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.

  • Lexus Killer - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    The 2002 Q45 is a great value for the money. It is several thousand dollars less than the lexus(dealers will give large cuts off sticker). You get lots of toys which include a central panel with a womens voice that talks to you. I have the base model. You can get a tighter suspension with the sport for a BMW feel. The 340hp engine has wonderful pick-up.

  • This car stinks! - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    Left me stranded and needed flat- bedding to the nearest dealership twice in two years. I received notice of factory recalls after the items concerned had already broken on my car. Lousy parts availability and only fair diagnostic capability; the overhead map light required 4 visits to the dealership to diagnose and finally repair (It was the sunglass holder pressing on a connector that shorted the lamp "assembly."). Clock, silver hands on a silver dial, totally unreadable; re-painted it white-on- black myself. Transmission takes a week to downshift. Trunk smaller than it should be. Stereo very good, driver comfort great, handling okay, paint the worlds most fragile.

  • Q45 Drive - 2002 Infiniti Q45

    My Q45 is a blast to drive. I have a car with the premium package with the Intelligent Cruise Control. For a large car, it handles exceptionally well. its fast, quiet and solid. My Q has just about every option and is still a better value than a comparably equipped BMW 745i, Lexus LS 430 or Mercedes S 430. For value, reliability and overall driveability I will pick the Q every time. Terry Fobbs

  • Satisfying but pricey - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    The power is great, but it drinks up gas as well. In the winter, with only city driving, Im getting only 10.3 mpg-summer time it goes back up to 17. I love the comfort, and the V8 engine is absolutely silent. Maintainance is pretty expensive as well with even the smallest of problems. Just bought new tires for $900. This car is ultimate luxury for the price your paying. The car is heavy, but the power its backed up with makes up for it. Personally, I love the car, but the maintainance is getting a bit too pricey for me.

  • The Best for the money - 2002 Infiniti Q45

    Most powerful car in its class. A blast to drive.

  • the Q-45 i LIKE it - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    smooth,refined and easy to handle. It is designed to instill confidence on the road. The dealer was a dream to work with. Service with the dealer has been first class, unlike the "we dont care attitude at lexus."

  • Awesome car - 2002 Infiniti Q45

    Best car for the money. Doesnt look like grandpas lexus ls430 but has the quality and finish of a lexus. Puts th german competition to shame.

  • Performance Sedan - 2002 Infiniti Q45
    By -

    After considerable thought and research, I bought the Q. They were steering me to the G35, but the Q was in a completely distinct category. Safety, power, comfort, service, sound system, reputation and price were the main considerations and in that order. It has the sport suspension and 18" wheel, so you can upgrade the performance. The ride will be harsher, the minimal sway and rocking will be almost eliminated, but hey, is this for the track? I owned a 928S. This gives me thae same satisfaction of ownership even if not the same amount of recognition. Yes, the analog clock should be tilted upward, but nothing is ever perfect.

    This car is wonderful. Infiniti has really done a job well done. The Q45 is so luxurious and fun to drive. I got my new Q45 to 150 mph! The engine sounds great. I hit 6500 rpm! It has top quality leather and very fancy wood. the sound system is the best sound system in the world. Better than the mark levinson in the lexus. The 300-watt bose has the potential of a 8000 watt! I would take this over a rolls royce any day!
