Dreams come true
Live in Minneapolis need a AWD vehicle and want one that is sporty and fun to drive. Ruled out the Camaro (though car of choice, no AWD), Mustang, Challenger (impressive but simply way too much car for me though AWD. It is the true muscle car). Narrowed search to Audi A5, BMW & the Infiniti Q60. Opted for the Q60 based on repair concerns. BMW & Audi are way to proprietary and need attention of the dealership alone, Q60 comes with all the perks but without the mechanical intricacies of the Audi & BMW allowing my local mechanic to do maintenance as needed. Plus the price is much more competitive.
Buyer beware!
I bought this car used from Carmax. They sold it to me saying it still had a factory 60k warranty. The car had 33000 miles. Carmax did an oil change on it when they got it. Had an issue a month in and had it towed to Carmax. The car lost power and was in limp mode. Carmax subbed the work to Infiniti. Infiniti couldn’t replicate the issue (P011) and gave the car back to me. Had squealing a couple months later and they replaced the belt tensioner. I followed the recommended 10k/12mos oil change. Had it done at Carmax. A couple months ago 49k miles now, the car started overheating. No check engine lights, no codes. Towed it to Infiniti and they said I needed to provide the maintenance records from the first owner or they would deny the warranty. Their denial letter says lack of maintenance is their reason for denial. Well, I don’t have them so I asked Carmax to step in with my maxcare warranty I purchased. They are denying to do any work either. Now I have a $27000 lawn ornament. Infiniti won’t listen to me plead my case on their car. How did they not catch this issue with the first visit? Never buy Infiniti again. And buyer beware at Carmax.

Beautiful looking and handling!
Upon purchasing my 2017 Q60, I received over a dozen compliments within a weeks time. The steering is precise and instills a sense of confidence. All controls are placed perfectly placed, the stereo and features are easy to touch maneuver and the upgraded speakers are great, the seats and settings allow for comfort at all ranges (all my friends have confirmed this). Cons: None as of May 2019, which is the day this was written.

Simple and Sweet
EXTERIOR: People have stopped me in parking lots, honked in traffic, and just stared. The exterior could not look any better 11/10 INTERIOR: How can you miss the market by 4 years with not having apple carplay or android auto? That is incomprehensible for a luxury brand? I know it is coming for the 2021 models, but undescribable how you can possibly miss that. Can't tell you how interested I would be to see the data on the people who like the setup for the dual monitors. It isn't what it displays, but I haven't seen anyone in the past 5 years use the GPS provided by the manufacturer. Who approves this kind of design? WAZE integration. TRANSMISSION: Either feels like the fastest thing on the market or slowest, most unpredictable. A car for this money should have a dual-clutch. Even in manual mode, the software will override and seem like its in automatic. BACKUP CAMERA: Without the expensive assist package, it has similar backup "lanes" as my mom's 2013 honda minivan... PERFORMANCE: Sits pretty low and has good ride control. Can switch in and out of lanes quick and firm SPORTS CAR FEEL: Not really. Has the looks for it, but you feel let down by the technology. Switching between the different drive modes doesn't offer enough difference to feel like you're getting your money's worth.

All around awesome coupe!!
I had B8 S4, N55 135i and mk6 Golf R with stage 2 and lot of other cars... but I really think this 3.0T Q60 Awd(non Red sport) accelerates and turns better. Puts out 100% touque to the rear and turns better than 135i. Also with driver assist package makes it much safer feeling and it's a frickin sexy luxury car. I'm extremely satisfied.

Glad I rented it before buying it - Beware
I rented a pretty sweet Infiniti Q60 with the 6-cylinder/300HP engine over the long weekend. Drove about 1,000 miles over Wyoming and Utah, exposed to city and country driving. Interior: Very comfortable but the quality and fit/finish doesn't match up to the Germans. It actually doesn't match up to the quality of fit and finish of my 2012 VW GTI. Exterior: FREAKING BEAUTIFUL. This has to be most beautiful and attention grabbing design within the 50-60K price bracket (save for a Mustang). Everyone takes double looks and it definitely appears like a 100K car. Performance: Straight line performance is amazing, could have a nicer exhaust, but there are several aftermarket solutions without making it sound ricer. Now for the part why I would NOT recommend this car - Steering and Safety: The steering has a mind of it's own - I was constantly making minor corrections on a straight piece of highway doing the speed limit (70 MPH). It seems like the adaptive steering tries to second guess the driver, but as the driver, you don't expect the car to make that correction by itself so you either end up overcorrecting or jerking/lurching the car. Lane changes on the highway became difficult. THE WORST PART - When doing 70MPH in moderate rain, this car almost wiped out. This was again, on a straight piece of road, the steering system twitched and sent the car into a near wipeout, as I almost lost the rear end of this AWD car. I ended up bringing it back in control, but never felt comfortable driving it again, especially since I had my wife in the car and wiping out at 70MPH would have definitely injured (or worse) us both. Absolutely do not recommend this car - I have driven econoboxes that would do better in the rain at these speeds (including my elantra, civic) as well as my amazing (now even more so) VW GTI

Sleek, sexy, and seductive
First of all, this is our fourth Infiniti. My wife and I like the brand a lot. We had two EX35's (too long in the tooth now despite some recent upgrades), and a Q50 sedan (one of the first). The sedan suffered from excessive wind noise from around both front doors....very irksome on the Interstate after a while. Apparently many Q50's suffered a similar problem (the Q60 suffers a bit but I can live with it). Apart from that the Q50 was an excellent car with great performance. Lease was almost up and Infiniti offered to make the last three payments for us if we got another car. What I like about Infiniti (and Lexus also) is that their designs are so good that they don't need to keep changing them. The previous coupe was around for a long time so if you keep the Q60 for 6 years you still have a current design. We leased again. My wife is a realtor and wants to look professional when she turns up for appointments. My opinion of the design of the new Q60 coupe....gorgeous; the only way to describe it and better in the flesh than in the photos (where it still looks darned good). The proportions are perfect, the stance just right, the alloy wheels....stunning. We have the pearlescent (Majestic) white which looks just awesome. Definitely better in a light color because of the beautiful dark allows which pop against the white paintwork. Perfection on wheels. I was concerned about poor vision and blind spots in the coupe but actually it is not an issue at all. The car is a joy to drive with the 300hp engine. It sits purposefully lower than the sedan and rides on 19in wheels so it is a little firm but the steering is excellent (the Q50 was a little lifeless and vague) and the car is plenty responsive. Minimal turbo lag. Too early to comment on gas mileage but I don't expect much of an improvement over the sedan. Most of our journeys are fairly short so that will do us no favors. At the end of the day, the 3 year old Q50 sedan only had 19000 miles so we will not be high mileage drivers even when my Mazda lease is up and we don't replace it to become a one car household. I work from home exclusively now so a second car is not required. Anyway, we love this Q60. Any car that brings a smile to my face is going to be good. That doesn't happen too often. My Audi S3 in England had the same effect. So, anyone in the market for a hot-looking coupe with more than enough power and refinement, get a Q60. You won't regret it...totally beautiful car.

Head Turning Sports Car
I traded a 2014 Corvette on the 2017 Q60....although completely different vehicles, I have much better ease of access with the Q60. Accelaration is fast, super fast. A great vehicle for driving in today's Interstate traffic.Still waiting on the crash ratings, but I feel very safe in the vehicle. If you are considering a true sports car with related performance, do yourself a favor and test drive the Q60. Lee Shore, Charlotte, NC

A coupe like no other!
What do I mean by a coupe like no other? Just that. As I was shopping for a new coupe, it came down to 3 cars. The A5 and BMW 430i came really close to cutting it but the Q60 was just a bit more attractive to look at. There are multiple cons about the vehicle but also a lot of pros that helped me decide on this car. My biggest issue was the fact that here you have such a handsome car paired to an infotainment that isn't as advanced as something you'd get in a Camry. The double screen is a very nice design but the top screen does minimal stuff (mainly for the navigation IF equipped). There is no Apple Carplay or Android Auto available. I payed $51,000 for this car and it does not have Apple Carplay. Same goes for my Infiniti Q50. They share the same infotainment center. Infiniti needs to step up their game with the technology. They're starting to come up as a legitimate luxury brand. They still have some ways to go before being fully competitive against rivals like Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, ETC,. Also the fact that at that price range there is no heated seats and remote start was a bit of a bummer. Also, Infiniti's new technology used for the steering is a bit too new and I keep that in consideration when I say the car is always a bit late in responsiveness when steering. It's as if you steer and the car has too think for a half a second to do it. It may seem like nothing but believe me, you definitely feel it when driving. Aside from all of that, the car overall is built very nicely. There are so many soft touch surfaces in the car and Infiniti does a good job at keeping away cheap plastic. My Q60 came standard with Bose Performance Series audio system which was very nice touch. The outer exterior of the car is simply gorgeous. From the headlights to the side of the car and following through to the back, this car (to me at least) has no bad angle. Also a 300hp 3.0 twin turbo helps make driving quite the adventure. So if you're considering a new coupe take it from me. It's not a perfect car and it has it's flaws...HOWEVER...its a very nice car that will get you compliments and you don't see them on the road as much. Plenty of power for fun driving although the car does feel a little heavy. Even with it's quirks, I would in a hearbeat get another Q60. I honestly enjoy driving it and I think it makes for a very solid choice as a coupe option.

problems with the infotainment system
I've owned 4 Infiniti coupe's, starting with the g35 and I have liked all of them, but after the g35 the quality of the interior has always been disappointing. My current 2017 q60 3.0t has had issues with the infotainment system since I first drove it off the lot. Had it in to the dealership 2 times over the past 2-years, they can't figure it out and blame my iPhone. but I have had 2 different iPhones over this 2-year period and I've tried 5 different cables and the system reboots even when the iPhone is not attached, but they still blame the iPhone. What I have finally learned is Infiniti is really nice but not worth the price, I will never buy a new one again, I will consider certified used Infiniti's ( the problems with the infotainment system are that it randomly reboots, sometimes after just a few minutes but mostly after an hour+ of driving. )

Gorgeous car, but some poor design choices
It's a gorgeous car! It drives like a dream on side roads or smooth highways. It's super comfortable to drive and the safety features are awesome. I can't imagine ever again owning a car without the around-view camera - it makes parking, merging in slow traffic, and squeezing into tight areas SO easy. However, the tires track too much to imperfections on the highway, pulling the car around the lane in construction zones or in the rain. The instrumentation and control panel are unnecessarily complicated. It takes too much attention away from driving to use the navigation and respond to texts (3 clicks and then only a predetermined list of responses you scroll through with more clicks). The location of the center buttons and seat belt holder behind the seat are clearly designed for a tall person. The trunk is tiny and awkward - on a recent road trip we squeezed two suitcases into the trunk and put our backpacks and groceries in the back seats which was inconvenient.

Beware steering system twitch
I am glad to be here writing this review. Also very glad to read RohanB revuew confirming what happen to me (see his review here to). Like RohanB I was renting this car and had my son with me. I was less fortunate than RohanB I ended up hitting the guard rail and spinning around luckily did not hit any other vehicle. Just like his review going down highway it was raining. If I recall right I was just easily sliding into middle lane and then it went hard right and felt like hydroplaning. I have been driving for almost 30 years. I am not a speeder no speeding ticket since my teenage years. Thank God the other safety features was awesome in the car. We both got out okay...my son had a few bruises...but we are alive and well. I do have the headache of dealing with an out of state wreck but will take that vs other options! There is your PSA from me stay away from adaptive steering technology. Perhaps 99% ok but it's the 1% that matters when it's life or death. I had no idea I was renting a car with that technology. Hert had a row of cars to pick from and since I was with my son we picked the cool looking car! It sure was cool looking. Lesson learned do quick review of car safety issues before picking car at rental.

Great combo car.
This is a great car if you are looking for a combination of sporty and luxe with good acceleration and great looks. It turns heads. Even like it better than Mercedes SL55AMG I recently sold. The AWD was a key factor in looking at this car for the occasional snow we get in Denver.

Great upgrade from the G37
I just upgraded from my G37-sport, and I love the Q60. This is a better car in every way. I'm not sure why the critics hate this car, because the car is great. The fun factor is through the roof. Don't buy the 2.0t, you will miss the V6 3.0t. I bought the Q60 3.0t base model (msrp$45k) for $7k off. This is the best drivers car under $40k, except for the Mazda Miata.

70K Engine Failure
The evening of April 17th, 2022, I started experiencing an issue with my vehicle. My car started making a fluttering noise it sounded like someone was shuffling a deck of cards and the RPMs would get to 3 during acceleration then drop and I’d lose power. There were no warning lights present, no notification or indicators on my dash, no odors, and no smoke emitting from my car. I parked my car at home not knowing what the issue was or where the noise was coming from. The next morning, I called to schedule an appointment and I booked with Infiniti in Timonium. After scheduling my appointment, I went out to check my car and when I started it the noise was still there. It ran for a few seconds then my check engine light cut on. Looking to get a pre-diagnosis to have additional info about the condition of my car I take it to Autozone on liberty road to have codes pulled. The codes that came back were P0014 and P0024 both camshaft codes. However, there were still no other symptoms of odor or smoke just the fluttering noise and now my check engine light. On the way back home my car stalls at Liberty Road and Rolling Road and won’t cut back on. I contacted AAA and had it towed to Infiniti the same day. I was assigned to Sean Bonnie as my service advisor. The car was at Infiniti in Timonium for close to a month when Sean reached out to notify me of the presence of sludge and metal shavings in my oil pan and my engine being seized. He was adamant that it came from a lack of maintenance. I was using my third-party warranty and they requested that I send proof of maintenance. I submitted my maintenance invoices to Sean, and he forwarded them to my Warranty Company. I provided invoices for my last 3 oil changes because I wasn’t due for a fourth for another 6-700 miles. I bought my car at 35,796 miles and I’m currently at 70,042 (42 miles out of the power train warranty). My warranty company requested a tear down to determine what caused my engine to seize so that they could determine if the cause of failure was something my extended warranty covers. Sean stated that Infiniti refused the tear down because they didn’t want to tie up one of their bays that long to perform the tear down which would be at my expense if my warranty doesn’t cover it. I agreed that if they did decide to tear it down, I would accept liability for the tear down because I was confident, that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect or a malfunction because my maintenance was done on the manufacturers outlined intervals. Infiniti still refused. During the time I worked with Infiniti I requested photos of the contents of my oil pan, Sean advised no pictures were taken of the contents of my oil pan and according to my warranty company there was no mention of the metal shavings. After reaching out to consumer affairs to express my concerns with how this case was being handled and not receiving any type of assistance, I went to Infiniti to have my car towed to a mechanic to have it torn down. Once I arrived, they presented me with a $3,000 invoice for diagnostics (dropping the oil pan) that they didn’t provide me any documentation of showing what they discovered to accurately diagnose what caused my engine to seize. Nationwide allowed me to take my car without paying for the diagnostic fee since we agreed that the problem couldn’t have been properly diagnosed without removing and inspecting the engine. I followed Infinitis 10k maintenance schedule, it killed my car and they refuse to assist.2023 update still fighting with everybody and their mom about this bum ass engine.

PAINT DEFECTIVE
Paint defective on 2017 Infinity Q 60. Took it to the autobody manager at the dealer he said Infinity has had issues with the paint not curing properly. Paint is soft., I have 15,000 miles and big chips out of the paint on the hood due to road driving. Never had this ever with any other sports car I have owned. Ive had cars with over 100,000 miles on them and they didnt look this bad. My Q60 paint is Royal blue. Recently had a bug on the paint hood for 2 days it sat on the hood, No way to get the stain off the paint. Tried multiple polishes, McGuires, etc. I just sold my sons Mitsubishi eclipse with bright red paint. Its a sports car over 100,000 miles the hood looks better than this infinity. The dealer wont cover the paint issue. Warranty or not. If you buy an infinity get the plastic wrap on it. I wish I had. Im getting rid of it. Never again will I buy an infinity - the paint is substandard crap quality. I traded in a Ford explorer for this car the paint was better.

Worst tires ever!!!!!!
I’ve had infinities for 10 yrs and by far the 2017 infinity q60 tires are the worst! Its 1 1/2 yrs old and I’ve had 3 flats already , the tires are costly over 500 dollars , I am no speed demon and watch where I drive because when you hit a bump you know the lights are beaming flat tire ! flat tire ! Pull over it’s frightening to say the least and than you know the next day is shot trying to find who’s has the tire in stock ! Which is my dilemma now ! Hate the tires. BEWARE ! You need your own little fund for the tires you are going to replace and that’s a fact ! 1600 in the hole already with this model !
She loves it.
She looks good in it. And she likes that😊. Nothing much else to say.
Sexy and sporty
If you're finished with utilitarian vehicles and want a well performing head turner look no further.
