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?

Great car at a great price
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.

Great ride for tall guys
After ten years with g35 I made the move to the q70 after driving Cadillac CTS and Hyundai Genesis. I like that it sits a bit higher for easier entry for a taller guy--I'm 6'5". And, I have tons of headroom and leg room. Even with moonroof which I haven't had in all prior cars due to my height. The handling isn't as crisp as g35 but it is a bigger car and I was ready for the extra room. Still handles very nicely. I like the Sport mode best--closer the the great handling of the G35. Gas mileage is only mediocre but that wasn't an issue for my needs. Love all the tech stuff--voice activated blue tooth, nav, locks, etc. I like the looks of the exterior and the looks, cush, pampering of the interior. Hoping for the same great reliability of my g35. Well, it's one year later and I'm still satisfied. The all wheel drive was great in the winter snow. Absolutely no maintenance problems (which will jinx me, for sure).

Former Mercedes owner says Infinity better car
I have owned 5 Mercedes including an S Class car. I compared this car to the Mercedes E350 and lower end S class cars, the Audi8 and the BMW's. It is definitely bigger than the E350 and about the same as the Audi, maybe the same or slightly larger, feeling than the S class? I have not compared the specs they will tell you but I am 6'1" and when sitting in the back can't touch the front seat and when in the front it is huge. I bought the car because of the technology package which is one of the tops on the market. The car has a smooth ride, quickly passes cars on the highway and is a joy to drive. This may be the best value luxury car on the market. I strongly suggest the "L" edition for the extra room.

not a brand slave
If you are looking for a RWD, very reliable, athletic, 6 cylinder, luxury car w impeccable fit and finish inside and out, and are not a brand slave to the ubiquitous grey/black/silver MB E350, Lexus GS350, or BMW 5, check out the Q70L. And you will pay $5K-$15K less than a similarly equipped MB E350, Lexus GS350, or BMW 5. On another note; I agree w other reviewers, the Bluetooth and app's are a bit dated. Chip
