Used 2002 INFINITI Q45 Consumer Reviews
Unbeatable
Infiniti really pulled it off this time. The last Q kind of left me cold, boring "anycar" styling, perfect for the old Caddy set. This is another beast altogether. It is fast first of all. The ride and balance of the car rivals anything BMW has to offer (I just sold my 740) and there nothing in the Lexus stable that can even come close the the zest this car offers to the driver. It is unstated yet elegant and did I mention that it was fast. The car is deceptive and I was horsing around one time around a curve where I295 dumps into I95 and realized I was doing 135 when it felt more like 75. Be careful with this car, did I mention that it was fast?
Good value for your money
I have owned this car for more than 3 years and the biggest problem I've had is that it is too big and too long for me to move in tight parking lots. Otherwise the car is very reliable and comfortable, with ample power.

Q45
When I took delivery of car there were several recalls or service upgrades that the dealer had not addressed. It had a defective wheel(out of round) which dealer refused to warrant. Rear sunshade broke at 33,000 miles. Electronics malfunction occasionally requiring you to turn off car and reset. Easier to use manual controls rather than voice as I can't remember exact wording and everyone must stop talking. Car magazine tests show about 6.5 to 60. Fast but a long way from 5.9. Needs switch to turn off traction control. My last car was Lexus LS400 which was superior in quality, dealer service and workmanship. Not holding value.
The Best for the money
Most powerful car in its class. A blast to drive.
the Q-45 i LIKE it
smooth,refined and easy to handle. It is designed to instill confidence on the road. The dealer was a dream to work with. Service with the dealer has been first class, unlike the "we don't care attitude at lexus."
