Introduction
I purchased my 2001 Infiniti I30 Luxury in August of 2006. I am the second owner of the car and purchased it with just over 60,000 miles. In the time I have owned the car it has been extremely impressive. While it doesn't accelerate or handle like a G37 coupe, it does perform well for a midsize front-drive V6 sedan.

Conclusion
