It is a great sedan but not for very thigh and big (tall) people as it is on the more compact side. I love it and would buy another one in a heart beat. the lines and design are great. I have a chocolate bronze with leather wheat interior and it is very attractive.

We leased a Q50S with Deluxe Touring package back in Oct 2014... it's everything we've expected; FUN TO DRIVE! Good handling, exciting technology that comes with the Deluxe Touring package. The car is very stylish (specially in sport model), the interior is very well put together and the seats are very comfortable. We upgraded from a G37x to this car, some of the difference are that the Q50 is a bit lower in the back, the wind noise is very irritating, but no complaints about the run flats. They are designed like that, they will give you a bit more of a road noise than regular tires. Over all... happy campers with this car!!

ELectronics Don't Work - Don't Buy

Although I enjoy the way the car drives, when I purchased it I was told that "software updates" would correct any problems. Bottom line, over a year later I have to reboot the computer (turn the car off and on and it takes 45 seconds to boot) because the center console is blank, radio doesn't work, sensors for detecting near objects (like my garage posts) don't stop beeping, radio cuts in and out (not reception), apps don't work.... need I say more? Car doesn't live up to billing which is why I bought it. I object to the way they rolled this out and would not buy another Infinity. Never had this problem with my prior Lexus.

DON’T BUY THIS CAR YOU WILL WISH YOU HADN’T IT A PIECE OF POOP 💩. When we got the Q50s we were excited because of the looks and I thought it would be an upgraded model of the Nissan but how wrong we were. Within a few thousand miles the brakes started shaking the hole car and we took it in and they kept telling us nothing was wrong with the car but just normal wear but the brake pads were still new looking and rotors were warped and needed replaced at 9000 miles like I had driven the Indy 500 or something. We had taken to the dealer 3to 4 times and same result, very annoying. So I had to fix them while the car was under warranty. If you think it might just be the one car that I have, look up the brake issues for the Infiniti Q50 and you will see what I’m talking about. I just hope you see this before you buy it and don’t end up like I did. Also, we have taken it in for the a/c to get repaired and they said nothing was wrong with it the 2 times we took it to the dealer while under warranty and now that the warranty is up they seem to think there may be an issue with it after us telling them for the last 3 years it was messed up. Now we have one one window that rolls up and down, which is the driver side window. It’s had what seems like a dozen recalls for the computer stuff with it. I will be here for days telling you all the stuff that the car has had issues with so I will just end this the same way I started this please listen to me don’t buy this car, you will regret it. STAY AWAY DON’T BUY THIS CAR piece of 💩 POOP.

I leased the base model with the sunroof about 1.5 weeks ago. I didn't want to pay for (or deal with) the electronic issues and gizmos and the base version hit my target price. It looked great, drove well, and met my needs for size. The downside is this car smells...bad. Two others like it smelled bad, too, but the dealership claimed that whatever I was smelling would wear off or they'd take care of it. After a few days, I returned and was told there was nothing they could do and I could trade it, lemon law it, or try to air it out. No luck. Software is buggy and slow and they are still saying apps are coming in 1 more month. I'm regretting my choice but, at least it looks good. Update 6/16 Infiniti let me down. I thought they were a class act but they are not. After a long period of denial, they finally acknowledged they had a problem with the smell coming from the drainage system around the sunroofs of the Q50. Once they replaced it, the smell lingered for a while but eventually went away. Unfortunately, they wouldn't do anything about the electronics. Still slow to load and buggy as can be. So, where even cheap cars will have guide lines on their backup cameras as soon as you shift, with the Q50 you have to wait like two minutes. The clock will sometimes show only a face with no hands because the computer has lost the time/date. The radio stations you've programmed will sometimes just disappear. The automatic climate control will just stop functioning and you have to reboot the computer. Most of the available functionality and features won't work (internet, email, text, etc.) None of it is end of world stuff...just annoying for the most expensive car I've ever purchased/leased. To be fair, I enjoy driving it as far as driving goes. The power is there when you want it, it's comfortable, no complaints there. Still like the way it looks, too. The headlights don't reach out enough on low beam which can be hazardous, though. I've noticed a few times that the sensor for the passenger seat airbag wasn't working properly and, as it turns out, I just received a notice of a recall on that issue. I don't regret getting it, I enjoy driving it, but every time I consider that I could have purchased a much cheaper car with more features and functionality, I feel like it was a mistake I won't make again. I will not buy a car that doesn't work fully again or from a company that has the nerve to say "that's just the way it was designed" when something is clearly not right. I had a few Accords before this and all were great cars for a lot less money.
