. F You, Team Infiniti!
Hated it From Day 1

Wind Noise

The wind noise has been so bad, we cancelled our summer trip to North Carolina. Eight trips to the dealer, telephoned to California. After a year of frustration, I was told " we do not make that model any more sorry". I am paying off the 39 month lease for $24,000 and selling it to local dealer for $20,000. Anyone else had this sad experience?
A pleasure to drive

We considered Audi, Volvo and VW Passat. The Infiniti was a hands-down winner even though we had to endure a rugged sales experience. The 60,000 mile warranty was huge though we have not had problem one with the car -- except for the time she decided it needed to hit a concrete pole at the car wash. Note: The fog lamps are quite expensive.
Top notch highway cruiser

Recently pulled the I30 out from an almost 3-year garaged hiatus and it still looks fresh after all these years though the paint has seen better days. Cruises effortlessly on European highways with cruise control set at nearly 100mph. Excellent midrange power at the expense of fuel economy. Suspension is tuned for comfort; car gets unsettled during small-radius backroads turns. After 60,000 miles only problem has been with O2 sensor, otherwise trouble- free. I can foresee keeping this car for at least another 5 years. The Bose radio alone merits this, though the rear parcel shelf mounted subwoofer can become boomy. Otherwise, great value, great car.
