2019 INFINITI Q70L

Beautiful car, excellent fit and finish, reliable

Monday, February 12, 2018

I own a Q70L and have owned BMW and Acuras in the past. The Q70L is the favorite car I have owned for the following reasons: 1. The interior is very well designed and comfortable. The leather quality is top notch at this price point. One would have to get a 7 series or LS to get this level of interior quality. 2. The Bose audio system with active noise cancellation and the understated but well-implemented tech package. I 3. The naturally aspirated V6 is very responsive and for a car, his size accelerates well and the active trace control makes cornering fun. I test drove the Audi A7 3.0T as well as the Jaguar XJ 3.0 AWD and found the Q70 3.7 more fun to drive. 4. Super reliable and my dealer experience so far has been great. Honestly, some reviewers have pointed out the lack of rear seat controls but makes no difference to me. You get rear seat heating and plenty of leg room. The rear seats are very comfortable. What else do you need? I spent 2 months researching and driving competing cars before selecting the Q70. Here is what I drove: BMW 540xi Audi A7 3.0T Jaguar XJ 3.0 AWD Volvo S90

Very wise investment w/out over-spending!

*Preliminary disclosure... If you have experienced jarring / erratic steering with this vehicle and still have the factory tires, consider upgrading to correct the issue! See review below. Thank you for reading in advance... I purchased the Infiniti Q70L, specifically choosing the long wheel base edition, as this would be an ideal vehicle for my real estate business, and it has been a great vehicle. Originally I was very concerned / displeased with the ride quality and the steering was very unpredictable, and even erratic, leaving me with the urge to abruptly trade the vehicle back in since the dealership kept telling me nothing was wrong with the vehicle. I'm happy I didn't though, and went with my instincts that I personally believed it to be the direct fault of the tires. Once I upgraded to the Pirelli all-seasons the entire ride quality improved 100%. The vehicle now performs with a combination of grace, and spirited movement. It's confident in handling, and has easy-to-reach controls (take a short time to get use to their setting placements). There's plenty of room, and the fuel consumption is "fair". It's a great road trip vehicle, and one of the lowest costs of ownership (over an extended period of time) compared to any other luxury vehicle I have owned and / or priced. I really don't have any "complaints", just comments I would have the manufacturer consider prior to the next remodel: Placement of heated steering button is oddly low on dash, fold down rear seats instead of a pass-through feature, slightly improved gas mileage, and updated technology (specifically the navigation screen) for the price. Aside from the screen, the vehicle is flooded with a vast amount of wonderful technology. Hope this review helped some!

Owner since 2016, in general is very good. Only had 3 issues during my ownership. One is related to the suspension, but a minor part, cost 200. Then the right hand side heating stopped working, but cost over 1000 to diagnose according to the service bulletin, which is pretty expensive because this is only for them to start the job, not fixing the problem. Then my Y pipe is very rusted because of the Canadian winter, i had to replace it. Overall it has been very reliable, sporty, luxury interior design. I like the interior design very much. One thing I don't like this car is that the suspension tuning is between sporty and comfortable, which is kind bothering me, because the oem tire yokohama tire is too firm, very bumpy. But I use my winter tires, it is much more comfortable. I really like the car.
