Vehicle Highlights
Infiniti's entry-level sedan offers Luxury and sportier G20t Touring models, both with a 4-cyl engine and manual or optional automatic transmission. Standard are ABS 4-wheel discs, and front side airbags. G20t adds rear spoiler, limited-slip differential, and lower-profile tires. A Leather and Sunroof package is optional for the Luxury model and newly standard for the Touring. Available for both is the Infiniti Communicator navigation and assistance system, which does not have a dashboard display.
COMPETITION
This hotly contested segment has a clear benchmark; it is the Acura TL (and its 2-door cousin Acura CL). The TL succeeds in blending comfort, style, luxury, and sport into an efficient package at an affordable price. If you are leaning more toward the luxury scale, the Lexus ES 300 might be a more practical purchase.
We also recommend the sporty and Euro-flavored Audi A6, the comfortable Buick Park Avenue, the affordable and fast Infiniti I30.
