  Its the perfect car for me. - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By pkieffer - February 8 - 12:33 pm

  I thoroughly enjoy this car. Its crazy fast, fun to drive and gets 25mpg. Its very quiet inside and has the best sound system Ive ever heard. It has all the fun of a G37 but in classy, quiet, comfortable, luxury package. It feels very solid when you pound it. The handling is superb. I prefer to drive myself so I elected not to get all the high tech gismos. I did get AWD for the Minnesota winters, cant wait to utilize it. Its so fun to drive I already have 6000 miles on it. Try one, youll find its the best value out there. I get complements everyday on what a sharp looking car it is.

  Well...it looks good... - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By srq5363 - February 1 - 9:07 pm

  I leased the base model with the sunroof about 1.5 weeks ago. I didnt want to pay for (or deal with) the electronic issues and gizmos and the base version hit my target price. It looked great, drove well, and met my needs for size. The downside is this car smells...bad. Two others like it smelled bad, too, but the dealership claimed that whatever I was smelling would wear off or theyd take care of it. After a few days, I returned and was told there was nothing they could do and I could trade it, lemon law it, or try to air it out. No luck. Software is buggy and slow and they are still saying apps are coming in 1 more month. Im regretting my choice but, at least it looks good.

  A compromised sport sedan - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By ocd168 - September 6 - 1:25 am

  After leasing the car for about 6 months, 5k miles, heres my assessment. Accelerating from standstill is great, the electric motor really provides a smooth takeoff combined with the gas engine for the power. In "sport" mode it is fast (0-60 in 4.9s). However, taking turns or windy road is a different matter, I never feel the car is planted like the 3-series, car feels unstable at times. Sometimes the auto brake, lane departure tech get in the way of driving, I usually turn it off on local streets. The lane departure prevention is of little use because when the lane curves too much it wont correct for you. The touch-screen computer is extremely SLOW, needs a faster processor.

  Its Good but......... - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By jrich73 - August 13 - 3:33 am

  I have owned 4 Infinitis before this one. 2007 FX35(loved it), 2012 G37XS(loved it), 2012 FX35 with Deluxe touring (Everyone loved this one) 2013 M37XS (I traded in my 2006 550i manual transmission because my M37XS made it feel slow) and lastly my Hagane Blue Q50 Hybris sport. I was really excite about getting 31 MPGs on the hughway in this car because I drive alot. The closest I have been able to get is 28 MPGs on the highway using cruise control. I use a simple fomula MPG = (miles driven)/(gallons). The car would say one number but it was always high by almost 3 MPGs. If it said 29, I would calculate 26-26.5. Unacceptable. Every car Ive owned I have been able achieve the posted MPGs.

  Having owned both the Q50 2014 and the 2015... - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By CoffeeBean - July 24 - 8:18 am

  This review is coming from someone who likes to drive aggressively. Two thumbs up. 2 cars ago I had a 2010 VW GTI. Loved it, til I drove it (almost literally) to the ground. It had to have a new engine at 80k mi, so instead, I was then in the market for a new vehicle. Ive always liked smaller cars and their handling and steering, so this was somewhat of a big step to take to go with a "mid-size sports luxury sedan." I had the 2014 Q50 for a year and I really liked it; I upgraded to a 2015 Q50 with a few more options (they took my 2014 as a trade-in). Id never driven an Infiniti before the 2014 Q50, but my friend has/had a Nissan Maxima, another friend had an Infiniti M37, and a friend has an Infiniti EX37. My friends opinions about the reliability of Infiniti kind of persuaded me to try it, and Im glad I did. It is "less connected" to the road, especially with the way I want to drive, but I still enjoy it, but this means a softer, smoother ride--a comfy drive. My friend even commented on the smooth suspension as a passenger (although, he had a BMW 3-series, so thats a pretty big difference). The big 327HP V6 engine is pretty powerful. With a 3 adult passengers and a trunk full of luggage, the Q50 still has no trouble accelerating quickly. The Bose surround sound is pretty nice; very similar to Nissans. You have to play around with the sound settings to get it just the way you like it (took me about a week). Sometimes the bass can be too loud; depends on what kind of music you listen to. Navigation is decent. Back-up camera is good (and the display is big too). Note: There is a big difference between the non-premium version and the premium version of the Q50, the premium version has steer-by-wire, which gives it a much more disconnected feel. You get used to it after a while (of all the loaner cars Ive ever gotten), but they are drastically different. My Q50 does not have steer-by-wire. If money were not an obstacle, I wouldve gotten the Q50S for the sport suspension/tuning.

  A Beautiful Machine - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By tageo - June 3 - 11:37 pm

  Ive had my car for 1 month now, and I am very impressed. The power and handling is excellent. The black on black looks sleek and mean. The interior quality is top notch, and its full of nice options. Yes, the computer takes a bit of time to power up, but its no big deal. You still have immediate access to the back-up camera, climate controls, and radio controls via the steering wheel buttons. Stop whining, people, and just enjoy driving this machine. Not a single problem with this car yet. I did not get the navigation, no need for it. And I dont know why people are complaining about the run flat tires. The tires are fine. This car is simply fun to drive!

  Q50 is a disappointment - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By ray - May 2 - 12:53 am

  We purchased the Q50 because we loved our G35X so much. When we purchased the Q50 in early October 2013, we knew there were issues with the computer system. The salesperson told us that there would be a fix in November and we would be contacted. During October and November, we experienced a range of issues with the navigation system and one touch system. We had to reboot the system almost every time we drove the car. We were not contacted for the fix in November or December and we started to experience many steering issues. My wife contacted the Pittsburgh Infiniti dealer to no avail. I guess they were waiting for someone to be killed by the steering problem before taking action.

  Would love to have my G37 back - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By ejs855 - December 30 - 9:58 am

  I made a hasty (and regrettable) decision to trade in my G37 6 months ago for the Q50. My payment is less, but since its costing me ALOT more in gas, it was hardly worth the trade. Really dislike the tedious (and not too reliable) navigation system (was told it would be a big improvement over the Navtech that I had in the G37 - I dont agree). I wish I had gone with a Lexus or BMW. I hardly see any Q50s on the road...I think I know why.

  Luxury Car Of The Year ! - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By saminhouston - December 13 - 11:35 pm

  I love this car just purchased it brand new, right off the lot. I drove a fully loaded 2008 infiniti G35 sedan before this one (now its my work car lol). I love infinitis because they are reliable, fast, fun, and stylish! So far Ive put 6k miles on it & it has been a dream to drive.. i mean infiniti really outdone itself this time. Everything is excellent (seriously), infinitis version of the i-drive system is very simple , not too much of a learning curb at all. All the driving modes really help, i have the hybrid so i avg 32 mpg on gas with 354 horses :) .. no words can describe how great this car is, dont believe me? Go test drive one, the infiniti Q50 wont let you down .

  Luxury sport sedan for family - 2014 Infiniti Q50
  By w2w2p - November 23 - 12:20 pm

  I purchased my brand new Infiniti Q50 a few weeks ago. Everything about this car is great. Superb performance and quality. I was looking for a luxury sports sedan that can easily fit a child seat + 2 adults (occasionally) in a backseat and has reasonable trunk space. Also looked at C class and BMW 3 series, but they felt too small in that aspect. The main advantage of Infiniti Q50 in this segment is that 37k base car gets you 5.2 sec 0-60 performance. ~330 horses with no turbos, sounds awesome!
