I've had my car for 1 month now, and I am very impressed. The power and handling is excellent. The black on black looks sleek and mean. The interior quality is top notch, and it's full of nice options. Yes, the computer takes a bit of time to power up, but it's no big deal. You still have immediate access to the back-up camera, climate controls, and radio controls via the steering wheel buttons. Stop whining, people, and just enjoy driving this machine. Not a single problem with this car yet. I did not get the navigation, no need for it. And I don't know why people are complaining about the run flat tires. The tires are fine. This car is simply fun to drive!
Awesome Car. Should be rated much higher

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.

Bought the car at Infiniti in Georgia with just over 10,000 miles. It's a 2014 and I bought it in mid 2015. I average about 60 miles per day. Here are the problems: 1 - about 8 months after I bought the car so in 2016, I noticed the window button having cracked. Doesn't affect the use, but I feel the crack every time I go to use it. Shouldn't happen at this price and age of a "luxury" car. 2 - in late 2016, the driver side window started making a horrid squealing sound when it gets wet and it's opened/closed. Again...shouldn't happen at this price and age of a "luxury" car. 3 - the back seat row has the middle foldable cup holder that comes out of the back and behind it is a piece of what seems like a sturdy piece of plastic fold-able piece separates the trunk and the seat when the cup holders are down. Well this broke and came out the second time the cup holder was used. Shouldn't happen at this price and age of a "luxury" car in my humble opinion. 4 - at about 59,500 miles the check engine light came on and upon starting the car excessive white smoke comes out of the exhaust. Made appointment with dealership and after 6 hrs they can't find ANYTHING wrong other than it's about 4 quarts low on oil and it needs back breaks. They must have reset the check engine light. A week later, engine light comes back on and I take it back to dealer at 60,003 miles. This is where magic happens. An hour into sitting at the dealer, they discover the engine is so full of sludge that I just plain and simple need a new engine. It's worth to point out that bumper-to-bumper expires at 60,000 miles. Amazing. Now we have to argue that we should not pay for the engine. It was brought in while under bumper-to-bumper and really, a new engine shouldn't happen at this price and age of a "luxury" car!! Of course I'm being accused of not changing oil frequently enough, however they will be receiving receipts to prove that I've done my part. 5 - 4 months ago I had the back brakes changed and now are being told I urgently need new brakes again. Should break pads wear down in 4 months? Never owned a car where the breaks wear in 4 months and my driving habits/patterns hasn't changed much in the past 15 years. 5 - the back up camera doesn't always work. Some days it just chooses to be black until next start up. For me, these are too many problems for a car in this price range. I have owned a Nissan Xterra and a QX80 and I have loved the durability and quality, but this car has made me skeptic of the brand and quality. I buy my cars and I keep them for years. The Xterra I had for 12 years with near 200,000 miles and never had any issues other than regular maintenance. The Q80 I had for 18 months before trading in for a smaller more gas efficient Q50. Disappointed in the brand and the declining quality, along with poor Inifiniti customer service from both dealer and corporate. Next car will be trying a Tesla and hoping for better quality and care on that one since Infiniti has disappointed.

This review is coming from someone who likes to drive aggressively. Two thumbs up. 2 cars ago I had a 2010 VW GTI. Loved it, 'til I drove it (almost literally) to the ground. It had to have a new engine at 80k mi, so instead, I was then in the market for a new vehicle. I've always liked smaller cars and their handling and steering, so this was somewhat of a big step to take to go with a "mid-size sports luxury sedan." I had the 2014 Q50 for a year and I really liked it; I upgraded to a 2015 Q50 with a few more options (they took my 2014 as a trade-in). I'd never driven an Infiniti before the 2014 Q50, but my friend has/had a Nissan Maxima, another friend had an Infiniti M37, and a friend has an Infiniti EX37. My friends' opinions about the reliability of Infiniti kind of persuaded me to try it, and I'm glad I did. It is "less connected" to the road, especially with the way I want to drive, but I still enjoy it, but this means a softer, smoother ride--a comfy drive. My friend even commented on the smooth suspension as a passenger (although, he had a BMW 3-series, so that's a pretty big difference). The big 327HP V6 engine is pretty powerful. With a 3 adult passengers and a trunk full of luggage, the Q50 still has no trouble accelerating quickly. The Bose surround sound is pretty nice; very similar to Nissan's. You have to play around with the sound settings to get it just the way you like it (took me about a week). Sometimes the bass can be too loud; depends on what kind of music you listen to. Navigation is decent. Back-up camera is good (and the display is big too). Note: There is a big difference between the non-premium version and the premium version of the Q50, the premium version has steer-by-wire, which gives it a much more disconnected feel. You get used to it after a while (of all the loaner cars I've ever gotten), but they are drastically different. My Q50 does not have steer-by-wire. If money were not an obstacle, I would've gotten the Q50S for the sport suspension/tuning.

Excellent car! Perfect size for the sport luxury sedan. Quality feel inside and out. Quiet cabin, only 3.7 liter engine roar when pushed. Tech features are really nice, easy to use. The car can literally drive itself on the highway, you must see this... No way you can rear-end anyone, with car braking for you. Around view monitor with those sonar and radar warnings beeping and pulsing making garage entry and exit just a breeze. But, the most importantly, when get bored with all that automation, slight push to the gas pedal is leaving the "crowd" behind. The only concern when that happens, those runflat Dunlop tires are stiff and noisy. Not expecting them to last either, luckily.
