    I love my Red Sport, I did not want/get DAS, I personally prefer a bit more feel. I did shop MB C450 AMG, BMW 340i and Audi S4, comparably equipped they were more expensive and had less horsepower. The engine is wonderful, it's not a track car like an AMG or M can be, but as a sporty luxury car (4.5 0-60) it's perfect and nothing wrong with Japanese reliability.
    Great looks, cutting edge tech, torque forever, I would do it again in a heartbeat, highly recommended.......

      ZL1Gimpelson don't get me wrong, I really like this infiniti I really do, I honestly just don't see the price justification for it.

    • @zachg9065

      Jonathan Pontel Yes, it really is pretty expensive.

      The Enthusiast agreed the q50 turns heads. I currently own A 08 infiniti g35 but I'll probably upgrade to the q50 if I can get a good deal on a used one cause I don't think it's worth it to buy brand new.

    I have to say, this review is informative and comprehensive. You can clearly make a prudent decision when buying a vehicle like this based on this review. Fantastic job.

    Hey Steve. Great review. I really like this design and the power seems really nice. Kind of suprised by the lack of LSD. However, the steer by wire seems to have improved. Also, this is certainly a more interesting option that the IS or the TLX. If it were my funds, I would go for this trim with the AWD.

  • @Trades46
    @Trades46 8 років тому +1

    Sounds like the updates address a good deal of issues with the ealier models. 400hp sounds fun as well, given its regular plain jane looks.

  • @InvestBetter.
    @InvestBetter. 8 років тому +1

    The Q50 is a very solid entry-level luxury car entry, with good value. Good looking, powerful, and agile, the only real issue I've ever heard of is this steering system. I forget if this is AWD, I think not. Has tough competition against the C43, but owners should enjoy their time here.

    • @coureurdebois
      @coureurdebois 8 років тому +3

      at no extra cost you get an infotainment system that makes CUE look like one of the most intuitive systems on the market. good job. (lets not talk about the fact that the majority of the interior is injection molds stitched either)

  • @coureurdebois
    @coureurdebois 8 років тому +6

    whoa, at 66K loaded up thats just crazy. the worst part is more than 50% of these will leave the show room floor fully optioned (according to Nissan). at that price point you might as well get a base RCF or ATSV which both offer better interior quality / materials, more performance, and more Luxury. they really messed up with such crazy price hikes.

    • @zachg9065
      @zachg9065 8 років тому +1

    • @coureurdebois
      @coureurdebois 8 років тому +2

      i'm just saying since the Q60 can reach over 66K. (just like a C63 can reach 90K) does not mean its the exact same car.

    Interested what seats are better than Volvo? Are we talking high end luxury like say Bentley, Merc S class....or are their cars lower than Volvo with great seats?

  • @benhaze1010
    @benhaze1010 8 років тому

    Steve: between a 2015 C400 and a 2016 Q50 Red Sport, which one do you feel is more entertaining to drive? A better overall proposition? A lightly used C400 can be found for about the same price as a new Q50 in my neck of the woods (or even cheaper). Tks.

    • @stevehammes
      @stevehammes  8 років тому

      Hmmm. This Q50 is certainly edgier, sportier to drive. The C400 leans more luxury. The 2015 C400 I drove was $64,200...almost $10k more. If you could get a C400 CPO for about the same price as the Q50 it might be a good prop.

    • @benhaze1010
      @benhaze1010 8 років тому

      Thanks Steve. Love your reviews so I value your opinion very much. I thought the C400 steering feel and optional air suspension may sway your opinion more toward it than the Q50. Thanks for your feedback.

    no one seems to be able to tell me if you can get a 2017/2018 red sport awd "without" the spoiler. There are pics online that show a spoiler, and pics that don't show one. i know the spoiler is very minimal, but i like the car without it. Does anyone know?????
