2001 Infiniti G20 Touring review from North America

Intermittent rattle at idle, presumably a heat-shield (yet virtually unnoticeable).

Keyless-entry remote control doesn't always work on the first try, even when 2 feet away from the car.

Excellent value for the money. I'm an unemployed college student and even I can afford it on my limited salary! My first new car and loving it.

Unexpectedly generous amounts of headroom, even with a sunroof.

Unbelievable handling. Freeway interchanges at 85 mph and the car asks for more.

Low-end torque is marginal at best, but this engine comes alive above 4000 rpm.

Brakes are excellent. Very powerful and the ABS is very subtle when activated.

Turning radius is poor (worse than the I30). Standard U-turns usually require 3-point maneuver.

Climate control has some difficulty cooling on a hot day around town. On freeway, it works perfectly and doesn't affect gas mileage.

Cupholders were an after-thought. Cannot hold anything more than medium drink WITHOUT a straw. Passenger's "clips" onto map pocket and sometimes falls out of car when passenger exits.

No glove compartment light! I have to turn on overhead light to see at night.

Car looks and feels very sport, solid, and safe.

My neighbors and friends can't stop complimenting me on this car.
