1994 Infiniti J30 Standard review from North America
"A very classy, low maintenance cream puff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed to get one of the rear window motors replaced. The sunroof does not open without help, but it does tilt. I do have some wear marks on the leather and the driver door. Occasionally, the CD decides is does not want a particular CD. This is funny because it may play fine on other players, but once the Bose system doesn't like it, forget it. The only other thing is that I can't find good wipers and I refuse to pay dealer cost. I can only be pushed so far.
General comments?
I still love this car and I bought it new. Or, rather I leased it and then bought out the lease at the end. When I first got it, I didn't even drive the speed limit because I was having so much fun. I have put relatively little money into this car compared to owning it for 9 years and the pleasure I get driving it. I hope every one is so lucky. I just now replaced the brakes for the first time and got a tune-up (63k). I have always used Mobil-1 oil, it has never known any other kind and I change it at no more that 4k. Performance is not spectacular, but most buyers would know that. It can get up and go, but I have to push the pedal pretty hard. Handling is OK, but the car is a little heavy, but again, this is not a Porsche. Bottom line is that it is a very classy, low maintenance cream puff and I have been happy overall. I got my eye on the FX though!
