I am a 6 time Infiniti owner who made the ill fated mistake of leasing a loaded (every possible option) 2014 Q50S. I am not going to get into the widely reviewed issues with the rushed out, garbage InTouch system or the take you life in your hands DAS steering wonder. On the good side, the car is very attractive, well designed and performs well. That's where it ends. The noise level on the inside is equal to that of riding on a train. The factory supplied (long gone) run flat tires are noisy as hell, are blow out prowen (4 in 2 years). The passenger side seat rattles, the backup and front cameras are total mud and have long delays going on and going off. All of these issues when taken into the dealer and logging complaints with Infiniti have been answered with the typical Infiniti response " CAN NOT REPLICATE" Now 27 months into a 39 month lease my car has been the shop for 5 weeks. The brake pedal will sink to the floor after a 20 mile or so drive. The car does stop, but it stops long and feels unstable. The dealer has replaced the master cylinder after 3 times of doing nothing except for giving me the old " CAN NOT REPLICATE" Now it is the shop again waiting for define intervention from Infiniti. On top of that there is well known issues with the airbag system on this car. 3 Recalls later and 2 malfunction lights I can't say with confidence that they work. In the end, if you are looking for a quality car in the $55,000+ range and you have any value for your sanity and the life of you and your loved ones, run away from this car, this manufacture and their dealer network. I thought I would never write such a review on Infiniti. They have betrayed me and thousands of faithful followers.

Love this car. Before I buy, I research extensivly and test drive multiple cars and then keep it for 10 years. The Q50S is a blast to drive, very fast, smooth, and quiet. The interior is well laid out and high tech. I love the technology package that provides auto braking, adaptive cruise, and lane control. This car looks great and drives even better.

This car is awesome. I have owned this car for almost three years. I now have 159k miles (I drive a lot for work). Literally the only repairs I have done except oil changes were a front ball joint and brakes. That is pretty good considering the mileage and FYI don’t go to Infiniti dealers to get repairs done other then oil changes(run about $60). This car drives just like it should just took on a vacation over 1100 miles one way. Got over 475 miles on a tank mind you this car has AWD and 360 hp. Mind you this car is fast it can do 0-60 in 4.8 seconds what other cars can get that mpg and go this far on a tank of gas? None absolutely none. Also my car has the deluxe touring package this car can literally drive itself. This package consists of adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, around view camera, blind spot, adaptive headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, parking sensor front and rear and navigation. I would never own another car ever without all these driving aids. I have owned 3 Infiniti’s and you better believe I will keep this thing until the wheels falls off. There is no other car I would rather have and drive everyday. This car is awesome In the snow. My only complaints are when driving in stop and go traffic the car can be annoyingly jumping going from electric mode to gas mode. It’s not the smoothest but luckily I don’t drive in those conditions very often. Update: Traded car for another. Got a great deal on a one owner with 49k miles.

Finding a used treasure

I gave up a G35 for the mileage benefit of a fully loaded Nissan Altima Hybrid, which I rode for 6 years. I returned to Infiniti in desire of muscle, but having been spoiled by the MPG of the Altima Hybrid. Purchasing the Q50 Hybrid Sport AWD at ~33% discount to its new cost after just 11,000 miles, I was able to return to the sporty comfort of Infiniti giving up just 5mpg and gaining updated controls and muscle. Two weeks into ownership, I find myself, enjoying the ride, comfortable on the road, driving at 65mph, less in a rush to get anywhere, and knowing that with a tap of the pedal in sport mode, I can pass most all cars on the road and beat almost any car through the intersection as the red light turns green.

Buyer beware defects

2014 INFINITI Q50 Hybrid Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid 7A)

I leased a beautiful red Q50 hybrid in October 2014. We live in Wisconsin. In January 2015, the steering froze due to arctic weather in Wisconsin 0 degrees. Dealer had car for over a month to repair. International Infiniti couldn't be bothered with replacing said defective car. Fast forward to January 2016. Guess what? The steering does not work again. Hmm. You need steering in all climates. Do not buy this car under any circumstance. Brakes do not stop well if you hit a bump. The electronics do not work properly. The fuel economy for a hybrid isn't worth the extra money. Infiniti should recall all of these cars until the defect is fixed. This car will kill someone.
