I bought this car after my 1987 Mercedez-Benz 300d Turbo decided to keel over on me January 1, 2007. (Happy Freaking NEW YEARS RIGHT?) Anyway I searched and searched for Infiniti's that had a sporty look while offering power and This one Will DRIVE you into the ground if you could steer it! I can't believe that after 121,000 miles it still purrs like a kitten, and growls like a lion when needed. I have some minor repairs to make but at 2,500 dollars for the car, it was a steal.
Solid

The Q 45 has proved be to be a worthy investment for my self. I purchased this vehicle for $3,800. It had 144,000miles and is a 94'. I've owned this car for 2years now , and it has been a jem!! The power is awesome and it still turns heads. There is no way I would purchase a car new, I would rather ride in pure luxury at a fraction of the cost.

The 1994 infiniti Q45 has been my daily cruiser for years now. its powerful v8 lets me merge into traffic without worring about the 5.0 mustang trying to accelerate to not let me in. the interior is classy and comfortable,the suspension won best in luxury class in 1994 and it proves it every day on the horrible nyc roads. its design dosent show its age. it has many options that were advanced for its time. over all its a beautiful luxurious car able to be held up agains the big boys of mercedes bmw and audi anyday..
Very good to have

My experience with the Q was awesome when I first got it.The Limited Slip work and everything, but time passed and it went then the Antilock brakes went shortly thereafter. I just want to know what is the cost of all this stuff because I'm scared to go to the dealership to ask for fear of them having hike-up prices because I'm still driving a classic beauty on the street. Let's just face it, the 90-95 Q's look better than newer models(00- 05).
WOW What a feeling !!!

It is a great vehicle. I have looked at and driven some new cars that have less performance appeal and comfort than my Q with 127,000 miles.

I purchased this car used with 110,000 miles, and she remains as tight and as solid a new car. The power plant still amazes me and has a wonderfully "throaty" sound when put to the test. The pneumatically assisted "active" suspension eliminates body roll and nose diving for an incredible stable drive thats a pleasure on curvy roads. Breaking performance is superior.

Fast, quiet (really quiet), great riding car. Definite tourer. A bit bulky and heavy, car weighs 4200+, more than the average SUV. Would have been awesome if they had taken a couple hundred pounds out of it. Gas mileage hovers just under 20 mpg.

Bought the car for $2500, can't beat getting the equivalent of a BMW 740 at that price. Engine is smooth, yet very throaty at full throttle. Car of course is 4200 lbs so performance is somewhat subpar due to the weight and "old person" gearing/shift points (Can be mostly remedied with a new ECU). I consistently get 26 mpg which is great for a V8. Front end styling along with factory wheels are rather uninspired/too small.
Lots of car for the money

This is an incredible car.The original list was $50K and I got mine for $10,500 with only 43,000 miles last year. It is expensive to maintain both at the gas station and in the garage as the mileage is terrible and you need to use premium fuel.The tires dont last long because of the weight of the car and ditto on the brakes. Also the Q45a (active suspension)is great when it works but mine is shot and it would cost $5,000 to fix so I do without the smooth ride that others may enjoy.But that doesnt stop me from strongly recommending this awesome,reliable and affordable luxury car that you can look and feel great in.

Don's understand why anyone would buy a Toyota instead of the Q45. Hey, those guys "Click and Clack" recommend it. Its just a great buy. Lots of power, plenty of comfort. All models come LOADED with standard features.

I bought the car for my mother about two years ago. It was in near mint condition with 94000 miles. I don't know why the Q45 doesn't hold its resale value, but I didn't complain when I only paid $8,000 for it in 2001. I found the original window sticker from 1994 in the glove compartment listing the car for $54,000.

I usually replace my cars every 2-3 years. I've owned my Q45t for nearly 10 years. It still runs and looks as new. Car is fun to drive, excellent build quality, and far more reliable than any Benz or BMW that I have owned. Dealer Service is the best. Manufacturer stays in touch with its customers.

Cant complain too much - so far the car has 140,000 miles on it. Regular repairs have been performed. Went through 2 altanators, fuel pump and control module and a $1800 60k mile tune-up (ouch!). The car doesn't perform as it once did. Disappointed for a car that origially sold for $52k. Engine not as quiet as the LS400. Must say the car has a lot of upper end power; took it to 115 MPH - smooth as a silk.
Great car that l still enjoy

Can be pricey to maintain when something breaks because not everyone has experience working on this rare car and parts can be difficult to purchase but quality materials originally used and still over engineered. Some of the plastic interior bits like the sunroof switch and interior mirrors don’t age well but still enjoy the performance and overall driving experience

First any large vehicle I've owned other than an old Mercury Marquis. The only misgiving I have (more of a sense of guilt) is its poor mileage. My previous car was a Toyota Camry which give better than 35 mpg.
Cash cow riddled with defects

At 120,000 KM the transmission went. $4,600 repair job. At 130,000 KM the fuel pump went $950. At 140,000 KM all injectors, the fuel pump again, regulator, O2 sensors, electric antena, door sensors and a bunch of other compentent all failed within four weeks of each other. Cost. $5,000. For an Infiniti "flagship" car, this vehicle is riddled with major defects. Stay far away from any model under 1995. You will get get hit with major repair costs. Almost 100% of the Q45 owners I've corresponded with have had the same issues. The dealer service manager has also confirmed that they are in fact lemons. Isn't that nice.
Not a bad car

This is a great luxury car with a lot of power(4.5 287HP V8 engine). My car has over 150k miles and I've never had a problem with it other than normal maintenance. Certainly not as smooth as a BMW, but what is. Overall I think its a fine automobile with some spunk to it.
Sit back and enjoy the ride

Super car to own. Fast, comfortable, and reliable. This car is an absolute dream to drive, I mean you step on the gas and you actually move. I have nearly 160k miles and all I had to change so far was the water pump and the fan. As long as you keep up with your preventative maintenance (tune ups, oil changes and annual inspections) this car won't let you down.

This is, by far, the best car I've owned. A great engine, combined with a great interior are the best aspects of this car. Exterior styling may turn off some, but I love the old Q's. I now have 138,000 miles on it and still love cruising around in it. Only downfall is poor traction in the snow (even with traction control option)
Good Car

The Q has been a good vehicle. Purchase warranty with vehicle up to 100,000. Unfortunately, problems didn't occur until after warranty expired. Currently have 144,000 - transmission failing, control arms have been replaced twice. Door locks mechanics replaced twice. Experience problem with compression and heads replaced. Performance has been great. The 278 horses really move this car. My '89 Nissan Maxima has been a more realiable car.

Enough said. No other sedan can match the quality and performance of the Q45 for under $50k. It really is the quintessential poor man's 7 series BMW. I know; I've owned both.

I bought this car as a surprise for my wife.The first two months we had it were fine.Then the valve cover gaskets had to be replaced,which took two weeks to do,and $900.00.Then the car kept stalling, which was the gas cap ,the second one we replaced in 10,000 miles of ownership.We had a bunch of other little flair ups with the electrical,but the final problem was the fuel injection, and at that point we gave up and got rid of the car.
