Yes there is life after 300,000

With the exception of no real cup holders to speak of the car has been amazing it is held up over the years the seats are still comfortable though the materials a little cracked everything still works on the car it's been really easy to work on everything's accessible put together with foresight of future maintenance handles great good power especially for 300,000 MI. Absolutely cannot say enough about Nissan and Infiniti building this model

No other vehicle ever made past/present matches it

I?ve been in it for 12 years now, with 155k miles, and I?m supposed to replace it. But I?ve test driven so many cars, trucks, SUVs, and yes some vehicles come close to the I30, but nothing equals the ride, comfort, performance and handling of this I30. I?m sad the newer Infiniti?s are as rough riding as all the other vehicles they meet on the road. So I can?t count on Infiniti for a smooth comfortable ride going forward. Those larger rim low profile tires may be cool looking but they make for one harsh tiring ride. The I30 was able to just absorb all the road imperfections without sacrificing crisp handling and power, it was never spongy or bouncy like other sedan vehicles or a harsh sport suspension. No one ever seems to get it, either. It needs suspension work now and rust has gotten the best of it. The indomitable Nissan V6 power train of that era keeps going and going. This truly was built like a tank, made in Japan, when they actually had quality control on the assembly lines!
