    Just copped a fully loaded '18 RS, with all the bells and whistles. It's the NBA red with white interior. Previous own put 19" custom rims on it and I really want to switch back to the 20" black gloss rims. Car has 27K miles and is a beast! Got it up to 130 mph without even trying.. crazy the speed and am enjoying the ride! Great informative vid!

    Great review! I put your video in my playlist and gave it a like. Those sensors, along with the blind spot sensors, cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control etc etc are all optional. Also, this has a 16 speaker Bose stereo system that includes 3 subwoofers. So technically, it does have 13 speakers + 3 subs, but they call it a 16 speaker system. Thanks for the great review man! I can't wait to upgrade from my '15 Q50 3.7 Premium RWD to a lightly used 2019 Q60S RS400 with every option except AWD. I know 2020 got the updates, but it no longer has the performance pages in the lower screen. I love that feature in mine. Plus I'll save some $ going with a certified pre-owned '19 at an Infiniti dealer.

    Very well done, Chad! 👏🏼
    Wow! I almost forgot how much I love this car's styling! When the Q60 first came out, I was truly in love with the design. Such a sumptuously-aggressive-looking ride from every single angle. 🤩 I agree! In this price-range, I'd expect parking sensors and more driver assistance tech - despite the performance factor or not... Having them available is always nice, and if you don't want them, you can just deactivate them. 😅
    Also, yes! While I absolutely love the Q60, there are a list of aspects that desperately need to be updated, while there are other areas that are surprisingly class-competitive. Thus, making the cabin feel somewhat mis-matched. For example, that whole top screen screams early 2010s Infiniti... While the lower screen seems like it belongs more in the 2020s.
    You can't really argue about this car's driving dynamics though! As a 2nd hand car, (at a good price), I'd totally pick one of these up just based off of the sheer performance, stunning exterior styling, and relatively spacious cabin considering what it is. But, I'd probably pass if I was considering buying a brand-new Q60... Mainly because it just won't feel "new" to me.
    All in all, GREAT review! Your commentary is always spot-on. Keep it up, Chad! 🙌🏽💯

    Nice review I own a 2019 Red Sport with a black body and red interior. It’s a car that you just don’t see very often that’s why I chose this over a Corvette or Lexus or some other car company that you see everywhere. Mine is rear wheel drive I prefer it over all wheel drive just because of less cost and maintenance. This car is just fun to drive and makes you smile every time you get in and start it.

    Nice review man! I have a 2017 RedSport 400 RWD in Dynamic Sunstone Red with the Gallery White interior, with the silver carbon trim, it also has the carbon exterior package (mirrors, rear spoiler, side intakes) mine also has the tech package, (so parking sensors, front collision warning, auto braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitor, self drive selectable follow length, etc.) You def need the tech package and the RWD. It's the most amazing car I've ever owned, it's beautiful, fast, comfortable and turns heads all the time. It's most definitely and park and look back car every time.

    Gotta say, with my QRS the stock exhaust is SO narrow and quiet-- some says it's to keep exhaust flowing fast to reduce turbos lag. It's maybe like an inch if that all the way back, but I've got a 3inch exhaust going all the way back and I don't see any noticeable turbo lag.. Getting a cat-back definitely makes an improvement.

    I almost forgot... You can go into a whole other page with more adjustments for that amazing Bose sound system. There's Surround sound, Bose Counterpoint, mid range, full EQ plus more. If you set it right, this is one of the best factory sound systems for the $. Also, you were testing the sound with the treble all the way in the middle factory setting. I'm surprised it sounded as clear as it did. With everything set properly, it would be a night vs day difference. This car can drive itself when it has all of the tech options. This was a base RS400 AWD with navigation. It is missing so many amazing features.
