  • Incredibly fun to drive - 2015 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    I have owned my new Q50 for a couple of months now and Im certainly glad I made the purchase. It is incredibly fun to drive and actually wished I had a longer commute to work. Although a little jerky around town because of the 330 horses that push it along, the highway ride is a treat. It looks awesome in and out, however the most impressive attribute is the alertness of the engine and the comfort that is next to none. I would strongly suggest checking this car out and place it above the Mercedes C and the Bemmer 3 series.

  • Disappointed - 2015 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    I purchased the Q50 over the BMW because I could get a V-6 for the same price as the the BMW 4-Cyl. turbo. Acceleration is fun but the car does not grip the road like a BMW. The handling is squirrelly Also, the Q50 makes a bizarre ping sound when backing out of a parking space. Ive brought into the dealer 6 times and they could not fix it. They even replaced the steeiring column. Also, the only place to put your phone is in the center console and the the center console is too small for my iPhone 6+. Its a love / hate relationship with my Q50.

  • Overlooked Option - 2015 Infiniti Q50

    This car was panned pretty heavily when it came out in 14. There were some first generation issues that for the most part have been fixed. Great highway ride. Not a fan of run-flat tires - probably my only gripe. Steering system is awesome. There were a lot of critics of the wireless steering in terms of feel. You would have to test it yourself to see but personally I like it. Long drives dont wear on you. Cross winds dont impact your driving line. Bumps/potholes dont jar the steering wheel. And the power the hybrid delivers is impressive. Not to mention pretty good mpg as well. Add in a nice audio system and all-wheel drive and you have a great ride.

  • a ghost in my car !!! (2) - 2015 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    I bought the Q50 hybrid last year. I have only 5000 miles after one year. last month, I rode the car to go to a medical appointment. I was at 60mph when the car started to go on the right by itself and started to brake multiple times creating a bumpy ride. it was a nightmare. I called the dealer and brought the car there. They called the next monday to tell me that they uploaded the new version of the software and it was fixed....I am scared now no matter what. New Update Dec 2nd 2016: althought I had a ghost in my car, it is now fixed by the magic of the reprogramming. The car is nice, good handling, good performance and especially good gas consumption (26~27mpg on the road, 32mpg in the highway). new update June 2017: no more issue. good car with good acceleration and great comfort.

    I love my new infinity! The Q50, is smooth and is slightly larger than the g35 sport? I highly recommend this car!

  • Surprised how much I like it. - 2015 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    My wifes Lexus IS250AWD just came to end of lease and in shopping around we stumbled almost by accident into the Infiniti dealer. After talking about the different models we test drove the Q50 and QX50. Very surprised by the Q50 3.7L. I wasnt expecting such a throaty warble from the engine, tight, direct steering and well equipped interior for the price. We have had it only about a month but, very nice.

  • Beware of intrusive and unpredictable systems!! - 2015 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    Loved the vehicle when I purchased it brand new and loaded with every option. Sporadic, intrusive, and dangerous behavior by the "smart" safety systems and Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) has made me afraid to drive the vehicle. I wont put my family in it. The dealership and Infiniti blame all trouble on a EZ Pass transponder being placed too much in front of the camera on the windshield. Research thoroughly before purchasing this vehicle. Im not the only one with problems.
