  Still impressed - 1998 Infiniti Q45
  By fivelights - January 15 - 5:00 am

  Now Im up to about 175,000 miles. Check engine light is on which is emissions. Air bag light came on, which means one of the 6 airbags is malfunctioning. Other than this, my car has always been able to run without any problems. Never broke down on side of the road. Last week the dash board lit up like a Xmas tree. I sat on the car for 3 months afraid of the cost to take it it. Well I drove it to the shop and it was just the alt belt that snapped. 100 bucks. Outside of brakes rotors battery and oil change. This is the only repair that I had to make in the 5 +years of ownership. Even then I was still able to drive the car.

  Superb Ride - 1998 Infiniti Q45
  By Superb - December 23 - 6:00 pm

  I must confess that I was a HUGE Lexus fan and have owned the LS 400 and GS 400. Unfortunately I totaled my GS and we didnt want a car note, and couldnt find another GS that matched our price point. So, my husband bought the 98 Q for me and told me that I would not be disappointed. Well, how sweet it is! What a beautiful ride and it moves quickly when I need it to. A whole lot of power and luxury for very little cost. It is definitely an under rated vehicle. After owning Lexus V8s, this Q can role just as hard, if not harder! Oh and I forgot to mentioned that it currently has 138,000 miles on it.

  The car that put me down - 1998 Infiniti Q45
  By The Diva - March 30 - 8:30 am

  My second week in this car, only 30,000 miles the alternator went out and car stops with absolutely no warning lights or anything comes to a dead stop on a major highway which is heavily traveled by 18 wheelers. Thank God Im here to tell the story. If you have a choice in cars, do not... I repeat do not get an Infiniti.
