- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1999 Infiniti Q45t. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
I bought this exact identical car back in 2007 used with 99,000 miles on it for $7500. It was an absolute pleasure to drive. Like a sofa on wheels. I kept it for about 3 years. Never a problem with it at all. Just regular oil changes. Very smooth running and lots of compliments back then. I miss that car a lot. That was back when Nissan/Infiniti vehicles were a true Japanese company! Now they are owned partly by Renault.
I have the exact same car current day. I, as well, purchased mine in 2007, with 76,000 miles. Current mileage, 288,000 miles. The only major repairs throughout ownership are alternator, radiator, front/ back struts, and high-pressure power steering hose. Cosmetically, the exterior looks 80% of new. The interior is only aged by worn front seats.
I have a 2001 with the two suspensions fantastic handling been all over the country with it.engine is the best v8 i have ever had and the transmission is perfectly matched for this motor.24 in the highway and 16 around town .everything is built to last no problems .You cannot beat this car for the money look for a well cared for garaged used one and you will take it a half a million miles
do you have the touring or basic model?
Had the q45 for a year. The car is amazing.
infiniti needs to bring back their flagship car, this used to compete with the lexus ls
Very clean unit. These are bulletproof. A real cruiser and amazing in the snow and fun to drive with the rwd. I just picked up my second one.
is this a good 1st car?
Excellent & rare
you forgot to mention that these are known as Japanese vip rides
Looks like a beautiful car. These were the good years with good build quality before they all started to go downhill. But I would love to pick one of the Cadillac's in the background. Cadillac styling is unmistakable and timeless luxury cars.
i am a fan of the Lexus LS....but i have to admit im just as impressed by this one it looks incredibly well made and luxurious!
I want this car
ZOMG!!! You finally got your hands on this one! Thank you soo much for this awesome tour of such an awesome machine.
My aunt has one but in japan they call it nissan cima. And its way better because it was power rear seatd and gps. Btw its a 1996 model that my aunt has.
Very nice tour...Infiniti's V8 sounds very refined. Although I normally prefer sound of I-6, V-6 or V-12, I would love to hear how it sounds under WOT acceleration. Too bad you can't take the cars for a test drive.
I LOVE my Q45.
The antenna is gorgeous
That vintage of Q45 was one of my favorites!!
My uncle had a 1998 Q45t from November of 1997-2000 and he would always let me drive it when I would visit him. He traded it for a 2001 Mercedes-Benz E430 and has since replaced said Benz with S-Classes which were about the size of this.
The current generation Toyota Camry looks like a shrunken version of this! which makes me consider it...though the Avalon is good too!
Q45 from a e430 that a downgrade
I have a 97 Q45 base, The body styling is gorgeous and it gets looks every once in a while. My only dislikes are fake wood panels, the boring console and gauge cluster. Mine gets around 23 combined gas milage. I don't drive it too often as it has only 58,000 miles. Just need to fix the ABS issue (lol the light is on in this video too) and get the alignment done as it starts wobbling after 50mph.
I love Pre-2003 Infiniti!
Me n you both !
thanks kyle....realy man, thank u. i've been waiting for an old infiniti
awesome Q45/Cima!
I'd love to see some early-mid 2000 Infinitis like the 1st gen M45 or the last Q45 and I35!
i think my fav. part of your videos kyle is the way you enter the car, sit in it and randomly move the cam. left to right. haha
Nice. These are a tough find. Wonder how the ride quality is in comparison to a Lexus.
im looking into buying a car like this and you did a really great job showing this car inside and out so i just wanted to say thank you
yup 2003-2004 m45 is my favorite M and after this is 2nd gen Q.
Great video as always Kyle! What a beautiful luxury car.
wow i love this car
Too bad it has an ABS light on. That's probably an expensive problem to fix. Also, what does the "slip" light mean?
10 MORE VIDEOS KYLE BETTER BE ONE HELL OF A VIDEO
This was a good video as always Kyle, but I cant wait to see your 1000th video. You're so Insanely close. It seems like just yesterday you were at your 600th video. lol
@sideburns2009 Yeah ,but the interior was really nice and features of the j30 were way ahead of its time.
the 1997-2001 Infiniti Q45 was assembled in
Tochigi, Tochigi, Japan
I think this may just be my next car, assuming that I find one in mint condition and with low miles. My other top choice would be a W140 Mercedes-Benz, preferably an S320, and I'd consider some other luxury cars like the 1990-2000 Lexus LS400, 1988-1994 BMW 740i/il, and 2004 and older Acura 3.5RL but this Q45 is one of the most dependable and unique of them all. All I need to do is test drive 'em all but I'm really leaning towards this!
I'd like to add the 1998-2005 Buick Park Avenue to your list, another reliable and luxurious car.
just got a q 45 t ...same color interior and exterior....this car is the best investment i made as far as vechicles...i would recomened it to any of you...
Wow somebody took great care of this one!
just wondering how much would a full tank of gas be (and what octane gas type is required)? I'm looking at this '01 touring
Great review as always, but you left out at least two "shall we?"('s). I was waiting for them in their appropriate place and was disappointed when you didn't say it.
@carducho The smaller engine is also lighter (of course) so it has a better cornering ability.
the engine on the 1997-2001 Infiniti Q45
Engine
4.1 L VH41DE V8
@fdcsm yes. Very reliable
@SergeantSmith2012 it doesn't eat up gas. Not all v8's do
I have a 97 q45t and it is quite different electronically inside
awesome i was just gonna make a request for an older infiniti before i looked at my subscriptions and saw this. keep up the great work, 90s infinitis aren't very abundant and im a big Nissan/Infiniti fan. Also, I went on All City's website and there was a '99 Mercedes E320 listed. Did you do a tour on it, Kyle?
@audax5435 8mpg? Were you flooring it literally everywhere u went?!?
wow it's in a pretty good shape for a 1999 infiniti, in france, good luck for you to find a suitable passat from 2000 ...
can you make a vid of the 2002-2006 infiniti Q45 please? :)
always liked this car....
Was this model supposed to compete with the LS, 7s, and the S class?
Yes it was but due to poor advertising in the beginning, it never did as well as its rivals that you stated.
not poor advertising just an utter piece of junk as are most nissans..
Thank you Penis, very cool!
And the RL
the transmission on the 1997-2001 Infiniti Q45
Transmission
4-speed Semi automatic with manual shift
hey thanx for the review i asked for. i've wanted too see what you think about it
you have to do that quadbike! of course, including a test drive...just kiddin'!
The Genesis is coming to Spain, in both 2.0 turbo and 3.8 engine layout, with awesome price tags! Which one do you recommend for a spin on twisty mountain roads? regards!
Haha great video! should do that Firebird I saw over there.
so Kyle do you have videos stocked up on your computer, and upload them each day?
hey saabkyle, would you recommedn your genesis to me? Cuz i am planning to buy it and want to know how you think it feels as a daily driver?
Thanks, love your vids!
@Soloduude He Drives a Hyundai Genesis Coup , i think its a 3.8 right? , Anywase it's And Awsome Car , And Kyle i have a question Did u ever Drive An Lamborghini lP58 Or something Sorry i forgot the Name It's Like the Red 4x4 u showed on ur vids! Keep it up bro 1000th video comming ! Congratz!
I like the key chime, it's not loud and annoying like some cars
This car is just amazing, like a clone of a Mercedes, BMW, or Lexus, too bad they don't continue this today.
Chime sounds nothing like a Nissan/Infiniti. But i love it
Remember Consumer Guide said this was a competent but not exceptional car. Just remember the first ones from 90 to like 94 were awesome, definitely one up on the Lexus LS. For some reason I guess Infiniti decided to make it more dull like the LS which was a mistake and I guess killed it. Bring the Q45 back as a more updated version like it was in 90 and they'll have a winner!
Its interesting to see 11+ year old cars with many of the same luxuries as current luxury vehicles. Not much has changed.
@Airr91 He's done a lot of 2010-11 luxury cars. How many of them do you expect him to do?
Antena mast needs replaced, lights on could be a lot of things (actuator). Hook up obdII meter and check codes
I ONLY watch tours by Saab kyle. others just don't compare to me
+CadillacCampaign Same
you must be on some good crack.
hah i have a 98 q45 base model without the phone so i lol'd hard when i saw that because i just store a lot of papers and crap in there. by the way great vid. :)
m45 2003 - the best infiniti ever
Infiniti j30 and m30 coupe are the best
As a 01 i30t owner this car is nice ! But i like the i30t body style better at least the front end
I think it has something to do with the H.I.D lights if my mind serves me right lol
@toyota4life94 I think to keep them clean since several different people test drive the cars and stuff.
Thank you Kyle . Liked this video , I know it's older , but timing is better , not as long . It's probably not as though , but enough
Not that I mean to criticize , at all
Ive been looking for one of these for the longest. I cant seem to find one for sale in my area :(
So clear for 2011
can you please do a video on the bmw e39 m5 it would be much appreciated
@Finalomen i meant the LS. you probably confused the lower case L for an I
@celsovera91 Wat are you talking about? they still do with the G25 vs Is250 and the G37 vs Is350
Let's put this on a Dyometer,place some stacked wine glasses on the hood and run it to top speed....id like to see that...just like the "Balance" Ad lexus had out when the LS hit the market in 1990.
are xenon headlamps the same as HID, or is there a difference?
@Airr91 what's your definition of a "good car?" I happen to think this is a very good car!
@texan176 the 2002-2006 Q45 did actually have the Optitron Like Clusters....but i agree i like that style abit less...kinda looks like a Hyundai!
Makes me wonder in my '98 is a aftermarket vip ride. It has more in it than this '99
@mitchman2100 The cube... the juke... the versa... even the new quest. The Altima, Maxima and 370Z/G37 still look okay though
All City Autos has always had cars i really like haha
Nice review. I'm looking at picking one of these up as a commuter car. I heard that the touring model though is more noisy and has a rougher ride than the basic model. Can anyone please confirm this?
IloveBaklava im picking one up on thursday ! Needs some things but once its fixed up ill never let it go
For several years I wanted one of these so bad (back when they were new), never got one...
Scott They are nice sounded great! The guages were awesome too.
They are affordable now an you can get one with under 150k miles for around 5k.
It would in a demotion derby. Also in a battle of ergonomics.
Older Infiniti's are the best in my opinion. I know someone that has a G20 with automatic seat belts.
@celsovera91 wouldn't that be the infiniti M?
❤❤❤
@kevinf1990 this was their flagship before the m came out
@saabkyle04 i want you to make a review of my 1975 mrecedesbenz unimog in perfect conditions but my dad sell it ¬.¬
Did he sell it yet?
Did he sell it yet?
that car is just 100% my type of car lol
dam sick super clean almost ass clean as my 99 infiniti i30
It's right above the parking brake release at 2:52 in the video. What's that switch do?
That’s for the HID headlamps. It adjusts the beam height- sort of “auto adjustable” for back in the day. Pretty common for Infiniti to put this on the cars w HID lamps until the computer that controlled the height came out.
@LyoneC no it doesn't. Abs has nothing to do with the trans. Trac has nothing to so with trans. Slip has nothing to do with trans. They are all related. But the trans has nothing to do with those lights.
@SoloDuude check his videos..2010 genesis I believe
@TJC450 Not as bad as the old J30's.
Always loved the 99-01 Q45Ts...the 02+ are just ugly ugly ugly. The design is attractive because it it very conservative and fitting of a traditional V8 RWD sedan. The Lexus LS was a higher grade of car but this was something special. The gauge cluster is out of place though. It looks like it belongs in an economy car. They should have copied Lexus with electro-lum clusters.
@gentle285 ok, thxs a lot!
My buddy just bought a 1992 4.5 with 4k miles. Come review it lol.
I think a 2000+ Avalon XLS has it beat with better (much better JBL ) sound and dual climate controls getting 30 MPG / HWY. 215 HP V6 - but lighter car and info display in dash. But a 99 Lexus GS-400 - blows them both away if you are looking in this current price range with REAL wood BTW and ' tip-tronic' shifters on steering wheel and 300 BHP !
