Sporty Sport Sedan

2017 INFINITI Q50 Sport 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful

Great car overall. Steering needs a little getting used to. As quoted by Infiniti "A World’s First Technology, INFINITI’s Direct Adaptive Steering® (DAS) removes the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires". Fun to drive and the 3.0t engine definitely provides more than enough power.

Dream to drive

2018 INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)
17 of 19 people found this review helpful

The only issue with the AWD Red Sport are the Dunlap run flats that are the original equipment on the vehicle. If purchase, or lease, inform dealership that you will not go forward with purchase unless they trade out the RFs for tires of your choice. Do not listen to negative reviews. The car drives like a dream. Just do not get DAS. Sound system and blue tooth are phenomenal. Pick up, handling, and drive are amazing. 360 degree cameras, and sonar are wonderful.

Q50 redsport

I've had the car for about 2 months. My previous car was a G37 IPL, so I will mostly compare this to that and the other two cars I cross shopped this with, the BMW 440iGC/340i and Lexus GS350 F Sport. It's definitely faster than the IPL, but it doesn't feel as sporty. I can't figure out why, but I've narrowed it down to either the tires being different or because the IPL had a LSD. It just doesn't feel that great in the corners. The acceleration is really good, though. I mainly drive on the highway and it's really useful for when you have to speed up to change lanes. From what I've read, the 400HP ranking is actually underrated. But still, I actually preferred the cars I was comparing this too. I really wanted a Lexus GS, but when it came down to price, there was really no decision at all. They have some insane deals going on. The sticker on mine was $57K. The Lexus and BMW I was looking at were $59K. My monthly lease payment is $250-350 lower with the Infiniti. My payment is actually $50 lower than what it was for my IPL and this has a lot more power and technology. The gas mileage is pretty good too. I get 24mpg in Sport mode and 25 in Normal. One time I was running low on gas, so I took it easy on the pedal and I got up to 30mpg. So in conclusion, the car looks great, handles okay, has a lot of power, interior is comfortable with a good amount of space, has all the new technology, and even gets pretty good gas mileage if you don't mash the peddle. And they usually have really good deals going on, so it's great value for the money.

From 2013 G37x To 2017 Q50

2017 INFINITI Q50 3.0t Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I have owned a few Infiniti cars and never really had any trouble with them. I was not looking to upgrade at the time, when I drove the Q50 and Q60 at the Drive at the Autobahn Country Club club in Joliet, ILL after that I was looking to buy. I love the way it handles and performance is good. Lots of upgrades in 4 years. Keep up the great work I saw the review of the tall guy up here he must be well over 6 feet tall. I am 5,9 and if i put the seat back and down I can't reach any of the pedals or steering wheel. you will have to drive one for yourself to see if it is a fit for you. But for me it is a great car.

Great luxury car that excelled in the areas I want

Excelled in the luxury areas I want. Coming off lease or a 2015 BMW 428i x drive, the Infiniti has more comfort, better acceleration, and more safety features. Handling is a little less precise, but better ride on long trips more than makes up for it. Once you get used to the Direct Adaptive Steering it is great and adjustable too.
