Q50 experience-15 months later

I leased a Q50S AWD Hybrid in Nov 2013. The first couple of months I had problems with the Infiniti Connection technology that even the dealership couldn't figure out how to fix. Since then it has been a very pleasant experience. The recent addition of the inTouch apps is nice. The handling and cornering is the same if not better than BMW 335. In Sport mode the acceleration is awesome and the paddle shifters are very responsive. When accelerating from low speed in standard or eco mode the transmission appears confused which gear to shift to first and sometimes fails to respond properly to the driver's foot on the gas pedal.

It takes some time to appreciate the advanced technology the 2014 Q50S Hybrid brings to the table. Once you "get it," you won't want to go back to conventional drive trains or steering/suspensions. Now three-plus years into ownership of my Q50s Hybrid with all available options (except for AWD, which isn't needed in my urban tropical climate), I enjoy driving this vehicle more than ever. Ignore the naysayers! The hybrid Q50s with the 3.5L gas engine apparently has been discontinued in current model years, so this gem is now quite scarce on the market. If you find one in good shape with reasonable mileage, by all means, buy it!

Initial reviewer has a case of sour grapes

I purchased my Q50 just recently, I got the total safety package including drive by wire, the radar activated brakes, the camera that views the road, etc... It's the best car I've ever had in my life! Comfort is superb for long trips, fuel economy is only 1L/100km more than my old Chevy Cobalt. The engine has a frightening amount of power to it, this car accelerates on 0.2 seconds longer from 0-100km/h than a Bentley Continental GT! It's a real powerhouse! I love the safety packages, I picked this car so my wife would have good comfort and safety and she loves the seats, the built-in heat and all around smooth ride. [non-permissible content removed]

Almost perfect

This car is nearly perfect. It has a combination of looks, power, and technology that's unbeatable in its class, except for one thing: it bundles features that should be standard into expensive packages. I was ready to purchase the Q50 AWD Premium with navigation and leather. But in order to get memory seats and a reverse tilt down mirror, you have to move up to the Deluxe Package (another $3,100). This is unacceptable. I do NOT want the Direct Adaptive Steering that's part of this package. Really disappointed Infiniti would force its customers to buy this new technology that many do not want.

Inside this sleek, elegant body lies a powerful, well-balanced drivetrain. So what's wrong with it? The electronics, that's what (and the disappointing mpg figures). The Intel-powered navigation and touch screen controls take almost two minutes to boot up. The array and alternate modes of controlling are befuddling. It all detracts from an otherwise very attractive chariot. Shame on Infiniti for launching a product with instruments/interfaces that were obviously either untested or works still in progress.
