5 year old design and it still looks better than today's new design sedans. It proves that they did it right the first time.

The interior of Infiniti has always been shit though. No interior luxury whatsoever

I’m surprised it’s so fast with only 300 hp

[@Al404DVP]

@@mk11fan87 it's way more than that. Nissan is under reporting. U have 2L turbos pushing close to 300hp. This is a 3L twin turbo, doesn't add up.

[@jakehunter1507]

Do you have the 400 Red sport version or just the 3.0 t

[@nickstanley3955]

The Q50 is a great bargain car. I got my 2015 premium with 38k miles for 22k. No accidents, etc. overall it’s an extremely comfortable place to be in with a decent audio system (I added a sub and it sounds amazing now) it can get good fuel economy if you try but that’s no fun lol. You can do a lot looks wise, but the 3.7 lacks performance capability, I would chose the 3.0T because with 3,000 you can get the AMS packages and make 500awhp. So imagine picking up a used 3.0t for 25k and only having roughly 3,000-4,000 invested and for a car under 30k you have 500hp and that’s not crank numbers, those are wheel numbers. My only complaints are I would like ambient lighting, top screen to look newer, more bass from stock audio. Other than that I think these cars are a steal at used prices!

[@CB-ec8uw]

I work in the automotive industry, and I know why a back seat often won't fold down. Allowing the back seats to fold down is a great feature for a family sedan, like a Toyota Camry, but not for a dedicated sports or luxury sedan. Split seating causes engineers to make compromises with regard to structural integrity, leading to more Noise - Vibration - Harshness, aka NVH. Leaving the cavernous hole split seating requires allows for more vehicle flex and body roll. Many premium level sedans do not include fold-down seats for this reason. Keeping the area behind the rear seat solid, with only a small pass-through hole, for say fishing poles, enables the manufacturer to increase structural integrity, creating a firmer, more solid ride and ultimately, a safer vehicle.

[@Marcus.Jones03]

good to know

[@jayjuggrnaut]

I came to this video directly from a Doug Demuro video. He reviewed a 2014 Q50 Red Sport 4 days after this video was posted. He specifically said, no need to review a 2019, it hasn't become more interesting/better in the last 5 years. He was dead on.

[@bryanespinoza1840]

I mean after 2016 they literally came with a new engine that’s insanely tuner friendly

[@ashwinkundeti7383]

Also there's no such thing as a 2014 q50 red sport the red sport came out in 2016

[@patricklibunao5532]

makes no sense not having apple car play wen the car has two screens

[@aleacejordan]

[@gameraddikted]

Agreed. Took them til 2020 to add it. Crazy.

[@stunnasaad]

they added it in 2021 model

[@momoneyhabits]

It should be standard but I've seen an upgrade you can add to get it for about $500...so not too bad.

[@caloFi]

or literally anything the fact it took them until 2020 to add carplay with two screens is pathetic

[@ShonTolliverMusic]

No Apple Car Play or Android for 2019, and that the Altima has tech not in the Q50.. really disappointing.

This is a great first car for after college graduation. It is stylish and has decent performance. I prefer the A4 over this but I definitely like this better than the 3 series and the Benz. Solid offering. I do think it is the best overall value out of the IS, A4, 3 series, etc class competitors for anyone looking to drive a luxury entry level vehicle. Great review too.

[@alphav1537]

This is faster😎 plus good tuning platform

[@stunnasaad]

The GT-R's twin brother! they call these skylines in japan

[@damienhazzard6944]

Why?? Very curious

[@stunnasaad]

@@damienhazzard6944 because they took the skyline name out of the gtr and put it in these cars. The last gtr skyline was the r34, after that the Infiniti G sedans got the skyline name, and now the q series. But basically the skyline badging doesn’t come to the North American market since it is sold as an Infiniti. But in places like Australia and Japan, it’s sold as a Nissan.

Thanks Rob! One of the few "fair" reviews of the Q50. I have the "Sport" (not Red Sport) model and love the car. Many of the options you mention are included with the Sport version. I just rented an Audi A4 for the week and would NOT even think of trading my Q50 for that vehicle. There is way too much "piling on" with reviews on the Q50. Thanks for your independent legit thoughts on the car.

I don't need my car to look "new", I need my car to look "good". And the Q50 not only looks good, it looks fantastic. It's almost a perfect design to me. It's a 9.5/10 and there's only a handful of cars I'd give that score. It's also the perfect blend of comfort, power and efficiency to me. For all these reasons I'm actually considering getting a Q50 as my next car. Really adore this car.

[@bigden2755]

You won't regret it....

[@davidipina2031]

If you care anything about interior quality and comfort, I don’t recommend this at all. There’s far better options with the same power and ACTUAL luxury. Trust me, that infotainment system is the biggest pain in the ass.I would only recommend the q50 if they refreshed the interior.

Laggy screen at a luxury price

[@thewiseguy7100]

I have owned MANY luxury cars such as Bmw , Audi, Mercedes and most recently Maserati Ghibli SQ4. The Infiniti interior is the worst quality. The infotainment system is outdated and laggy. The ONLY thing that it’s the best at is it’s performance. It’s a fast car and very smooth, not faster than a Maserati but still very quick.

[@cityenergy1]

I’ve owned the G25 the G35 and now the Q50- prior the the 25 I owned an Acura. I’m loyal to Infiniti this car has a classic look no matter the year. The only thing I don’t care for is the dual screen and I miss the analog clock VS. The digital analog. I feel it cheapened the interior. Also my 25 had Infiniti embroidered in the front seats. The speed and power is beautiful and I would definitely recommend this car.

[@bigden2755]

The 3.7 has 328 HP .....exactly....

But the peak hp doesn’t matter as much when you compare the torque figures between the 3.7 and the 3.0t. Even the base 3.0t feels a lot quicker, especially at altitude.

[@nickstanley3955]

I have a 3.7L q50 premium, my friend has a 3.0t with catback exhaust, ams heat exchanger along with air intakes and I’m still quicker. Now if he gets tuned then I’ll be dust but the 3.7 is most definitely quicker stock vs stock
