  • Discomfort Drivers Seat - 2017 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    If you are 60" or over the driver seating is very un-comfortable..Drivers who are 60" and over test drive before you buy..

  • Super roomy - 2017 Infiniti Q50

    I saw a review from a person that said if youre over 60 that this vehicle is not comfortable. I am 67 and almost 300lbs..I find it more spacious than most SUVs I have been in. Super comfortable in my opinion

  • Beware!!! - 2017 Infiniti Q50

    Bought a new 2018 Red sport. Two days after purchase the lower touch screen malfunctions. Took it back to the dealer and was told I NEED A new DCU (the lower screen). I was told it would take 5 days. On the 8th day I had to call to find out whats going on and was told the part is on back order for a month. As of today the month has come and gone and still no car and no idea when I would get it back. Inifiniti customer care has to be the worst in history. I have been lied to and my calls have gone unanswered. They tell me dates, then when the date passes I have to call and then im told another date with no explanation as to why the change. Ive searched the internet and found that the DCU is an on going issue for infiniti since 2014 so they know about it, but when I originally asked if this is something that happens alot, I was told no. This has been my worst purchase ever. The look , power and handling of the car is fantastic but the unreliability of the electronics and the terrible customer service makes this a bad buy. I gave up a reliable Lexus I had for 11 years for this car and it broke in 2 days. This is my first and last Infiniti. After I get it back i need to find a way to get out of it before anything else happens"

    Ive had the car for about 2 months. My previous car was a G37 IPL, so I will mostly compare this to that and the other two cars I cross shopped this with, the BMW 440iGC/340i and Lexus GS350 F Sport. Its definitely faster than the IPL, but it doesnt feel as sporty. I cant figure out why, but Ive narrowed it down to either the tires being different or because the IPL had a LSD. It just doesnt feel that great in the corners. The acceleration is really good, though. I mainly drive on the highway and its really useful for when you have to speed up to change lanes. From what Ive read, the 400HP ranking is actually underrated. But still, I actually preferred the cars I was comparing this too. I really wanted a Lexus GS, but when it came down to price, there was really no decision at all. They have some insane deals going on. The sticker on mine was $57K. The Lexus and BMW I was looking at were $59K. My monthly lease payment is $250-350 lower with the Infiniti. My payment is actually $50 lower than what it was for my IPL and this has a lot more power and technology. The gas mileage is pretty good too. I get 24mpg in Sport mode and 25 in Normal. One time I was running low on gas, so I took it easy on the pedal and I got up to 30mpg. So in conclusion, the car looks great, handles okay, has a lot of power, interior is comfortable with a good amount of space, has all the new technology, and even gets pretty good gas mileage if you dont mash the peddle. And they usually have really good deals going on, so its great value for the money.

  • Great luxury for price - 2017 Infiniti Q50

    Compared to other luxury brands you can’t beat the price.

    Great car overall. Steering needs a little getting used to. As quoted by Infiniti "A World’s First Technology, INFINITI’s Direct Adaptive Steering® (DAS) removes the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires". Fun to drive and the 3.0t engine definitely provides more than enough power.

  • Based on specs, this is a great car, but... - 2017 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    It looks impressive in specs. Engine is excellent, it makes me doubt that it only has 300HP, feels more potent, perhaps the high torque at low RPMs is a big help. The major issue with this car is that Infiniti completely screwed up steering and to add insult to injury installed awful run flat tires (2.5 starts on TireRack). I changed the tires at 6K miles, first time in my life before tires wore out. The steering does not seem to have a center, the car goes left and right whenever it feels like on the highway, even if the steering wheel is not moving. In-spite of the engine and good interior, not a bad looking exterior, Im not enjoying driving this car. Will be trading it in when Genesis G70 becomes available. No more Infinities for me.

  • Q50, Slicing Through the Wind - 2017 Infiniti Q50

    This is a great car. Ive been an owner for about 2 months and I absolutely love the car. Great acceleration, minimal shift shock and dynamic breaking without the dramatic nose dive. When you start the engine it doesnt sound so luxurious, but levels out after the fluids start mixing. Not a problem, but something that you notice. Not much head room unless you lower the seats and a small trunk thats "about" the same as its competitors. I love the Infiniti InTouch system and the ability to utilize your cell phone for many out of car features. Theres power in the pedal. You may want to be a little easy when you use the Sport Mode as it will give you what you asked for. Comes with Run Flat tires and no spare just so you know. Still a great car.

  • Not Fully Satisfied - 2017 Infiniti Q50
    By -

    If you live in a snowy climate, be prepared to have the front and back sensors go off the entire time you are driving because the snow builds up on it. When I called to ask about it, I was told I could either turn the sensors off manually, (and lose the safety feature) or keep getting out of my car to wipe them off. That’s not an option as I drive mainly on highways and will not pull off on an interstate highway and risk getting hit. Not acceptable for the cost of this car. I also put in an after market remote starter which will not work as I was told by the dealer, after I put it in, that the heater, etc will reset to automatic and there’s nothing I can do about it. That should have been told to me when I told the dealer I was putting a remote starter in since they said they couldn’t do it after market at the dealership. The other thing I am struggling with is I do not hear my email tones on my phone or thru the car. I’ve called a number of times and the blue tooth department tells me it’s an in touch problem, and in touch says it’s blue tooth department. Meanwhile, I know it works because I’ve heard it a couple times, but it’s not consistent. So frustrating. I’m hoping someone can help as I have 2-1/2 years left on my lease.
