Powerful, Beautiful, Comfortable & Capable

My last 9 years were spent with an Acura TSX 2008 sedan and a 2012 Sportwagon. Both vehicles are competent, high quality if a little boring. When trading in my 2008 sedan I had my sights set on a 2014 BMW 328 xi. I drove the 328xi and it was a great driving car. It didn't thrill me like I had anticipated it would. Parked next to it on the lot was a 2014 Graphite Shadow Q50 Premium with the 19" wheel package, AWD, proper rack & pinion steering and no big brother gizmos. The previous owner also ditched the run flats for a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's. IMHO this is the "right" mix of options. I took this car for a ride and it flat out blew me away. Acceleration with the 328HP V6 is effortless . No replacement for displacement. Plus the full throated dual exhaust note is music. The 7 speed auto tranny was perfect and the manual shift option combined with "sport mode" and AWD plants the car and your rear end firmly as you fly past 60 MPH at a tick over 5 seconds to a high 13 second 1/4 mile. That is impressive. The lines are beautiful, flowing and muscular. The grill and front end adds the right amount of "mean" to the appearance. How you option this car will really define your experience. While I'm the second owner of this car, the previous owner was a person who clearly enjoyed driving and ticked all the right check boxes when ordering this car new. I look forward to driving this fantastic vehicle for many years to come. It's as close to perfect as I have ever experienced in my 30 + years behind the wheel. Gripe about the naming scheme and the computer as much as you want (I've had no issues by the way), they really have no bearing on the driving experience. As a used vehicle, the Q50 represents a fantastic buy that gives you a lot of performance and style for your money.

Great Car For Your Money

The Infiniti Q50 is a very special car it has the style, the grunt, the performance that you need in a daily driver. I know there are a lot of mixed reviews out there some bad some good but the best advice I can give to you is to buy a car with the things that you want in it and don't get the things that you don't want it, too much tech too big of an engine. Most importantly is the reliability. Buy a Q50 and you will not be disappointed .

Took the time to search and shop, which paid off

After being involved in an accident where my vehicle was declared a total loss, I really did extensive research into my replacement vehicle. It took me 3 weeks to find my replacement, but it was well worth it.

First impression is fantastic

Got a certified 2014 premium for a month. Drives so good. Outstanding power as well as steering. My wife is a learner and she loves the steering too. She agree that the sensitive road feedback makes it easy to keep in the center of a lane. Pro: more powerful than most competitors, steering feel so natural, large dual screens, luxury soft touch interior. Con: interior quality is not as good as Benz or BMW. Some strange noise from hood. Cabin is not so quite as other car with a 40k MSRP. Issues on it as a used: 1. Backup camera is broken when I got it. Repaired under warranty. 2. Trunk support is too light. Every time when I close it, it feels like it's going to punch the ground. 3. Some abnormal noise coming from AC system regularly. Checked on internet and it's not a bit deal as long as it still works. Will bring it to dealer later.

Best Looking Car I've Ever Owned

This Infiniti is quick, looks very luxurious, feels smooth especially when driving fast, music volume goes up when speeding so it reduces the noise and the best part about this car is that it is AWD and can drive in the snow like a Beast !

Very Sporty and well appointed sport sedan

Recently bought a very nice used Q50 Premium loaded with tech, deluxe touring and leather package. Very nice riding car , much roomier than a G37 that we were considering. Drive one , you'll buy one. Shop around there's some really good off-lease deals out there

LOVING MY CAR!!!

I purchased an Infinite Q50 from Sanford Infinite and I couldn't be more happier. The car is everything! My salesperson, Greg L. was absolutely AMAZING. His personality was superb, he made my boyfriend and I feel very comfortable, he had the car and paperwork ready, he showed us other cars, he was just amazing. Also, the financing manager, Steve was great and funny. I recommend Sanford Infinite but make sure you ask for Greg L.

Comfort and power

This car has the comfort and power that anyone can ask for. I believe the interior could be better. That is, the upholstery should match and be black altogether. Infiniti should take note from Lexus.
