What Owners are Saying About the 1998 INFINITI I

"Great Car"

"I've had my Infinity for the past 6 years (it already had two years and 50,000 miles when I got it) and it has been the best car. I've only had to take it into the shop once and it works every time I turn the key. It has all the essential safety features and is a very comfortable ride."

"1997 Infiniti I30 Sedan 4D"

"I have 125,000 miles on my 97 I30. Normal maintenance except replaced the starter. Runs like new with no rattles. Good power and highway cruising. Paint holding up well. About 22 mpg. Great car. I would like a newer car but I just cant trade in this wonderful automobile."

"Fast,comfortable,killer Bose stereo. Stylish."

"I have owned this car for 7 years and got it when it had 130k miles on it. Other than valvecover gaskets leaking and the usual tires and brakes, it has operated flawlessly for me and retains styling that still holds up. To this day, the engine uses no oil between changes (always done at 3k mile intervals), and has surprising power and fuel economy. Nissan got this one right."
