1994 Infiniti Q45 review from North America
"Not that great of a car... just really fast!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car 6 years old from a wealthy older lady who had 4 cars. I paid $10,000 cash and my parents paid $10,000 cash. The car is okay... I drove a 1992 INFINITI G20...a BIG difference in power!!
I now need a transmission...$2500-$3500.
Struts have been replaced TWICE ($840 for 2 front struts, not including labor ($400) ) So That's about $2500 total!!
My driver side door has triggered the alarm several times before.
My trunk release button (located on driver door) doesn't respond anymore... I have to use the key... which is a pain if you're at the golf course!!
The tuneups are like $800 at the dealership (I ONLY get service there). Which is a little more than a Mercedes.
NO CUPHOLDERS!!!
I'm about to sell it for a Mercedes S500.
General comments?
The car is quick (well before the transmission gave out. However I can still drive the car... but the RPM gauge does not exceed past 3.5).
The handling is over rated... not as good as I'd like it to be...
I'm 6'2...and I've ridden in the backseat... and that's very uncomfortable...
I would own another Q45...just because of the power!!
