Best Car Ever

We bought this vehicle new- one of our only new cars. It is shiny black with luxurious camel leather interior. The inisde is spacious, comfortable, great support in seats, great interior design with armrest and holders, and feels very spacious as I am tall and cannot find other car that feels so open. Have had no problems with anything, except normal maintenance. have to charge AC freeon every 2 years but that was only after 145,000 miles. Love this car! Some rust starting around wheel rims but otheriwse paint is gorgeous for 184,000 miles. Still get 20- 23 mpg, mostly around town driving. Amazing and classy car. Don't want to upgrade just yet!

Hard to Beat for the Price

Can't recommend it enough if you need a good car for $4k. In the interior you have thick/tight leather, one of the best stock sound systems around, great climate control, good noise isolation, and all-around solid "feel." With the exterior they really nailed the sedan design. I like it more than the more rounded models that came later, and the limited edition comes with good rims (nice but not flashy). It drives like a dream. Low road noise and smooth feel when cruising, but if you need to punch it, this car's got it; I never worry about getting on the highway or passing because I've never needed to put it to the floor. The auto transmission is very intuitive and is good at being smooth when you want it to and empowering when you want it to. Like all decade-old cars you've got to keep up with the maintenance though. It's affordable if you keep up but it'll cost you if you neglect scheduled maintenance.

Great Car Love it.

The girlfriend has a 2006 compact Nissan, although she finds this car a bit big, says this one definitely drives better. Exterior is a bit outdated, but has a lot of the features only available in loaded models in todays cars. Lacks blutooth, cuz they didn't have bluttooth back then. Sound is awesome, better than some of the custom aftermarket sound systems. Favulous car and yes, the "REAL" wood lacquered steering wheel does get extremely hot in the summer, so I got some "SHADES".

best used car i've driven

picked up my uncle from the airport, and he said he felt like driving, he owns a Mercedes S-420, i'm not sure which year, but he said he really liked the feel and the ride of my car. I've spent some where around $700 on repairs, but actually i guess it was only on all breaks, transmission fluid flush and a starter, so really the starter was only thing that was bad, rest was basic maintenance. cant wait to own thew newer i 35's

Can't ask for more~

Well my friend bought a 2008 Altima fully loaded, he says mine drives better at 118K than his 2008 Altima. My leather's starting to crack, but I guess the car is 10 years old and I've never parked it in the garage, best value for the money, if you're looking for a luxury car which is affordable, and something that has plenty of leg room in the rear, and also something that drives "VERY" fast, and something that has an awesome sound system, then look no further, don't waste your time on a camry, accord, get this you won't regret it!!

Everyone i know loves my car!

Someone mentioned that teens would love this car, i'm 27 and i absolutely love it, because it has all the features stock, like it's got a bose stereo w/6 cd changer, it bumps hard, car's really fast and i'm tall, it's got plenty of leg room in the rear passenger seats, which most japnese car makers forget to add, so it handles like a sports car, has the comfort of a cadillac on long routes, man this car is so underrated i tell you, everybody taht drives my car tells me it drives nicer than theirs, i'm talkin 2007 Altimas, or newer benz...just one thing, the starter will go out on you at 100,000 miles which is about $200~ including labor. caRs nice!! and i get 26.5 mpg on the freeway too. if ur looking for a 4 door sedan look no further this is iT!!!!!!

Great Car!

I bought this car used in november of 2008. Its been running great ever since! This car is extremely underrated. Sure, it might not be the flashiest car on the street, but it gets the job done well. The bose sound system is amazing! I'm a teenager and we love our loud music and the bose stereo system really puts out some noise. The engine is a good size for a car in this class. This car is surprisingly fast for its size! I got the '99 limited edition with the heated seats, wood lacquered steering wheel, and leather wrapped gear shift. The only complaint I have about this car is that in the summer time, the wood lacquered steering wheel gets extremely hot. But it's a small price to pay to drive a car so great. Most of my friends drive late model cars but when they sit in mine, almost everyone agrees that even though its 11 years old now, it's still nicer than most cars on the road. I would DEFINITELY recommend this car to teens, or someone who doesn't want to spend much money, but still wants a nice car.

If you don't have an Infiniti, you're missing out

I got this car 3 years back, initially i wanted a lexus 300 the same year! Those lexus's are over priced. this car handles better, and has a nicer ride then a mercedes benz c class, and s class, this car is under rated. so reliable, i've only changed brakes and c/v boot on it in three years and ive put more than 50,000 miles. Excellent car, handles well very very roomy without being humoungous, i would recomend this car over a honda toyota lexus and bmw and infiniti!!! love this car, i cant wait to get another infinitio I series...Extremely reliable, excellent performance same engine as the nissan 300zx which beat the porsche in lemans,..very fast and smooth ride, it's like having a sports car and luxury car...bose sound system is better than most new cars...car's underrated
