Used 2014 INFINITI Q50 Consumer Reviews

Forbes even says don't buy

Driven this car for over 2 months. The poor reviews given by other sites is deserved. Frequent reboots of the computer, no sonar, useless directional lines on backup camera, over 50 computer upgrades in only 8 weeks…..think twice about this car. Having owned now for almost 3 years and ready to TRADE. Will not look at another infiniti. Continued computer problems, extremely bad tires, poor power delivery, back up directional lines still MIA most of the time. The most annoying of all is the slip light comes on when the weather is beautiful dry and warm. The car then losses power? They can't find the problem?

2014 Q50 fun

Bought car in February 2018 with 62k miles. Dealer offered certified warranty which was added bonus. Car is great so far. Fun to drive although I usually keep it in Eco mode to save gas. Even in Eco mode it moves. Have popped it into Sport mode a few times just for fun and it flies. Ride is smooth. The only drawback is the steering is uber sensitive. Just a slight change and the car heads in that direction. Overall it has been a great car

Infiniti Q50 the worst car of 2014

This car represents the the company as a whole. FAILURE. Not only did the stealership pull a bait and switch on me by changing the price of the car from sales to finance, but their customer service after the sales was just horrid. Go to the Q50 forum and you can read hundreds of owners who regret buying this car. Several members have successfully gotten Infiniti to buy back the car. DAS is a gimmick. It doesn't work in the real world. It feels artificial and has tons of bugs. The Intouch unit is laggy and prematurely released. Everyone who bought the Q50 were unwilling beta tester for the company. Avoid Infiniti and the Q50. This car sucks and so does the company.

Don't buy from Infinity

Interior is creaks, engine is lights up every months, sterling wheel is give a judder when pushing break and many many other problems..... AND COSTUMER SERVICE ISTHE WORST... They are don't care about you your car and they reputation....!

It's Good but.........

I have owned 4 Infinitis before this one. 2007 FX35(loved it), 2012 G37XS(loved it), 2012 FX35 with Deluxe touring (Everyone loved this one) 2013 M37XS (I traded in my 2006 550i manual transmission because my M37XS made it feel slow) and lastly my Hagane Blue Q50 Hybris sport. I was really excite about getting 31 MPGs on the hughway in this car because I drive alot. The closest I have been able to get is 28 MPGs on the highway using cruise control. I use a simple fomula MPG = (miles driven)/(gallons). The car would say one number but it was always high by almost 3 MPGs. If it said 29, I would calculate 26-26.5. Unacceptable. Every car I've owned I have been able achieve the posted MPGs.

Love this car

I got the Infiniti not as an intential purchase and would have never known how incredible the car is otherwise I felt totally in Controll in the rain!! I love this car and this will be on the list in 6 months when I get a new one!

Life with my Q50

This car is great. I love the look and performance. The one and only draw back is that you only have the car charging station in the armrest and that there is only 2.

My Q50h

Loaded with Tech features. there are features not listed on the site: head light adaption, puddle lights, lighted sill plates for example. Very sporty take offs with the hybrid motors! Rise is a tad firm with run flats, but they are forgiving

Great buy!

I bought my 2014 q50 in 2017 for 33k (Canadian) at 49 thousand km. I'm at 147 thousand now. It still drives like when I first bought it never any problems! Cost me nothing to maintain just oil changes my brakes and a new battery last year. I highly recommend this car it's absolutely amazing it's my second Infiniti I use to have a g35x 2007 and same thing no problems!

Don't Queue the Qs

I've owned both Mercedes and Bmw and now a Q50 and in my opinion it handles just as well I haven't had many mechanical issues outside of regular maintenance... I wouldn't change anything aside from a few cosmetic things for customization purposes ... it is fun to drive and over all a very well designed car don't let a touchscreen stop you from buying this car if you're that picky go buy an aftermarket 1 unless you're driving to the corner of your driveway to check the mailbox it won't make a huge difference on your drive

Q50 is a disappointment

We purchased the Q50 because we loved our G35X so much. When we purchased the Q50 in early October 2013, we knew there were issues with the computer system. The salesperson told us that there would be a fix in November and we would be contacted. During October and November, we experienced a range of issues with the navigation system and one touch system. We had to reboot the system almost every time we drove the car. We were not contacted for the fix in November or December and we started to experience many steering issues. My wife contacted the Pittsburgh Infiniti dealer to no avail. I guess they were waiting for someone to be killed by the steering problem before taking action. Review update - 8/12/2016: we have owned the car now for almost three years. It has never lived up to our expectations. Cochran Infiniti (where we bought it) has not helped with liking the car. There have been many recalls on the steering and overall technology package on the car. The updates to the computer are poor or simply do not work after they have been performed. Either the dealer has poor techs or the updates suck. Not only will I never buy another Infiniti, I will not buy anything from Cochran. I believe that the majority of the issues we experienced were due to the new model, but neither the dealer or Infiniti have done right with resolving the issues.

Q50 IS A PIECE OF JUNK

I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone. Within the first 8 months of ownership, my Q50 had software problems, a leaking differential seal, 2 bad sensors which produced daily error messages. One even stated to shut the car down. It also had 2 recalls for a steering issue and the OCS system was incorrectly calibrated. Infiniti has refused to take back this lemon, so now I have to try to receive fair treatment through my state's Lemon Law. I should have purchased a LEXUS!

Run Flat Tires

I'd avoid the Q50 like the plague - I've had 7 flat tires in 2 years. Can't wait for the lease to end. Dealership and Infiniti USA don't want to acknowledge or deal with the issue but do your research - there are enough stories like mine to educate consumers about this proble..

Probably My Last Infiniti

I traded my G37 (that I loved) for the Q50. At first, I commented that I enjoyed the car more than I thought I would. Steering issues that others reported were not an issue with me. Electronics and tech are cool but finicky and can be distracting. After just three months in the car it died on me on the highway. Infiniti Connections was not a help in getting a tow truck. Two weeks plus at the Infiniti dealer no results in getting issue resolved. Two visits from Infiniti engineers and they want to run more tests. I'm told Hybrid battery discharged and the transmission is bad. But no resolution. Local dealer is trying to help but no word or help from corporate.

Satisfied with the Infiniti

Bang for your buck

I researched cars for weeks and finally pulled the trigger on a certified pre owned Q50. I got so much car for my money. Nothing else compared.

It's the perfect car for me.

I thoroughly enjoy this car. It's crazy fast, fun to drive and gets 25mpg. It's very quiet inside and has the best sound system I've ever heard. It has all the fun of a G37 but in classy, quiet, comfortable, luxury package. It feels very solid when you pound it. The handling is superb. I prefer to drive myself so I elected not to get all the high tech gismos. I did get AWD for the Minnesota winters, can't wait to utilize it. It's so fun to drive I already have 6000 miles on it. Try one, you'll find it's the best value out there. I get complements everyday on what a sharp looking car it is.

Terrific little sport sedan

This car is super quick for the class it's in. Great technology, very comfy in the front seat. We'll probably buy another

Q50 Rocket

It's not a jet, it's a ROCKET!!!!!

Sporty and Fun

I like it -- A LOT!!!! Great handling - fun to drive. Impressive overall
