I have a 2003 Infinity G35 4-door sedan, one of the first originals sold off the Japanese assembly line in 2002. Yes, I've had to replace the radiator and AC compressor, but they were all under dealership warranty, and then of course some other maintenance items. But... this puppy's engine still purrs like a kitten and when I ask it, it still hugs the road. The best thing, however, is that I have not had a car payment in 13 years.

I bought my wife's first car (2007 hyundai accent) for $2000CAD in 2016, it had 105,000 miles or so. We still have it now in 2021 going into 2022, maybe we put $500-$600 into it for repairs since and about only 30,000 miles. But nonetheless, one of the best deals one could get. Great little runner, no engine light and no issues. With the shortage of vehicles we could probably sell it and get about $1400-$1600 for it, and maybe we will because wife recently got a 2017 tucson and Im driving her car and Im thinking of getting a corolla hatchback.

My q50 was purchased new. I think out the door I paid 56k, 3 years later it was worth 19k and dropping. Fully agree with Scotty in car not holding its resale value. The one in the video here I think held up much better than mine. 3 years later and 50k I had a squealing ac compressor. They had had to do a gap adjustment (whatever that means). Still didn’t fix it. They changed belts and it still didn’t fix it. And inside the quality didn’t hold up well the areas held together by double tape where all coming apart. Blend door actuator broke. Infotainment full of problems. That’s when I ditched it for my current car. To me my q50 just felt like an over priced Altima.

@@phillipjames453 believe it or not I looked at that car before I got the Infiniti. The problem I had was that Toyota financing didn’t want to approve me on the deal we put together. They instead said they would approve something with much higher interest and putting the car near the price I paid for the Infiniti. I was in a bad spot where I was rolling two cars with negative on each. The price they offered was for a Lexus level and if it was a Lexus I would of taken it. But not for a Toyota. Infiniti took in my cars in my current condition at the time and was able to offer discounts based on the fact that I used to be a Nissan owner in the past with great track record with them. So yes the price wasn’t great but it wasn’t too far off what would be reasonable for Infiniti. So I pulled the trigger. But after owning the brand considering the treatment etc and product quality it’s why I ditched it. But I actually agree with you. The Camry isn’t a bad car at all I liked it. It just ended up being a situational problem for myself at the time. 👍

I prefer the RWD of Infiniti vs Nissan in their sporty sedans. My days of Nissan are long gone. Owned their trucks, cars and SUVs. Was a big fan of Maximas and owned a few until 99. When the rumors of the new redo in 00 being RWD was bunk, that was my last Maxima. My last 04 Armada was it for Nissan. Nothing from them interests me and the quality has definitely gone way down from those days.

I bought a used 2014 Nissan Altima with a V6 270 HP engine in 2016 from a dealer and it goes like a rocket. I bought an extended warrantee on everything and just extended it for another 7 years or until it has 90,000 miles on it for 2000 dollars. Anything goes wrong no matter what it is no cost to me. So far only problem was a position sensor on the crank shaft. Cost to me on the first warrantee was 100 dollars. Car has a little over 36,000 miles on it. Every gadget you can think of. I really enjoy this car. Glad you also like it too. Glad you think it's a reliable engine.

Scotty,heres a tip even YOU have never thought about. Recently,I found the petrol refill cap door would not open on my wifes 1999 Toyota Corolla...the spring had broken. To get it to open,I simply put a an appropriately sized object (a tiny metal container!),under the release lever inside the car and left it there until i fixed the problem. To fix the problem, i got a metal key ring,opened it out a little and inserted it in the fuel cap release door where the release spring had been....it works a dream and it cost nothing! Think i'll start a KZbin channel in oppostion to yours,Scotty! Heck,i'm halfway across the world here in Ireland,so i'm sure it'd be okay!!!

Ive gotten stuck on the side of the road after hitting a pothole. My low profile tire got ripped. Changing a tire on a busy intersection with people going 60mph is dangerous especially if your back is towards the traffic side. Now I have to buy 2 new tires so that they ride evenly. Wheels can also get bent easier because there is less rubber to cushion the blow. Low profiles are high maintenance and cost more too.

Infiniti is better than Nissan but only just. It mainly comes down to the fact that the Infiniti brand doesn’t use CVTs. They still have issues and are not comparable to Acura or Lexus in terms of long term reliability.

I had a 04 G35 and a 08 G37. Great cars. Not one problem. V8 power good quality. They just aren't quite as solid as Lexus: Normal Toyota/ Lexus only breaks if you try to break it. Infiniti is 80 or 90 % of Lexus. Nissan isn't the same story compared to Toyota.

About the only "assisted" driving feature that I leave turned on is blind spot monitoring (which in Toyotas--at least the Camry's) it doesn't beep or make noise) and the adaptive cruise control. I've since turned off the lane departure warning system, as it's annoying. Of course some you can't turn off like the preventative collision systems but those only come on if you're going to hit something.

It’s fun, smooth, and sounds good when you wanna go fast. I bought it knowing they didn’t hold value well but to me, that’s fine. I just wanted a reliable engine on a good platform that has some style. It was either gonna be this or a stinger for me. Went with this instead because the stingers are very overpriced by me.

The more complex a car is the more things that can and will go bad eventually. I agree, those low profile tires are foolish. Even without potholes there are curbs railroad tracks, road debris. You are going to regret it, for what? Looks? More expense? ROI.

Ive had 2 infinitis with the same engine. My last one (m35) reached 280k. It was burning oil and i would still beat the crap out of it. I beat the crap out of it a little too hard on the freeway before i added more oil and ended up with nasty engine knock. If it werent for the way i drove that thing, im sure it would have lasted much longer.

I bought a 1 year old 2015 Infiniti Q50 3.7 V6 for $24,500 (27k miles) brand new it was 45k. Depreciation is crazy on those of new but used it is an excellent value. I have had no problems at all and I put it trough its paces. 2015 was the best year for Q50. Avoid the 2016+ Q50 due to its problematic twin turbo engine.
