Overview & Reviews
The Q45 enters into 2003 with a few changes. Refinements include a higher numerical final drive ratio for better acceleration, slightly revised front and rear styling, new exterior colors, the addition of standard heated seats and a full-size spare tire. An optional satellite radio is now being offered along with some new optional equipment packages.
- Great stereo system, powerful V8 engine, blazing headlamps.
- Uninspiring front-end looks, fussy controls.

After 3 years, I still love my Q - 2003 Infiniti Q45
By bentley - June 5 - 7:36 amIve always wanted a real luxury car, and I finally got what I wanted. I had to wait until March of the following model year, but I bought it new. I have never had one issue with the car since we bought it 3 years ago, so I couldnt be happier. We intend to keep this car from 10 to 20 years, so we hope our good fortune continues.

Best car by far... - 2003 Infiniti Q45
By Jimbo377 - January 9 - 2:00 amI have owned a couple luxury cars in the past, including a 1993 Lexus LS400, a 2000 BMW 5-series. The Lexus was a great, reliable car, but was about as exciting to drive as watching the seniors amateur golf classic. The 5 series was just the opposite: fun to drive but not as well put-together (in the shop 4 times in my 2 years of ownership). The new Q45 trumps both of these cars as the best compromise between the two: awesome performance in the lap of luxury... but also well put-together. This car will easily last me a good 7-10 years.

New gearing makes all the difference - 2003 Infiniti Q45
By GregT - January 9 - 2:00 amIve owned three Infiniti Q45s, and have loved every one of them. The folks at Infiniti have really outdone themselves this time. I drove the 2002 model when it first came out, and really loved it... but I must admit the acceleration didnt impress like I thought it would. I read that the gearing would be improved for 2003, so I waited. Another test drive and I was sold. You can really feel the difference. The feeling of your internal organs being compressed against your spine is like none other. Infiniti makes the best cars, hands down, and this one is the creme de la creme.

Nice Package - 2003 Infiniti Q45
By freshalloyfan - August 28 - 2:00 amGreat acceleration and very smooth power train. Quiet cabin except for an occasional growl of the engine when you first tap the accelerator. Technology and particularly voice recognition is outstanding, a nice safety idea.

Well executed and unique - 2003 Infiniti Q45
By J. Duensing - July 19 - 10:00 amOn year end clearance pricing, this car represented great value for the money, far exceeding the value equation for the Mercedes E series, BMW 5 series or Lexus LS400. The car is powerful, refined, very comfortable inside and has many features not offered as standard on the competitive models (halogen headlights, voice recognition, 340 HP engine). My car also came equipped with a Sirius satellite radio package which has been great. I realize the resale is not as good on the Q45 vs. competitive models, but if you can get an agressively priced lease deal from Inifiniti Financial Services, the residual risk and resale value is not a concern.

Solid Car - 2003 Infiniti Q45
By Tom Reynolds - February 28 - 9:06 amMy Q-45 is one solid, reliable car. In 16000 mostly city miles I have averaged 17.8MPG. Those miles I have driven with outstanding performance and fantastic comfort. This is my 3rd Infinity Q-45 and the number of repairs required for them is ZERO. In comparison, my friends S class has had numerous electrical problems, my familys Lexus several small problems and my BMW Z-3 a disaster. The car does not have the dingleberries of more expensive cars but, as a car, is superior IMHO
