2014 INFINITI Q50 Premium 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)
15 of 16 people found this review helpful
I purchased my Q50 in mid-March. It was a demo with 1700 miles on it. The car was delivered pretty much flawless. I love the look of the interior/exterior, and the feel/comfort of the car is outstanding. The navigation system has worked fine for me. No mishaps, even driving on country roads. The interior is nicely laid out and the technology "concepts" are awesome. I just wish the "In Touch" did what it was marketed to do. I made the mistake of speeding up the delivery process since I had spent so much time in finance, so the salesman pitched the "apps" as if they worked. That angers me. But overall, I love my car and wouldn't trade it in for it's shortcomings.
Not Bad

I had a 2012 G37S, so this is a direct comparison. The Q50 isn't bad but it's a more refined and watered down G. The build is more solid with tighter fitting exterior joints and more solid interior. My G would creak and pop over any imperfection, this is much more solid of a car with a stiffer structure. The steering is not like the G AT ALL! New steer by wire is HORRIBLE! I have the elect assist and it has more feel but on center isn't great and too light. The car is quieter, but could be better. The run flat tires are prob the culprit. The gas mileage is pretty good, avg 30.9 on 600 mile trip at 65-75 mph. The infotainment system is half baked and needs major work.

I purchased my brand new Infiniti Q50 a few weeks ago. Everything about this car is great. Superb performance and quality. I was looking for a luxury sports sedan that can easily fit a child seat + 2 adults (occasionally) in a backseat and has reasonable trunk space. Also looked at C class and BMW 3 series, but they felt too small in that aspect. The main advantage of Infiniti Q50 in this segment is that 37k base car gets you 5.2 sec 0-60 performance. ~330 horses with no turbos, sounds awesome!
A gearhead's point of view.

First of all, stomping on the throttle is AMAZING. I love driving this car. The handling is beautiful. The brakes STOP the car very quickly. You should consider Infiniti more of a luxury sports car than a comfort car. The front seats are soft on my butt and legs, WAAAAY better than our Mercedes GLK 350 which literally cause me pain in about 5 minutes of driving it. I find the electronics intuitive, without the need to read a manual, which is totally different from my wife's 2014 Mercedes. I love, love, love to drive this car. The suspension is for driving fast in canyons, not to be confused for a fluffy marshmallow that you get in other luxury road cars. It handles bumps decently, about as good as my wife's Mercedes GLK 350, maybe even a little better. The MPG is reflective of the fact that Infiniti is squeezing EVERY bit of horsepower that they can out of this engine. If you want MPG, you need to get the Nissan Altima version of this car with 60 less horsepower. The slow booting of the BlueTooth is mildly annoying, but I get to listen to that great exhaust note in the meantime :-) . It has a nice little rumble when you start it up. This car was manufactured in 2014, so it may have less problems than those that were "2014" actually manufactured in 2013 (I hope). I live in UT and have to drive up a steep, snowy hill in the wintertime that my FWD Camry barely makes on some days. I didn't want an SUV, which are more expensive anyway, and the price point was $12,000 dollars less than an AWD V6 Lexus. I bought this as a Certified and bought the extended warranty, because I didn't want to pay when expensive electronics fail and I knew that Infiniti isn't as reliable as my Toyota's. Caveat: I've owned this less than a week, I can only speak about driving the car and nothing about reliability. The AC compressor started to howl when the climate control was on and they replaced it for a new one. Within 3 months, it started to make noise again and it's getting louder so I will get it replaced again. If money wasn't an issue, I would have bought a Lexus GS. If money isn't an issue with you, I would recommend that you buy a Lexus because the reliability will be light years ahead of this. 6 month update. I've put about 7k miles on it with a couple long road trips. I still looooove driving this car and I giggle whenever I stomp on the throttle (which I do all the time). I wish that the suspension was a little softer, but it's supposed to be for cornering and it does that very well.

I read the reviews on here and was nervous about buying the car. My wife and I wanted a 4 door sedan because we already had the Explorer Sport (large SUV). I bought the 2014 and wanted the '15 because of the so so rating s on the '14 Q50... but this car was too good of a deal to pass up because it only had 6K miles on it (Bought Used - prior owner only leased). I have not had any issues with the car since I have owned it ( 1+ Year.) The biggest complaint about this car on these reviews has been the electronics...GOOD NEWS! there is a software update for the electronics.. however it still has some really minor bugs. Example: When you start up the car its takes my car approximately 43-46 seconds for the apps to load. With this includes the rear camera "drive aid" lines. So if you hop in your car you can still use the reverse camera but the "drive aid" lines wont show up until your car software has loaded which again takes almost 1 minute. So this is occasionally annoying but not enough for me to hate the car. Other than that, the layout of the electronic is really nice. I am a simple guy who wanted a sharp looking car that had some kick to it ( this car definitely has some speed to it). I also wanted a car that when you sit in it, you are impressed by the look of the dash and the display which the double screens is really sharp. The one real knock I would have on the car is the lack of storage. Also, if you are over 6 foot - this car may be too tight for you but still check it out. I'm 5'11 (200lbs) and feels good but at times a little cramped. I'm not just talking about the trunk, I am talking about in the cabin too. the glove compartment is really small and the armrest storage is not deep at all. Also, the baby seat fits in the car but isn't as tight as I would personally like it... then again we take the Explorer for most long trips with the kids...Summary really fun car to drive and I wouldn't stress too hard on the electronics.
