With a reliability rating from edmunds of 9.7 the only rating that hold this car back is value (4.4). However, since the last j30 rolled off the assembly line in 1997 there are bargains to be found now. '97 J's which origanlly stickered in the upper 30's can be had for low teens. This is an exceptional vehicle--quick, stylish, comfortable.

Drove for 6.5 years without a glitch. This rear-wheel vehical cruised like my previous 6L JAG sedan. Safety is exceptional: Unfortunatly a heavy truck t-boned my car on driver side and propelled it head-on into a block wall. Although mycar was totaled- I walked away without a scratch. Infinity should bring this model back.

1996 INFINITI J30 4dr Sedan
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
I have always wanted one of the J30s. The rear styling is out of this world. Hard to believe that the MSRP in 1996 was $36k! Anyway, bought mine with 61k miles, serviced every 3750 miles and the 60k service was done except the timing belt, which is the one weak design flaw of this car. Other than that, I feel great driving this car. Buying premium not fun, but I balance it out. Flat ground- top off with 89. Hilly- 91 with octane boost. K&N filter and I get 26/27 MPG!
Luxury Ride at a Bargain Price

I brought a 1997 j30t used for about half the original MSRP. It's been practically maintenance free (just oil changes, replaced the front rotors). As with other Nissans, this is a super reliable car. The poor residual value makes this a super buy for someone looking for a luxury ride at a bargain price. The only drawback that I can point to is the small trunk.
a gem

The compound curves of the J30 give it great elegance and make it stand out from other cars. The interior puts the driver at ease with leather seats and a well laid out dashboard. The car feels precise in its handling, yet is very easy to take on long trips. I wish they were still making them.
