1997 Infiniti I30 Review

The Infiniti I30 represents badge engineering that works.

1997 I30 Review Summary & Specifications

Dollar for dollar, one could outfit a Maxima with almost all of the

I30's features and come out ahead financially. But the Maxima and I30 are

by no means semi-identical twins. In fact, they exhibit very different

personalities.

Each is thoroughly competent and well equipped. But if a luxury ambiance

and presence is the objective, the I30 is the way to go.

The I30 buyer also will be treated to a first-class experience at the

Infiniti dealership. Since it started selling cars in the United States,

Infiniti has insisted that dealers treat customers in their showrooms as

they would guests in their homes. And they do, one of the key elements

in Infiniti's excellent owner loyalty story.

The Total Ownership Experience includes 24-hour roadside assistance,

free for 48 months, even if the warranty has expired. It adds an exclamation

point to a car that stacks up as an excellent value in its class.
