This Year's Model Updates:

Infiniti takes aim at the BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with the all-new Q45 sedan. Unlike the forgettable previous version, the new Q has power and panache, just what it takes to woo the mid-luxury crowd.

Pros:
  • Killer stereo system, powerful V8 engine, high-tech rearview camera, blazing headlamps.
Cons:
  • Looks a little like a Hyundai up front, some bits and pieces in the cabin look and feel cheap, fussy navigation system.

    360h.p great.voice commands need refinement. Needs a better and better placed clock. Needs a compass. Acomfortable car that wont cry out for someone to key it or steal it.

  • Good value for your money - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    I have owned this car for more than 3 years and the biggest problem Ive had is that it is too big and too long for me to move in tight parking lots. Otherwise the car is very reliable and comfortable, with ample power.

    At just under $50K, its a great value. You dont see yourself everywhere (like you do w/ a MB, BMW, Lexus), its fast, luxurious, and fun. I did a lot of research, drove them all, and am a former MB, BWM, and Lexus owner. I had a down payment on another BMW 530i and then stumbled over the Infiniti. I hadnt even considered the Q - mistakenly thought it was in a higher price range. Drove the Q, bought the Q.

  • DO NOT overlook the Q45 - superior !! - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    We looked at all the competitors - BMW 7 series, Mercedes 500, Lexus 430, the Infiniti Q45 outperforms in all aspects: fit & finish, 340 HP engine, birds view navigation, voice recognition, rear seat reclines! and rear seat controls, you must see and drive this car before you make a decision.

  • Q45 - 2002 Infiniti Q45

    When I took delivery of car there were several recalls or service upgrades that the dealer had not addressed. It had a defective wheel(out of round) which dealer refused to warrant. Rear sunshade broke at 33,000 miles. Electronics malfunction occasionally requiring you to turn off car and reset. Easier to use manual controls rather than voice as I cant remember exact wording and everyone must stop talking. Car magazine tests show about 6.5 to 60. Fast but a long way from 5.9. Needs switch to turn off traction control. My last car was Lexus LS400 which was superior in quality, dealer service and workmanship. Not holding value.

    The absolute best high end automobile I have ever owned (big MBs, Beamers, Cad). A dream to drive. Like all dealers - they milk the system excessively - but the quality of the car makes it worth the BS.

  • New - 2002 Infiniti Q45

    I traded a 740iL where I felt every bump in the road to the smoothest quietest ride avail today. 340hp gets you moving in a hurry. Like the map feature as well as voice controls.

  • Not impressed - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    No doubt this is a comfortable ride, but the joy stops there. Maintenance is a wallet-draining nightmare, and with the price of (premium only!) gas these days, along with a dismal 16 mpg fuel efficiency, this car is a waste of money. The high-powered headlights are great until one needs to be replaced (at a premium price, of course). This car spent almost as much time in the shop as it did in my driveway. The paint and body are ridiculously fragile. I traded mine in for a Subaru. I only wish I would have done it sooner.

  • WOW! - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    This car has the prowess of a panther. It is understated and unique. Why spend a nickel more to buy a Benz when everytime Im at the carwash Mercedes owners ask me about the car and say that this is their next car. Its a Techies dream, smokes almost anything out there, its safe, solid and the stereo is awesome. The speed and handling however must be experienced to be believed. Buy this car.

  • What a car - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    Fast, Fast & comfortable-no problems did not get nav system-too hard for me.Clock hard to read--Drives well at speed near & over 100. Tested one at my nearest dealer, but he could not locate a millenium jade. Bought from a dealer who could get my color. I must be careful to check tach to see if engine is running-so quiet & vibration free. Wife loves to drive it also. Original tires have 1/3+ tread after 49K miles.
