The vehicle still has great performance and drive.
I like the look of the vehicle. It does not look like a 15 year old vehicle. It still drives great. The only dislike I have is that it is older and maintenance and repairs come with the higher mileage.

Keep up on routine maintenance.
I have owned my infinity for 8 years. Problems: mechanically, none. The back door motor broke and is very cost prohibited to fix. Performance: excellent. Reliability: always reliable, never have to worry about being stranded. Comfort: top notch! A good vehicle to take on a long road trip. Features: backup camera is great and easy to see behind you verses others that I have seen. Lots of storage. I think the most important thing to remember if you are buying an infinity is that if you keep up on routine maintenance, your car will last.

Overall great ride with decent mpg
Bought it with 190,000 miles on it over a year ago and now has 270,000 on it. Overall it's a good vehicle with great handling and sporty look. Plenty of horsepower and decent gas mileage. The brake system should have had bigger calipers and pads cause it's a heavy vehicle. The locking all 4 wheels is excellent and pulls like a tank.

Nice looking, reliable car.
I really love the look and feel of this vehicle. It is older (2003), but still could pass as a newer model car and still drives really smooth. It does have higher mileage (175k+), which means there has been some maintenance and repairs to go along with it. But overall, I love my car and would consider to purchase another one.

Expensive and high on gas.
Gas is crazy and electrical has always had issues. Runs smooth and has enough room for 6. I would not buy this car again because the cost of maintenance and repairs is crazy. I would like a car that didn't cost an arm and a leg to maintain. This car is good for people without kids.
