If you watched my Lexus GS-F review, you might think that I have something against Japanese cars. But that's not the case. My first and favorite car was a 1995 Nissan Maxima and coming in close second is my Infiniti QX80. So deep down, I wanted to love this car.
To be honest, this could be the harshest word on this channel so far. 😢😢😢 Now i'm going to look down on and frown at all Infiniti owners. On the other hand, let's celebrate and have a beer party for the return of StoryMode Reviews... the one thing that makes this channel unique. 👍👍👍
I had a Q50 Red Sport coming from a G37x- which I love (the G, not the Q). I so badly wanted to love the car but ended up trading it after only 6 months as I found myself liking it less, not more. Went with a '18 M3 with Comp and Performance packages and love it more the more I drive it- the way it should be. Both the Q50 and Q60 are just a few substitutions away from being real competitors!
Flawed review. It has fastest acceleration in Sport+ in manual mode. This guy doesn't know what he's talkin about. Best bang for buck car you can get. With the same engine platform as a GTR
His review is the honest & cold truth. Frankly, the Q60RS is a Cadillac Eldorado by Infiniti. Not a bad car , this Q. But it’s not an enthusiast machine. Seeing as its predecessor was the amazing G37, that hurts. As he said, it’s not the car we need it to be.
As a 2018 Q60 owner, I have to agree. But what needs to be mentioned is that if you enjoy car for what it is? It’s great. I don’t race it or track it. I enjoy the ride, and attention the car gets. And every now and then I like to get on the gas and it goes.
Gotta say man, this is probably one of your best looking episodes. Everything from the cinematography to the storytelling to the locations. It's all beautiful. Good work. 👍
Unlike these limited, short drive impressions, I've owned a '17 Q60 Red Sport AWD since December 2016, with an MSRP of $56k USD - try to find an Audi S5, MB C63, etc. at that price point! The V37/CV37 platform (2016+ Q50/2017+ Q60) has solid aftermarket support, which I have found makes this platform an absolute blast to drive, yet a sleeper all-in-one. On the CV37 platform (coupe), Infiniti used a brand new body and engine (VR30) in 2017 (The VR30 engine won Ward's Engine of the Year when it debuted). Much of the associated running gear was sourced from the existing parts bins, but for the price-point, in baseline form it functions well for most consumers. For owners like me who want to upgrade, the 300-hp/400-hp VR30 responds well to tuning & exhaust. My Q60 puts down just under 450WHP and just over 500 WTQ on a Dynojet AWD dyno, with pump gas (no E85 or methanol adders). As for the stock Akebono brakes, a set of Motorsport pads and Z1 Motorsport 2-piece rotors helps address braking performance. In my case, I upgraded to StopTech 6-pot FRTs and 4-pot RRs w/2-piece rotors. In terms of comfort, Infiniti hit it out of the park with the Red Sport interior. I completed a 2800 mile road trip in my Q60 last year, and the seating position and support allowed long stints of seat time w/o pain or soreness. The weakness in the platform is the selection by Infiniti of the Dunlop Sport Maxx CTT RFTs on the AWD versions - absolutely kills handling, imparts a harsh ride (due to RFT sidewalls), and is the worst tire for driving in wet conditions. One of the 1st mods that should be done. In fact, if I had known then what I know now, I would have had the dealer change these out at delivery!
Well said, I feel like this guy was just bashing on Infiniti the whole time. Like you I also have an '18 Infiniti Q60, and I feel like the platform is great. All you've gotta do is throw on a tune and your problems are fix, especially with the transmission. I've got the Stage 3 package with AMS performance and just for $3000, your car gains 120+ horsepower with if you add an exhaust. Idk, this video tilted me a bit 🤷♂️
To be fair he wasnt comparing orange to oranges, its like saying... "yeah the hellcat is pretty slow too, the other day I tested a jet and it was like waaaay faster soooo yeah" the hellcat will cost you double the price and is a 700hp car and yet you say a 0-60 in 4.5 sec car is slow because the hellcat is faster... lol... i pay 29k CAD for a q60 red sport with 400 hp and its more than I could expect of a 29k car...
A few upgrades make this car shine: Exhaust: Fast Intentions Full catted downpipes & CBE. Brakes: 2 piece Brake rotors from Specialty Z with Carbotech XP10 rear, & XP12 front. Forged lightweight rims Tires 255x19 on all 4 if AWD. Tires: PS 4S's EcuTec tune HKS blowoff valves AMS heat exchanger Now you are GTG. 👍🏻
@@animox6303no it just means it shifts relatively slower comparing to bmw or Mercedes. Nothing mechanically wrong just somewhat slower than what he’s used to.
Not sure...I drove this same car as a rental while on vacation in California. Up and down from Malibu to Santa Monica and from L.A to Sequoia National Forest. I was impressed with it. I'm thinking you expected this to be an all out sports car. And it's not. It's a luxury car 1st. With a little bit of sport added to it. Enough to keep up or even pull away from your typical muscle cars. Chargers, Challengers, Mustangs. For 40k, this car isn't bad at all.
Fantastic review! I love how slow it is, the interior, the exterior and especially the cost of ownership. Coming from a BMW M3 this is just what I need and your review I found perfect. Thanks, Cheers!

I like the gorgeous autumn scenery. It blends well with the Q60. Nissan designs good looking cars. It is agreeable that this infinity is not as strong, heavy and stable as others in the class, but if you like Japanese cars and you need power, luxury, convenience, look and value, you should seriously consider the Q60.
The best 7mins I ever spent on UA-cam. Wow bro. I’m a Fan and it’s so refreshing to see an honest review with someone knows there stuff and didn’t regurgitate the same exact opinions of every other UA-camr. Great Work!!!
Good looks outside. Luxury inside. 400 HP under the hood. Japanese reliability. Sounds perfect for the 99.99% of drivers who will never go near a race track. These will be $20k cars soon enough, which is about the right time to scratch the check.
Based on this review, I'm simply going to say you are not the target audience for this thing, whatsoever. I've had sport/performance/muscle cars all my life, but these days at 46 years old, I prefer a softer ride. This thing is perfect for that, and for the money, it is hard to beat. Not to mention, it looks fantastic. I recently picked up a mint condition dealer demo 2019 Q60 AWD Luxe with 5800 miles on it for $37k. After adding a JB4 to up the boost which took 5 minutes to install, the car pretty well hauls ass by street standards. The transmission tuning sucks. Interior is comfortable and nice enough. The infotainment is dated, but to be fair it does everything I want it to do. It handles well enough, but is definitely not a track car. It is really good in the snow. The AWD system also does a great job of putting power down even when WOT in a turn, etc. Good car, I like it so far. I'm glad it is quiet, I was over loud exhaust 20 years ago.
I bought this car last week. I love it and I respect your perspective. I'm an everyday driver and coming from a Subaru WRX. To me, it felt like a whole different league of a car. Maybe next time I'll see one of your reviews and go for a german car. This is my first video on your channel
You bought the right car. I drove one today and that's coming from a 2008 G37/370gt guy with a rare 6sp manual (which I've had for 7 years). Yeah they need an exhaust to increase the drama. It's a shame it doesn't come in a manual and it isn't as exciting as my g37 which I have dialed in, but damn they pull and will pull much more with exhaust and tune. They handle very well for a GT car which is what it is, it ISN'T a sports car. What this guy completely misses is when it's YOUR MONEY knowing that the Infiniti will be a far superior ownership experience than a German car goes along way. I have treated my G37 brutally. It's never gone to a dealership, never. I service it myself. Any small issue has been an easy enough fix, including changing my own clutch. Try saying that about an Audi moneypit. Unfortunately, in Australia these are so damn rare, because Infiniti doesn't sell here anymore, I am seriously considering flying to the other end of the country to buy the car in the colour and spec I would like, there's only 3 for sale in the country. I was lucky enough to drive one today.
@@richtez2163 Sorry, I missed this notification. So I have agree with @danielleove. I had the normal WRX with a Stage 2+. The Infiniti is not sporty. No drama. Very much a GT car. I love it. 42k miles now and zero issues. I do my own oil change every 5k miles. Car is still very much new and I'm considering changing out the transmission oil. Overall, love it as a fast and comfortable ride. I enjoy RW drive cars wayy more than AWD but if you have snow they do offer an AWD version.
@@q60bdz no worries thanks for the reply tho. I’m in NYC with the STi. It’s a fun car to drive I have little over 11 k miles now but the traffic in NYC is worse now. So I’m thinking of getting into an automatic and was doing my research on what heads call the baby GTR. I just need something to get around that’s more comfort than the STi but a little kick and look to it.
The feeling when watching this is mind blowing! From the B rolls to him standing in the kitchen with the surface laptop to show the lap times. Stunning cinematic!
This is one occasion I wish I could hit the Like button more than once. Amazing review Dan and I must say thank you for showcasing my hometown so well even though you were a bit away from Montreal. Hope you enjoyed your time there, both near Rawdon and in the city itself. Great review once again only bested by the amazing cinematography.
Thanks Francois! Montreal was wonderful. I might have over-indulged a bit on the poutine but the roads in the north were quite wonderful to drive on. Hope to visit your part of Canada soon!
I owned a G37S coupe and man it was so much fun to drive. Although it was heavy, and the automatic transmission was slow, it had so much personality. So much charm; sharp steering, ridiculous exhaust that would encourage you to keep accelerating, and downshift rev matching that made even slowing down fun. Such a shame that this new model doesn’t live up to the G-coupe legacy.
Hands down one of your best reviews to date. Brutal, but it's the truth. Me personally, I wish Infiniti didn't kill off the FX line. I'd like to see you do a review on one of those even though they don't make them anymore.
Q60 is a beautifully designed car. I own a redsport. The biggest thing that holds it back is the transmission. The infotainment is dated as well. It's overpriced brand new but the used market is great for consumers. You are getting a 400hp well built car for 40k or less. It looks better than the Euro counter parts and it has high tuning potential. Instead of being a GT car they should have went more in on the sport aspect. Make it like an Audi A8. Give it better driver traits and offer digital dashes. It's a confused car that should have went more in on sport than it did. That being said I do like the car. You can tune it to be more of a sports car and you can make the transmission feel a little better with those tunes.
If you buy a brand new Infiniti you are gonna go broke lol, either lease a new one or wait a year till they loose value. That’s what I did with my Q50 that I absolutely love
Infiniti went downhill after Johan De’Nyssen. Back in ‘03, Infiniti was king with their G35 sedan/coupe. It put the Germans on their toes, but now Infiniti is at the bottom of the pack 😕 . Infiniti stopped being a sporty meaning luxury brand once the JX35/QX60 came, and the final nail in the coffin is when the QX50 went FWD with the CVT. Yes, the Q60 does sound like utter garbage now. Their VQ series V-6’s had among the best damn V-6 sound, they are only second to the Italian V-6’s.
Big Nissan/Infiniti fan. Just found your channel because I was looking into buying a Red Sport 400. I like the quality of production of your videos and subbed right away. Great content! Cheers!
Nice video, I'm getting the 2020 model in 3 years with that Android Auto. The g35 has always been my dream car but the q60 is just too sexy to pass up. I don't care if it's the fastest car, seeing the car in person is just a pleasure to see. Looks wise I think it's the best looking coupe, especially for the price.
I’ve never seen cars being reviewed like this and I gotta say I like it a lot. It’s not a long video about some ppl just walking around it for mins and mins, you show beautiful views of the car with cinematic scenes rather than seeing the car reviewer face the entire time while test driving it.., lot information on the car and how it feels and even a full pov straight line floor- nice.
This was a top-notch review. The content, cinematography (including lighting), narrating, editing, and over all artistic style was fantastic-great job! You just earned a sub.
I love the honest review,. Video quality and commentary great as well. In less than 2 years when I finish paying my G37x I’ll still go and buy a low mile used Q60RS for some low 30s or less It’s beautiful and nothing about your review bothers me much... such a beautiful car ❤️ Anyways, I’ve liked this video and subscribed. I look forward to seeing more great content/reviews from you 👍🏽
The biggest problem of this car is the transmission. You can tell the transmission is holding the car back. Infiniti needs to do something about it. Great video 👍
@@jasonn4597 ContinuousVariableTransmission.. Unless it has the 7 speed automatic from the 300z.. I think that's right it's been a while since I visited this.. CVT transmission is like driving a rubberband..
I certainly agree, I own a 2017 RS and it is more Luxury then Sport, which is why I bought it. It does feel like it should’ve came with a bit more power and an upgraded transmission but for me it was worth it.
I like the car but I love cinematic feel you gave this video. Never seen a car review this entertaining. Thumbs up from me and a subscriber. Good shit bruh.
I appreciate your review.... coming from a infiniti enthusiast myself. They are short comings. From a slush box trans to Turbos that dive on power after 5500 rpm. most of its short comings can be over ridden in the aftermarket, better pads, tires, coilover and lsd.
Boost In Motion not a lot of people who buy this car will care about that. You'll spend massively more to an already expensive car. I'd rather take another car that does the job from factory. Since the Germans are cheaper, I'd take that road
This is a beautiful car - however the transmission needs to be updated. I have the Q50S red sport, and it’s slow. Our S8 is heavier but it feels like a rocket ship compared to the Q50RS. Great video as always brother.
Yes you are absolutely right. I went from a q50 ,329 hp with this transmission to a 180 hp BMW 320i with the zf 8 speed; the 320i made the 250 feel like Lexus
I never saw it as a sports car for the brand. I saw it as a sporty GT. Not meant to be rascious like the GTR. I think it fulfills its mission for what it was designed for. They were looking at an electric performance car as their halo.
Wow what an awesome video man. Great editing and content. Love it, especially the perspective of reviewing the car from a 'is it fun' standpoint. Thanks for making this

@@q60bdz no worries thanks for the reply tho. I’m in NYC with the STi. It’s a fun car to drive I have little over 11 k miles now but the traffic in NYC is worse now. So I’m thinking of getting into an automatic and was doing my research on what heads call the baby GTR. I just need something to get around that’s more comfort than the STi but a little kick and look to it.
The feeling when watching this is mind blowing! From the B rolls to him standing in the kitchen with the surface laptop to show the lap times. Stunning cinematic!
Man, the way how you've put this video together, great job!
I have a Q60S and I love it
This is one occasion I wish I could hit the Like button more than once. Amazing review Dan and I must say thank you for showcasing my hometown so well even though you were a bit away from Montreal. Hope you enjoyed your time there, both near Rawdon and in the city itself. Great review once again only bested by the amazing cinematography.
Thanks Francois! Montreal was wonderful. I might have over-indulged a bit on the poutine but the roads in the north were quite wonderful to drive on. Hope to visit your part of Canada soon!
This is hands down the BEST car review I’ve ever watched.
Man I swear you have the best voice and demeanor in motoring journalism. I always enjoy watching your reviews
This was edited like a movie, lol. I'm intrigued.
I can listen to this voice all days long.
I owned a G37S coupe and man it was so much fun to drive. Although it was heavy, and the automatic transmission was slow, it had so much personality. So much charm; sharp steering, ridiculous exhaust that would encourage you to keep accelerating, and downshift rev matching that made even slowing down fun. Such a shame that this new model doesn’t live up to the G-coupe legacy.
Hands down one of your best reviews to date. Brutal, but it's the truth. Me personally, I wish Infiniti didn't kill off the FX line. I'd like to see you do a review on one of those even though they don't make them anymore.
I got a fx45. Had it for 7 years and love it
*A++* on your filming, editing, and voice over!
Finally someone who’s honesty! Definitely subscribing
i really like how you film these videos
Q60 is a beautifully designed car. I own a redsport. The biggest thing that holds it back is the transmission. The infotainment is dated as well. It's overpriced brand new but the used market is great for consumers. You are getting a 400hp well built car for 40k or less. It looks better than the Euro counter parts and it has high tuning potential. Instead of being a GT car they should have went more in on the sport aspect. Make it like an Audi A8. Give it better driver traits and offer digital dashes. It's a confused car that should have went more in on sport than it did. That being said I do like the car. You can tune it to be more of a sports car and you can make the transmission feel a little better with those tunes.
This is probably the best car review I’ve ever seen
First time watching your video and the cinematography, and sound is just perfect. One of the best car review I've seen in a while.
I love my Q60RS, best looking of the bunch, fast as hell all done with comfort and style.
Dude this video is top notch. So professional and well spoken, keep up the great work and never stop filming 😍
This is probably one of the better looking Japanese cars on the road today, but you're absolutely right, it's not worth the money. Total shame too.
Q70
Only One that’s beautiful tbh
If you buy a brand new Infiniti you are gonna go broke lol, either lease a new one or wait a year till they loose value. That’s what I did with my Q50 that I absolutely love
@@VenomousVitamin not me...
Only One you could save money! Who doesn’t like saving money?!?
when you are on the gas and manual mode the shifts are quick and firm in mine
Man gotta say i agree. The g35/g37 was a better all around car.
My 06 g35x is more raw & thicker gauge metal. My 14 q50s is very nice but metal gauge is thinner you can hear it when you shut the doors!
Infiniti went downhill after Johan De’Nyssen. Back in ‘03, Infiniti was king with their G35 sedan/coupe. It put the Germans on their toes, but now Infiniti is at the bottom of the pack 😕 . Infiniti stopped being a sporty meaning luxury brand once the JX35/QX60 came, and the final nail in the coffin is when the QX50 went FWD with the CVT. Yes, the Q60 does sound like utter garbage now. Their VQ series V-6’s had among the best damn V-6 sound, they are only second to the Italian V-6’s.
I have a Infiniti 2005 g35x and I love it! And the body style is more sporty than newer models
Ill never sell my g37
Miss my g37xS sedan. Thing was an animal
Big Nissan/Infiniti fan. Just found your channel because I was looking into buying a Red Sport 400. I like the quality of production of your videos and subbed right away. Great content! Cheers!
subbed because of the way this video was setup, like a movie and the editing was really nice.
Nice video, I'm getting the 2020 model in 3 years with that Android Auto.
The g35 has always been my dream car but the q60 is just too sexy to pass up. I don't care if it's the fastest car, seeing the car in person is just a pleasure to see. Looks wise I think it's the best looking coupe, especially for the price.
I'm surprised this review hasn't changed your mind
@@madhatresearcher7995 it just stands out vs all the other coupes for the price especially.
@@JuanPablo-ww5cp Get a wagon 😏
A performance wagon
Definitely a looker probably the best looking coupe on the market. Too bad the performance doesn't match the looks though
@@madhatresearcher7995 I thought about that too for practicality, but the q60 is just different when you see one.
I appreciate the production quality. I also enjoyed the tastefully dramatic take on a review.
I love my q60 and would not hesitate to buy one again.
I’ve never seen cars being reviewed like this and I gotta say I like it a lot. It’s not a long video about some ppl just walking around it for mins and mins, you show beautiful views of the car with cinematic scenes rather than seeing the car reviewer face the entire time while test driving it.., lot information on the car and how it feels and even a full pov straight line floor- nice.
This was a top-notch review. The content, cinematography (including lighting), narrating, editing, and over all artistic style was fantastic-great job! You just earned a sub.
What great writing and narrating for this video. I applaud you my man.
I love the way you narrate your video! 📷☺️
I just love it
I love the honest review,. Video quality and commentary great as well. In less than 2 years when I finish paying my G37x I’ll still go and buy a low mile used Q60RS for some low 30s or less
It’s beautiful and nothing about your review bothers me much... such a beautiful car ❤️
Anyways, I’ve liked this video and subscribed. I look forward to seeing more great content/reviews from you 👍🏽
The biggest problem of this car is the transmission. You can tell the transmission is holding the car back. Infiniti needs to do something about it. Great video 👍
Wish it came with a dual clutch transmission
At least it's not a CVT!!
@@maryrobinson4131what’s a CVT?
@@jasonn4597 ContinuousVariableTransmission.. Unless it has the 7 speed automatic from the 300z.. I think that's right it's been a while since I visited this.. CVT transmission is like driving a rubberband..
The key word here are “bolt ons” I like that Infiniti has a lot of after market parts
I certainly agree, I own a 2017 RS and it is more Luxury then Sport, which is why I bought it. It does feel like it should’ve came with a bit more power and an upgraded transmission but for me it was worth it.
Perhaps the best reviewer out there
I like the car but I love cinematic feel you gave this video. Never seen a car review this entertaining. Thumbs up from me and a subscriber. Good shit bruh.
Usually Canadian TV/Movies are significantly worse than American ones, but this video blows most US car reviewers out of the water. Great video
Your camera and video setting is amazing 🤩
I appreciate your review.... coming from a infiniti enthusiast myself. They are short comings. From a slush box trans to Turbos that dive on power after 5500 rpm. most of its short comings can be over ridden in the aftermarket, better pads, tires, coilover and lsd.
Boost In Motion not a lot of people who buy this car will care about that.
You'll spend massively more to an already expensive car. I'd rather take another car that does the job from factory.
Since the Germans are cheaper, I'd take that road
The biggest problem is the curb weight is too heavy of a car which causes all the issues you are mentioning
@@madhatresearcher7995 German cars are less reliable especially if its bmw
Trey Byrd Infiniti currently is no better.
@@madhatresearcher7995 that's not what I hear about infinity. If Lexus is an A in reliability than from what's been stated Infiniti would be a B
Amazing review. You’ve got such a good voice. So elegant and detailed
So far ur the most honest UA-camr I’ve seen 😂
I hope you are a videographer for a good company. Don’t let these skills go unnoticed!
Love the story you've added to this episode and what a beautiful mountain road!
Dude thank you so much for this honest review I owe you one, and seriously this is what I was want to hear a pors
So you compared it to s5 and an amg?
Both which are way more expensive LOL got it.
Editing and story telling in this review was 🔥🔥🔥🔥, felt like I was watching an HBO documentary.
Can you please review all the cars you get your hands on this way. This is hands down the most innovative way to review !!
I absolutely love my 2018 Q60 Red Sport 400 S Twin Turbo!
This is a beautiful car - however the transmission needs to be updated. I have the Q50S red sport, and it’s slow. Our S8 is heavier but it feels like a rocket ship compared to the Q50RS. Great video as always brother.
That S8 is a beautiful machine :)
Yes you are absolutely right. I went from a q50 ,329 hp with this transmission to a 180 hp BMW 320i with the zf 8 speed; the 320i made the 250 feel like Lexus
Understandable, the s8 makes about 200 more hp. That’s a big difference.
Manny Hernandez but only weighs a ton more
SiiCkLyXXAmAZiiNG it weighs about 600-1000 lbs more
I never saw it as a sports car for the brand. I saw it as a sporty GT. Not meant to be rascious like the GTR. I think it fulfills its mission for what it was designed for. They were looking at an electric performance car as their halo.
I got a lot of respect for the total honesty…even though the car looks absolutely great💯 but like your reviews man👍
Bruh this thing flies idk what you talking about I been in many regular q60s and they’re pretty fast
Hands down my favorite car reviewer
just came across your channel, love the way you do your videos. good work.
Better looking than a GTR. And Props to all the guys and gals behind this channel for making a killer video.
I don't even like the car ..but man the kinda of videos u make keeps me hooked with ur content ❤️❤️✌️
