I have a 2017 Q70 and I absolutely love it!!

[@mingboyus]

I have a 2011 M37x I get 19 MPG in the city. I LOVE this car, it is tons of fun to drive!

[@john5516]

Steven Ming Steve, any issues with it so far?

[@khmerbraveheart]

@@john5516 For me. No. Just depends what tires you have on. I get 21 - 32. When I'm on road trips, I use ECO and get a bit more miles. It's a really quiet car. But mines rear wheel drive.

[@FabienTeulieres93]

@@khmerbraveheart Infiniti’s ECO mode is a bit unsettling at first (pushes the gas pedal back to you) but it works quite well on the highway when you’re used to it. It really saves gas, it’s not a gimmick.

[@khmerbraveheart]

@@FabienTeulieres93 even better on cruise haha

[@FabienTeulieres93]

@@khmerbraveheart Yes indeed 👍

[@RoyalAbundance]

Thanks for another great review Steve! I've test driven this car (M37) and I really enjoyed it. It may not be as refined as the Germans, but the performance, tech, and content make it somewhat of a value in its class. I don't understand why Infiniti has always struggled with marketing and promoting since the Q45...

[@Manos5k]

Great review. I love this car !!!!

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Great review, beautiful car. Probably the premium sedan that I'd want later on.

[@declo111]

Great review. I might have to wait till the price drops when the new model comes out.

[@eileenverjes413]

This would be a great car ro buy pre-own, specially considering Infiniti is the foreign luxury brand that depreciates the most, and it should be pretty reliable.

[@brittoncoil2518]

Mike Rod maybe when compared to the other Japanese brands. The Germans depreciate wayyyyy more.

[@brittoncoil2518]

storm white I would say it depends on the price. It’s a fairly bullet proof car though.

[@brittoncoil2518]

storm white np😁

[@kingaza7734]

Think you ment to say bmw depreciates the most....

[@theemperor2017]

Isnt Infiniti nissan or toyota? Which is japanes or american?

[@disgaearules23]

a very good looking car!

[@Cali_Lux_Cruiser]

Great review.

[@stevehammes]

Thanks!

[@BadDriversNYC]

Would love to see a Q50 hybrid review

[@TAEbot]

Good review. Mixed feelings on the Q70 but the interior is very nice.

[@Bear_83]

Great review. car shopping now I'm looking at the *M56* I want V8. Only difference I see are the Letter changing M to Q. The 2015 models have slight newer look. And probably audio upgrades.. but for now and price neg. Really like the M56x.

[@East17A]

Steve Hammes is the only car reviewer who mention wheels and tires specs .. awesome .. others would mention the wheels/Rims only. but not the tires. it's important to mention both.

[@stevehammes]

Thanks!

[@330Xis]

That tire gap is horrendous. They need to offer air adjustable suspension, probably only an issue on the AWD model. My BMW also had it and as soon as I bought it I had Eibach sport springs put on it, way better look. Great review Steve.

[@philipgladwin7605]

Nice view of Albany, NY at the end of the video! (...the car's not bad either!)

[@stevehammes]

Philip Gladwin Thanks. Born and raised.

[@101pastor]

I know this Dec 16,2020 I will be getting a 2013 M37 I am looking forward to it.

[@khmerbraveheart]

I love this car so much. My M37 since 2014. I was looking forward to getting a new one but heard it was discontinued 'cause of Nissan getting robbed from one of their CEO or some shit. And that they had to remodel 4 different car and made few new ones. Versa, Sentra, Navara and more. I can't wait to see the new redesigned Frontier!

[@ThousanWhite]

I love this friggin car. I'm going to get one next year just so people know

[@sjohn5779]

Charlie_Willie did you get the car yet? 🤔

[@ThousanWhite]

Nah. I decided it was a little too big. I decided to lease an Audi S3. Maybe one day when I need the space I'll find a used Q70..

[@deasttn]

Charlie_Willie whoa. If the q70 was too big, why not go with the smaller q50? Ive got an Audi and an Infiniti and I much prefer my Infiniti.

[@nonsecular13]

Dream car

[@herczeus9341]

They should have put Michelin Tires on it. Michelin has the best rubber in the world.

[@danielallocca7770]

Herc Zeus correction sir, Trojan makes the best rubbers in the world

[@the_famous_reply_guy]

What are you saying? Never heard of them.

[@Tabuk___888]

Amazing car,,,

[@CodeXana]

I honestly thought that 2015 Q70 was the Q50 and I never have trouble pin pointing what car I'm looking at even upon the smallest details/glimpses, yet this really threw me off so clearly that's not good

[@Dankcatvacs]

how could you not smile when giving this barge the beans?

[@kenbina]

I love this car, if not just for the looks alone. The problem is with the original name "M". Any vehicle with that name coupled with constant comparisons to BMW gives the car an identity crisis that will plague its sales in my opinion. It makes it look like a knock off, and that's very unfortunate for this amazing vehicle They should have NEVER named it "Infiniti M". Nissan dropped the ball on this one.

[@special300med2]

I'm getting piss NOW THE M37 M56 AND NOW THE Q70 all LOOK THE SAME, DAM THEY COULD ATLEAST CHANGE THE DAM BUMPER, I just started to like the car just because of of Vossen wheels, but what's the use of changing the name of the car if they all look the same,

[@blexy350]

Special300med Q70 was just for the nomenclature change. Redesign should be coming soon I hope.

[@LockDownOnSparta]

you should change your shitty attitude

[@shopwithaaron]

Looks like the largest wheels offered aren't close to filling the openings...just saying.

[@LockDownOnSparta]

You're "just sayin'" Jack shit...zip it mister and don't keep flapping your jaw

[@FabienTeulieres93]

The AWD version sits quite a bit higher than the RWD version, and it does not look that good, I agree. It looks like the car is jacked up on stilts.

[@michaelmoffa9905]

I have a 2013MX S. Love the car but Nissan needs to nix the Potenza tires....they are terrible.....easily the worst tire I've ever driven. I made the switch to the Pirelli Cinturato months ago and it's like driving a new car.

[@joner800]

for this as-tested price, why would you get this Infiniti instead of, say, an A6?

[@deasttn]

If you buy brand new with dealer warranty....yeah, an Audi would be awesome, but I wouldn't take an Audi with 100k miles on it over an Infiniti W 100k

[@FabienTeulieres93]

Long term, the Infiniti will run circles around the Audi. Audis don’t age well at all. Infinitis do. Talking from experience.

[@joranmikel7339]

It doesn’t stand out as much this car should be in competition with 7 series bmw and Lexus 460 if it is the flagship car the q50 is cheaper and not too much different

[@matthiasriehl]

Who uses all season tires on such a car?

[@Packerm87]

When are you going to review the 2015 WRX? (prefer the CVT trans)

[@stevehammes]

Trying to get one...hopefully June.

[@Dankcatvacs]

the gas mileage is horrible its got 7 gears and gets the same as q45 did back in the mid 90s

[@Tardisius]

Anything over $30,000 does not 'garner' in my world =)

[@billwalker3156]

[@billwalker3156]

@@dclay8412 The car is an absolute under rated value...Truly magnificent automobile! Nice power, cruises very well. Fantastic cornering, seats are nice for long distance driving - Very comfortable. Only one complaint - Car gets crappy fuel mileage -19 city and 22/23 highway. Oh, yeah - Low to insurance because of its amazing Safety ratings with the 5 star Crash, rollover scores. Highly recommended!

Bill Walker great, I will go and check it out this week. If all is good, I will purchase.

[@user-vo1dl3vk4m]

الله يرزقني بوحده زيها

[@Toyota4Life]

The problem with this car... is almost everything. My biggest issue is the way it looks it HUGE and if you don't opt for these LARGE wheels and get the smaller setup the car looks top heavy. The interior is the best thing about this car.

[@BTC909]

Still looks like an expensive Maxima. Insurance companies should keep this review on file for any claims regarding the vehicle leaving the roadway. Claimant: "II hit a rut and the steering wheel snapped out of my hands and the car went off the road!" Insurance Company: "You need to have your attorney talk to the manufacture."

[@ironbull2003]

65k is way to much. It should be starting at 45k to 55k for a V6 and no more then 60k for a v8 one. 59.999 should be the most expensive one the their sales would of go up by a lot, for nearly 70k people will buy Maserati ghibli and other similar cars.

[@ironbull2003]

yeaiamlooking at 75k miles for13k :)

[@ironbull2003]

Agree

[@Scorp333]

it's The M37 With No Changes At All!!! WHY WOULD ANYONE BY ANYTHIMG FROM THEIR 2015 LINE WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME DESIGN & TECH SINCE. 2003 WITH EXCEPTION OF THE Q50 (G35)

[@youngangel190]

This is an M37!!

[@darwandoo]

Simply behind the competition and the gas mileage is terrible

[@deasttn]

darwandoo yes, gas mileage is not great. If you keep it under 72 mph, you can get 24 on the highway.

[@SanDiegoInnOut]

Not impressed.

[@im1greatman]

Not enough people have the money to spend.

[@deasttn]

im1greatman buy em used and you can find them for less than $15k

[@MaliciousSRT]

LOL My Charger SRT8 gets better fuel mileage than that thing.

[@MaliciousSRT]

ACTUALLY I own the car and drive it! I'd know first hand. Its been as good as 30 mpg on the highway (in 4cyl mode) and about the same as the Infiniti in the city.

[@Okenpo]

This is not an economy car.

[@alex123453839]

I'm sure a ford focus does too, its a different caliber of car.

[@BTC909]

Wood trim whether it's real or plastic needs to stay on the trees.

[@Lil-Tee1988]

The previous version was better to me.

[@aw5003]

Its too big

[@RealtimeReviews613]

This car looks dated to me

[@angel_machariel]

What a laughable center stack. Reminds me a bit of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

[@bluehuskyangel]

stupid, why I wonder is no one buying this car,... umm maybe because its 52,000$ for that money why not buy a Mercedes Benz or f%$k you can even afford a Ferrari from the 19's why I wonder is no one buying this car... maybe cause if your a car guy, you would look like the worlds biggest chump paying this much for this car. its like a Benz without the status symbol... what's the point?

[@bluehuskyangel]

Don't mean no disrespect cause you actually do a great job talking during the review and your knowledgeable on her specs. :D I'm just so upset at infinities poor lack of advertising and styling when it comes to this car, I attended a 2014 car show and asked the Infiniti rep about this car, I sware the first thing he says is "well I'm a vegetarian and I'm proud that the seats are 100 non leather, its pleather, :D" I wanted to smack him, and I'm gay, when you are introducing a new luxury car brand, the seat material should be the least of your concerns, overall this is an ok, safe, and VERY CLEAN styled car, with an ok 3.7 litter engine, but you see that's the problem, there are cheaper cars out there that does everything this car does but THEY DO IT BETTER, I mean why not buy a G Sedan and glue a q50 logo on the back, you'll get better gas mileage and no one will even know the difference because both cars look the same LMFAO. So what's the point... Owners are most likely wealthy dudes/women who want to play it safe, so... if that's the case then those buyers usually always get a flipping Benz or BMW for the status symbol. This car looks exactly like a 2003 g35, so much for pushing the envelope, I mean if this company is going to play it safe why not rebadge this car and sell her car as a Nissan product. ban. :D

[@tomgaydos9128]

Easy to say, but in reality Infiniti absolutely annihilates BMW, Audi, and Mercedes with the lease and financing they offer. I narrowed my choices down to an A6, 535, and M37xS (Q70's 2013 badge). The cars had less than a $200 difference in sticker price, yet for a 3 year lease with nothing down, the Infiniti was $121 and $135 less PER MONTH respectively. I wasn't interested in the E class because I'm not an old man. Mileage is about 19 MPG combined, so not too bad. Fun car, though. If you really want a sports car but regularly drive a lot of peeps, it's worth a look.

[@msiley]

$52K for a luxury brands flagship model is cheap. This model is comparable to a MB E400. And good luck owning a Ferrari and putting the miles on it like you can on the Q70.... because you can't.

[@luuhsetty8074]

bluehuskyangel can you tell me what cars ? I was thinking of buying this but reconsidering

[@Wins_And_Losses]

65k for a V6 that only gets 17city/24hwy??😂😂😂😂 The car looks average at best...might as well get a V6 Charger with everything in it and save 35k

[@RagingBad]

You can't compare that piece of shit Charger interior with this

[@Wins_And_Losses]

maximus10463 I'll take an SRT interior over a boring ass Q70 interior anyday. You gotta be stupid to pay 65k for a V6

[@flyonawall6521]

+maximus10463 I gotta admit...of the 3 Japanese luxury imports (Lexus, Infiniti, Acura), Infiniti's interior is far better than any of them. Whomever the designer is should be getting awards. I will admit that I'm not crazy over the exterior (too much like Nissian) the Charger's interior doesn't hold a candle to the Infiniti. As far as the drive train goes it is an AWD, they always have poor gas mileage.

[@FabienTeulieres93]

I like the Charger a lot, but both cars are a world apart in terms of built quality, inside and out. The Charger (any trim of it, really) is not even on the same level of the m37/m56/q70. It’s so obvious when you drive them back to back.

[@Wins_And_Losses]

@@FabienTeulieres93 Q70 is nothing but an overpriced Nissan😂 I’ll take a fully loaded Scat over ANY Infiniti. And you really took time to comment under a 7 year old post😂😆🤣
