Having been in the market for a mid sized luxury vehicle for a few months I decided it would be best to drive all the vehicles in the class except the Audi A6. Audi and I don't get along hahaha. Ill start by saying all vehicles I tested had their pluses and minuses and were all really good cars. In short the Lexus GS350 was the only other one that wasn't "boring" to me, but it didn't have the "it" factor I was looking for. The BMW 535i and the Mercedes E350 felt really stale and old if that makes sense. Almost as if these would be great cars for my grandparents to drive. In steps the Infiniti Q70 Sport. Everything about this car I love. from the aggressive styling to the performance of the tried and true VQ engine. This car just does it for me. Not to mention the room inside the cabin. Being 6'5" and 250 I'm not a small guy and while driving the Inifiniti I don't feel cramped in at all. I can also sit in the back seat comfortably without hunching over. I can't remember the last time I was able to do that in a car....maybe 8th grade??? Now I will admit this car is a touch edgy, but in a good way. I love cars and like to feel connected to the road and not taken away from it like some of the others in that class have done. So If you are looking for a Sports Luxury sedan that looks fantastic and performs well while zipping around town look no further than the Infiniti Q70.

This is absolutely a wonderful car. I have driven MBZ for the past 25 years (1985 500SEL, 1998 & 2002 E320) and while those were good cars, when looking around for this purchase none of the MBZ (E), Audi (A6), Lexus (ES, GS), BMW (5) were as comfortable to get in and out of or be in as the Q70L. And this car has tremendous rear seat space, very much appreciated by our adult and very adult-sized kids. Good acceleration and handling, the mileage is a little better than expected, climate controls good, very comfortable overall. Yes, I got a tremendous deal because I bought a 2015 that had been around for a while, so that just adds to my excitement. My cost of ownership won't be anywhere near as high as what Edmunds or the other guys calculate. I'm very happy with my decision.

I'm upgrading from my beloved 2008 truck because I need to tote the elderly parents back and forth. Got a used Acura RDX in the interim but I couldn't stand the FWD dynamics although it was a definite improvement technology and ease of entry for me. My gently-used Infiniti Q70L is perfect for my current needs - I like to say I bought the back seats for Mom and Dad and the rest for me! It is a truly sharp-looking car and I believe a significantly safer car for me as I burn up the highways 3 hrs 1-way back and forth every week to look after the folks. I never lack for power or acceleration and it is truly a road warrior for me. Blue-tooth connectivity is awful as I can no longer read or respond to texts - but I honestly think this may be Divine Intervention for me (as I acknowledge it leads to distracted driving so I've accepted it and it no longer bothers me - I just warn people that I'm trying to meet up with to call, not text me when I'm on my way). Climate control is COLD and accurate but the fans associated with the cooled seats are loud. I still use them all the time, however, living in the Southeast. It's a physically beautiful car that is a joy to drive. Quick acceleration, tight turning radius, back to commanding RWD, a beast on the interstate, and not a pain to park in a city parking deck. Update: still love this smooth highway cruiser after a year of ownership and 26k more miles. Incredibly comfortable; powerful; planted at speed. And my elderly parents can still get in/out easier than any other vehicle with wheelchair in the backseat and 2 walkers in the trunk.

Infiniti Q70S: Underrated, High Value

Having lived with an Infiniti Q70S for six months, I can say that it is supremely competent and at $56K loaded beats its competition by a mile. Very good looking in a unique way (unlike it's anodyne competitors), extremely comfortable, very nimble for a large car (as in the same size as a BMW 740 or an Audi A8). 330 HP paired with the 7 speed transmission and 14" disc brakes, 20" wheels and the adjustable sport suspension is plenty. Also capable in difficult road conditions; last week we hammered through no less than six thunderstorms on an interstate with no difficulty. And perhaps the most important item from the vanity point of view: the valets always put the Q70S in the front row. So you've got competence, reliability, good looks, good handling, and a reasonable price going here. What could be wrong with that? ****************************** Update March 2017. Perfectly acceptable large sedan at a huge value compared to its competitors. Buyers who are concerned with extremely high performance (as in, cars with 400 hp and up) should look elsewhere). But the Q70S 3.7 is a supreme long distance cruiser (up to 155 mph) and is more than handy on twisty roads. No mechanical issues of any kind. Exterior paint is gorgeous as are 20" wheels and show no wear. Interior materials excellent after a year in use. A buyer has to consider what I call the shark look. I personally like the look a lot in the S version with 20" wheels and big brakes. It's so not anodyne as its competitors. A matter of taste; do you follow the crowd or do you want something distinctive?

Shop Infiniti first and you will go no further. I have owned Cadillacs, Lincoln's, Mercedes and Jaguar. Nothing comes close to the price and quality advantage of an Infiniti. This time around I seriously considered another Jaguar, but one ride in the Q70L quickly convinced me that Infiniti had hit another home run. These are great cars. These are beautiful cars. These are reliable cars. As the slogan says: "Own one and you will understand." 2nd review request: I repeat all of the above. I see Infiniti now has a self drive option on the new QX50. I can't wait to try it. I have owned or leased 6 Infiniti products and my daughter is on her 4th Infiniti product. We love these cars. The quality and price can't be matched by anyone.
