A great car for the price.
Nice looking car with all of the extras. Gets good gas mileage and drives very smoothly. Oil changes only every 10K, so low maintenance costs

Amazingly beautiful Infiniti.
My car is super comfortable, there is adequate room for passengers. Has not mileage is good. Speed is awesome. The car is really quiet and drives smoothly. It does not make any loud noises when driving. The color is amazing. I love all the luxury features on the car. Sunroof, navigation, heated seats.

Infiniti 2017 QX50 is a zippy car
Fun to drive, powerful engine. Downside--low miles per gallon. My golf bag fits well in the cargo area.

Fun ride, comfortable and roomy, user-friendly features.
Fun ride, amazing navigation, roomy and comfortable for all my precious cargo passengers. Excellent gas mileage, never had any service issues. Features are very user friendly. The alerts tell you exactly when service is due, when oil change is due, if your tire is low in pressure. Music options are great, you can use Bluetooth to connect to your phone for playlists.

It has 5 different ways you can drive the car.
This is car is seriously a dream car. I have had it for 2 years and have never had a problem with it. The only service I have had to do is oil change and tire rotation. It is gas mileage is amazing. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a fast sporty car.

One thing others should know is the vehicle has great handling.
The car has great handling. It is beautifully designed. It is fun to drive. There is nothing I dislike about the vehicle.
accountCircle Victoria C
The vehicle has run flat tires which makes you be able to drive a little further.
My car’s performance is excellent! It runs smooth, drives quietly, catches up to speed quickly as well as slows down quickly. It is all wheel drive which is nice because I live in the northern part of the United States. It is comfortable, very spacious inside but does not feel spacious as you drive. The dual screens in the front is a plus, as well as Bluetooth/hands free while driving.
accountCircle Tommy L
The transmission is a little iffy. Other then that the car is great.
It's a luxury vehicle with leather seats. Has a 3.0t engine in it. It is a very fast vehicle. It is a beautiful vehicle.

Negative Owner Reviews

Great pick up and a beautiful color.
Does not have the bells and whistles like other cars. I feel I paid for the brand. My phone will not hook up to the radio. I cannot adjust the driver side seat to not hit the tendon under my knee. Painful to drive long distances. My mom who has a short hair can get in and out of the car easier than most. People complete the maroon sparkle color. The car has great pickup and it rides at 90 mph quickly if not paying attention on the highway. Recommend to use cruise control.

Infiniti Q50 Review: An Average Vehicle for an Above Average Price
The Infiniti Q50 is a nice car, but the options, fuel economy, and maintenance cost do not justify the sticker price.
accountCircle Clara L
Q50 - a good intro luxury vehicle but could use more refine details.
Very smooth ride and I enjoy the design of the vehicle (very sleek and modern looking). I also enjoy the handling of the car - very smooth but also feels nimble and light. The overall performance is good. I had issues with the media center (the Bluetooth would disconnect often and it would take a complete reset to fix it). I also thought the back seats were way too tight for normal adults (and way too small for tall adults). The seats were also very firm and uncomfortable.
accountCircle Jeff T
Infiniti Q50 signature edition is a great performance car.
The good: signature edition 3. It is a great performance car, transmission is awesome, good on gas mileage, good navigational system. The bad is no heated seats or memory seats, no space for personal items and less interior features than an Honda Accord E-XL.

2017 Infiniti Q50 review from the driver
Electronics are not the best on the vehicle, the backup camera stays on while driving or the screen stays black the whole time. It also sometimes doesn't sync with my phone. The breaks are also bad, had to be changed around 20,000 miles and the paint is cheap
accountCircle Elliot D
Size limited storage space. Safety features must be better.
Infiniti has small trunk space. Car performs satisfactory while driving. Car does not have safety features such as when you are too close to anything in front or on side of vehicles. When your car is backing out and a vehicle is near to it, it does not sound alarm.
accountCircle dianne p
Overall reliable car. Smooth ride. Good turning radius.
Dashboard monitor is set too far back and cannot see well in sunlight. Also doors do not stay open and come back to hit you. Car is comfortable and I love the look.

I love It's classy sporty look.
The car is amazing the only flaw that I have found is that the drivers side ac blows hot air. I read that a lot of people have this problem but is an easy fix. I will totally buy a new one of these in a couple years. The car is black with silver trim and very tinted windows. The design of the car looks very sporty. The car is also very fun to drive in sport mode.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled John L.

The pros of the 2017 Infiniti 3.0T Premium are: Good design, quick acceleration, attractive exterior, spacious interior, ample space in the trunk, good sound system, leather interior, and good handling.

likeFilled Ferran C.

The design of the vehicle is very nice. The interior is nice as well. It is also a smooth drive which I love. The floor mats are very easy to clean and just the interior overall being that I am always transporting my boyfriend's little siblings that love making a mess.

likeFilled John L.

The pro of the 2017 Infiniti q50 3.0t premium are the following: stylish design. Good handling. Good acceleration. Quality craftsmanship. Well design interior. Exceptional exterior. Wheel package stood out better than most.

likeFilled Shelbi S.

I love the amount of space and how quiet it is while driving. I have every option I was looking for. Seat heaters, sunroof, navigation, Bluetooth and etc. It is sporty but still luxury and the payments are affordable.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled John L.

There are no cons of the vehicle or I cannot think of any at this moment. I like the car the way it is. The dealer is rather far to do maintain every time. It is rather time consuming to drive 30 miles to have the car maintain.

dislikeFilled Ferran C.

The gas is a little expensive and the gas runs out fairly quick. Every once in a while, I experience technical issues with the monitor. What would happen is that the monitor will be frozen and I would have to cut the car off and cut it back on for it to work again. Another thing that I have experienced is that the screen will just go black and will not come on for the whole day.

dislikeFilled John L.

There are really no cons to the vehicle. For the Infiniti q50 3.0t premium, trunk space could be bigger but it would ruin the look of the car. Gas efficiency could be much better but with that much horsepower, it is kind of hard.

dislikeFilled Shelbi S.

There's really nothing I do not like about it. Everything functions correctly and haven't had any issues as far as mechanical go. Easy to maintain and no more experience than my previous car. I love everything about it.

We bought this cat through promotion and this price was absolutely suitable., but regular price is a little high. Should be lower.

The Infiniti Q50 starts at like $36,000 for the base 2.0T engine model. I do not recommend the base model.
