2000 Infiniti I30 3.0 from North America
Summary:
The I30 is a dream car, and I hope to find another for a second vehicle
Faults:
Had to replace the starter, air compressor, and left rear brake caliper.
General Comments:
Best car I've ever owned - I picked it up for $1800 from a college student and have been driving it daily every day. Lots of power, comfortable, and everything still works great. I feel blessed to have picked it up so cheap and will drive it until it dies. Hope to get at least 300k miles.
Doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes. I use Mobil 1 full synthetic and change every 5000 miles.
It's got some scratches, but that's fine with me. Drives better than most new cars I've owned.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 1997 Maxima and the slow acceleration issue may be a bad knock sensor. If it is bad, it will not set the check engine light.
The engine knocking with low octane is a symptom of a bad sensor.
Good luck with your I30. They are great cars.
