DON’T BUY THIS CAR YOU WILL WISH YOU HADN’T IT A PIECE OF POOP 💩. When we got the Q50s we were excited because of the looks and I thought it would be an upgraded model of the Nissan but how wrong we were. Within a few thousand miles the brakes started shaking the hole car and we took it in and they kept telling us nothing was wrong with the car but just normal wear but the brake pads were still new looking and rotors were warped and needed replaced at 9000 miles like I had driven the Indy 500 or something. We had taken to the dealer 3to 4 times and same result, very annoying. So I had to fix them while the car was under warranty. If you think it might just be the one car that I have, look up the brake issues for the Infiniti Q50 and you will see what I’m talking about. I just hope you see this before you buy it and don’t end up like I did. Also, we have taken it in for the a/c to get repaired and they said nothing was wrong with it the 2 times we took it to the dealer while under warranty and now that the warranty is up they seem to think there may be an issue with it after us telling them for the last 3 years it was messed up. Now we have one one window that rolls up and down, which is the driver side window. It’s had what seems like a dozen recalls for the computer stuff with it. I will be here for days telling you all the stuff that the car has had issues with so I will just end this the same way I started this please listen to me don’t buy this car, you will regret it. STAY AWAY DON’T BUY THIS CAR piece of 💩 POOP.

A compromised sport sedan

After leasing the car for about 6 months, 5k miles, here's my assessment. Accelerating from standstill is great, the electric motor really provides a smooth takeoff combined with the gas engine for the power. In "sport" mode it is fast (0-60 in 4.9s). However, taking turns or windy road is a different matter, I never feel the car is planted like the 3-series, car feels unstable at times. Sometimes the auto brake, lane departure tech get in the way of driving, I usually turn it off on local streets. The lane departure prevention is of little use because when the lane curves too much it won't correct for you. The touch-screen computer is extremely SLOW, needs a faster processor.

I leased the base model with the sunroof about 1.5 weeks ago. I didn't want to pay for (or deal with) the electronic issues and gizmos and the base version hit my target price. It looked great, drove well, and met my needs for size. The downside is this car smells...bad. Two others like it smelled bad, too, but the dealership claimed that whatever I was smelling would wear off or they'd take care of it. After a few days, I returned and was told there was nothing they could do and I could trade it, lemon law it, or try to air it out. No luck. Software is buggy and slow and they are still saying apps are coming in 1 more month. I'm regretting my choice but, at least it looks good. Update 6/16 Infiniti let me down. I thought they were a class act but they are not. After a long period of denial, they finally acknowledged they had a problem with the smell coming from the drainage system around the sunroofs of the Q50. Once they replaced it, the smell lingered for a while but eventually went away. Unfortunately, they wouldn't do anything about the electronics. Still slow to load and buggy as can be. So, where even cheap cars will have guide lines on their backup cameras as soon as you shift, with the Q50 you have to wait like two minutes. The clock will sometimes show only a face with no hands because the computer has lost the time/date. The radio stations you've programmed will sometimes just disappear. The automatic climate control will just stop functioning and you have to reboot the computer. Most of the available functionality and features won't work (internet, email, text, etc.) None of it is end of world stuff...just annoying for the most expensive car I've ever purchased/leased. To be fair, I enjoy driving it as far as driving goes. The power is there when you want it, it's comfortable, no complaints there. Still like the way it looks, too. The headlights don't reach out enough on low beam which can be hazardous, though. I've noticed a few times that the sensor for the passenger seat airbag wasn't working properly and, as it turns out, I just received a notice of a recall on that issue. I don't regret getting it, I enjoy driving it, but every time I consider that I could have purchased a much cheaper car with more features and functionality, I feel like it was a mistake I won't make again. I will not buy a car that doesn't work fully again or from a company that has the nerve to say "that's just the way it was designed" when something is clearly not right. I had a few Accords before this and all were great cars for a lot less money.

Infiniti Q50 is the Worst Car

I have been a long time Infiniti owner, I have owned the G37X, M56 and JX. I bought the Q50 when it first came out and has had these issues: 1. Slow responsiveness of touch screen. 2. GPS loosing signal and going to a blank screen. 3. Electric steering locking while in drive (major safety issue!) 4. Doors locking and not able to get into our out of the car! (major safety issue!) I signed a 39 month lease and I am stuck...hopefully things continue to break so the car can fit into the lemon law and I can get rid and break this lease. Based on these issues, I do not recommend the Infiniti Q50...wait 3 years before buying it.
Would love to have my G37 back

I made a hasty (and regrettable) decision to trade in my G37 6 months ago for the Q50. My payment is less, but since it's costing me ALOT more in gas, it was hardly worth the trade. Really dislike the tedious (and not too reliable) navigation system (was told it would be a big improvement over the Navtech that I had in the G37 - I don't agree). I wish I had gone with a Lexus or BMW. I hardly see any Q50's on the road...I think I know why.
