Ok first off there are people out there that will say - not on or with BMW, AUDI or Mercedes, the infotainment system is dated, the interior isn’t as nice. Well let me tell you what, I will take this vehicle over any of the other options out there. From a performance stand point it will run with or past most comparable vehicles in the segment. I now have 10k miles on mine which I purchased new in 9/20 and got one helluva deal. This is my second Infiniti. I love the look, performance, the tech and man does this car fly. Drive most of the time in Sport mode as I prefer the steering and handling of the car. However on the freeway it’s in Eco or standard mode and is just a pleasant car. I will say this, there is a good amount of wind noise on the freeway but to the haters, turn up the stereo system!! The Bose sound system is fantastic!!!! I highly recommend this car for anyone out there that wants a daily driver that has plenty of power to make you smile. Update I have now owned this vehicle since new for over 2 years. I currently have just shy of 29K and the only issue that has come up was a slight leak due to a body weld issue, the trunk was seeing water intrusion, went to an authorized Infiniti body shop and since then no further issues. The stock battery failed and created a no start situation that couldn’t be jumped had to be towed. These are things that could happen to any vehicle. I have also replaced the horrible OEM run flats and replaced with conventional Continental DSW06 Plus - fantastic improvement. While this model has remained unchanged for what seems like an eternity it is still a fantastic car, I am looking forward to seeing what Infiniti does long term as the Q50 is long overdue for an upgrade.

2019 Q50 RedSport (Twin Turbo 400 HP) 5-yr review

Leased Car in March 2019 and while I have only 29K on the Odometer, the car has been an absolute pleasure to drive. Have changed the oil 3x (every 10k as per dealer). Changed Cabin filters at each 10K service. Changed Brake Fluid at 20K. Lack of Access to Apple Car Play a huge negative, especially that my 2018 Nissan Rogue has access to it. Also, needed to change tires at 23,000 miles and they were pricey at $400/per. That is it to date. Acceleration is fantastic. Need to be careful because you are well past the speed limit quickly. Brembo brakes definitely appreciated! Seats are comfortable and sound system is great. Bought my lease out in May of 2022 and have no regrets.

My seventh INFINITI. The folks at Naperville INFINITI are the best. In and out in under an hour. Zero pressure. The q50 is great fun to drive. Fit and finish is typical INFINITI. Red sport seats are great. Another job well done. Thanks INFINITI.

I feel sorry for the person who now oens this car. I have seen several deaths from loss pf steering in the q50 and its sad the manufacturer doesnt care about consumers. Im happy to hear sales on the q50 have fallen I took my car in the first month because of it drifting to the right constantly and was told its roadcrown but nothing ever inspected. roadcrown is in the right lanes not every lane. the 4th month the run flat on front right blew out on the sidewall but was no potholes around and roadside assistance never came to tow my car. I had to buy 4 new tires. The 14th month new tire on front right has sidewall damage again with a crack on the inner lip of the rim. Rim was replaced but nothing else inspected. Potholes will throw a car way out of alignment. i went to pay for alignment and only spec out was the left front toe. Now in spec car drifts to the right even more. So if you want a self driving car lol that will go from the left lane to the far right lane in 2 to 3 seconds all by its self i guess its for you. If you want a car that will be a constant money pit, unsafe snd warranty not covering this car is for you. The manufacturer claims this car is manufactured to constantly drift to the right but i csnt find this complaint anywhere. That seems to be the stupidest thing i ever heard and seems very unsafe. However the company has never drove the car to make this conclusion. cars are put at spec to fight roadcrown. ive never owned a car that seems to drive so unsafe. The lower control arm bushings are defective and leaking and this is whats causing this issue. These defects are not warrantable and cost me 3600.00 to fix the issue. The fuel rails are also defective and leaking gas. I have 25k miles and have replaced my tires 3 times now

Best Car I've Owned...until recently.

This is the 2nd Q50S Red Sport I've owned. With 400hp and 350lb torque, the thing is a screamer. Very fun to drive and a great value for the $$$. Few downsides: exhaust note sounds like a Ford Focus, 19" instead of 20" wheels, very outdated user tech for the driver, too much chrome on the exterior. UPDATE...June 2022. Despite it being a really fun car to drive, my friend's new ride, bought in November 2021, caught my attention. He bought a 2022 BMW X5 M50i with its twin turbo, 32 valve, 523hp motor. I bought a M550i sedan, with the same motor, the following February. The BMW is far more expensive, of course, but the technology and sophistication is in an entirely different realm. My former Q50S Red Sport looks quite primitive by comparison. I'll be interested to see if Nissan decides to invest in a major update to its higher-end Infiniti's. My guess is that they'll soon abandon the current Q50 platform. Will it be replaced with another high performance V6 or V8? I doubt it.
