Rushmobile vs. cushmobile.

I prefer the rush.

Hoo-ahh!

 

We have been deciding between the 2, and finaly decision was the Type-S...
in my opinion, i feel that the type s is more dependable and sporty, what we didnt like about the 2000 TL was that its HID lights were a bit foggy at night time, now the 2002 is great, nice and clear.
Oh also, I30's wood looks too fake, and no 5 speed tiptronic transmission takes points off.
They type s always makes me race against other vehicles...hehehe, hope you all kno i'm only 14...i race with my dad sitting beside me...^^

 

uh did you guys forget aabout the new 2002 i35... is gonna have 260hp and a 3.5L engine, this car gonna be bad ass... or i think so. I still love my TL-S

It is better to compare the new I35 to the TL-S. At least the horsepower will be the same. If I had a choice, I would definitely pick the TL-S for so many obvious reasons.

If you want to drive a Nissan, go for I30. If you want to drive a Honda, go for TL. They are both fine cars in same class. I used to drive a Maxima, so I wanted switch to Honda/TL. Other than that I30 is a little bigger, different style, and 4 speed auto. I only had one problem with my 95 Maxima which has the same VQ V6 as I30. The alternator went out after about 60K miles. Other than that the engine is smooth, quiet, and strong. TL engine is louder, higher revving, and a bit more powerful.

If you into mods, there are tons of aftermarket parts for I30 engine. There is even a supercharger from Stillen that I think costs around 3-5 grand. You can get ECU, intake, tranny upgrades, brembo brakes, etc.

 

definitely tl all the way. The I30 is just plain ugly in my opinion. While we're on the subject of Nissan, anyone else fallen in love with the 2002 Altima? I can't wait to see where they take the Maxima!!!

 

I'd buy a loaded Maxima SE OVER the I30. Just as good a ride and you can save some bucks. Also consider that the 3.2TL and 3.2 TL-S have a higher resale/trade value whenever you decide to move on than the Nissan products.

Such as?

 

what do you guys think about that i30?

 

don't think about it.

------------------
Those who know, don't talk.

 

compared to what? doesn't compare to the TL-S.

 

They are 2 different types of cars. I own both of them. This is my observation.

TL Type S-The moment you are behind the wheel. You have a feeling to race other people. =) The Type S looks better, it is more popular than the I30. You don't see much I30 on the road. The interior is little smaller than the I30.

I30-It is more like a cruiser. The fit and finish is better than the Type S (this is just my opinion, don't jump on me). It is a lot quieter than the Type S. The leather is softer and the carpet is better.

Since I have a 2 year old daughter, my baby always ride with us on the I30. It is because I won't have a tendency to race someone. If I drive alone or with my wife. I'll just drive my Type S and kill some car. =)

Infiniti? Why? They are still trying to catch Lexus, BMW, Benz and Acura. They are NOT selling a lot of cars.

because they are selling the i30s 1000-2000 below invoice so I was wondering if it was a good deal.

 

Interesting that you mentioned that. The alternator in my Nissan 200SX SE-R went out around 80K. Hell even the factory battery lasted longer.

maxskills,

Yes, you are right about the price of the I30. I bought mine back in April, I was able to get it $600 below invoice. The dealer even throw in wood kit for free.

The $1000 incentive from manufacture to dealer is running through 7/2/01. So, if you have time, you can shop around for the I30 and the TL Type S.

can't wait till the I35 comes out!!! wonder which one would be faster and stuff... but even though *IF* the I35 is faster i'd still love my TL-S... cuz i've YET to see a fixed up I30.. i'm sure that'd look funny lol... I guess i'm more a honda/acura person rather than a nissan/infiniti person... chose an Accord V6 back in 95 over a more powerful Maxima... which I do NOT regret a bit cuz I've had sooo much more fun with the Accord that I EVER would with a Maxima so there ya go....

one bad thing about the TL.... no rear sunshade (which is avaliable on the I30) *sigh*

 

checkout www.autoweek.com for info on the Skyline based G35 that Infinity just revealed yesterday!

 

This car looks GREAT !! Hopefully, they will keep the prices in check. Acura/Honda needs more competition since recently they have been observed to be resting on past laurels....not a good thing to do in this competitive market.

Hopefully they will also come out with an AWD version (a la Skyline) of the G35, in wagon form.
