My dad purchased a 2014 q50 in November of 2013. 8 years later car still runs strong at 114,000 miles. He's very proud to own a car from Japan. Coming from a man who had American cars his entire life!
Why do people still call some cars American cars there hasn't been an American car since God only knows when as a matter of fact the first japanese car I ever owed was built in Tennessee
@@applejuice9468 The origin of design is multinational too... And the only meaningful trait from japanese cars are its quality control. Their design is meaningless. Toyota engines mounted on Lotus blow up like every other british car, lol.
I have a 2003 Infinity G35 4-door sedan, one of the first originals sold off the Japanese assembly line in 2002. Yes, I've had to replace the radiator and AC compressor, but they were all under dealership warranty, and then of course some other maintenance items. But... this puppy's engine still purrs like a kitten and when I ask it, it still hugs the road. The best thing, however, is that I have not had a car payment in 13 years.
I have a 2015 Q50 with 47,000 miles on it, it's a great car, still in perfect condition. It's fast, fun, nice. Gas milage isn't bad. Not a single scratch. I get compliments all the time.
That's nice to here,my first impression on seeing some post is that Nissan is questionable. I've personally never had a problem with cars made in Japan, that were maintained properly. ZERO PROBLEMS. Even now my 40 yr old Suzuki 750, runs flawless.
I love my 2021 Q50 Redsport 400. It’s my second Q50. Had a 2018 before this one. You either love these cars or you don’t. Only those who owned/own one will understand
You got that right, i have a 2018 q50 redsport which is the 3rd infiniti car that i have owned.. never a wrench on any of them other than tires, brakes and normal wear and tear... some people just dont understand the difference between a nissan and infiniti which a huge difference.. u cant argue with 400 horsepower in the red sport....
My dad has a 2014 Q50S Hybrid with 150k+ miles. Never a single problem; perfect. Infinitis are much better than nissans.... two brothers aren't the same because they have the same parents.
My car has real-time adaptive "nav systems": My eyes, ears, arms and legs. These devices have been continually updated and used since the 1960s. They DO make noise once in a while, But they don't throw up any codes so far. 😂
Hey Scotty, I must say! Those pink asian leave/tree petals blowing, in the bright sun on a clear day, with that gentle wind, is a perfect setting for recording a video on an asian luxury car like that! Great timing, Scotty
thats one of my dream cars i was born in 99 when i grew up all the modern nissans around me were crap and i never batted an eye to them, then i looked into 350zs and old sylvias and i love them now ive been looking to get a Z rwd manual japanese car is cool to me
Nice! I love my 2014 Q50. I got it with 8k from a old lady in 2016. Currently has 75k and runs great and have not cause me no freaking issue. Other than buying a new battery. 2014 is one of the best Year so far for the Q50.
The main issue is the Galley Gasket. The OEM one is crap and will fail beyond 168k miles. When you replace them, get the Z1 Motorsports Kit. You'll get a Metal Gasket that's good for 300k+, 2 new chains and 3 new tensioners.
What's crazy is my mom has had to put less money into her '07 Infiniti M35 having it for 4 years than I've had to put into my '09 Toyota Camry in 14 months. Those Infiniti's with the RWD platform and transmissions are excellent cars if you take care of them.
I had a 2015 q50 and loved it. The 3.7 engine is very reliable and I never had any issues with it. It was indestructible in the winter with the awd system. Can’t mod them much and the new ones have a much more unreliable 3.0 twin turbo engine which is slightly faster but terrible reliability
I bought my wife's first car (2007 hyundai accent) for $2000CAD in 2016, it had 105,000 miles or so. We still have it now in 2021 going into 2022, maybe we put $500-$600 into it for repairs since and about only 30,000 miles. But nonetheless, one of the best deals one could get. Great little runner, no engine light and no issues. With the shortage of vehicles we could probably sell it and get about $1400-$1600 for it, and maybe we will because wife recently got a 2017 tucson and Im driving her car and Im thinking of getting a corolla hatchback.
just got a used 2019 q50 and im in love! this video makes me feel better that i got one used of course but also low milage, low price, and it was 1 onwer lease so it was kept in great condition:)
Infiniti is better than Nissan but only just. It mainly comes down to the fact that the Infiniti brand doesn’t use CVTs. They still have issues and are not comparable to Acura or Lexus in terms of long term reliability.
I bought a q50 awd 3.7 v6 a month ago and I love it. Don’t know if I’ll keep it long because I used to have an Xterra and loved the size and what I can do with it. Hopefully I can keep it, probably not lol
I bought a 2019 Infinity Q50S with 21,000 miles. It now has 83,000 and has had nothing done to it except regular Maintenace, and it is still running strong. I LOVE that car.
2000 Infiniti Q45 was one of the greatest cars they had. I still have mines with 320,433 miles in it still strong, Fx35 Fx45 G35 where all flawless vehicles. Todays Nissan and Infiniti are just terrible
I've been lucky on cheap vehicles b4 and I've made a few bad choices too. But I've had a few cars that cost me less than $1,000 a piece that lasted me at least 2 years or more and that's cheaper than any car payment
I too do not like low profile tires! I also hate cars built too low to the ground that wont clear a speed bump or the front undercover wont clear the curb.CHEERS from Canadian side.
My cousin bought a '16 Rogue in April. It's broken down about every month since & yesterday her front calipers seized. Counting the new brakes she'll be putting on, she'll have put $3,500 in repairs into it since she got it.
Got my Q50 a couple months ago, just 1 year left on its warranty. I had all the problems fixed on it for free, saved me tons of money on parts and labor and the price of the car of course. Gotta play them cards right to get an almost new condition car.
I bought a used 2014 Nissan Altima with a V6 270 HP engine in 2016 from a dealer and it goes like a rocket. I bought an extended warrantee on everything and just extended it for another 7 years or until it has 90,000 miles on it for 2000 dollars. Anything goes wrong no matter what it is no cost to me. So far only problem was a position sensor on the crank shaft. Cost to me on the first warrantee was 100 dollars. Car has a little over 36,000 miles on it. Every gadget you can think of. I really enjoy this car. Glad you also like it too. Glad you think it's a reliable engine.
My q50 was purchased new. I think out the door I paid 56k, 3 years later it was worth 19k and dropping. Fully agree with Scotty in car not holding its resale value. The one in the video here I think held up much better than mine. 3 years later and 50k I had a squealing ac compressor. They had had to do a gap adjustment (whatever that means). Still didn’t fix it. They changed belts and it still didn’t fix it. And inside the quality didn’t hold up well the areas held together by double tape where all coming apart. Blend door actuator broke. Infotainment full of problems. That’s when I ditched it for my current car. To me my q50 just felt like an over priced Altima.
I would have bought a Toyota Camry instead in order to save money on the front end and avoid those problems towards the back end. One would probably still be driving the Camry as one's current car based on Toyota's reputation for reliability.
@@phillipjames453 believe it or not I looked at that car before I got the Infiniti. The problem I had was that Toyota financing didn’t want to approve me on the deal we put together. They instead said they would approve something with much higher interest and putting the car near the price I paid for the Infiniti. I was in a bad spot where I was rolling two cars with negative on each. The price they offered was for a Lexus level and if it was a Lexus I would of taken it. But not for a Toyota. Infiniti took in my cars in my current condition at the time and was able to offer discounts based on the fact that I used to be a Nissan owner in the past with great track record with them. So yes the price wasn’t great but it wasn’t too far off what would be reasonable for Infiniti. So I pulled the trigger. But after owning the brand considering the treatment etc and product quality it’s why I ditched it. But I actually agree with you. The Camry isn’t a bad car at all I liked it. It just ended up being a situational problem for myself at the time. 👍
@@BornInBosnia a car I’ve had success with in the past. Hyundai Sonata. My 2015 sonata went 4 years without a single problem and I like the fact that Hyundai puts so much tech standard. You have an affordable car under 30k with with more tech than my 56k Infiniti had. I know and fully understand it’s not to the same standards as a Toyota and Honda. That’s why I take extra care of it to try hard to extend its life as much as possible. If I can get 6 years out of this car I’m happy. It has everything I could want in a car. It’s not perfect but it’s the best for my current situation.
Scotty,heres a tip even YOU have never thought about. Recently,I found the petrol refill cap door would not open on my wifes 1999 Toyota Corolla...the spring had broken. To get it to open,I simply put a an appropriately sized object (a tiny metal container!),under the release lever inside the car and left it there until i fixed the problem. To fix the problem, i got a metal key ring,opened it out a little and inserted it in the fuel cap release door where the release spring had been....it works a dream and it cost nothing! Think i'll start a TH-cam channel in oppostion to yours,Scotty! Heck,i'm halfway across the world here in Ireland,so i'm sure it'd be okay!!!
I sold my 07 m35 I changed 2 engine but that car is the best car I drove, everywhere I go people always stop to look at it with LED lights and fog lights and body kit, never have a problem driving it in snow
My lane keep assist in my 2019 Honda Civic brings me back to the pot holes of Florida when I try to maneuver away from them. I always turn it off so I don’t have to fight my steering wheel.
I prefer the RWD of Infiniti vs Nissan in their sporty sedans. My days of Nissan are long gone. Owned their trucks, cars and SUVs. Was a big fan of Maximas and owned a few until 99. When the rumors of the new redo in 00 being RWD was bunk, that was my last Maxima. My last 04 Armada was it for Nissan. Nothing from them interests me and the quality has definitely gone way down from those days.
107K miles on my G37xS sedan daily, 63K on the 350Z roadster. Tanks thar last, both still drive like new and the G goes through salt every winter. The Q50 infotainment is just Infiniti going iPhones on wheels like everyone else. Not bugs here.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- Scotty Kilmer is a national treasure. He's somebody we can all trust for good, knowledgeable, honest advice on cars.
My 2004 Infiniti G35X was most reliable car owned for 9 years just oil change go then got 2011 Infiniti G37x for 6 years unfortunately wasn’t as reliable. I have was ready for Red sport Q50 but Infiniti not like use to be! I decided to purchase Stinger and very happy!
Ahh Scotty you picked a q50...that 3.7 engine is a bulletproof engine perfected from Nissan....yes there will be a few issues with tech like any other car but the trans and engine on this car are solid.
I agree . When a car has a lot of miles or is getting old , I dont see any reason to wind them out to the redline unless you have a real need to get somewhere fast .
@@manuelesquivel2107 lol he does it in every car. Seen him do it in many early 90s cars that are going on 30 years old with original engines and transmissions. Not that difficult to damage something in and old car with old high mileage original tranny and engines. Sometime things are hanging by a thread and you really have to baby old cars.
i got my 2015 q fiddy 3.7 premium 6 years ago it had 80k miles wen i got it it was 2 years old now it got 134k miles only thing i had 2 do is change starter twice already i b flooring it thing runs like a champ n i b doing doughnuts in da snow so much fun im so glad i purchased this vehicle
Ive gotten stuck on the side of the road after hitting a pothole. My low profile tire got ripped. Changing a tire on a busy intersection with people going 60mph is dangerous especially if your back is towards the traffic side. Now I have to buy 2 new tires so that they ride evenly. Wheels can also get bent easier because there is less rubber to cushion the blow. Low profiles are high maintenance and cost more too.
All-wheel drive is a waste of money in a car except for the wintertime - spring thru fall not much use if any - need to make it a push-button 4x4 - my opinion
I just bought one of these last year and was afraid you were gonna tell us it sucks haha. Bought mine used. 37,000 miles paid 24k 2015 model with the 3.7. It’s fun, smooth, and sounds good when you wanna go fast. I bought it knowing they didn’t hold value well but to me, that’s fine. I just wanted a reliable engine on a good platform that has some style. It was either gonna be this or a stinger for me. Went with this instead because the stingers are very overpriced by me.
@@joemommaganja hey man. i’m contemplating on buying a 2014 infiniti q50 with 78,000 miles on it. do you think it’s worth getting? did you have any issues with it so far?
The one thing I don’t really hear talked about much with infinity is for some reason all their cars especially when they are new smell really good I don’t know what it is about infinities in particular but their new car smell is fantastic
@@_zigzak no.. not even in the same league haha let me guess your one of those characters who think their is more to a car than quality ? And hondai and kia have surpassed toytoa and Honda haha 🤣🤣
My automatic door locks work too in my 02 Jetta 2.slow. with the the 4 speed jatco tranny. 208*** miles. Only code I just tried was 02 sensor. And she burns about a 1/4 quart every 300-400 miles. Idc wat Scotty says. At the time they were still easy to work on, reliable if you took care of them and my trim has leather seats, heated seats, sunroof, alarm, door lock window roll down, a nice dash, and a solid car. U hear it when u shut the doors. Plus it's a Wisconsin car with literally only superficial rust on the exhaust and some of the frame. And it was a Mexican vw. Just take care of it and it'll take care of you
I read an article that most people turn of the advanced safety features in their car - adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert and the pre-collision system because the beeping is annoying
Scotty forgot about the VQ engines and that these cars are made in Japan. I still see 2003 G35’s on road eating the new cars, what other brand can say that??? Don’t sleep on Infiniti!
A friend of mind Nissan transmission just went out ... And last week a small car shop told me Nissans are garbage and always have problems after transmission fluid change outs
I still have a 2007 G35S stick shift. That car does not ask for anything different from wear and tear and oil change and with 270k km performs like a beast.
I had a 04 G35 and a 08 G37. Great cars. Not one problem. V8 power good quality. They just aren't quite as solid as Lexus: Normal Toyota/ Lexus only breaks if you try to break it. Infiniti is 80 or 90 % of Lexus. Nissan isn't the same story compared to Toyota.
Saw a lot of different cars in my job. Always found that Infinitis seemed ok for 3-4 years and then sstarted falling apart. Nowhere the quality of Lexus, or Toyotas in general.
I've an 09 M35s, too expensive to buy new I got mine as a lease return at 2 yrs old about 1/3 off from new price. It remains excellent even at 15 years, albeit only 125K miles its a great car.
About the only "assisted" driving feature that I leave turned on is blind spot monitoring (which in Toyotas--at least the Camry's) it doesn't beep or make noise) and the adaptive cruise control. I've since turned off the lane departure warning system, as it's annoying. Of course some you can't turn off like the preventative collision systems but those only come on if you're going to hit something.
The more complex a car is the more things that can and will go bad eventually. I agree, those low profile tires are foolish. Even without potholes there are curbs railroad tracks, road debris. You are going to regret it, for what? Looks? More expense? ROI.
Scotty you are always amazing! So you mentioned beeping and Turing annoying crap off. Our new Ford Escape beeps when it backs up. How would one go about getting it disabled? ❤️ if you can help. it is annoying as the forklifts I drove years ago 🤣
I guess my dad was a lucky one, he bought a used 2008 M45 back in ‘12 and the only major repair it needed were the cats (we’re in Cali) and he kept it until march of 2021 when he got into a very minor fender bender and the insurance claimed it a total loss. I believe he had 184,000 miles on the car and was still going strong. He then got a 2017 Qx60. My parents love Infiniti haha
Bought 2010 g37x 2ys old in 2012 still running beautifully. Since i love this car so much i wanted to get the next gen which is q50. Nm. Q50 is a totally different car. Now im looking at 2022 audi a5 sports back. Any feedbacks about audi a5?
I’ve turned off Lane Watch on my ‘15 Accord because it makes me crazy. If I get anywhere near the lane markers it goes off. Even the collision avoidance alarm annoys me because it gets fooled by any signage placed in the center medians. I’m also not sure the back up camera works right. When I’m backing out of a space, dumb people still proceed to walk past the car when it’s in motion. Shouldn’t it send out an electrical force field to keep them away?😏
Probably need to change to "this is your last warning mode". Robotic voice emits from a speaker in your rear bumper "hey stupid! I am backing up here!" 😆
@@thomaspeacock7248 so they will get their wish? They will have succeeded! Lol! Maybe manufacturers will design a hinged rear bumper. One that senses pedestrians walking behind your vehicle and swings out, swats them out of the way! Could be a friendly voice coming from the rear speaker, speaking in a dialect of your choosing that says "excuse me!" Mustn't be rude of course! I think I would prefer a woman's voice with an Australian accent.
The plows destroy the roads in winter honestly they fix the potholes right before winter then plow it right back off. I have low pros on the scion tc and yes it does suck on these roads for the potholes nothing to absorb the bump really. Thankfully I haven't popped any yet due to it.
The VQ series Nissan engines are fantastic...and in this case, the 7spd auto infiniti uses is a great tranny. Nothing like the cvt auto garbage Nissan uses in every car that isn't an infiniti
Ive had 2 infinitis with the same engine. My last one (m35) reached 280k. It was burning oil and i would still beat the crap out of it. I beat the crap out of it a little too hard on the freeway before i added more oil and ended up with nasty engine knock. If it werent for the way i drove that thing, im sure it would have lasted much longer.
I bought a 1 year old 2015 Infiniti Q50 3.7 V6 for $24,500 (27k miles) brand new it was 45k. Depreciation is crazy on those of new but used it is an excellent value. I have had no problems at all and I put it trough its paces. 2015 was the best year for Q50. Avoid the 2016+ Q50 due to its problematic twin turbo engine.
My brothers infinity started falling apart 3-4years after he bought it my 20yo fords are built like tanks one has 340k miles on it all original never worked on
Hey Scotty, How come you don't mention that Honda uses timing belts? I love Honda but would not buy another because of timing belts. 2 My 2017 Ridgeline needs new belt in 30,000 miles, $1500 repair.
@@alfredemerson1139 it's a computer...by the time you have it in your hand, a better one is being advertised. I still have the Bluetooth model Scotty was using about two years ago.

We still have it now in 2021 going into 2022, maybe we put $500-$600 into it for repairs since and about only 30,000 miles. But nonetheless, one of the best deals one could get. Great little runner, no engine light and no issues. With the shortage of vehicles we could probably sell it and get about $1400-$1600 for it, and maybe we will because wife recently got a 2017 tucson and Im driving her car and Im thinking of getting a corolla hatchback.
just got a used 2019 q50 and im in love! this video makes me feel better that i got one used of course but also low milage, low price, and it was 1 onwer lease so it was kept in great condition:)
Salt and scrappers are really big up there Scotty
That's why I love Florida
The G35 Coupes are some of the prettiest cars to ever to be made in Japan.
I have an Infiniti Q50 and I love it. I thought you’ve been wrong since day 1 of the Q50 and I’m glad you realize that
Infiniti is better than Nissan but only just. It mainly comes down to the fact that the Infiniti brand doesn’t use CVTs. They still have issues and are not comparable to Acura or Lexus in terms of long term reliability.
Im buying a Q50 base or the sport Im happy that Scotty has the chance to look at one
just dont mod it lmao
Yeah it really depends on the exact engine and transmission setup you get.
I bought a q50 awd 3.7 v6 a month ago and I love it. Don’t know if I’ll keep it long because I used to have an Xterra and loved the size and what I can do with it. Hopefully I can keep it, probably not lol
I bought a 2019 Infinity Q50S with 21,000 miles. It now has 83,000 and has had nothing done to it except regular Maintenace, and it is still running strong. I LOVE that car.
still good?
2000 Infiniti Q45 was one of the greatest cars they had. I still have mines with 320,433 miles in it still strong, Fx35 Fx45 G35 where all flawless vehicles. Todays Nissan and Infiniti are just terrible
Definitely a good one. The body lines were designed by the same guy who designs Ferrari’s.
Today Infiniti are still great
na Infinitis are still excellent cars
Mine not mines
I've been lucky on cheap vehicles b4 and I've made a few bad choices too. But I've had a few cars that cost me less than $1,000 a piece that lasted me at least 2 years or more and that's cheaper than any car payment
I did tons of research and I'm buying a Q50 base or the sport I can't wait to get it.
I too do not like low profile tires! I also hate cars built too low to the ground that wont clear a speed bump or the front undercover wont clear the curb.CHEERS from Canadian side.
My cousin bought a '16 Rogue in April. It's broken down about every month since & yesterday her front calipers seized. Counting the new brakes she'll be putting on, she'll have put $3,500 in repairs into it since she got it.
Rouge is a cheep car ,infiniti's are made better with forged engine internals ,better transmissions ETC
I have a M37 being transferred and I can't wait to own one. Such great cars
Got my Q50 a couple months ago, just 1 year left on its warranty. I had all the problems fixed on it for free, saved me tons of money on parts and labor and the price of the car of course. Gotta play them cards right to get an almost new condition car.
I bought a used 2014 Nissan Altima with a V6 270 HP engine in 2016 from a dealer and it goes like a rocket. I bought an extended warrantee on everything and just extended it for another 7 years or until it has 90,000 miles on it for 2000 dollars. Anything goes wrong no matter what it is no cost to me. So far only problem was a position sensor on the crank shaft. Cost to me on the first warrantee was 100 dollars. Car has a little over 36,000 miles on it. Every gadget you can think of. I really enjoy this car. Glad you also like it too. Glad you think it's a reliable engine.
My q50 was purchased new. I think out the door I paid 56k, 3 years later it was worth 19k and dropping. Fully agree with Scotty in car not holding its resale value. The one in the video here I think held up much better than mine. 3 years later and 50k I had a squealing ac compressor. They had had to do a gap adjustment (whatever that means). Still didn’t fix it. They changed belts and it still didn’t fix it. And inside the quality didn’t hold up well the areas held together by double tape where all coming apart. Blend door actuator broke. Infotainment full of problems. That’s when I ditched it for my current car. To me my q50 just felt like an over priced Altima.
I would have bought a Toyota Camry instead in order to save money on the front end and avoid those problems towards the back end. One would probably still be driving the Camry as one's current car based on Toyota's reputation for reliability.
@@phillipjames453 believe it or not I looked at that car before I got the Infiniti. The problem I had was that Toyota financing didn’t want to approve me on the deal we put together. They instead said they would approve something with much higher interest and putting the car near the price I paid for the Infiniti. I was in a bad spot where I was rolling two cars with negative on each. The price they offered was for a Lexus level and if it was a Lexus I would of taken it. But not for a Toyota. Infiniti took in my cars in my current condition at the time and was able to offer discounts based on the fact that I used to be a Nissan owner in the past with great track record with them. So yes the price wasn’t great but it wasn’t too far off what would be reasonable for Infiniti. So I pulled the trigger. But after owning the brand considering the treatment etc and product quality it’s why I ditched it. But I actually agree with you. The Camry isn’t a bad car at all I liked it. It just ended up being a situational problem for myself at the time. 👍
@@leosthrivwithautism So what'd you end up getting after ditching the infinity?
@@BornInBosnia a car I’ve had success with in the past. Hyundai Sonata. My 2015 sonata went 4 years without a single problem and I like the fact that Hyundai puts so much tech standard. You have an affordable car under 30k with with more tech than my 56k Infiniti had. I know and fully understand it’s not to the same standards as a Toyota and Honda. That’s why I take extra care of it to try hard to extend its life as much as possible. If I can get 6 years out of this car I’m happy. It has everything I could want in a car. It’s not perfect but it’s the best for my current situation.
@@leosthrivwithautism I hope it lasts you million miles.
Scotty,heres a tip even YOU have never thought about. Recently,I found the petrol refill cap door would not open on my wifes 1999 Toyota Corolla...the spring had broken. To get it to open,I simply put a an appropriately sized object (a tiny metal container!),under the release lever inside the car and left it there until i fixed the problem. To fix the problem, i got a metal key ring,opened it out a little and inserted it in the fuel cap release door where the release spring had been....it works a dream and it cost nothing! Think i'll start a TH-cam channel in oppostion to yours,Scotty!
Heck,i'm halfway across the world here in Ireland,so i'm sure it'd be okay!!!
I sold my 07 m35 I changed 2 engine but that car is the best car I drove, everywhere I go people always stop to look at it with LED lights and fog lights and body kit, never have a problem driving it in snow
I absolutely love your videos!!!!! Keep going man !!!
My lane keep assist in my 2019 Honda Civic brings me back to the pot holes of Florida when I try to maneuver away from them. I always turn it off so I don’t have to fight my steering wheel.
I prefer the RWD of Infiniti vs Nissan in their sporty sedans. My days of Nissan are long gone. Owned their trucks, cars and SUVs. Was a big fan of Maximas and owned a few until 99. When the rumors of the new redo in 00 being RWD was bunk, that was my last Maxima. My last 04 Armada was it for Nissan. Nothing from them interests me and the quality has definitely gone way down from those days.
Infiniti were good until mid 2010s
@@demri123
They started the downfall in 2013 when they started putting CVTs in their stuff.
I’m not an Infiniti fan, but I’d buy a G37 before a Q50
350z more like!
No way, that’d be a massive mistake. I have a Q50 and a G37 and the G37 is so outdated
107K miles on my G37xS sedan daily, 63K on the 350Z roadster. Tanks thar last, both still drive like new and the G goes through salt every winter. The Q50 infotainment is just Infiniti going iPhones on wheels like everyone else. Not bugs here.
What about a Q40 👀 I got one of those
You obviously don't know that the q50 comes with a twin turbo variant engine that walks that pos vq37😭😂
People will often be proud about bad purchases because they don’t want to admit to their ignorance.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- Scotty Kilmer is a national treasure. He's somebody we can all trust for good, knowledgeable, honest advice on cars.
Scotty should check the door sticker for the Q50. It's built in Japan and the quality is way better than any Nissan US factory cars.
the dog in the background, taking that lady for a walk! 🙂
Scotty drive safe and enjoy your ride !
My 2004 Infiniti G35X was most reliable car owned for 9 years just oil change go then got 2011 Infiniti G37x for 6 years unfortunately wasn’t as reliable. I have was ready for Red sport Q50 but Infiniti not like use to be! I decided to purchase Stinger and very happy!
Ahh Scotty you picked a q50...that 3.7 engine is a bulletproof engine perfected from Nissan....yes there will be a few issues with tech like any other car but the trans and engine on this car are solid.
Scotty is back at it again with the teleportation. First it was from Texas to Tennessee now its from East Coast to Tennessee 😂
I'm always afraid Scotty is gonna break something when he floors it in some of these old cars 😳😬
I agree . When a car has a lot of miles or is getting old , I dont see any reason to wind them out to the redline unless you have a real need to get somewhere fast .
2014 is old?
@@manuelesquivel2107 lol he does it in every car. Seen him do it in many early 90s cars that are going on 30 years old with original engines and transmissions. Not that difficult to damage something in and old car with old high mileage original tranny and engines. Sometime things are hanging by a thread and you really have to baby old cars.
Just cleaning out the carbon.
I floor my '90 Tbird all the time, just to make sure it doesn't break.
i got my 2015 q fiddy 3.7 premium 6 years ago it had 80k miles wen i got it it was 2 years old now it got 134k miles only thing i had 2 do is change starter twice already i b flooring it thing runs like a champ n i b doing doughnuts in da snow so much fun im so glad i purchased this vehicle
I love Scooty much, since I was collage take a good care scoot. 😊
Ive gotten stuck on the side of the road after hitting a pothole. My low profile tire got ripped. Changing a tire on a busy intersection with people going 60mph is dangerous especially if your back is towards the traffic side. Now I have to buy 2 new tires so that they ride evenly. Wheels can also get bent easier because there is less rubber to cushion the blow. Low profiles are high maintenance and cost more too.
All-wheel drive is a waste of money in a car except for the wintertime - spring thru fall not much use if any - need to make it a push-button 4x4 - my opinion
Thank you Scotty honest John 👍🏽😁
I just bought one of these last year and was afraid you were gonna tell us it sucks haha. Bought mine used. 37,000 miles paid 24k 2015 model with the 3.7. It’s fun, smooth, and sounds good when you wanna go fast. I bought it knowing they didn’t hold value well but to me, that’s fine. I just wanted a reliable engine on a good platform that has some style. It was either gonna be this or a stinger for me. Went with this instead because the stingers are very overpriced by me.
sounds like a solid deal! paid 20k for mine with 78k haha love it though.
@@joemommaganja hey man. i’m contemplating on buying a 2014 infiniti q50 with 78,000 miles on it. do you think it’s worth getting? did you have any issues with it so far?
Gotta love this guy 👍🏿
The one thing I don’t really hear talked about much with infinity is for some reason all their cars especially when they are new smell really good I don’t know what it is about infinities in particular but their new car smell is fantastic
It's Car de Chanel
You mean Nissan plus?
@@richardalfaro4933 in the same way that lexus is toyota plus
Poison in the plastic :). The sweet smell of death
@@_zigzak no.. not even in the same league haha let me guess your one of those characters who think their is more to a car than quality ? And hondai and kia have surpassed toytoa and Honda haha 🤣🤣
Always a pleasure to watch/learn from Scotty
My automatic door locks work too in my 02 Jetta 2.slow. with the the 4 speed jatco tranny. 208*** miles. Only code I just tried was 02 sensor. And she burns about a 1/4 quart every 300-400 miles. Idc wat Scotty says. At the time they were still easy to work on, reliable if you took care of them and my trim has leather seats, heated seats, sunroof, alarm, door lock window roll down, a nice dash, and a solid car. U hear it when u shut the doors. Plus it's a Wisconsin car with literally only superficial rust on the exhaust and some of the frame. And it was a Mexican vw. Just take care of it and it'll take care of you
Yep, Nissan stopped making good cars around 2000. Those 96 to 2000 altimas and maxima were tanks. Not anymore!
I read an article that most people turn of the advanced safety features in their car - adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert and the pre-collision system because the beeping is annoying
Scotty forgot about the VQ engines and that these cars are made in Japan. I still see 2003 G35’s on road eating the new cars, what other brand can say that??? Don’t sleep on Infiniti!
VQ35HR is my car's.
A friend of mind Nissan transmission just went out ... And last week a small car shop told me Nissans are garbage and always have problems after transmission fluid change outs
they are garbage thats why after 6 years they arent worth anything
Xterras are pretty reliable SUVs. I can't speak for the rest of their line up though
Yeap
Depends on which nissan you have
the real wheel drive Infinity a J series was a good car in the 90s. havent heard anything good about them since.
I still have a 2007 G35S stick shift. That car does not ask for anything different from wear and tear and oil change and with 270k km performs like a beast.
And magically Scotty is back in the upper North East! 🤣
Scotty doesn’t drive anymore - he has a magic carpet
Maybe he bought a Helicopter ?
Summer weather too
😂
I had a 04 G35 and a 08 G37. Great cars. Not one problem. V8 power good quality. They just aren't quite as solid as Lexus: Normal Toyota/ Lexus only breaks if you try to break it. Infiniti is 80 or 90 % of Lexus. Nissan isn't the same story compared to Toyota.
Saw a lot of different cars in my job. Always found that Infinitis seemed ok for 3-4 years and then sstarted falling apart. Nowhere the quality of Lexus, or Toyotas in general.
Well my 2015 Q50 is on year 7 now, no issues at all. I change my own oil.
I have an 07 M45, and still get compliments on it often, it's held up very well
I have 180k miles on my 2013 FX37, all original,no repairs,no check engine lights.Made in Japan.
I've an 09 M35s, too expensive to buy new I got mine as a lease return at 2 yrs old about 1/3 off from new price. It remains excellent even at 15 years, albeit only 125K miles its a great car.
About the only "assisted" driving feature that I leave turned on is blind spot monitoring (which in Toyotas--at least the Camry's) it doesn't beep or make noise) and the adaptive cruise control. I've since turned off the lane departure warning system, as it's annoying. Of course some you can't turn off like the preventative collision systems but those only come on if you're going to hit something.
That’s the benefit of being a mechanic yourself so you know what your looking at
The more complex a car is the more things that can and will go bad eventually. I agree, those low profile tires are foolish. Even without potholes there are curbs railroad tracks, road debris. You are going to regret it, for what? Looks? More expense? ROI.
I find it funny how scottys talkin about older ppl and hes about the same agae😂😂
Scotty you are always amazing! So you mentioned beeping and Turing annoying crap off. Our new Ford Escape beeps when it backs up. How would one go about getting it disabled? ❤️ if you can help. it is annoying as the forklifts I drove years ago 🤣
Scotty at Christmas talking to his grand kids just after he gifted them a Meccano set, now that would be a joy to watch.
Hello Scotty, from Australia.
Hello!
Sometime low profile tires comes with the car stock.. that's the way the engineers designed it.
Awesome! Loved both my infinitis! No problems
I guess my dad was a lucky one, he bought a used 2008 M45 back in ‘12 and the only major repair it needed were the cats (we’re in Cali) and he kept it until march of 2021 when he got into a very minor fender bender and the insurance claimed it a total loss. I believe he had 184,000 miles on the car and was still going strong. He then got a 2017 Qx60. My parents love Infiniti haha
I have a 07 M45, great car!
I've been looking for a used Lexus is 250 or gs 350 but man the prices are still insane
Did you ever find one bro
Did you get one?
Bought 2010 g37x 2ys old in 2012 still running beautifully. Since i love this car so much i wanted to get the next gen which is q50. Nm. Q50 is a totally different car. Now im looking at 2022 audi a5 sports back. Any feedbacks about audi a5?
I’ve turned off Lane Watch on my ‘15 Accord because it makes me crazy. If I get anywhere near the lane markers it goes off. Even the collision avoidance alarm annoys me because it gets fooled by any signage placed in the center medians.
I’m also not sure the back up camera works right. When I’m backing out of a space, dumb people still proceed to walk past the car when it’s in motion. Shouldn’t it send out an electrical force field to keep them away?😏
Probably need to change to "this is your last warning mode". Robotic voice emits from a speaker in your rear bumper "hey stupid! I am backing up here!" 😆
@@northdakotaham1752 I want to tell some of them that if they keep trying to get run over, they eventually will!
@@thomaspeacock7248 so they will get their wish? They will have succeeded! Lol! Maybe manufacturers will design a hinged rear bumper. One that senses pedestrians walking behind your vehicle and swings out, swats them out of the way! Could be a friendly voice coming from the rear speaker, speaking in a dialect of your choosing that says "excuse me!" Mustn't be rude of course! I think I would prefer a woman's voice with an Australian accent.
True I don't know why nissan gets a bad name all the nissans u e owned are great. Just keep up regular maintenance you'll be fine always was for me
same!!!!
I just saw vid about how 2 LITER 4s are The Thing now !!!
People love them in the Chicago area
The plows destroy the roads in winter honestly they fix the potholes right before winter then plow it right back off. I have low pros on the scion tc and yes it does suck on these roads for the potholes nothing to absorb the bump really. Thankfully I haven't popped any yet due to it.
The picture of the Pringles can air intake made me laugh.
Using a piece of ABS in a 2001 Mazda 2.0 for 4+ years now...295,000km...if it works...it works!
The VQ series Nissan engines are fantastic...and in this case, the 7spd auto infiniti uses is a great tranny. Nothing like the cvt auto garbage Nissan uses in every car that isn't an infiniti
Ive had 2 infinitis with the same engine. My last one (m35) reached 280k. It was burning oil and i would still beat the crap out of it. I beat the crap out of it a little too hard on the freeway before i added more oil and ended up with nasty engine knock. If it werent for the way i drove that thing, im sure it would have lasted much longer.
i love my g35 2006 coupe, bought it at 102k miles for 5200 bucks 30k miles later no issues with the car at all
Damn that sounds good Scotty
I bought a 1 year old 2015 Infiniti Q50 3.7 V6 for $24,500 (27k miles) brand new it was 45k. Depreciation is crazy on those of new but used it is an excellent value. I have had no problems at all and I put it trough its paces. 2015 was the best year for Q50. Avoid the 2016+ Q50 due to its problematic twin turbo engine.
lol YES ! ........ it's much better to let people wonder all over the road than be annoyed by warning beeps......
the "coroner sensor" goes off right before you get in a wreck 😂
2014 isn't really an old car. Mine is a 2015 and I consider it new. I did buy it used though, but I got it in 2017 for half retail.
My brothers infinity started falling apart 3-4years after he bought it my 20yo fords are built like tanks one has 340k miles on it all original never worked on
That engine has a timing chain , smart purchase.
Hey 👋 Scotty, I need one of those Electronic Scan Tools for my gas powered lawnmower and edger 😁👋✌👌🤙👍☝👏🙏
Hey Scotty,
How come you don't mention that Honda uses timing belts? I love Honda but would not buy another because of timing belts. 2
