Detailed review: |
The 'European' sports sedan feel that Infiniti is noted for (vs. the 'Cadillac' feel of the Lexus) took a beating on the new Q45 because of a very noticable hesitation problem, a real shame in a car with 340hp!! Fortunately, Infiniti has a factory fix for this (new gas pedal and electronics), but so far you have to ask for it to get it.
The car performs exceptionally well after the 'fix', and remains the best value in a luxury sport sedan. The Bose radio finally lives up to expectations--they added a whoofer in the back. AC in the seats would be a nice add-on, but isn't available. |
