My husband and I have been leasing Infinitis for over 10 years totalling to 4 Infinitis our latest 2018 q50 has been an absolute nightmare we have had 2 transmission changes , had to replace all 4 tires , our back door the lock wont open so you cant get in the back seat, we have had no accidents with this car and we have only driven 20000 miles in 3 years, a car is supposed to be reliable we have taken this car in to the shop so many times I cant even count , all while pregnant as a health worker during the pandemic when they werent giving loaner cars waiting hours for an answer and then having to figure out getting another car till ours was ready , our back door lock broke with our newborn in the back with no way to get in but climbing through the front we felt that we had a shitty broken down old car as opposed to a brand new luxury fully loaded car!! We will never again get an infinity cant wait to give this car in!!

I feel sorry for the person who now oens this car. I have seen several deaths from loss pf steering in the q50 and its sad the manufacturer doesnt care about consumers. Im happy to hear sales on the q50 have fallen I took my car in the first month because of it drifting to the right constantly and was told its roadcrown but nothing ever inspected. roadcrown is in the right lanes not every lane. the 4th month the run flat on front right blew out on the sidewall but was no potholes around and roadside assistance never came to tow my car. I had to buy 4 new tires. The 14th month new tire on front right has sidewall damage again with a crack on the inner lip of the rim. Rim was replaced but nothing else inspected. Potholes will throw a car way out of alignment. i went to pay for alignment and only spec out was the left front toe. Now in spec car drifts to the right even more. So if you want a self driving car lol that will go from the left lane to the far right lane in 2 to 3 seconds all by its self i guess its for you. If you want a car that will be a constant money pit, unsafe snd warranty not covering this car is for you. The manufacturer claims this car is manufactured to constantly drift to the right but i csnt find this complaint anywhere. That seems to be the stupidest thing i ever heard and seems very unsafe. However the company has never drove the car to make this conclusion. cars are put at spec to fight roadcrown. ive never owned a car that seems to drive so unsafe. The lower control arm bushings are defective and leaking and this is whats causing this issue. These defects are not warrantable and cost me 3600.00 to fix the issue. The fuel rails are also defective and leaking gas. I have 25k miles and have replaced my tires 3 times now

So it’s my first time getting an Infiniti and wow I’m in love. First of all it drives like a dream. Coming from a Mercedes cla....now I’m driving a REAL car. Amazing pickup and boy can it take a curse nicely. Probably my favorite car I’ve ever driven. I got the silver on black. It’s sporty, it’s classy, it’s everything. Total satisfied customer!

2020 INFINITI Q50S

This is my third new INFINITI Q50 Sedan. Got the S Model which I prefer with better trim, wheels and tires. 300 hp Turbo V6 offers plenty of power. Fuel mileage is average, I get 19.0-19.5 overall with a mix of City/Highway driving and I drive briskly. Premium fuel required. Interior is spacious and comfortable for 4 people. Seats are comfortable, have driven 300 miles without discomfort or fatigue. I like the blind spot warning system and the front/rear cameras. Power tilt/telescope steering wheel is great for multiple drivers as my wife is much shorter than I am. Has 2 Pre Sets for seats/mirrors etc. Love the Sun Roof. Trunk is good size for luggage. A/C works well and I live in the desert. Possible negatives: gas mileage is not great; no Hybrid or EV trims offered yet; and while I like the Styling it has not changed in quite a few yrs.

This is the 2nd Q50S Red Sport I've owned. With 400hp and 350lb torque, the thing is a screamer. Very fun to drive and a great value for the $$$. Few downsides: exhaust note sounds like a Ford Focus, 19" instead of 20" wheels, very outdated user tech for the driver, too much chrome on the exterior. UPDATE...June 2022. Despite it being a really fun car to drive, my friend's new ride, bought in November 2021, caught my attention. He bought a 2022 BMW X5 M50i with its twin turbo, 32 valve, 523hp motor. I bought a M550i sedan, with the same motor, the following February. The BMW is far more expensive, of course, but the technology and sophistication is in an entirely different realm. My former Q50S Red Sport looks quite primitive by comparison. I'll be interested to see if Nissan decides to invest in a major update to its higher-end Infiniti's. My guess is that they'll soon abandon the current Q50 platform. Will it be replaced with another high performance V6 or V8? I doubt it.
