1997 Infiniti J30 review from North America
"A comfortable and quick mid-size car with a different look"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The sunroof wouldn't open/close without manual assistance at 40K miles.
There was a problem with the fuel injectors at 50K miles.
General comments?
The build quality is very good: it still feels solid.
The road handling is excellent, but the steering is a bit light for my taste. The engine/transmission yields plenty of power, but can be a bit loud.
The seats are outstanding, both front and rear, although the rear space is a bit tight for large adults. The interior is nice and simple.
The trunk size is small, but deep.
