Luckily an I30 is just a fancied up Maxima and all mechanicals are identical.With brakes and tires one must assume a minimal prorated $1300-$1500 per year cost to maintain with the standard 90 day service interval.
Be happy, after 100k and/or 10 years it is all downhill with wear and tear finally beginning to show up but the V6 never ever reaches the costs of a V8 model and heavier vehicles.
