1990 INFINITI Q45 4dr Sedan
This car was given to me by my dad as my first car, and I did not like it at first just from appearance and how old it was. After I drove it for a while, a gained a deep respect and appreciation for what this car is. It can compete with any luxury sedan from 1990 and can keep up with others that are even newer. I live in California and take this car on canyon runs, and can keep up with … brand new V6 camaros and others. Its also great because it is easy to work on, as it does not have all of the electronics that newer cars do. Its plenty fast and sporty, but also extremely comfortable. Because it is an old car that did not sell very well, there are OEM parts available if something goes but these parts can be expensive to purchase. Overall, I love this car and can say that for what it is, it is a fantastic all around car.
Awesome to drive, nightmare to repair

This car is not for those who are used
to Japanese reliability. I would
compare this more with having an exotic
vehicle that no one in America can
actually work on. Owned this car for
less than a year. I absolutely loved
driving it (When it ran properly). It
acted up more than any vehicle I had
ever owned. Even had a lifetime
warranty from AAmco, what a joke, they …
rebuilt it 4 times in less than a
year. I finally just traded it in just
to get rid of the headache.
I bought a lemon

Spend 4k+ and bought a lemon, with lots
of problems on transmition,power
steering, and electricity. spend
another 2k to repair, no use at all,
still have electricity problem again
and again and again, guess this car is
been flooded sometime ago. besides, it
really a good car, very comfortable
even it's a 90's car, performance is
good thanks to v8 and automatic …
overdrive, accleration is good too.
Fule enconomy is fair.
great car
