Overview & Reviews
The Q's five-speed automatic transmission gets a revised manual-shift mode, and the rearview backup camera now comes standard.
- Elegant and spacious interior, long list of standard luxury features, strong V8, costs less than the competition.
- Bland exterior design, unnecessarily complex interior controls, overly soft suspension.

A pleasure to own and drive - 2004 Infiniti Q45
By scschwarz - February 14 - 11:46 amFast, powerful, quiet, smooth, safe, reliable - what more can you ask for? A pleasure to own and drive, this luxury cruiser is highly recommended. Not flashy, but elegant and understated, it is a true "Q-ship" of the road.

Owning and Driving a "Q" - 2004 Infiniti Q45
By Walt Lockwood - January 20 - 10:00 amThe Q45 shouts quality from its sound insultated doors to its choice of automatic or manual shifter. Air conditioned or heated seats add to the pleasure and comfort of driving. With 340 hp (50 more than the Lexus 430), this car is exceptionally fast, with jack rabit capabilities from a standing start. A very responsive ride. The engine is especially quiet and smooth, e.g., it can be turning 5000 rpm with no noise or vibration, only apparent via the tach. Fuel economy has ranged from 19+ to 22 mpg. For making U turns, this car has a very short turning radius. Cruising at 75 mph requires 2500 rpm but very quiet. Paint and body work are superb. Just shutting the doors is a pleasure.

not a car for a family - 2004 Infiniti Q45
By paul - October 4 - 9:36 amalthough a supposedly luxury sedan, the trunk capacity is smaller than a Hondas. If you plan to make a car trip, ship your luggage. What were they thinking when they designed it ? My prior Lexus had 35% more capacity.

2004 Premium Sedan - 2004 Infiniti Q45
By azinfiniti - June 14 - 10:00 amI traded a 2002 base sedan for the 2004 premium. The ride is firmer and better especially in the sport mode. The pick up from 0-60 seems improved too. I thought the back-up mirror was a gimmick but its very useful in tight parking lots.

Q as in Questionable - 2004 Infiniti Q45
By Bdgrfan - June 18 - 10:00 amThe 2002 Q arrived with acclaims of power and build quality to rival Lexus.So I bought mine,this being my third Infiniti. I owned a J30 and a 97 Q. This car floats on the road and gives little feedback to the driver. The steering is loose and unresponsive. There is power but a lag after cornering. I have 68,000 miles on my Q and have brought it in service more than my Toyota pickup(which handles better). Paint peeled off the front fender,seat tracing replaced 3 times, teres replaced at 17,000 miles, ALL brakes rotors warped at 30,000 miles, now a front bearing and spindle broke. Wish I had never bought this piece of junk.

Infiniti Q45 - 2004 Infiniti Q45
By Paris Dunbar - March 26 - 9:00 amTerrific car but focuses too much on back seat comfort-reclining and heated back seats. Would have preferred power folding side mirrors, power seat belt height adjuster, power front headrests adjuster and passenger side lumbar support instead. Too little leg room in the rear compartment when the seats are reclined. Quiet interior until pavement breaks send noise into the cabin--the cars performance tires make more noise. Suggest swapping with quieter tires. Rides smoothly and handles extremely well on the straight and corners. High quality inside and out. Recommend over Lexus and German imports and is a better value.
