Its only been a month now,but i have been waiting to purchase this car since its start.I am an Infiniti lover,and most of all a Q45 lover. Since i'm a car enthusiast,of course i knew all there was to know about the car,so no surprises here.It is however,the best car for ME to date,out of 23 previous cars, all types of makes and models. Pure Pleasure...nuff said!!!!

Terrific car but focuses too much on back seat comfort-reclining and heated back seats. Would have preferred power folding side mirrors, power seat belt height adjuster, power front headrests adjuster and passenger side lumbar support instead. Too little leg room in the rear compartment when the seats are reclined. Quiet interior until pavement breaks send noise into the cabin--the car's performance tires make more noise. Suggest swapping with quieter tires. Rides smoothly and handles extremely well on the straight and corners. High quality inside and out. Recommend over Lexus and German imports and is a better value.

No problems whatsoever. My neighbor's 745i spends more time in the garage than on the road. That was the other car I was considering. Doesn't feel as sporty as the 7, but is by far a better all-rounder. Must Drive!

This 4 door sedan is an absolute sleeper in terms of its performance. To say it's fast is an understatement. It has really top performing set of wheels, superior to my Mustang GT and Corvette Sting Ray. The construction attention to detail is superb and the body fit up is flawless. Handling is superior to any other car I have driven. This is really a well kept secret if you're looking for a great looking, well built luxury ride that performs like a genuine high performance number.

Love the car, hate the Intelligent Cruise. Every time you pass a semi or medium to large truck the car slams on the brakes. At 75-85 mph or more, not fun. Nav system is poor, in the middle of a 20 yr old freeway it just goes awol and shows you driving in the middle of the desert. Passenger seat has no lumbar support. Purchased a used $10K Mercury Montego for my mom that has a much superior touch screen nav and passenger seat lumbar. It's generally fun to drive and quiet, but I'm not as impressed as I hoped I'd be with it.

I've owned over a dozen cars in the last 30 years, but NONE come close to being as near perfect as my 2004 Q45. The power, handling, features, quality and realibilty far exceed anything I've ever owned before. And that includes my Mercedes.
My spouse's fun to drive car!

My husband is responsible for the purchase of our Q45. This is our 2nd "Q" and it is proving to be as maintenance free and dependable as our first. The car is very comfortable and enjoyable to drive as well as being a passenger in. It has a very powerful engine, superb fit and finish and excellent handling. Compared to the other autos in it's price range, I think that the "Q" offers a better value for the money!

While everyone has been paying so much attention to Lexus, BMW and Audi, Infiniti's Q45 has quietly slipped into the show room, and ahead of the class. Elegant styling, inside and out, and a warranty that rivals most others,but for less money than many cars in the same class. If you want dull and regular, go elsewhere, and pay more, but Infiniti is clearly thinking outside of the box.. and beyond

Have owned this car 20 months and have had no problems at all. It is the quietest most comfortable car I have ever owned. The excelleration is more than adequate and the braking is excellent. The seat supports my back very well. It was the only rear wheel drive, V8, powered car I could find for under $55,000.Clearly the most car for the money. One happy owner.
Great Car!!!

I've been in a Q45 since 1991 and this is by far the best one yet. I don't agree with the "soft suspension" review from Edmunds. It takes curves quite nicely without tossing the passengers around. The engine and transmission are works of art. The VDC would not allow me to slip or fishtail in the snow, and I did try. The dashboard controls are quite intuitive, I only referred to the manuals briefly. You can voice command anything you don't feel like reaching for. The Nav System is unbelievably accurate and quite easy to follow with expanded intersection diagrams as you approach a turn.

I love my new premium Q. I test drove several cars in its class and they just didn't have the "zoom, zoom, zoom." I have had a unexplained battery drain but other wise have been very pleased.
awsome!

I have previously owned BMW 740IL and Lexus LS430 and this Q, that I presently have, is the best value for the dollar spent. Other than locking the doors with the keys in the ignition, I have had no problems with this vehicle. I am waiting for the 2005's to appear this month and will mostlikely lease another Q. The navagation is very easy to use and the intelligent cruise is awesome. The dozens of voice commands make the car fun to drive. The exterior could be a little fancier, but all in all, It's the best car I have driven in my lifetime. Too bad that they are not more popular, so their value would stay higher, like their sister, Lexus.
Excellent

I usually hate to drive, but since my husband bought this car as a surprise gift, I have surprised myself by wanting to drive all the time. This car is fast, comfortable, beautiful and drives like a dream. I used to not back into parking spaces, but with the camera, it is a piece of cake!

The Q45 shouts quality from its sound insultated doors to its choice of automatic or manual shifter. Air conditioned or heated seats add to the pleasure and comfort of driving. With 340 hp (50 more than the Lexus 430), this car is exceptionally fast, with jack rabit capabilities from a standing start. A very responsive ride. The engine is especially quiet and smooth, e.g., it can be turning 5000 rpm with no noise or vibration, only apparent via the tach. Fuel economy has ranged from 19+ to 22 mpg. For making U turns, this car has a very short turning radius. Cruising at 75 mph requires 2500 rpm but very quiet. Paint and body work are superb. Just shutting the doors is a pleasure.
Wowzers!

I traded a 2002 base sedan for the 2004 premium. The ride is firmer and better especially in the sport mode. The pick up from 0-60 seems improved too. I thought the back-up mirror was a gimmick but it's very useful in tight parking lots.
Great value

Fast, powerful, quiet, smooth, safe, reliable - what more can you ask for? A pleasure to own and drive, this luxury cruiser is highly recommended. Not flashy, but elegant and understated, it is a true "Q-ship" of the road.

although a supposedly luxury sedan, the trunk capacity is smaller than a Honda's. If you plan to make a car trip, ship your luggage. What were they thinking when they designed it ? My prior Lexus had 35% more capacity.
one awesome car for the price

The 2002 Q arrived with acclaims of power and build quality to rival Lexus.So I bought mine,this being my third Infiniti. I owned a J30 and a 97 Q. This car floats on the road and gives little feedback to the driver. The steering is loose and unresponsive. There is power but a lag after cornering. I have 68,000 miles on my Q and have brought it in service more than my Toyota pickup(which handles better). Paint peeled off the front fender,seat tracing replaced 3 times, teres replaced at 17,000 miles, ALL brakes rotors warped at 30,000 miles, now a front bearing and spindle broke. Wish I had never bought this piece of junk.
