"It was with great enthusiasm that I bought my gently pre-owned 2005 Q45, the car was a one owner 2 1/2 year old beauty with low miles and what seemed like every conceivable feature. Within weeks I knew that I had made a horrible decision. In the first 6 months of ownership the car was in the Infiniti dealership 11 times for a total of 35 days. Luckily it was still under warranty as I was given copies of the repair receipts that showed manufacturer repairs exceeding $10,000. Besides the issues that arose, it was clear that Infiniti had rushed this car into production and that even 4 model years into the manufacturing process that many of the "bugs" had yet to be worked out. Even simple functional items like the rear doors having a 5 second delay to unlock (really irritating in the rain), the nav screen going blank until the car was restarted, the heated/cooled seats never were able to be fixed plus a nonresponsive auto-shifter and a loud brake noise that the dealer was never able to repair. Of the dozens of cars that I have owned this was the most expensive and the second worst in reliability or quality (The first being my 1994 Chrysler LHS). I owned a number of Nissans back in the 80's and early 90's and found them to be amazing cars and I actually would have traded my 05 Q45 for my 1989 Nissan Maxima. I try to never say never, but it is unlikely that I would be able to bring myself to buy another Nissan/Infiniti. For my friends that were considering it, I suggested that they go and sit in an Infiniti Service Center and talk to other owners before buying."

"After owning Audis and BMWs for years I decided to test drive the Japanese competition. The Infiniti impressed me not only with its full complement of amenities but also the intangible pleasure-to-drive feeling that one becomes accustomed to in a German car. I did not like the Lexus LS430 at all, it felt cold and impersonal, the Acura RL was very nice but lacked the high end extras of the Infiniti or Lexus. Just for kicks I test drove the Lincoln MKZ and Cadillac STS both of which were fine automobiles but felt cheap and unfinished compared to the Audi or Infiniti. I have had my car awhile now and love it just as much as when I drove it home for the first time..."
