Hey Orlando, if you have to choose between an RC 350f vs Q60 Red Sport, same year, etc;
@orlandojacinto12 күн бұрын
Each has its pros and cons. In terms of build quality and longevity, RC350f. The IS350 F Sport is my to favorite to drive same engine as the RC. Q60 is a very good car as well, but based on the costly repairs I had the QX70, there is the potential I would have the same build quality issues with the Q60. David, go with the RC.

Let me tell you, I call this company INFINI-THIEF, they are a RIP OFF. A bunch of CROOKS. They do not sell parts separately like most other mfg. They wanted over 3500 USA dollars to replace a DIFF. BUSHING on my 2009 fx35 rwd suv. I got a Z1 Motor Sport DIFF BUSHING for $99.00 and paid a mechanic $250, and all is very good now. And this after market bushing is much better, than THEIRS, by the the way the suv is handling right now. Now their PVC VALVE they want approx. 150 USA $, I am trying to find replacement cheaper here again. But YEAH infini-thief ARE CROOKS. Funny thing is I like the shape of the fx/qx. Mine has over 200,000 thou miles. Still. I WOULD NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER INFNITI MADE VEHILCE. I will keep this one and sell the parts to make back some of my money. I runs pretty good still. But I am tired of calling the INFINI-THIEF to get their prices.

The newer RCFs also lack a few features your 2016 had l,ike memory seats, ambient lighting and the shock tower brace has been removed in the 2023+ RCFs.
