Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Elegant and spacious interior, long list of standard luxury features, strong V8, costs less than the competition.

Cons

Bland exterior design, unnecessarily complex interior controls, overly soft suspension.

What’s new

The Q's five-speed automatic transmission gets a revised manual-shift mode, and the rearview backup camera now comes standard.

Edmunds says

Fast, luxurious and priced thousands of dollars less than most peers, the Q is a solid buy for comfort seekers on a budget. But if owning the best is what matters to you, drive the competition first.

2004 INFINITI Q45 Premium 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

Terrific car but focuses too much on back seat comfort-reclining and heated back seats. Would have preferred power folding side mirrors, power seat belt height adjuster, power front headrests adjuster and passenger side lumbar support instead. Too little leg room in the rear compartment when the seats are reclined. Quiet interior until pavement breaks send noise into the cabin--the …

2004 INFINITI Q45 Luxury 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

No problems whatsoever. My neighbor's 745i spends more time in the garage than on the road. That was the other car I was considering. Doesn't feel as sporty as the 7, but is by far a better all-rounder. Must Drive!

2004 INFINITI Q45 Premium 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

This 4 door sedan is an absolute sleeper in terms of its performance. To say it's fast is an understatement. It has really top performing set of wheels, superior to my Mustang GT and Corvette Sting Ray. The construction attention to detail is superb and the body fit up is flawless.
