I can get 40 MPG on the highway with my Q50 hypermiling. The Q50 actually has one of the best drag coefficients on the market.

[@LearningFast]

William Vagabond I had a 2016 Q50 Silver Sport rear wheel drive. I turned it in after the 39 month lease as the car was worth about $5,000 less than the residual. I have a Kia Stinger GT2 RWD now and I actually get better gas mileage on the highway with it despite its engine being a 3.3 liter instead of just the 3.0 liter in the Q50.

There is a setting that allows you to open all four doors when you grab the door handle. You can also turn off the annoying horn when you lock the car.

Thanks for going over the downsides of the Q50. Definitely helps to know what to expect. One of the first things I did to my Q50 is add paddle shifters. From my understanding, most are wired from the factory for paddles.

Its amazing how i agree with you on every single thing, when switching from the 2015 altima to this car i was shocked on the loss of space and info system, i was planning up installing mods but now im waiting for my lease to expire so i can get the new one, love the vids, keep it up brother, love watching a a vid from a fellow new yorker

I was driving a rental 2019 330i and I found the AC sucksssss in the 330i. It needs to always be on MAX AC for it to cool, and then it's just superrrr loud. The Q50's atleast you don't have to max it out and remains more silent.

Re: door locks There is a safety reasons that they do the door locks the way they do. If you’re in a dark parking garage or parking lot, and you walk up to your car and put your hand on the door handle, it opens one door. If it open all the doors somebody could jump in from the other side and hijack your car. Re: spare tire I had the run flat tires and no spare on my 2015 Q50S. The tires were HORRIBLE! First chance I had, I went conventional and I needed a spare. So I went to the dealer and priced everything to put a spare in my car. They said $1645.00! The styrofoam pieces were &118.00 EACH! I found a guy that had it all on the Q50 website for $400 and $250 S&W.

[@henrymatthews9365]

I've been looking at getting a 2018 the last couple of days. And I talked myself out of it. The car market is was to volatile currently. They are asking 25-30 k for these sport models that have less options than my 2014 Es350. I just had to tell a gang of dealerships nah ill wait till they come down to normal prices ie 20-22

[@daveelhamid6364]

Facts they overcharging like a bitch

[@a.bishop615]

Live near Nashville TN, where the summers are extremely humid and often reached near or over 100 F and near 0 F in the winter. The air freezes me out and the heat is HOT. No issues for me. Infotainment and Nav is good. If it had CarPlay, it would be perfect. It’s literally the only thing missing. The best part? The Q50 3.7 is over 300hp, and the 3.0T with proper bolt one and tune can near 500. To get that in a German competitor, you’re paying $50k used (not because of more value loss on the Q, but because of them being SO overpriced). You can’t lose with the Q. Once again, the only bad part is the outdated infotainment.

My man, you really need to get a 2015 Infiniti Q70L. I have it and it's amazing! It has heated and cooled seats for the front and rear seats. And also, the woodgrain interior is such a plus. A very clean look. Anyways though, I like the blue on your Q50 though

[@explorewiththeodore]

i own a 2018 q60s (which i think is red sport in US). Door issues are fine for me because i only have 2. No android auto is the worst because google maps is superior. My car remembers the HVAC settings so i dont have to reset it. It also seems strong enough for Australian heat. Bose sound system is amazing. Can you buy after market double DINS to replace?? I'm not sure but i want to so I can have android auto. I hope they do a backwards update of the infotainment systems once android auto rolls out. I put my phone in the front cupholder too. Slow charging is annoying Drive mode doesnt save either that is so annoying! Glove box way too shallow since I keep my manual in there too. One new thing to add is theres not enough interior lighting in the car. If you want to find something in the back footwell without light at night good luck!

[@teckniec2]

You can get ceramic tint that is clear and blocks infrared waves (heat) if you can't get regular tint.

Hey boost, congrats on 10K subs!! Another great video as always!! It can be set up where when either from door handle is touched, the rear doors unlock as well, no need to press the handle button. All valid points, keep it up!!

[@tonyvang7717]

Everything you mentioned, I 100% agree with you. I drive a 2015 3.7s q50 awd. Good car but can be better for the price it's being sold at. Most annoying part about my q50 is no android/apple car play and that shit is lags. Also my a.c. does not blow as cold also and I live in Oregon, Portland. It don't get too hot here but when it does get hot, my a.c. doesn't work well. It only blows decently cold with driving. On a stand still, it doesn't blow cold until I start driving again. That stupid navigation knob, it's very, very useless. Folding back seats should be an option for all makes and models.

[@prm5798]

The a/c on my 2017 is ice cold, I bought a spare belt for 20 bucks on rock auto and keep it in my trunk just in case.

[@916meds5]

As a q50 owner, I can say I agree with everything you have said. My ac blows pretty cold though, I change out the cabin filter every 6 months. I also added ceramic tint which made a big difference. As far as oil changes I do them myself using Amsoil or Pennzoil platinum 0w20 and a Wix filter every 5000 miles. When people ask me if they should get a q50 I tell them generally no unless they are car enthusiasts.

The Q50 May be discontinued instead of being replaced. The Q50 sales are abysmal this year but their large SUV sales are quite good. Next year they will introduce a new small SUV (Think QX40) and not necessarily a new Q50.

[@kempowarrior]

I don't think so. You know the G35 coupe/sedan helps save the Infiniti brand not to long ago right? And then they change the name from the "G" to the "Q" so I highly doubt that Infiniti will not make a replacement. I belief Infiniti will make a replacement for the Q50 but I could be wrong. I guess only time will tell who's right.
