The rear right speaker clips (I had previous to the Jag a Q45; same annoying syndrome)
As with all Nissans, the brakes are great, all wheel disc, $ to maintain however and calipers often stick.
Read other posts here and there was some talk about road noise. For me, it wasn't until 2K km until I really started noticing it. It is not overly bad, just annoying if you listen for it.
Leather seating very prone to scratches.
The sunroofs on these cars I think are notoriously bad - mine struggles to open (grease/oil/cleaning doesn't help)
Yesterday THE CAR locked my keys in the car whilst running on its own accord. This is a great feature (when it works properly) to prevent you from locking your keys in the car, on my J, it has turned evil and locks itself as it pleases - just like that - gotta be really careful to always stop the car and take your keys, no matter what. Bizarre.
Don't use the ashtray if it works. If you breathe on these the wrong way, they break - and with such a prominent piece of interior trim broken, it instantly propels the car into piecehood.
The antenna stuck. However, wd-40/oil fixed this.
Check-engine light came on, still haven't done anything about it - still runs like new - think it is a bad sensor - actually, more than likely is - however I don't know because you have to take it to infiniti to diagnose (and charge you to infinity - "yes yes yes Mr. Man, step right up! please take the keys to our complimentary loner car - you're gonna need it! because we are going to replace everything expensive!")
If you are not familiar with high end Nissan gas mileage, you won't be impressed.
The heater is funny. 28.5 deg C it blows cold; 32 deg C (few "clicks" warmer to max) burns your leg off!
These, as with all Nissans, are very reliable and fun to drive.
Had a 94 q45, 93 240sx, & 86 300zx. This car however, really has it's own personality. Sporty like the 240, but so many more refined touches and power.
RWD hicas steering just sick - Unbelievably fun.
Need to really use 225/60/15 h or better tires.
If it snows where you are, you are mad not to have snow tires...
Trans it a dream - same with the engine. Really is an engineering marvel. Puts other Japanese car manufactures to complete shame.
Why is the resale so cheap? these cars do not deserve this - but, I have a truly cool car for the $ I paid...
The gas mileage is not the best, but sometimes it is really worth it! I hammer it everywhere and it is always fun.
Besides everything I have put in the negative commentary, everything else is 10 out of 10. If you are now to these, slip into one; you'll see.
Fantastic city car - right size, quick, has everything.
I you were thinking of getting one of these and are looking for a very sporty RWD luxury car and willing to compromise a little "traditional" luxury for sport, you can't go wrong with the j30t.
Sir, along with most other J30's, the most common malfunction that is indicated would be the code 32, which is the E.G.R. malfunction. To properly get this fixed, the cheapest way to go about doing this is to get a diagnostic check, about $40, then get a mechanic to clean the vaulve. They are most likely clogged.
