1996 Infiniti G20 review from North America
"The most reliable car that Nissan has ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only things that have gone out have been the starter, battery, shocks, accessory belts, power steering pressure hose, clutch, & a few insignificant things that wear out with age.
Basically, normal wear & tear stuff.
General comments?
I bought this car brand new in July of 1996. I have owned it for 12 years. It has been the most trouble free car that I have ever owned in my life. More than my Toyota's or Honda's that I've owned. It has never left me stranded anywhere.
I don't beat on it & do all the maintenance on time & I steam clean the engine bay once in a long while to get all the grime off the electrical & mechanical components.
It's still on the original engine & transmission, & outside of replacing the valve cover gasket & clutch, they have never been opened.
The motor doesn't consume oil or make funny sounds. I think I'll be dead before this car dies.
It also handles pretty well.
Too bad Nissan stopped producing them by the end of 2002 for the American market.
