2002 Infiniti Q45 Review: Affordable Luxury
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- Reviewing my 2002 Infiniti Q45, much more bang for buck than your boring old Lexus LS 430! I kid I kid! With the Q's smooth ride and bright, airy interior this car is a real pleasure to drive. Just keep an eye on your speed because it can get away from you very easily.
This car was Infiniti's flagship car in 2002 and originally cost about 60,000 dollars. At the time of this video you can find a nice example for around 5000. - Авто та транспорт
The fact that it comes with a backup camera in 2002? That's beautiful
2001 (2002 model) actually, before Mercedes, Audi, Acura, or even Ferrari or Maserati, they did it again with the "Around View Monitor" (360° camera)
Infiniti are GAS! My guy no matter what ppl say these cars kill damn near anything on the road in all categories facts.
@@kingaza7734 old Infiniti’s yes
@@jesserdo9963 I'd say infiniti officially lost their appeal in 2015 because the q40 was at least identicle to the g37, which was the remaining essence of Infiniti's most popular appeals. The infinitis from 89 til death of g37 was the end before its uniqueness (charm) was faded away.
@@TheKeithriff16 yeah their lineup now is crap nothing very good compared to other brands
This car is soo underrated. I asked Doug DeMuro to get his hands on one and review it. I love these! Total V8 sleeper! I hate Infiniti stop making them. These were light years ahead of their time!
Yes I agree, super underrated! Haha I don't think Doug would be impressed though considering all the luxury cars he gets to drive.
philberto78 no comments on the massive front brake pad wear?
@@sinosoul First time I've heard of this, how many miles do the front brakes usually last?
Wayyy ahead of its time. And I love that
Gio S6
Definitely ahead of there time.
I have a 2002 Q45 premium and the aceleration is awesome. 340 HP is no joke.
Nice to see another owner! The hp sure isn't a joke! Also the Q45 engine is so smooth and quiet as it accelerates...true luxury!
Just acquired a 2005 in black. What a vehicle The definition of a Q-car!
Congrats! You're gonna love it I'm sure!
GOOD FOR YOU!
The Q45 is called the Nissan Cima in Japan which is the flagship sedan of Nissan since here in Japan we don't have Infiniti but these cars I see them sometimes around here but I never knew they sell the Cima in North America! Thanks for sharing enjoy your car.
Yes we were lucky enough to get all three generations of the Q45/Cima here in the US. I'm glad they are still driving around in Japan, I still see the older ones around sometimes here too. Thanks for watching my video!
I have a 2003 version of this car and it's a dreamy ride on the highway. It's pretty fast, and composed and it's a sophisticated car considering how old it is. It's a terrific car for the money if you drive long distances and want your back not to hurt. The heated seats are terrific for your lower back and lumbar support. It soaks up the miles and remains very composed. It has good road hugging weight. The only issue is the cost of parts if you need them. Very nice car that is essentially a Japanese Limo.
Yours is in immaculate condition for the year! I must say it is a beauty! And you won't have any issues I know I have a friend they have the 1997 with 240,XXX miles and STILL runs quiet and smooth as ever!
The 1997 was more reliable than the 2002.
As_i_c_it what ab 04? Same as 02?
@@marcoe640 Yes exactly the same. The refresh was 2005 and 2006. Then it was discontinued in the states.
I own a 03 Infiniti Q45,and I love it.Yes,the used ones are not expensive,but the parts are quite expensive at the dealership.Thank God for Ebay,where the used parts can be found.
Nice to hear you're enjoying yours as well! Oh yeah the dealers just rape their customers, I avoid going there unless there's no other option.
Love me some 2000's Infiniti's. Had the 2004 M45 and FX35 at the same time. Loved them both. This is the 4.5L 340HP 333FtLbs. such a great car. I just picked up a 2004 M45 in black in 2022. She is a survivor and in amazing shape!
You lucked out similar to how I did! Finding survivor cars is more and more rare these days I think. M45s are very nice cars, hope you enjoy it!
Back then, The last generation Infiniti Q45 (2006) was the most advanced and most powerful fullsize sedan in its class, no doubt.....even in stock form:
-Q45..................4.5L DOHC V8 350HP
-LS430.................4.3L VVTi V8 300hp
-Acura RL...........3.5L VTEC V6 290hp
-M-Benz S500..............5.0L V8 309hp
-BMW 745i.....................4.5L V8 298hp
-Audi A8........................4.2L V8 300hp
-Jag XJ8.......................4.2L V8 300hp
And yet.......even in it's home market Japan (as a Nissan version). It still stood above the rest from its contemporaries:
(F-segment):
-NISSAN PRESIDENT...............340HP
-Toyota Century..........................290hp
-Mitsubishi Dignity.....................280hp
(E-segment):
-NISSAN CIMA........................325hp
-Toyota Crown.........................290hp
-Honda Legend........................280hp
-Mitsubishi Debonair...............276hp
Thats an amazing car i have 2005 q45 in immaculate condition damn she took off like plane true v8 sleeper im amaze there are very few videos made on it. Great review though!
Thanks I'm glad you liked it! Yes total v8 sleeper haha
The battery is only covered by one plastic clip and something that slides to the right or left. It is a very easy motor to work on long as you know what you're doing. Hence an owner of a 2002 Q45 since 2017
Oh my gosh! 4:50 that was total bliss to my ears 🤩
Thank you! This was very informative
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
Beautiful ride!
This car is everything what an Infiniti must be.....too bad they discontinued it after 2006
It could have been much more better now if only it's still present in their current lineup (albeit, as a new Q90 flagship, sort of. To slot above the Q70)
Miss this baby much
Great video sir! Well said
Great car with a beautiful sounding and lusty V8.
I had the same car... one of the best car ever made!
Yes definitely!
I have a 2003 Q45 Premium trim--love the heated and cooled seats. I've test-driven two 2004 Lexus 430s and I was surprised they felt inferior to the Q45. My car just feels a bit bigger, higher quality and more powerful. You mentioned the shocks--I had my front suspension replaced at the dealer and new actuators were not available. But they were able to just use the old ones. As for oil consumption, yes, I've had my car for 6 years and it does consume a quart every 3,000 miles. But it's a smooth and powerful engine. Acceleration is excellent not only from start but also in the mid range or indeed from any speed.
Oh wow yours has cooled seats as well? Mine just has heated seats. Interesting to know that the Lexus 430s you drove felt worse, most everyone I see just raves about them!
@@philberto78 The engines were perfect on those 430's but one had a rear suspension issue and the other was out of alignment, 101K and 122K miles. I expected a quiet cabin and almost complete road isolation but found that was not the case.
Its an amazing car I also love the QX4
Yahright........the QX4 was even the most powerful luxury SUV around that time this Infiniti Q45 was launched (back since 2000):
-QX4..................3.5L V6 "250HP"
-LX470...............4.7L V8 235hp
-Acura SLX........3.5L V6 218hp
I'm much more of a Lexus guy, currently drive a white on red 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport, but I've always loved these Q45's & like the styling better than the Lexus LS at the time & it had a lot more horsepower as well. It still looks great after nearly 20 years both outside & inside. Was sad when they were discontinued.
I like the styling Lexus has been doing with their newer cars a lot, especially that LC500! The old Lexus LS had more tech I think than the Q45, but yeah I agree the Q45 looks better. With the state that Infiniti is in these days we probably won't ever see another car that really competes with Lexus sadly.
@@philberto78 Yea, I heard that they may go bankrupt in the next couple of years along with Nissan. They haven't had much success since the G35/37. I've driven a 2009 G37 & is an amazing car.
Make another vedio for your q45 I enjoy watching thank. You brother
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed watching friend!
A dude i know had a pearl white one like this his was super clean like yours since i am a HUGE INFINITI & Nissan fan i might buy one of these one day i think i may want a white one also
You won't be disappointed, I hope you can find a nice one!
Rare as hen's teeth at this age and if they re cared for
I bought one if those old ls430 bc i couldn't find any of these available in decent enough condition. But I also bought the ls430 ultra luxury edition that is far from boring. Absolutely love these older infinit's. Next car I get for my daily is going to be that 1st gen m45. Basically the same quirky car that is highly underrated. Just watch the oil in those vk45 engines.
The tech in the Lexus ls430 was actually pretty nice, I just said they're boring to take a little jab at the Lexus fanboys haha. Yeah the older Infinitis stood out a lot more than the newer ones do for sure. Hope you can find a nice M45 before they start to disappear, many of these old luxury cars get bought and trashed for some reason.
A very nice car, my wife & I love the Infiniti cars as well, we just looked at them to buy for my wife but ended up with a new Nissan Maxima instead which is actually made by Infiniti at their plant in Tennessee.
Thanks Dean, and sorry I never saw your comment until today. Yes I've always liked the Maximas since I was a salesman for Nissan in 1998. I remember back then Nissan was actually just re-badging them for the Infiniti brand since they were so nice. I didn't know the new ones were made at the Infiniti plant. Do they share the same platform as another Infiniti car still?
@@philberto78 Not sure if the platform is the same but the manufactured quality & materials are from Infinity's plant back East.
vinniecorleone62 These cars are all NISSAN. NISSAN MAKES INFINITI. What use to be Datsun back in the old days before they decided to change their name to Nissan because they (Datsun) had joined up with a couple other manufacturers in Japan and formed a new company (Nissan). In America Nissan uses “Infiniti” as a brand name to house their luxury cars. In Japan and everywhere else in the world, they’re just Nissans. Like example look up the Nissan President.
Beautiful car so awesome
Thanks! I will try to keep it nice and new looking for as long as possible.
Full size spare?!
Fantastic 👍
Nice car brother
I think the 97-01 q was the best looking. I saved a 97 from the junkyard just this week.
Ive had 2 1st gens and was put off by the electronic gremlins of the 3rd gen.
BTW these are a legit 140+ mph car. 1l
Awesome you could save a Q from death! I think each generation looks good in certain ways, the third gen would look the best I think if it wasn't for the front end. Good luck with your new car man!
I had a 2002 Q45 and it was a wonderful car. I traded it for an FX45 after three years because I wanted AWD. I had no issues with it but just wanted a new car. In three years I owned I had absolutely no problems with it and it remains one of my favorite cars of all time. What am I driving today (Feb 2020) - a 2017 Genesis G90 5.0 AWD and just ordered a 2020 Genesis G90 5.0 AWD. I will say if Infiniti ever brought out a full size luxury car again I would definitely give it consideration.
I see you don't like to keep cars for very long haha. Yeah Infiniti just sells one sedan these days I think, maybe they just weren't making any money on the full size anymore. Luckily Hyundai is filling the gap, I do like those new G90s for sure!
@@philberto78 Yes, much to my wife's chagrin, I usually get antsy for a new car after two years. I traded her 2017 MINI Cooper Convertible in on a 2019 Hyundai Kona Ironman Special Edition lasy May. I kept the 2017 G90 because the 2019 was the same car, but when they changed it in 2020 I had to have one. The day they finally got ONE at the dealer I looked and fell in love. Only problem is to get the color exterior and interior I want I have to order it (I did and have a 2 to 3 month wait). The last car I ordered was a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi. Most I impulse buy off the showroom floor. The 2002 Q45 was like that. I went and looked and they had black one with Latte Interior (the same color interior as yours) and I bought it for a very good price since the 2003's were due in about three months. It was a very nice car but I had to drive home from work in a major snowstorm and the RWD scared the s**t out of me. Went to the Infiniti dealer that weekend and bought an FX45 AWD off the showroom floor. That was a fun car too. I liked Infinities, but when the dropped the full size Q I had to go elsewhere. Had a couple of Audi's and a Hyundai Genesis (before it became a separate marque). My dream car is a Bentley Continental GT but my wife put her foot down on that one. I'm retired and it would have take too big a bite of my retirement fund.
@@msticks3672 The same thing happened to my friend's dad actually, he saw the Q45 on the showroom floor and he couldn't resist buying it right then and there. I saw it afterwards in his garage when I was a teenager and fell in love with it. He kept his for a long time luckily so I was able to buy it from him after it became affordable haha. Was your Q just slipping all over the place when you were driving it in the snow?
I really like those Bentley Continentals as well, especially the new ones. I saw Doug Demuro review a new GTC model which was just beautiful. WAY to expensive for me as well though....but the models from 10-15 years ago are getting relatively cheap these days.
@@philberto78 Yes the Q45 on all season tires is not a car I liked to drive in the snow. I had a 28 mile commute and it was white knuckle all the way. So Ii went with AWD on all my future cars that offered it, hence the G90 AWD. As to used Bentleys, I actually looked at a 10 year old Continental GT for $45K. That's not too bad but that W-12 engine is a time bomb and keeping a 10 year old Bentley on the road would break the bank. I'll stick to new cars with warranty. Anyway it's a good excuse to get a new car - right! At least that's what I tell my wife.
@@msticks3672 I definitely like the stability an AWD car provides as well. I have a 2007 Subaru WRX for bad weather and I bought my wife a 2018 Crosstrek. I feel safer with her driving in bad weather with AWD.
Yeah I wouldn't want an older Bentley either, like you say they are just waiting to break. Haha your wife sounds like a very understanding woman!
Apart from those mud flaps, this car is a Beauty!
I wish I had this car! I’m about to retire in a year or perhaps a bit longer, and this car would be perfect for gentle 80’s theme with modern mix to it. Such an underrated car but to me it’s so nice looking. The profile is correct. The brawny looking rear and front light cover is correct. Brawny looks and proven V8!
Congrats on retirement, I hope you can find one of these cars in good condition! They are getting a bit more scarce these days it seems. What is a gentle 80's theme exactly?
@@philberto78 for me the Infiniti’s early 80’s theme means their commitment to their design with original Q45. They wanted to blend nature’s gently curves into their car designs. Back in the 88, most car designs were “boxy” or had jagged lines but Infiniti Q45 broke away from those types of designs and preceding gens. Ever since the more modern Infiniti were built it seems to me they stuck with original themes all started from the 80’s. This includes, smoother angles “derived from nature”, heavy weight of the car, high horsepower, etc...
I always liked Nissan Maxima and original ZX cars, namely 300ZX with pop up lights. I owned two ZX in the past. Great reliability and it had that great profile from all angles. I like the brawny looks of your Q though
@@bruceyung70 Ah I understand, yes I've noticed most infinities seem to have a more rounded style. I like the older cars from Datsun and Nissan as well. I used to have a Datsun 510 a while ago but I preferred the Zs. Those were classics.
80s theme??? This is 00s bubble front
My 2013 m45 was the bomb
nissan makes legends and yet they dont care about ads, lots of people dont know about these
Yes I read that the sales numbers were pretty poor on these cars. Most people probably just wanted a Lexus back then. I can only find a few ads for the Q45 like this one: ua-cam.com/video/MaSdkuBW0e0/v-deo.html
@@philberto78 they were more popular in japan, nissan cima
@12:50 -- Front struts at the dealer 2500.00 for parts/labor. Rear struts 1500.00 parts and labor.
Ouch that's brutal! Hopefully I can find some kind of aftermarket struts when the times comes...
Retail I remember brand new for one was 750 back about 8 years ago when I had to replace one in the front. The electronic part is where they get you. Got one at a boneyard lucky enough I thhink it was 150 or 250
For anyone whos wondering or doesnt know or is confused...
These cars are all NISSAN. NISSAN MAKES INFINITI.

Nice authentic review! Love the big Q although I am biased towards the 2nd Gen anniversary edition. Ist Gen was great too. I just dont see too many of these still running these days? And i typically dont see these engines running over 200,000 miles without issues. I may be wrong since it could be not that many were sold hence the smaller sample size
Thanks glad you liked it! I don't see many Q45s around either these days but I'm not really surprised. I think they only sold around 5000 of the third gen here in the states and since these cars ended up being cheap they ended up being kinda abused too.
@@philberto78 Makes sense. I'm looking at one today. We'll see how it works out 😉
@@carsandallaboutcars2939 Cool best of luck to you
In America Q45 2002-06 / In Japan 2002-10 as the Nissan F50
The lights turn as well they turn so you can see around corners
I got 06 q45 sport its ok but no push start or Bluetooth key like my old M35
Does anyone know how I can make the key fob for this car for cheap ? I lost mine,the dealer is asking for $500. Someone made a Mickey mouse fob for me,it could start the engine,but the remote button to unlock the door won't work.
Dope car
Thanks!
I'm actually moving to Arizona for college this August, and I was wondering if you recommend this car for long distance? I'm coming from Sacramento, and I know you said it's great for highway cruising, but it's comfortable right? I want to do a VIP build for it too haha. Thanks for the vid 🤙
I'd definitely recommend it for long distance, the seats are very comfy. Actually I drove mine here from California as well, got it up to 125mph on one section of highway too haha
Oh nice, a VIP build would be really cool!
@@philberto78 awesome! I have my eyes on one right now, and I'm really thinking of getting it. I'm a lot more convinced now, and I'm think I'm set👍. Appreciate the info, and reply. I'm excited for the VIP stuff haha, and the car itself too. Thanks again, helps a ton 🤞
This car - you can drive all day! The sweetest seats you can imagine- the engine smooth and quiet to listen to the BOSE with CD, TAPE or Radio. My last map update was 2012
There’s a 02 q45 for 1500 near me all it needs are cats should I buy it? I really like this car
That's a steal if it indeed only needs cat replacement! I'm guessing though that it probably needs more 😕
Beautiful man! Hey where’d you get your dash mat ? I can’t seem to find it anywhere although I have seen some on eBay but none specific for the 02 q45. Any info helps.
I ordered it from dashdesigns.com but I can't really recommend it as the quality isn't really all that good.
philberto78 it’ll have to do since my dash is beginning to show wear. Thank you 🙏🏼
@@blancosblockshop2341 No problem, good luck man!
How much
I love mine, I'm on bc coilovers. 14k front 12k rear. I'm doing the 350z manual transmission swap. The gas tank is what takes up the trunk space
Wow I didn't even know they made aftermarket suspension for this car! Sounds very cool. Do the shocks still work with the adjustable suspension switch or do you just have to delete it?
Driving the car with a manual will be completely different, let me know how it goes!
Mine doesn't have that option. I dont have a backup camera or adjustable rear seat. Many companies make coilovers for the q45/cima. The bc coilovers have 26 adjustments built into them. I'm on 18 clicks on the front and 12 clicks on the rear. Making the rears softer. I drift mine so need extra grip in the rear. Collins adapters make the plate to swap to manual transmission. Need to find the pins on the transmission harness to fool the ecu into thinking it's in neutral. Bc coilovers offers extreme low coilovers and spring rates at no extra charge too
In Japan the f50 q45 is a nissan cima. The f50 Nissan president is very similar. With a different hood grille and trunk. The trunk is cool. No license plate indentation because the license plate is integrated into the bumper. It also has a longer thin chrome strip without any writing on it. And big PRESIDENT writing where the license plate would be. The cima / president's have thinner bumpers too. They look really sexy. I've owned a couple generations of the q45's. The jdm y32 is a beautiful car. Usdm was ugly.
@@korosuchimu1479 lol Drifting a big car like this seems crazy but I'm glad you're enjoying the car man! When my shocks die I'll probably look into aftermarket springs and struts as well since I'm sure they'd be cheaper as well.
@@korosuchimu1479 Sounds like you definitely know your stuff! I knew the car was called the Cima in Japan but I don't know about the President. The looks of my car I would say are probably its weakest point but when I drive it I just really admire what Nissan was able to do with build quality and driving experience for the time.
Great car just love it . How has it been now there's been awhile ?? Thank's
I've had no issues with it since I made this video actually, but I've only put around 3000 miles on it since then too. The more I drive it the more I love it.
@@philberto78 Thanks
had 1, great car but parts are expensive and hard to find also engine is unique and lots of shops frown on working on them if it isnt something basic.. it has a quirky cooling system and suspension setup that is very expensive to fix. this car was only made for 3 years and there's no parts support for it.
Put the rear window shades up!!!
Someone is selling one all black with 128k miles on it as my first car to help me get to work and traveling around nyc and the tri state area he’s selling it for 5k he says transmission and alt is in good condition should I make this move?
Hmm...well without ever having seen the car I don't think I can really give you advice on whether or not to purchase it. I will tell you though that with any used car make sure you have several thousand dollars saved up for repairs later.
what percent tint did you get on the windows?
If I remember right I got full tint on the rear windows and half tint on the front windows.
There is 2004 Infiniti q45 130,00 miles clean interior for 5k$ and I want it it’s so cleann
Sounds like you need that car in your life! haha
philberto78 I know ! Really beautiful old car
There might be something wrong with it if it doesn't get off the line in a hurry, these are high performance luxury cars with a top speed of 150 mph so have that transmission looked at quickly!
I probably didn't describe it very well, there's nothing on the transmission that is broken though. Actually it's hard to explain. The car gets off the line just fine if you floor it but if you press the gas in a specific way the car can't make up it's mind if it wants to go slow or fast. It's just a design quirk.
I love mine it’ ride sooo smooth and when I drive everyone asks what kind of Benz is that I lsugh
Nice, I'm glad you have one to enjoy as well! Yeah Infiniti wanted to compete with Mercedes back then so they kinda copied some of the Mercedes style. The reliability is much better though I'm sure!
For sale?
I have always liked this gen Q45. You're lucky that He sold it to You, He keep it in great shape. Do You still have it? I'm thinking about snatching up a used M45 :) BTW i bet You got a good deal..So what did He give it to You for?
Yes I still own it and I will keep it a long time I think, the only thing I've had to do it replace the battery on it. Those M45s look pretty nice too, I hope you find a nice one to buy! What does a nice one go for these days? I paid my friend's dad 5k for the Q which I thought was very fair for its condition.
@@philberto78 When You can find a very clean M45 they're going for 5k-7k i have a beautiful 2009 QX56 4wd that's almost like new but I want a sedan again!
Thanks for video!
What would be a fair price for an immaculate 2005 Q45 accident free, looks like it has 0 miles, it has actually 30,000 miles. Fair price today in 2022? Thanks for any replies from anyone.
That sounds like a rare find for sure! It's tricky to really price these cars as they aren't sold all the time so I'd just say pay whatever you feel comfortable paying. If it's as nice as you say I'm sure it could sell at auction for at least 10k.
@@philberto78 asking price is $16k
Planning on offering 13/14k
Does it have an AUX slot???!??
Unfortunately no, I have to use one of those cassette tape adapters.
I hope Nissan will revive it as a new flagship hybrid fullsize luxury sports sedan, in the form of the all-new Q90, and feature a new engine and more futuristic specs like these:
-new 3.8Twin Turbo V6 450hp (derived and detuned from the GTR) + 100hp electric motor (550HP COMBINED)
-standard AWD and AWS (all wheel steering) system
-10spd automatic with manual mode
-autonomous driving mode system
(And no more current V8s, like the all new Lexus LS500 with Twin Turbo V6, save for the big QX80 luxo SUV instead)
Among those
At least to slot above the Q50 sedan and the Q60 coupe (and be a bigger alternative to the Q50 too)
I'd love to see Infiniti make a really cutting edge new fullsize sedan as well, unfortunately I don't think the company is doing very well these days.
@@philberto78 yup. Like the way they did before.....when their range of cars in every segment are still complete, and have every model in it's class to match whatever it's rivals each have......how we wish this new lineup soon (i know it will be tough for them now, but no one knows):
-Q45 (as new Q90)........to rival S-Class,
7 series, A8, Jag XJ, Genesis G90, Lexus LS, Cadillac CT6, Volvo S90
-new Q70 successor (as new Q80)...........to rival E-Class, 5 series, A6, Jag XF, Genesis G80, Lexus GS, Acura RLX, Cadillac CT5, Volvo S70
-all-new front wheel drive I35 (as newly repositioned Q70)............to rival Lexus ES, Acura TLX, Volvo S60, Cadillac XTS
-Q50.........to be a proper rival to the C-Class, 3 series, A4, Jag XE, Genesis G70, Acura ILX, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S40
-Q60 coupe..........to rival SL-Class, 6 series coupe, A5, Lexus RC, Jag F-Type
Three years later, how is the car been treating you? I'm considering getting one.
I still love it and have had zero issues with it. I honestly don't put that many miles on it though and only drive it maybe once a week.
@@philberto78 That's good to hear. One I am looking at has 50k miles on it! Is this your only car? Also I saw your CRT videos, are you a member of The CRT Collective on Facebook?
@@mraiwa1000 Wow only 50K miles? Go for it! No it's actually one of eight cars I own, that's why it doesn't get driven a lot.
Haha no I'm not a member of the CRT Collective, I try and stay off facebook as much as possible to be honest.
80K great miles. I paid $1140.00 for mine with tax.
Wow that is much less than I paid for mine, congrats! I'm always happy to hear these cars are still out there on the road. Hope you're enjoying it friend!
holy shit
Because he's lying 😂
@@Elijah-fc3ex exactly bullshit he paid 1140 wtf
Just one more thing. The truck is small because the fuel tank is right behind that panel in the trunk.
You are correct sir! Haha a few other people pointed that out to me as well after I made the video. Thanks for watching!
How are these cars Reliability wise?
Generally pretty good I'd say, but that said they are almost 20 years old now so it just depends on how well each car has been taken care of. I've heard people mention having electronic issues more than mechanical.
Unless you've driven one---- you'll never know how awesome this car is. Mine still looks awesome. 2002 w/66K miles on it- By the way- there is Nothing wrong with your transmission- this is not drive by wire- its ALL electronic so unless there is a little attack on the gas pedal it wont take off like you think. Unless you sit in the front seat the seat will not move up. There is a boat load of rear seat space.
Very nice, your car has even fewer miles on it than mine! Hope you enjoy it for years to come. Maybe I didn't describe the automatic transmission very well, I didn't think there was something wrong with it. I'm sure it behaved like that from the factory as the original owners told me it behaved a little oddly as well. That being said it works better than any other automatic from Nissan I've driven haha
Its a4.5 litre engine, there also hid headlights not led $6 for a new bulb not $500.
I have an 07 M45, Maybe I'll trade for one of these though
I've never driven an M45 but I've heard they're very nice as well...same engine as the Q45 but more sporty.
@@philberto78 Pretty much!
Still my favorite car so sad for Infiniti
Yes they've lost their way as of late, sad indeed.
In heard 5.3 from 0-60
Yeah I got 02 v8 she flys
Cool! I used to see more driving around but it's been a while now since I've seen another one.
Obviously the people who disliked this video are Lexus fans haha!
NO!!! I’m a huge Lexus fan I have 5 Lexus in my family lol but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Infiniti especially these lesser known luxury sedans. I FLIPPING love these old Infiniti’s and Acura’s. Legends and M45s and Q45s especially. Big thumbs up haha don’t hate on us Lexus people lol
@@805NAVE Haha Lexus fans are good folks I just like to joke with you guys some ;)
Oh by the way, it is 4.5L V8
You are correct sir! It just slipped my mind as I was filming.
@@philberto78 no worries. Thank you for the review! You gave me a reason to show this car so much appreciation
@@KidJaeProductions Haha and thanks for watching! I'm happy people still enjoy this car even though it's from 2002.
Do you still have the car? If so I have a few parts I will donate to you.
What parts u have bro
U can donate me
I have same
Big facts i need a new mass air flow boot...
i need the Left mirror piece. the detailers broke the mechanism so when I place in R and the mirror tilts, it cant return automatically. The Rear shade also warped> I need to replace that
Otherwise this car of mine is MINT
@@johnanthony6191 dont have any body parts.
Ohhh the replacement keys are $250
It is not a hard car to work on put the covers back on it looks much better with the covers
I ended up putting the engine cover back on after I made this video but I still left the battery cover off so I can leave a battery tender connected to it. I don't know about yours but if I don't drive my Q for a few weeks the battery gets drained.
I have the 2002 Q45 mine is at 91,000 I'm trying my hardest not to drive so much
Keeping the mileage low is nice for sure, I just drive mine once a week or so. I hope to still have the car looking and driving nice ten years from now.
@@philberto78 I agree unfortunately I have to drive my car everyday with life and all but I do love it... The engine is still running strong I am always making sure its fluid is proplerly maintained
@@anthonymendez9334 That's great! As long as you're taking care of it I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy it for years to come my friend!
Looks like an Altima
I hated that bug-eyed front-end.
It’s indeed one of the car’s most controversial aspects. I kinda wish they’d styled it differently too.
@@philberto78: Definitely! They toned-it-down with the M’s styling. I’ve owned several Infinitis; ‘91 G20, ‘02 I35, and currently a ‘09 M35x with the Premium Package. Decent cars indeed. The only other car I’ve owned was a ‘93 Acura Legend L.
@@tonysteel1377 Those are some nice cars! I like the older Acuras too.
@@philberto78: Yes sir, they were sweet.
