Both really nice cars - would be difficult to choose if it came down to it! I think I like the Lexus a bit more aesthetically but like the performance of the Infiniti more. I'd probably lean towards the IS just because it is a Lexus and should be very reliable.
From what I heard, Infiniti's new infotainment system is VERY glitchy and takes a long time to load once making a selection. That's a problem, since the climate controls are on the lower screen. I do agree that the Infiniti does have the nicer interior, but the refreshed 2017 Lexus IS has a nicer interior than the pre-refresh model.
+Lumineux Umbreon My father bought one of the first Q50's in Florida when it came out in 2014, and that car's infotainment system was very laggy indeed. He upgraded to a 2016 Q50 Red Sport a few months ago and it has greatly improved. It seems to me that they've fixed most issues revolving around it.
The Q50 2.0T does not come equipped with the Direct Adaptive Steering system from Infiniti. I am not sure how you can make a comment on the steering not feeling "real." The one that was demonstrated has an actual steering column. As all conventional non-technological cars have.
Wow! Surprised not that Infiniti did so well but that Lexus did poorly. Lexus quality has always been the great. Highway driving always smooth. But they need to up their game when it comes to driving dynamics. Its 2016 and there is significant turbo lag. Inexcusable.
This are both great cars, the Infiniti has a more attractive interior and exterior, while the Lexus is easily the more reliable car once you get over the 100k mark.
Sorry Roman! I'm pretty sure that the 2.0t is NOT available with the Direct Adaptive Steer. You were driving a traditional power steering model. I owned a 2014 3.7; I agree, it was a terrible system. I much preferred the old G37 setup.
There's a lot of talk about turbo lag with the Lexus. Have you guys ever thought about changing down so you stay in the power band❓The car has got, I believe, an eight speed gearbox, it shouldn't be difficult‼️😐😐😐
Indeed, but as you probably ken till now, their gear changing abilities do lack enormously. Which one would you rather, though? Oh, and I have finished my exams, results are due on 11th of July ... Hopefully we've done alright!
Nik Brudar The majority of US car presenters do seem to struggle with the idea of changing up and down when going through the twisty bits. I've always quite liked Lexus cars, but I'm not keen on either of these models. Exams over, the pressure's off, and you can kick back and relax. Life is worth living again. I'm sure you've done well‼️ Don't forget to let me know.😃😃😃
MrKeyboardCommando It's hard to comprehend why they choose automatics, but then again, their straight endless roads are fairly tedious already, so why not make them even more boring with an omission of having to change gears, press the clutch pedal, think etc. and rather focus on by far the most important thing while driving - texting. Indeed, the pressure is off! Although I'm still anxious and worried as to find out I haven't done well enough.. Will keep you updated.
Nik Brudar To be honest, I don't understand the US obsession with cars. Their cars are awful and they have very, very few good driving roads; so why do they bother⁉️ The time between sitting exams and knowing the results is fraught with doubt and uncertainty, but don't worry, you'll have done well. And, please keep me updated.😎😎😎
MrKeyboardCommando With some bright exceptions, their cars are indeed rubbish, so are the roads. But, to be frank, British roads are a pain in the ass too, as I've heard ;P Thanks for positivity and endorsement. Sure thing!
I drove a q50 with that steer by wire system for a couple days, and really put it through it's paces. Just about the only thing i didn't like with the car was the steering. It was obviously programmed to make the car feel really sporty when driving/cornering casually. But, when the car actually is pushed hard in the corners it becomes obvious that steering wheel isn't connected to the wheels: just a vague, disconnected feeling. The two older G35's that i have owned have far superior steering for both casual and aggressive driving. I will not be buying any Infiniti cars with steer by wire.
Love the Lexus ! Looks like nothing else on the road. Amazing design. Good race but like they said better would do better the Lexus would def do better with a better driver. Props to Lexus for building their own turbo engine and not out sourcing to another brand. Also props to the Lexus for great driving feel. The steering system on the Infiniti is a no go. One thing that did confuse me was the less powerful Infiniti being faster.. It could be due to the Lag in the Lexus Turbo engine.
Heyu Yoma Not you. The Toyota4Life kid that goes on EVERY video on youtube talking shit on other cars and praising Toyota. Even when the Toyota/Lexus loses, he finds a stupid reason to give praise. I actually +1d your comment lol I've talked to this idiot a million times on TH-cam. And he always has something to say. I find my bedroom wall more understanding and intelligent.
I’d still choose Lexus because the Infiniti could never Out last a Lexus and it doesn’t even come with a LSD. Besides it has a Mercedes engine! Lexus will always win in my book
its amazing that they opted to put a 2.0T in the Infiniti, you can tell how much less power it has compared to the 3.7L. I wouldn't trade my G37 unless it was for the 3.0T but even that can be debatable since you would be going from NA to Turbo.
You might as well buy the Camry if you JUST want reliability because they're the same chassis... The Q50 is completely different than the Altima which makes the Q50 impressive
Rod H. : Its the same thing. Lexus is a vamped up version with more competitive options within its market. Were talking about reliability though, if thats what someones looking for, the Camry XLE V6 model is suitable. Most people that can afford a new lexus can afford its upkeep, maintenance and dont really care about reliability since they're somewhat wealthier than the common person...
I just got this car. Feeling Confident...I am a driver but don’t have extreme need for speed so I can avoid tickets that have plagued me in the past lol
The amount of actual influence that Vettel actually had on tuning the Infiniti, probably not that much. Whatever happened to that Vettel edition Infiniti FX50? Nobody ever seems to have reviewed one. I guess they were released, they had a big press thing about it, then I never saw one reviewed or advertised for sale.
I would pick the q50 because of the looks, it really doesn't have a bad angle Lexus will probably last longer but the people who buy these cars could care less about longevity and more about driving fun
The Q50 without the sport package looks terrible in my eyes. The IS...the predator grille is an acquired taste. I still think the Cadillac ATS & especially the new Jaguar XE beats them both. Yet still they are all cheaper than the Germans.
i would chosose the lexus IS 350 only because I can get cooled seats, i dont know why its not an option on the infiniti it would really help the car get an edge over its competition
Infiniti has done a great job! The Lexus prices are too high. Toyota should sell that car as an Altezza and put a reasonable looking grill on it. What market is this overpriced underpower Lex? I'd seriously prefer the mid-grade Accord Hybrid - or Any Infiniti!!!
If you buy a Lexus, you can expect to get one of the best road cars in the world: comfortable, lush, a little bit fun, adequate power, reliable, good efficiency, high resale value. But buying a Infiniti, you aren't getting the best of anything: not the most comfy, not the most powerful, not the fastest, not the most fun, not the most reliable, not the most attractive, etc. It just doesn't shine on the road, race tracks, or car meets. If one really wants fun and reliability, lease a better drivers' car and own a practical road/family car.
cars arent just for power, everybody thinks that they race everyday to work, people buy luxury for comfort, gas mileage, looks, if u want sport car get a gtr.........in real life people who buy iphone is not for power, is for status and look
These new Lexus cars are so trash when it comes to performance. This car has more power than the Infiniti and it's still slower than a turtle. 3583 lbs car with a 4 cylinder smdh. Shame on Lexus.
+Jeff K that 3.0T would be on the IS350 instead. It makes no sense because BMW 328i has a 2.0T with 240hp 255 lb-ft torque 0-60 5.5 second. Same with Mercedes c300 and Audi A4 but the Lexus does it in 7.5 second, they all weight around the same too so IS200T is a waste of money.
Lexus performance has never been that great in general especially for the comparative price. Heck, the up coming Lexus LC is supposed to get about 4.4 second 0-6 for 100k+, the new Infiniti Q50 Red Sport does the same 0-60 for more than half the cost. Of course, that new Lexus LC Is pretty sexy! Though I feel the best bang for your buck out of these all is the Q50 Hybrid, gets 0-60 between 4.6-4.9 seconds, for 49k and you get 30mpg average.
That is the LC's base engine, compare that to a BMW 640i and MB S550 coupe, I'd say it's pretty good. Later on there will be an LC-F which is supposed to have 600hp+, I'm sure that will be a beast.
Heyu Yoma The LFA was a beast. The IS-F was ok. The RC-F and GS-F are well they have a V8. Lexus still makes smooth, refined, high quality vehicles, but that doesn't mean they can't have sporty vehicles. Journalist and everyone who drove it said the GS is one of the best handling vehicles in its class. I will agree the RC-F and GS-F aren't up to par with the competition, but with the LC I feel Lexus has gotten there act together. Especially with these new turbocharged and supercharged engines.
+sic22l I don't know I just have had them in the past. I know I shouldn't be basing new cars off of my bad experiences but that's what people do. If it was the q50 with the 3.7 then I would rather have that. But not the 2.0
I really regret the day I bought the infiniti. The car didn’t exceed 30k miles and I’m on my second engine and don’t let me start with the electrical malfunctions. I wish I had the lexus IS200t
Mercedes deliberately gave them the lower end engine to protect their own products; can't have a competitor with your own engine being faster than you own car now can they?
Lexus IS models are slow as turtles lmao. The Infiniti by far the superior car period. If u disagree well that's your bad. And go drive that boring and ugly Lexus. That car is 💩💩💩. The Infiniti runs circles on that. Owner of q60 right here so yeah. 🙂
I sold my new 2013 G37x sedan 1.5 years after the purchase. Lumbar support broke, AWD system became noisy, auto level on one lamp broke, on and on. It was under warranty, so I sold it!
As someone who used to work at Infiniti- Get the Lexus. The Infiniti is a car that's eternally cynical, like a broody teenager. It makes snide comments when you want to do something that it doesn't want to do. And don't even get me started on the nightmare that is that mercedes motor, I WISH that they put the much happier VC motor in it instead. Definitely. Definitely. Definitely. Get the Lexus. And immediately upgrade the brakes and get an intake. You'll thank me.
Both really nice cars - would be difficult to choose if it came down to it! I think I like the Lexus a bit more aesthetically but like the performance of the Infiniti more. I'd probably lean towards the IS just because it is a Lexus and should be very reliable.

If you buy a Lexus, you can expect to get one of the best road cars in the world: comfortable, lush, a little bit fun, adequate power, reliable, good efficiency, high resale value.
But buying a Infiniti, you aren't getting the best of anything: not the most comfy, not the most powerful, not the fastest, not the most fun, not the most reliable, not the most attractive, etc. It just doesn't shine on the road, race tracks, or car meets.
If one really wants fun and reliability, lease a better drivers' car and own a practical road/family car.

I never understood why the Lexus is so slow. The 328i with the same power rating is significantly quicker.
Take into account that BMW notoriously underrates their power outputs. And the 3 series is probably lighter, not sure.
Best car like this for a 2.0T is the 228i.
+Nik Brudar correct, however it is not hard for them to underrate their car either, up the boost.
+Nik Brudar and also the Mercedes 2.0T sucks as well and has 40 less HP but still beat the Lexus.

IS 200t is definitely a piece of trunk. It is a all new model, but it is slow, thirsty and cheap just like old IS 250.
I’d go for Lexus
inifiti could be faster, but look outdated, doesnt sell, bad reliability , the lexus look way better from inside to outside
let me guess infinity walks all over the lexus.
I think Nissan are underrated cars only because they’re quite cheap
toyota4life won't be a happy camper... LOL
wait, I thought nissan partnered with infinity.
Nissan made infiniti
+yadvinder gakhal bro he is stupid 😂
You've got to be kidding me.
+Jonathan Washington I'm sorry bro that's really how the world works lol 😂 (Nissan made infinity )
yadvinder gakhal how so?
Every time , infinity
how the fuck is a car that has no steering cinnection to the road a drivers car??? please. lexus all the way.
The Lexus will last 10 times longer
Lexus IS models are slow as turtles lmao. The Infiniti by far the superior car period. If u disagree well that's your bad. And go drive that boring and ugly Lexus. That car is 💩💩💩. The Infiniti runs circles on that. Owner of q60 right here so yeah. 🙂
I prefer the lexus
Yea Infiniti is better in performance but worse in everything else
I what way? I think the tech on the infinity needs an upgrade.
Infiniti and Nissan build quality/reliability are crap!
depends on the model. Nissan's V6 is a pretty solid engine.
I sold my new 2013 G37x sedan 1.5 years after the purchase. Lumbar support broke, AWD system became noisy, auto level on one lamp broke, on and on. It was under warranty, so I sold it!
My thinking was Lexus due to less cost in parts and Toyota reliability.
Thanks!!!
Even more so unreliable with a MB engine!
+DementedButtHole My Murano with 107k miles need a new CVT replacement. Unacceptable!!!
As someone who used to work at Infiniti-
Get the Lexus.
The Infiniti is a car that's eternally cynical, like a broody teenager. It makes snide comments when you want to do something that it doesn't want to do.
And don't even get me started on the nightmare that is that mercedes motor, I WISH that they put the much happier VC motor in it instead.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Get the Lexus.
And immediately upgrade the brakes and get an intake.
You'll thank me.
Izayoi Aifuyu explain what you meant about the bens motor? Why is it bad ?
Phew No Boofighter
