2017 INFINITI Q50 Red Sport 400 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)
7 of 9 people found this review helpful
I love my infiniti Q50 Red Sport. The exterior styling is truly exemplary with many eye catching lines, pronounced wheel arches, sporty looking wheels, and amazing light design. The interior is filled with nice technology and the Bose surround system is amazing. Twin turbo V-6 offers some nice power for the price point. Now for the cons... The fuel efficiency is poor. Even at this power level you'd expect 3-4 more miles and the sticker overstates it. Second, the rear view camera has a very dim light. It really needs to be improved. Even though the top camera and side cameras are a nice add on, still it leaves you wanting a little bit more. Transmission shifts a bit harsh and it is not THE most comfortable, but you probably expect that getting a sports car. Overall the car is a great value and a great design. CPO warranty is strong as well. Full disclosure, I sell a competitor for a living in the high luxury segment. If you wanted to get a bit more out of a similar car, look to spend 65-75k instead of the 50's this Red Sport is in.

Bought a new 2018 Red sport. Two days after purchase the lower touch screen malfunctions. Took it back to the dealer and was told I NEED A new DCU (the lower screen). I was told it would take 5 days. On the 8th day I had to call to find out whats going on and was told the part is on back order for a month. As of today the month has come and gone and still no car and no idea when I would get it back. Inifiniti customer care has to be the worst in history. I have been lied to and my calls have gone unanswered. They tell me dates, then when the date passes I have to call and then im told another date with no explanation as to why the change. Ive searched the internet and found that the DCU is an on going issue for infiniti since 2014 so they know about it, but when I originally asked if this is something that happens alot, I was told no. This has been my worst purchase ever. The look , power and handling of the car is fantastic but the unreliability of the electronics and the terrible customer service makes this a bad buy. I gave up a reliable Lexus I had for 11 years for this car and it broke in 2 days. This is my first and last Infiniti. After I get it back i need to find a way to get out of it before anything else happens"

It looks impressive in specs. Engine is excellent, it makes me doubt that it only has 300HP, feels more potent, perhaps the high torque at low RPMs is a big help. The major issue with this car is that Infiniti completely screwed up steering and to add insult to injury installed awful run flat tires (2.5 starts on TireRack). I changed the tires at 6K miles, first time in my life before tires wore out. The steering does not seem to have a center, the car goes left and right whenever it feels like on the highway, even if the steering wheel is not moving. In-spite of the engine and good interior, not a bad looking exterior, I'm not enjoying driving this car. Will be trading it in when Genesis G70 becomes available. No more Infinities for me.

Quick little sedan, kinda fun. Heated seats broke after 9,000 miles. 6 weeks later and no part to be had. Infiniti must not support their dealers very well. LOTS of interior noise. Wont buy another.

I guess I can say that I like the fact that this body style is nice the rims are nice everything about the car is nice but it has no functionality in reality it has two screens but doesn't give you s*** of options the drive selector when selecting any of the options like sport, standard ,and personal, snow ,no eco mode , or paddle shifters annoying enough there are no difference in any mode because I have personal in sport trans & sport steering
