Ride ok, Comfortable seats, pretty good car, better than my 94', few problems.Bought it off lease 39k from Infiniti dealer. Bad battery, tires and front end vibration at 80 mph and above.Has not been a nice experience. I will probably get some sort of SUV and a Benz again. 2 Q's in 4 years and they both have problems is too much for me. Both bought from same dealer.(:-((
planning to buy a used V8? This is it!
Thanks to LS400's popularity, the Q45 looses its value very quickly. Bad, if you are interested a new Q. But a 3 yr old Q is a great bang for the buck compared to LS. Super Quality/reliability & comfort. Like all luxury cars, maintenance is expensive. If you can find a reliable independent technician, thats the best way to save money. Most important, doing proper and regular maintenance (like fluid exchanges etc.) can keep the car trouble free for years. I have friends who owned early Qs for more than 300K miles!!! Excellent car for cruising. No stress driving for thousands of miles. Just the best used V8 u can find out there.Good luck!

I love this car, it's not as common as the Lexus 400's that seem to be around every corner.

It's so quiet and comfy it feels like you're in your living room cruising at 95 mph.

We bought this car after selling our 1993 Q45... (tired of the repair bills) Although not as "Sporty" as the '93 it is much more plush in comfort and ride. It still scoots when you floor it but because of the softer ride it just dosn't seem as fast. (it actually is real close) The great thing about th '97 on up is they seem to be much more reliable. except for oil changes we have had to do nothing..For what we paid ($16,500) we could have got a new Civic but I think the ride/comfort is just a little nicer with the Q.. Overall a great Car
