1 yr of owning
purchased 1 yr ago at 117,000km. now at 130,000km. had to replace alternator. CEL comes on and off telling O2 sensor is bad. car pulls good when you floor it but during normal throttle, car feels heavy and big. turning circle is very big. fuel economy isn't great. regular can be used but premium recommended. Very good on highway cruising. long list of options but the material quality isn't up to acura/lexus. doesn't have MIST wiper operation that sweeps only once (even civic has this feature). need to turn on the wiper and turn off for occational wiper sweep. Trunk space is HUGE. interior space is HUGE as well. Standard HID is good but need more brightness.
Excellent Used Car
Bought my 2001 I-30T used off a one owner lease at 31K. I have now had the car for 4 years and it is still meeting my expectations at 85K. I've changed tires, belts, brake pads but other than one item (mass air flow sensor $300) all I have done is put oil and gas into it. It is sporty, plenty of power and averages 22 (19/25) mpg in mixed use driving and is quieter at highway speeds than the M. No rust, no probs, engine is one of the best.

Infiniti and Beyond
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!

dealership is great to work with but have had a lot of problems with car electrical, exhaust .
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.
