    Good review. I've owned two Red Sports, a 2018 and presently a 2021. The first upgrade you do is the tires and it drives/rides like a totally different car. The stock runflats suck. Horrible traction and very bad in wet weather I hyrdoplaned in the rain going 50mph and knew I had to get rid of them after 8k miles. I put some Michelin A/S3+ tires on and it handles soooooo much better. The RS is one of the best bangs for your buck for sure. Here are my thoughts: It's fast and kind of a sleeper. People are surprised sometimes when they see tail lights after trying to run you. Bose system is great. I wish the car had better brakes and cooled seats. Transmission is a little sluggish sometimes. I do like the dual screens and plenty of room in it for 5 people, which I like. People in their RT's and 392's and other folks think they're faster, but they're not, lol. Overall its a great car that has some quirks.

    I own a 2018 Infiniti Q50 Luxe with every upgrade package available for that year. Bought it used 2 months ago for $31,500 out the door with 16k miles on it.
    She is FAST, that VR30DDTT engine just pulls when those twin turbskies kick in at 1600 RPM. This is pretty much what sold me on the car; as I like to say its 0 to a speeding ticket in about 2 seconds.
    The interior is certainly outdated, the need to go to a large Tesla screen, there are 3rd party mods for that and it looks amazing. The Bluetooth is also only using SBC codecs so audio quality suffers. Speaking of which the Bose Performance series has centerpoint but its VERY FRONT biased. Part of the reason why the audio system is not all that great is due in part to the SBC codec for Bluetooth which SUCKS for audio quality, HD radio sounds decent, and if you have lossless audio files on a USB stick then you can really get a feel for the Bose system, but its still front biased, and you need to tweak it.
    ANY Q50 made before 2020 does NOT have Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, those will need to be retrofitted via 3rd party, and Infiniti InTouch services for cars 2019 and older does not exist.
    Fuel mileage with the ECO mode and Eco pedal nets me about 22 City and 31 highway. The sound dampening is ok, Lexus does it better. You can turn off that fake exhaust sound via a hidden menu, I did that on mine.
    A more practical used car choice would be a Mazda 6 Signature for around the same money. Its got less Horsepower and Torque over the Red Sport, but its pretty compelling when comparing to the NON-RS models at 250HP and 311 ft/lbs torque with a 2.5L Turbo 4. The Mazda 6 Signature also gets a Bose 12 speaker audio system with Centerpoint 2 and its NOT front biased, its surround biased and sounds excellent, the only car that flat out beats it is the 2022-2023 Acura Integra A-Spec /w Tech which has the ELS 3D system, and that is bar none the best factory audio system you can get.
    Overall I would give my 2018 LOADED Q50 Luxe a 7.5/10, its decent but dated tech wise, and its only saving grace is the performance of that VR30DDTT. If Infiniti does some chassis tweaking, transmission tweaking, and updates the interior tech then we have ourselves a winner. Seriously if the Q50 had an ELS 3D audio system, a Tesla style center screen, and LDAC Bluetooth audio, upgraded interior lighting, and a 3D HUD it would punch ABOVE its class.

    The mistake infiniti makes nowadays is that they make these nice performance cars but when you sit inside and drive there’s nothing special about them anymore. What happened to the G35/G37 days with the nice sounding stock exhaust, sporty feeling interior, etc.? I get that some japanese companies are trying to compete with the likes of BMW and MB in luxury, but its almost like they forget even MB and BMW also make some batshit crazy performance cars with sporty interiors, stupid loud exhausts, precision engine and transmissions, etc. infiniti needs to do the same with their top of the line “sportiest” car. Its a red sport 400 but aside from numbers on a paper theres not much to differentiate it from a normal car. Interior looks like a hyundai from the 2010’s 😂

Slushbox automatic as your only option, let it mist and the TC will keep cutting timing on an AWD car. I much much much more enjoyed my manual G35 in 2022 then my Q50 could ever give me. The tech was outdated in 2015, that top screen is the only thing updated and now it at least doesnt look like its from 2009.
    At 11:20 you come around that bend hot, the Q50 is the only car ive ever spun in and it was like skidding a brick on ice, completely unrecoverable once I lost control because the steering has absolutely no feedback. I cringed when you approached the limit right there.

    Left steering wheel controls control the radio Next/Previous Track. This one does not have the Performance Package so no cool exhaust or cold air intakes from AMS from Infiniti on this one. Infiniti has the same logic as the other Japanese brands. If it ain’t broke, no need to fix it. May not be the nicest, the cheapest nor the best, but it will damn last a long time. And you have a TON of aftermarket support for this VR30 platform. Also, the car loves to brake boost actually, just have to turn off the traction control past the left side of the steering wheel near your left knee
