2000 Infiniti I30 review from North America
"Beautiful body with a nasty, bad engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well let's see; when I first got the car in 2003 it was the best car I have ever driven, but then in 2006 it was like the AC started to smell like pee.
Then it started to make this rattling sound when the car took off.
Then it made this sound like there was air escaping a hose in the motor.
The starter and the alternator went out.
It had to be checked several times before they found any particular problem.
General comments?
Other than the consistency of having problems with the car when it hit 90,000 miles, I loved it.
It had a beautiful Bose surround system with climate control, memory seats, and soft leather, along with this classic clock in the middle of the dash, had a classic touch.
I'm hoping the car I had was a lemon, because I hear so many good things about Infiniti that I want to try it again, I think I'll try the Infiniti J30?
