Used 1996 INFINITI Q45 Consumer Reviews
Q in the great white north
Just bought my Q45 a month ago. Already I have to replace the O2 sensor. Also the gear shifter has locked up a cople of times. I have manged to find a way to work around it. Otherwise, this car is great and fun to drive. The cabin warms up quickly enough so that you dont have to idle for too long. Steering is not exactly that of a high performance car but handling at high speeds is quite good considering its size and weight.
Luxury and Power
I've got a 1996 Q45 that currently has about 90,000 miles on it, meaning the vehicle has averaged a little over 10,000 miles a year. The car is VERY nice...it's an excellent combination of luxury and power. It's got an excellent, though somewhat "soft" ride, excellent interior room/comfort and, best of all, real get-up-and-go under the hood. With a V8 engine, you can go 0-60 in a snap without so mucha as a second thought. Plus it's been very reliable; other than gas/oil and brakes, the only maintenance done has been the 60K checkup to change belts etc. Definitely the best of all the cars I've owned
Disapointed in the long run
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.
