Faults:

Needed EGR valve replaced, needed knock sensor replaced, needed fuel pump replaced at 170,000.

General Comments:

Bought the car not running. Had been sitting for years. Since I am a mechanic, and knew of Nissan's good track record, I bought this Infiniti.

Are parts a little more expensive? Yes.

Is it hard to work on? Yes.

Is it reliable? Yes.

I own a five speed, and rag on it like you wouldn't believe; redline everyday, banging gears everyday with 175,000, stock motor, stock trans.

These cars are quick and can take a serious beating.

Recently swapped the engine for an sr20ve. Now it's even quicker.

The cool thing was the motor I pulled still had good compression and lots of life left; 300,000 would not surprise me at all.

Bottom line is you pay a little more, but it's worth it in the long run for sure.

Also feels a lot more solid than my 1998 Civic EX, and that's a good car as well, just not quite as good or as fun as my beloved G20!

Faults:

Replaced air conditioner compressor at 100,000 miles - replaced exhaust system at 95,000 miles, leaking radiators at 104,000 miles. I took my car in to the mechanic to have a small leak changed and when I went to drive it home, something happened to the transmission and now when the car shifts from first to second gear there is a very noticeable jump. I never had problems with the transmission, but it looks like I will need a new one. I'll probably end up replacing this car.

General Comments:

I have really enjoyed owning this car. It's 11 years old now and only recently starting having problems. I will be very sad if I have to give it up for a new car. I wish I could afford a g35. I'll possibly look into getting a later model g20. I wish Infiniti still made G20's.

Faults:

It needed a new constant velocity boot at 119500 miles.

Trunk struts starting to wear.

Motorized antenna does not always go up and down.

General Comments:

The 1994 G20t is in my opinion one of the most underrated luxury sport sedans. With Nissan reliability and the luxury features one would expect from a much more expensive car, the G20 is a bargain at around $5000. While some may doubt the performance due to the 2.0 liter I-4, it is also very light and accelerates well onto the highway.

The car handles very well on both wet and dry roads.

The automatic transmission shifts extremely smoothly.

The interior leather trim lasts a long time and does not wear easily.

It could benefit from more interior room, so if you are very tall or need to put more than two in the back seat, this is not your car.

Faults:

Minor transmission problems.

Motorized antenna won't go down.

Radio died.

Passenger window motor died.

Slight radiator leak.

Leather seats have really begun to wear.

General Comments:

A true luxury sports sedan.

Low horsepower engine, but holds its own very well.

Very attractive interior/exterior.

Will make heads turn - a somewhat rare car (But hard to find parts for)

Powered by one of the most reliable engines (Nissan SR20DE)

Faults:

Radiator has a very small leak in it after 195,000 miles.

ABS brakes sensors went out at about 155,000 miles.

The leather seats have wore out on the driver side.

Shocks have been replaced once and the CV joints have been replaced.

Brakes have been changed 3 times so far.

Starter went out at about 175,000 miles.

CD player died and a speaker blew after heavy use of course.

Headlight wires burnt out at 180,000 miles.

General Comments:

The list of problems seems long, but with over 195,000 miles on it those are all bound to happen to all cars.

I am a snowboarder and make many trips up the mountains in the snow with up to 4 people at a time in the car with a roof rack.

Transmission is still good.

I am beginning to hear lifters sticking.
