So, I have had this car since 2018. It's a Red Sport so the horsepower and pick up are fantastic. Just at 70,000 miles on the car and no brake work, no engine, transmission, or mechanical problems of any kind. Just oil changes. Don't know why the reviews are not more kind to this car as it is wonderful. I just hope they keep making them!

I wanted an AWD sports sedan with a 6cyl. The q50 has exceeded my expectations. I love having apple car play. The dash is beautiful and very easy to see. I love the speed and consistency of the drive. I have the Luxe AWD trim with no packages and am very satisfied with the value for the price. Looking to enjoy my new ride for years to come.

This is my 2nd Q, I had the 2017 Q50 which was a nice car. The technology was surely lacking behind Lexus and Acura but the car itself outperformed each of them easily. I also had a 3 Series BMW, which was a superior ride versus all entry level luxury cars, BUT way too overpriced, plus a weak engine compared to the Q50. I just went to the 2020 Q50S which is Fantastic. The technology was upgraded, still not the best, but the response is quick and accurate. The 16 speaker Bose is astounding. Lexus always wins on interior detail, they are #1. Acura is too conservative and reminds me too much of a Honda. I never had good luck with Honda transmissions. Although I had a 1992 Acura Legend which rates as one of my best overall cars I ever owned. You can't go wrong with a Q50 if you want a great engine, smooth transmission, a great drive and an overall comfortable ride. Like I said, Lexus beats Infiniti with interior details and beauty every time, it's not even close. So it all depends on what you are looking for. You can't go wrong with a Q50, or the Q50S if you want a high performance, good looking ride.1 YEAR UPDATE August 2021; my Q50 is still performing at the same high level. No issues and sill fun to drive..

I lease my cars so I've had 3 Q50 sedans; 1st was the Q50 3.7L and now I'm in my 2nd Q50 3.0t Sedan. I really enjoyed the switch from the 3.7L to the 3.0t. I've never had a turbo engine so it was a pleasant surprise. The power and engine response on the 2016 model was very good. The safety features and technology was great. The 2019 model on the other hand wasnt as smooth of a transition. I currently have about 1200 miles on it (it might change and get better after the break in period) but I feel there is more turbo lag in this car compared to the 2016 model. It's not as responsive. I love the small changes to the exterior body but another thing that I dont like is the brightness of the blind spot warning light. There seems to be two stages for the light, one is when the BS detects a vehicle and lights up and the second is when it starts blinking when/if you put the turn signal on. The warning light is dimmer than the blinking light. In the older models it was all the same which I prefer. Last but not least, the front passenger seat still vibrates. In my 2016 model they couldnt figure out the issue to fix. I lived with it hoping the 2019 model wouldnt have the same issue but I was wrong. It's the small things that can ruin a nice car!

Thrilled with most aspects. I’ll only list the negatives since there are so many positives and most are already published: Should have option to switch out the run flat tires. They get reduced tread lift and add some road noise. Dual infotainment is ok...would prefer more custom configuration Road noise is moderate above 70 mph but still much improved over my older 2008. No Apple car play. Dealer said their internal InTouch is better. I disagree. Otherwise love the look and feel of this car and totally enjoy driving it. I suddenly don’t mind running errands for the wife.

The RedSport is a bit of both. It's a gentleman's M3. It's just as explosive as an M3 but without the feeling of constant adrenaline. It's not as refined as Audi s4, but it's more comfortable that both of the aforementioned. I've had over 30 BMW's and when I test drove one after driving the Redsport, the Bimmer felt stiff and uncomfortable. The wind noise and other lack of subtleties may be a problem for some - especially at the price. Speaking of price, the Redsport is a much better value and Infiniti presents a more reasonable repair option. I like it much better than BMW. M3 is more of a drivers car, but Redsport is more of a complete car. Its a more comfortable driving experience 100% of the time

The good then the bad.... The good to start ok? 1. Awesome looks. The styling on this car is sexy as hell. The black paint is like a mirror. The rims and tires are very appealing and performance oriented. .2. Safety features are here. I like the all way around the vehicle back up cameras and the collision avoidance so I don't rear end anyone. There is a button to push where the sunroof controller is in case of a crash, it will connect you with a live INFINITI operator. 3. The black interior is so well done with real leather all over. The sunroof really makes it more fun. I am 6ft 1 inch and 280 pounds...4 guys like me can easily drive all day in this car. The 14 speaker Bose system is so clear and powerful. I am very proud to be booming this system. 4. The sound the turbo makes is fun and exhilarating. Plenty of power 300 hp. I have taken the car up to 140, that seems to be about it for top speed. That was fun. 5. Handling...you can drive this car fast around a corner and it will control your braking and gas to make the smoothest turn. The brakes are super strong, and very impressive. 6. The trunk is huge...I think I could fit a small elephant in there. The bad... 1. I am not digging the navigation system, for me it's too complicated to use. 2. It doesn't have apple play or android play or whatever its called. I end up using my phone for directions and playing music via Bluetooth. It would be much easier to touch a screen to go to panora, amazon music or apple music. 3. The transmission switch for ice, economy, standard, sport and sport plus....it doesn't remember your choice when you restart the car. So everytime i get in the car i have to select economy.....i hate that. 4. i notice Bluetooth connection issues. it has issues the first minute of start up. So to finish....I love this damn car and will buy another when the lease runs out. 5. Some of the instrument panel you cant read unless you like really lean over and look around the steering wheel. i didn't know how to find the cruise control for a few months.

The Q50 Red Sport is very fun to drive. The 3.0 L twin turbo engine is the highlight. The 7 speed automatic transmission does its job well. Shifts are very smooth and quick. Infotainment system is not the best but is simple and user friendly. The car is a looker, I got mines in iridium blue. The akibono red brake calipers with the gunmetal 19 inch infinity wheels comes standard with the red sport and makes the cars appeal pop. This is my daily driver and I am loving it!

Over the years, I've owned an Infiniti G35 and a 2014 Q50 before trading in for my 2019 Q50 Red Sport 400. In summary, you can get a faster car in this category from the German companies. You can also get a nicer interior from the German guys. What you can't get from them is this bang-for-the-buck. Dollar for dollar, you would be hard pressed to find a car that can compete with the Red Sport 400. The interior is getting a little outdated but outside of that I absolutely love it! Fantastic, stealthy, daily-driver that can match the straight-line performance of most sport cars...yet with surprising good mpg. 0 -60 mph in 4.5 seconds!? Make sure the baby-seat is strapped down tight! The other guys can keep their German cars. I'll keep the extra @ $20k in my bank account!

This cars acceleration is awesome. I thought the stock exhaust was too quiet for a car with sporting intentions, so I bought the after market Inifini straight pipe axle back exhaust. It is loud but I enjoy the rumble. It’s a lot of fun to drive and I find myself flooring the accelerator as often as conditions permit!

Same great engine but Infiniti reprogrammed the transmission to shift into higher gears at slower speeds. The results are being in 5th gear at 30 MPH. I am sure this was in an attempt to maximize fuel economy but the result is lugging this great power plant to a pedestrian level. Tranny is also harsh on downshifts from 5th to 4th and 4th to 3rd. Options that were on my 2016 not offered in similar packages in 2019. No power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, no more Bose audio, no more memory driver's seat. Better back up camera in 2019 than 2016. More detailed Nav screen. Same two screen set up. Still fun on the open road but in town driving can be maddening with the reprogrammed transmission.

The two screens are terrific, however, if you don’t read the owners manual or watch the easily accessible YouTube videos that explain in detail how to use the infotainment system it will take you longer to learn. No complaints with acceleration, fuel range (with a 20 gallon gas tank), fuel economy, and comfort. I wish the Luxe model came with memory settings for the passenger and driver seats.

I was amazed and fell in love with the car right after I test drove it. I've had turbo charged cars before and this car definitely is on top of the game with it's twin turbo charge engine. I can already tell that this engine is bullet proof. I would definitely buy this car again. Waiting for the 400Z to come out, apparently it's suppose to have the same engine. Go Q50!

The Q50S is a beautiful,fun car with plenty of "POP".Mine has 300 hairy chested turbo HP and I love it.Fuel consumption is OK.Ride is solid AWD and run flat 19" tires give a controllable safe felling ride.I get plenty of compliments on my shiny black finish. My only complaint is the lack of driver seat and steering wheel memory buttons.This feature was standard on the 2012 Nissan Maxima I traded and I miss it. PDC

2019 INFINITI Q50 3.0t Signature Edition 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)
7 of 9 people found this review helpful
Infiniti cars have a solid build quality with strong performance engines. My car is the Q50 Signature Edition. Comes with nicer black chrome wheels and sport seats. Interior is a relatively clean design with the exception of the center stack. Having two screens is not a problem - the problem is the two screens are two different finishes and one is touch screen and the other isn’t. Also, I bought the last year they didn’t include Apple Car play (started in 2020 models) so that is very limiting when using the underwhelming infotainment system with my phone. The drive train is strong but a mixed bag. The engine is superior. Good power, smooth acceleration, and reasonably efficient. As you will probably read elsewhere, the 7-speed transmission is a let down. Up shifts are not very smooth and down shifts are clumsy when not shifting yourself. Having driven BMWs for years, I don’t know why almost every automaker is not using the ZF 8-speed transmission. It is so much further ahead of the tranny in the Q50. Nissan/Infiniti needs to figure out their transmission execution. I know they love CVTs and are committed to that, but their torque converter trannys are a little disappointing. Suspension is good. My car has the Active Trace feature which is basically a poor mans torque vectoring (brakes the inside rear wheel to pull you through a corner). It actually works very well and causes this car to corner with confidence. Compared to any German counterparts, it is a great value. The lease deals on these are great! However compared to some of the other brands pushing up market like Kia and Mazda, the value proposition isn’t as strong as it once was 4-5 years ago. I would cross-shop this car with a Kia Stinger, Mazda 6, Volvo S60 or even a Nissan Maxima. Would I buy this car again? If the infotainment was upgraded and the transmission was different, I definitely would. Strong predicted reliability and a top notch service experience give you a piece of mind that few other cars can give you.

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.

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.

This car is sweet. It has plenty of horsepower for a V6 turbo. The All Wheel Drive is a must in Northeast. The Q 50 Sport is loaded with added options. People stop & look at this car everywhere I go. Trunk is small for a car this size. My Dealer at Infinity Lynbrook in Long Island was great right up until contract signing. Then the final numbers changed dramatically, even though credit was excellent. Know your numbers!

Update 10/31/22- still loving my Q50! Having owned my 2013 G37 for close to 9 years, it was beginning to show its age. Still ran like brand new, but my white bumpers were peeling and becoming discolored. My Q50 drives and feels totally different than the G37. The Q50 is much quieter and refined. I do find that the Dunlop runflats give a rough ride when cold in the morning. Steering is very light; I can swing the wheel around with my pinky. I do miss the exhaust sound; this one seems a bit more tamed from what I’m used to. Infiniti always seems to lag behind the other car brands in the tech department; but hey coming from a 2013, I have so many more options in my car now. No ventilated seats, just heated is offered. Auto remote start is standard; don’t have to pay for aftermarket. You really get the best bang for your buck with the Q50. I encourage everyone to test drive one and add it to your short list. It’s a winner in my book!

This car is often criticized for being outdated, for lacking tech, for performance. I have now owned this car for over half a year, and I noticed that as you drive this car more and more, you get more accustomed to it. Now being completely honest, their is a lot of reason why you might not like this car and there is no denying that. The steering is certainly not the most performancy but for most drivers, this will be a daily driver and it does fine. Even for more enthusiastic drives, this car still does well. Tech can certainly be overwhelming at first but in 2020 with the addition of wireless apple carplay, this makes the vehicle a lot better. Android auto is still wired at this point in time. Infiniti did a redesign in 2018 for the taillights and for the front bumper some time ago so I think it looks really nice. Another thing this car does really well is the ability to be a smooth drive. A lot of people complain that this car is numb. Again, you get used to it and see it is more relaxing than anything. It is a 7 Spd Auto trans which somehow shifts nicely. This car gives you features here and there that are simple but useful. In other words, you are not going to be getting over the top features like auto park or some fancy gizmo crap other manufacturers throw. However, if you are willing to look past that, this offers good tech that you can use or not use, simple mechanics for things. Maintenance wise, so long as you stick to the script, this vehicle will not give you any issue. The acceleration is amazing. Again, no car is perfect. This car, I will say the steering is the biggest flaw, next is the exhaust but that is a personal opinion. To me, a stock note on this car sounds like a vacuum. Nothing really exciting there. But even so from time to time this car sounds very sexy. The biggest thing I would say to get for this car is to upgrade your Heat Exchanger. Whether you plan to mod it (as this car is very mod friendly) or keep it as is, it will help prolong the life of the turbos if you upgrade the heat exchanger as this will help cooling the engine and turbos. One criticism that I can NOT forgive Infiniti for in 2020 is that their base model does not come with a great sound system. In fact. The base Luxe edition comes with a generic 6 speaker system. If you upgrade you will get a 16 Speaker Bose system. I think it is an unfair difference as the 6 speaker is very much undesirable. Having a Silver Sport Trim, you get Akebonos and the 16 Speaker standard. Excellent choice to consider. The last issue is that this car is NOT a car that you should buy if you plan to sell it fast. Infiniti is known to have very low resale values. Mine dropped about 7k just for driving it from when I got it. (It may also be the market). For future buyers, my recommendation is to look for a 2020+ model as you get Apple Carplay and Android auto. (If you do not care for that then the 2019 - will offer great prices for the car) If you prefer more sound OPT FOR THE PURE, SENSORY, OR SPORT. Sport is the best as you also get Akebono Brake Calipers! 2021 + comes standard with bose speakers so if you go up you will be fine. All in all it is not a perfect car by any means. But it is a great car and I think more often than not critics will over look it. You will not regret getting this car!

Now that the warm weather has finally arrived and Covid 19 seems to be more under control I have been venturing out more than when I purchased my Infiniti in mid November. It has the luxury that I love with the power that I love too. Both myself and my spouse love driving this car. I owned luxury cars in the past but none were as much fun to drive as the Infiniti Q50. I have no regrets for the purchase I made.

My first Infiniti. I don’t know who reviewed this car on Edmunds, but those guys always are fans of BMW’s. Let me tell you something. This car runs a lot better than a 330 or 328 with far better price. Suspension in comfortable, not like a BMW. Compare your reviews with all the reviews from happy owners. The car is fast as hell and it feels solid. Sorry Edmunds but i do not agree with your review this time. UPDATE REVIEW: Still impressed. Solid ride, wayyyyyy faster than other sedans inluding BMW and Mercedes. M series and AMG are the only ones that can keep up, but ar the expense of thousands of dollars.

My husband and I have been leasing Infinitis for over 10 years totalling to 4 Infinitis our latest 2018 q50 has been an absolute nightmare we have had 2 transmission changes , had to replace all 4 tires , our back door the lock wont open so you cant get in the back seat, we have had no accidents with this car and we have only driven 20000 miles in 3 years, a car is supposed to be reliable we have taken this car in to the shop so many times I cant even count , all while pregnant as a health worker during the pandemic when they werent giving loaner cars waiting hours for an answer and then having to figure out getting another car till ours was ready , our back door lock broke with our newborn in the back with no way to get in but climbing through the front we felt that we had a shitty broken down old car as opposed to a brand new luxury fully loaded car!! We will never again get an infinity cant wait to give this car in!!

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

So it’s my first time getting an Infiniti and wow I’m in love. First of all it drives like a dream. Coming from a Mercedes cla....now I’m driving a REAL car. Amazing pickup and boy can it take a curse nicely. Probably my favorite car I’ve ever driven. I got the silver on black. It’s sporty, it’s classy, it’s everything. Total satisfied customer!

This is my third new INFINITI Q50 Sedan. Got the S Model which I prefer with better trim, wheels and tires. 300 hp Turbo V6 offers plenty of power. Fuel mileage is average, I get 19.0-19.5 overall with a mix of City/Highway driving and I drive briskly. Premium fuel required. Interior is spacious and comfortable for 4 people. Seats are comfortable, have driven 300 miles without discomfort or fatigue. I like the blind spot warning system and the front/rear cameras. Power tilt/telescope steering wheel is great for multiple drivers as my wife is much shorter than I am. Has 2 Pre Sets for seats/mirrors etc. Love the Sun Roof. Trunk is good size for luggage. A/C works well and I live in the desert. Possible negatives: gas mileage is not great; no Hybrid or EV trims offered yet; and while I like the Styling it has not changed in quite a few yrs.

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.

For the longest time, my wife and I have been fascinated by INFINITI vehicles, to own the I series, G series (sedans and coupes), multiple Q50S and QX60 SUV's, I still think the INFINITI Q50S 3.0t AWD Sport Sedan (regular sport) is the best car for your money. Yes it might lack some "futuristic" interior trimming or exterior design but does it get the job done? Is it still satisfying? OF COURSE IT IS! Let's face it, what's not "out dated" now a days. As soon as you buy an electronic or a car for that matter, the next year there is something new about it. Not that this is a Porsche 911 or anything but performance is on par! So when driving this car, you mainly focus on the drive and handling... not some fancy interior lighting that can change to 20 different colors. Exterior design is very inspiring - from the front headlights to the taillights. My model doesnt have a carplay but it really doesnt matter because we never use it in my wife's car (2021 Subaru Ascent - review coming up soon) anyway. This is my 3rd Q50S Sport sedan and overall... I'm a happy camper, but of course there are some things that I dont like about my Q50S Sedan! The run-flat tires are nice for what it's meant to do (increase trunk cargo space) but not so much for the ride quality. Early morning/first drive for the first 10 mins or so, it sounds like I have a flat but once it warms up, the sound goes away. Not that I've taken it to the tracks or anything but the couple times I've pushed it on the ramps, you can definitely feel the loss of traction or notice that you have a set of run-flat tires on. It feels like the car is literally riding on the steel sidewalls and heaven forbid you hit a pothole or a small curb. Just the thought of it is scary! But I will say that they are pretty strong. Many times I've hit potholes so hard to have surly blown the tires or damaged the sidewall etc, but nothing came on the odometer display and didnt notice any damage on the tire/wheel either. Conclusion... I'd definitely get another one even if they dont change the body style, which I'm hopeful that they will in another 2 years! No other car can come close to the features, technology, performance and not to mention the price of this car!

This is my second infiniti, jumped from a 2016 into 2019. The ‘19 engine and turbos slightly less aggressive than my ‘16 same engine but the power delivery slightly off. Overall happy with the car. The positive is that after 60k miles no issues to speak of, just oil changes, tires and brakes. Don’t change with non oem brakes and pads they always have noise since they don’t match exactly. Suspension is compliant but could have been a little firmer especially if you push the car, transmission is good but not great. My comment on transmission is good not great is due to the engine helping the transmission since the engine is the star of the car. One issue which warrants discussion is the turbos which sometimes seem to take a little to much to spool and that makes acceleration hesitant.

If you get a deal on this car, like a clean lease return, don't think twice. It isn't perfect but damn it does what I want. We can carry four people in comfort. I can run it through the gears in absolute joy. Adjustable steering, transmission and suspension! Superb handling with the Continental Extreme Contact 06 tires( if your car has any other tire just recycle them).

Car is very small, I like that it was more of a sporty car/ flashy car. I traded it in because I'm 6ft and weigh 240 pounds I was too big for this car. I only like that it was fast, I was able to move through traffic fast but I hate that itc was too small and low to ground. I only owned car for a little over two years

Everything you expect from a good car. Ours is a Q50-S, with nicer seats, bigger wheels and brakes, and all the tech safety options you can get. Great car which gets a lot of compliments.

This is a perfect car. Its fuel consumption is ridiculously low for its size. The inside is very quiet, teh engine sound is a wonderful V6! Extremely good to drive. Beautiful shape. At the gas station people ask what it is, because it is so well-shaped. The Bose hifi is excellent. The seats are very comfortable. The various driver assistance functions work smoothly. When you liearn it to use, the cameras give real help in parking and driving backwards. The car is very fast, runs smoothly. I have the sport tech version, fully extrad. Luggage spece can be best used if you put in big bags, rather than suitcases. The fule consumprion in town is a joke: if you learn how to use the electric motor. I am not sure the finicky reviews are rightt. Except a few functions in infotainment (say, phone mirroring), the car has all the functions imaginable at the end of 2018. The car is built very well, everything matches well, no cracking or other noises inside. Insurance is reasonably priced. In town my fuel consumprion is similar to or less than in my diesel Honda Accord, 2.2, 180 bhp. The Honda Accord was also made in Japan, but you, no doubt, feel the difference. For this price, you can get nothing similar. A shame people do not know more about this car.

I was really on the fence for this car based on the negative reviews for the DAS. I am coming from a G37S sedan which I have driven for the last 6 years and absolutely love. After taking the plunge, I have to say this car is a Beast! I now have 3400 miles and truly love everything about the car(minus the Dunlop runflats). Hoping the reliability matches the G37S. Sport+ is a BLAST!
Great

With 400 horses under the hood and nice looking lines you can’t beat for the price. Yes BMW and Mercedes and others offered more but with price tag $20,000 higher.
Love my Q50s

2 months of owning this car and I love it. No issues so far just an oil change. Every time I ride around the ladies love it!
