1995 Infiniti Q45 review from North America

Nothing has major gone wrong with the Q45 since I fist purchased it back in 1995 except:

The automatic radio antenna stopped working and had to be replaced.

The computer information display read "brake pads worn" even after they have been replaced.

The plastic sunroof buttons broke and had to be replaced.

The vanity mirror's cover broke on each side, blowing the bulbs.

The leather steering wheel cover began to peel; it was covered with an aftermarket steering wheel cover.

This car upstages my 1993 LS400 in almost every aspect. When I bought the LS in 1993 I was sure I would never find a better vehicle that offered the power, luxury, safety, and style at an affordable price. The Q45 is highly underrated. I don't understand why the Q45 stands in the shadow's of cars like the LS400, Mercedes S-Class, and BMW 7 Series. Today I still get questions about the make and model of the car. The Q45 is roomy on the inside and it holds my family quite comfortably. It performs like a much smaller sports coupe, acceleration is exceptional for such a large car. But all of this performance does has a cost. The gas mileage isn't the best and the car requires premium fuel. Another cost for the performance is the trunk which is rather small. But its worth it when passing all those slower luxury cars in the right lane. All in all I would rather drive the Q45 than any of the other more expensive luxury/performance sedans. Because it has a somewhat low resale value it is ideal for the family on a budget.
