@@gedamanthanks to Nissan literally threw Mitsubishi to the ground bc they didn’t want them to make more better performance than their own they been pitching evo 11 for ever and Nissan said no
@@Juiicegawd When did Mitsubishi get absorbed by Nissan? I’m pretty sure it was after 2015 when Mitsubishi made the Lancer Evolution Final Edition. Nissan kept Mitsubishi alive and somewhat profitable since the merger with badge engineered vehicles like the Outlander (sharing almost everything except exterior design with the Nissan Rogue). Mitsubishi is just a shell of its former self now. Back in the ‘90s they had some really exciting cars like the Eclipse, GTO, FTO, Lancer Evolution, and even the Galant and Diamanté were desirable. I don’t know how they lost track of staying competitive. If they had stayed on the same path as they were on in the ‘90s they would be on the same level as Honda right now.

You're number two option is wrong. The problem is infiniti won't up date this car and is keeping the same thing from 2015. The Q needs the new 9 speed to help the 3.0tt and a better limited slip differential. Plus a digital gauge custer like the new z and a new informant system.
Number two is not wrong. SUVs and crossovers are becoming more popular and there are companies like Buick and Ford that no longer sell a sedan and the Chrysler 300 is supposed to be discontinued after 2024. GM only has three sedans in their lineup and VW and Mazda only have one.

Such a good looking sedan, and OP is absolutely correct about there not being enough sporty sedans anymore. I had a G37 and will probably buy another one or a 3.7 Q50 just for a reliable and fun DD. Oh and they’re RWD/AWD, not wrong wheel drive. I’d love a Chevy SS, but why when you can get a CTS-V2 for about the same? Chargers are nice but so heavy, German sedans are a little pricey , initial cost and upkeep. I don’t know personally how reliable the 3.0 Turbo engines are, but if you keep oil and water in a VQ37 it will run for a lot of hard miles. My last one had over 200k and didn’t use more than half a quart of oil between changes, and never any issues.
In my (personal) opinion they should’ve made the 3.7 & the 3.0 as an option. Saying they should’ve kept producing 3.7. If you throw boost at a 3.7 you’re killing it
3-time Q50 Owner! I've loved every one. You're exactly right! It doesn't deserve the hate. Quite the contrary! I have driven and owned many of the competitors you mentioned. I chose the Q50 simply because it's better.
If I was into sedans I would be going with this car and then an is as my second option buuuuut coupes are better I’m about to pick an 08 g37 6mt so excited
Should be a non argument. The car is reliable overall. You only hear an influx of problems because there’s an influx of modifiers. Like he said you get for the price? What else at that price point can give you up to 400 hp stock, awd, heated seats, paddle shifters, twin turbo, leather seats. Etc etc etc You start out spanking 95% of anybody on the road off the lot.
why would they hate on the interior ? still badass in todays standards and was badass in 2014. the 16 speaker bose is better than mercedes or bmw or audi’s equivalent cars within the price range of the q50.
@@adamowens5507 I would assume the same reasons I dislike the interior of my 2020 q50s 1.) outdated interior overall 2.) no digital gaugle cluster 3.) Dual screen setup outdated and lacks control ability 4.) Sport seats arent the best 5.) cabin design hasnt changed in 10 + years Still love driving it though and I didnt buy it for the interior, however comparing to german counterparts, interior is definitely behind. The new QX60 and QX80s have updated interiors and they look amazing, would love to see something similar in the next gen Qs
Those engines are so cheap you could have even thrown an LS in it for around 3 to 5 k and turn it into a hellcat killer. There is even a conversion kit for the Ls swap to use the existing tyranny and just swap the tranny out later on. You can get 800 hp to 1,000 hp, and that's stock. But 300 to 600 hp is more than enough to have fun and live to see another day 😂
I just picked up a 2017 q50 sport with 37k miles. The front end is extremely nice. The interior is classic Nissan but it does have some cool features. Kinda reminds me of a 240sx if Nissan ever made a 4 door.
The base 3.0T puts 300 to the ground. It's underrated from the factory. For comparison, my LS1 Camaro baselined at 290 whp and was advertised as 305 at the crank. Factoring in drivetrain loss the base VR30 makes about 350 at the crank.
I love my q50 it’s so fun to drive, always had some f150 or Chevy trying to run me off the road in my Volkswagen so I needed the speed and she’s a beauty too!🤗🤗
The day I finally decide to get something to either replace or sit beside my G, it'll be a Q50 if I can find one in good (stock) condition. Beautiful vehicles with a beautiful history. I cant imagine wanting anything else after my G
I have the 2014 3.7L AWD Premium. Bought it new 10 years ago. I recently considered getting the 2024 IS350 and Audi A5 Sportsback. But I decided to keep the Q50 for a few more years. It still looks unique and nice in 2024. I upgraded the 17" stock wheels to 19" Niche 245/40/19s.
I have a 2014 q50s bought it with 50k miles im at 68k with zero issues love the car so comfy and amazing in the snow, hoping to drive this thing to 200k miles
I have owned the 2015 3.0 300 awd sport (ice blue). Loved this car so much, I got the q50 redsport awd in 2019. Zero problems. Just maintain it when it tells you too, plus maintenance for Japanese is relatively low $ and widely available. Some updates would be nice: - upgrade to the 9 speed twin turbo - updated 360 camera - add back the spare tire package (had this in my 2015) - Get rid of the Dunlop sport max run flats (they are outdated, expensive, noisy and don’t last that long), Michelin Allseason 4, Pilot Sport Summer, Pirelli or Continental etc. - ventilated seats - update the infotainment, i don’t mind the dual screens but it looks dated now. - electric parking brake - digital rear view mirror Nothing on the list is all that extreme. Too late, the car’s last year now. Unless they decide to move away from EV (slow selling) I think a lot of people bought the 4 cylinder which was for some years a Mercedes engine, hence a lot of the mix up the reliability here.
As an owner of one I completely agree. The only complaint I have with the 3.0 is it’s expensive to repair and parts are not cheap! On the contrary the car has minimal problems and the issues I have ran into with the car is all maintenance!
Both the 3.7 and 3.0t (base and RS400) are super fun cars to drive. They offer the comfort for normal driving, but when you want a more spirited drive, they deliver.
Those are pretty sweet. The Taurus SHO went from 2010-2019!! And it's still a super sleeper & affordable too...3.5L twin turbo it's the MiB 3 car LoLol
I have a Friend who is a big tuner/fabricator in our city he started off working on q50s on his drive way and now he owns a reputable shop where he works on exotics, the q50 is a great platform and just like any great platform there’s those who fucking ruin it for the rest of us
Fr my homie just got a q50 and it’s nice asfffff and he’s modding it tastefully lol he just converted the straight pipe from the previous owner back to a decent sounding exhaust
I’m 53 and i think it’s a good car. Its reliability is unmatched. 2016, I got in 2018, fast forward to 2024(6yrs) and had to do my first major repair@ 3200..valve body sensor. Still not bad after 6 years used cpo.. I’d do another but after a good refresh.
It is nice… if you want to stand out… get a m56 (5.6 v8) or a 2014 qx70(5.0 v8) I surprise a Challenger/Charger every time I get next to them with either… They are so under the radar since they weren’t as popular as the G…
I love Infiniti Q 50s and my cousin owns a nicely modified one. The only downside of it is them depreciating in price fairly quickly so I would suggest you purchase a used one and bargain.
I got a 2015 Q50S and i love it! I got it 2 months ago after my 2012 V6 Camry was totally by a moron. Only thing I will say is the Q50 eats up gas. Super fun to drive and worth it tho.
LOVE my q50’s. lots of issues though outside of engine and trans. engine and trans can run forever when maintained properly. they make 333 hp from a naturally aspirated v6….they tow 3300lbs and have a better sound system than probably anything you’ve heard before. AWESOME in the snow.
I agree. It absolutely is in a class above, the price point is amazing for newer enthusiasts or budget builds, while the performance rivals that of cars valued much higher. The looks are phenomenal also, can’t go wrong with a q50 🤷♂️
I think they are beautiful car I would like to own one you're right about the used ones you can buy them relatively pretty cheap and they come pre-loaded
Ive had a 2008 g35s i loved it i now have a 2009 g37x shits super clean and in a rare color red with black interior wish it was a 6 mount tho and i also have a 2007 m35 that shits like a cheap mayback lol i love infinitis there super fun and theyve always done me good
Qs have a rep of front collisions it’s actually funny when you look through. Had a collision center guy show me all the q50s they had or currently have n they all had front collisions. From the 2015 to current it’s a curse
I love my 2014 3.7 Snow White. Got her with 13k and now she’s at 157k. She will die with me never leading her go. If her engine go. I’m putting a turbo Honda K series in it. 😅 FYI, love her curves & G37 coupe and sedans.
I have a 2017 Q50 3.0t with no modifications except for a carbon fiber duck bill spoiler. I'd like to modify it slightly, but I have a baby on the way so I can't really justify spending too much money on mods right now. I love the car as it is though.
I wanted to sell my '17 Q60 to get a '69 mustang Mach 1 but when I found out how low it was valued, I decided to keep it until it dies instead. I'm at just over 105k miles and not a single issue.
I have a 2018 Q50 RWD 3.0t with 300 hp. I like it way better than a late model 2020 BMW 330i that I test drove. That experience made me not want a 3 series anymore. Unfortunately Infiniti as a brand isn't doing well and my dealership experience wasn't great, either but the car is fantastic. I've owned it since new. Actually, I first leased it, then bought it after the lease term. There was also a lot of criticism from the automotive press about the infotainment and touch screens but I couldn't care less. It's super comfortable, more than quick enough for me, has very effortless acceleration (I can only imagine the 400 hp version!!!) and is by far the best car I've ever owned. It's a great car. I don't care that it isn't an advanced computer. 😂

some of the nicest body lines youl get on a japanese car
3-time Q50 Owner! I've loved every one.
You're exactly right! It doesn't deserve the hate. Quite the contrary!
I have driven and owned many of the competitors you mentioned. I chose the Q50 simply because it's better.
If I was into sedans I would be going with this car and then an is as my second option buuuuut coupes are better I’m about to pick an 08 g37 6mt so excited
My 2014 has been the greatest first car anyone could ask for imo, never any problems and taught me how to “drift”
i’ve had two 2015’s, given me so many issues. and i take really good care of them. be lucky. like 6k in repairs before 70k miles in my latest one.
Should be a non argument. The car is reliable overall. You only hear an influx of problems because there’s an influx of modifiers. Like he said you get for the price? What else at that price point can give you up to 400 hp stock, awd, heated seats, paddle shifters, twin turbo, leather seats. Etc etc etc
You start out spanking 95% of anybody on the road off the lot.
I dont think anyones hating on these, maybe the interior but nothing else. Qs are underrated
why would they hate on the interior ? still badass in todays standards and was badass in 2014. the 16 speaker bose is better than mercedes or bmw or audi’s equivalent cars within the price range of the q50.
@@adamowens5507 Never was badass in any way, shape, or form. But its clean tho
@@adamowens5507 I would assume the same reasons I dislike the interior of my 2020 q50s
1.) outdated interior overall
2.) no digital gaugle cluster
3.) Dual screen setup outdated and lacks control ability
4.) Sport seats arent the best
5.) cabin design hasnt changed in 10 + years
Still love driving it though and I didnt buy it for the interior, however comparing to german counterparts, interior is definitely behind.
The new QX60 and QX80s have updated interiors and they look amazing, would love to see something similar in the next gen Qs
The Q50 is a beautiful car!
Vq>VR. My g37 was way more reliable redlined everyday for over 3 yrs never even needed a headlight. My Q blew up with 22 K on it.
Driver or car?
Those engines are so cheap you could have even thrown an LS in it for around 3 to 5 k and turn it into a hellcat killer. There is even a conversion kit for the Ls swap to use the existing tyranny and just swap the tranny out later on. You can get 800 hp to 1,000 hp, and that's stock. But 300 to 600 hp is more than enough to have fun and live to see another day 😂
@@xdeadwrongxdeadwrong7181bingo
Lol g37 all day. They don’t make em like they used to
Plenty of 3.0 reaching 200k miles
I just picked up a 2017 q50 sport with 37k miles. The front end is extremely nice. The interior is classic Nissan but it does have some cool features. Kinda reminds me of a 240sx if Nissan ever made a 4 door.
The base 3.0T puts 300 to the ground. It's underrated from the factory. For comparison, my LS1 Camaro baselined at 290 whp and was advertised as 305 at the crank. Factoring in drivetrain loss the base VR30 makes about 350 at the crank.
I love my q50 it’s so fun to drive, always had some f150 or Chevy trying to run me off the road in my Volkswagen so I needed the speed and she’s a beauty too!🤗🤗
If there was a manual trans version of it I would cop that shit
Man that teal color was clean this is still one of the fastest & best looking cars out there
The day I finally decide to get something to either replace or sit beside my G, it'll be a Q50 if I can find one in good (stock) condition. Beautiful vehicles with a beautiful history. I cant imagine wanting anything else after my G
I have the 2014 3.7L AWD Premium. Bought it new 10 years ago. I recently considered getting the 2024 IS350 and Audi A5 Sportsback. But I decided to keep the Q50 for a few more years. It still looks unique and nice in 2024. I upgraded the 17" stock wheels to 19" Niche 245/40/19s.
I have a 2014 q50s bought it with 50k miles im at 68k with zero issues love the car so comfy and amazing in the snow, hoping to drive this thing to 200k miles
I have owned the 2015 3.0 300 awd sport (ice blue). Loved this car so much, I got the q50 redsport awd in 2019. Zero problems. Just maintain it when it tells you too, plus maintenance for Japanese is relatively low $ and widely available.
Some updates would be nice:
- upgrade to the 9 speed twin turbo
- updated 360 camera
- add back the spare tire package (had this in my 2015)
- Get rid of the Dunlop sport max run flats (they are outdated, expensive, noisy and don’t last that long), Michelin Allseason 4, Pilot Sport Summer, Pirelli or Continental etc.
- ventilated seats
- update the infotainment, i don’t mind the dual screens but it looks dated now.
- electric parking brake
- digital rear view mirror
Nothing on the list is all that extreme. Too late, the car’s last year now. Unless they decide to move away from EV (slow selling)
I think a lot of people bought the 4 cylinder which was for some years a Mercedes engine, hence a lot of the mix up the reliability here.
As an owner of one I completely agree. The only complaint I have with the 3.0 is it’s expensive to repair and parts are not cheap! On the contrary the car has minimal problems and the issues I have ran into with the car is all maintenance!
Both the 3.7 and 3.0t (base and RS400) are super fun cars to drive. They offer the comfort for normal driving, but when you want a more spirited drive, they deliver.
Hating on the Q?!?! MADD.
People that hate on this car, just goes to show you how much they don't know about cars 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣🤣
Hands down best looking car to come out since 2014. When this came out every car manufacturer replicated the Q50 body and lines
Those are pretty sweet. The Taurus SHO went from 2010-2019!! And it's still a super sleeper & affordable too...3.5L twin turbo it's the MiB 3 car LoLol
I have a Friend who is a big tuner/fabricator in our city he started off working on q50s on his drive way and now he owns a reputable shop where he works on exotics, the q50 is a great platform and just like any great platform there’s those who fucking ruin it for the rest of us
They are actually nice tbh. Race a guy with one and I lost but man that sounded so good 😮💨
loved my 14 q50 i got a 17 years old. just got tottaled 2 weeks ago. moved into the q60
Fr my homie just got a q50 and it’s nice asfffff and he’s modding it tastefully lol he just converted the straight pipe from the previous owner back to a decent sounding exhaust
I’m 53 and i think it’s a good car. Its reliability is unmatched. 2016, I got in 2018, fast forward to 2024(6yrs) and had to do my first major repair@ 3200..valve body sensor. Still not bad after 6 years used cpo.. I’d do another but after a good refresh.
It is nice… if you want to stand out… get a m56 (5.6 v8) or a 2014 qx70(5.0 v8) I surprise a Challenger/Charger every time I get next to them with either… They are so under the radar since they weren’t as popular as the G…
I love Infiniti Q 50s and my cousin owns a nicely modified one. The only downside of it is them depreciating in price fairly quickly so I would suggest you purchase a used one and bargain.
I got a 2015 Q50S and i love it! I got it 2 months ago after my 2012 V6 Camry was totally by a moron. Only thing I will say is the Q50 eats up gas. Super fun to drive and worth it tho.
Seems like a direction a lot of car brands are heading towards nowadays. Infiniti sedans and coupes are pretty sweet cars, farewell to them.
LOVE my q50’s. lots of issues though outside of engine and trans. engine and trans can run forever when maintained properly. they make 333 hp from a naturally aspirated v6….they tow 3300lbs and have a better sound system than probably anything you’ve heard before. AWESOME in the snow.
I’m not big on inffinities . But I live sedans I’ll buy large sedans for the rest of my life .
HATERS goin HATE💯😈👌🏽
I agree. It absolutely is in a class above, the price point is amazing for newer enthusiasts or budget builds, while the performance rivals that of cars valued much higher. The looks are phenomenal also, can’t go wrong with a q50 🤷♂️
The Q50 would be amazing💯if they just did a refresh on the interior. It would bump up sales sooooo much.
Everyone always forgets the hybrids 😭 they're awesome
Love the 3.0t q50🔥
I think they are beautiful car I would like to own one you're right about the used ones you can buy them relatively pretty cheap and they come pre-loaded
Ive had a 2008 g35s i loved it i now have a 2009 g37x shits super clean and in a rare color red with black interior wish it was a 6 mount tho and i also have a 2007 m35 that shits like a cheap mayback lol i love infinitis there super fun and theyve always done me good
Enterprise car sales has a few of them.
I have the luxury of driving one every now and then and I love it
I went to the dealership to trade in my truck for either another truck or a SUV. I can home with a 2021 Infinity Q50. I love the car.
This is the budget sports car for 2024. 29 mpgs high way not bad! Less than 20k 300hp
Yess that color on the first 1 is trimmm
I will always go for red any day
Q50 with the VQ
That's what I got. Sort of wish I'd gotten the vr30. BUT slap a turbo on it and you're flying
It’s a good car
Whats the beat year for a Q50?
Qs have a rep of front collisions it’s actually funny when you look through. Had a collision center guy show me all the q50s they had or currently have n they all had front collisions. From the 2015 to current it’s a curse
I love my 2014 3.7 Snow White. Got her with 13k and now she’s at 157k. She will die with me never leading her go. If her engine go. I’m putting a turbo Honda K series in it. 😅
FYI, love her curves & G37 coupe and sedans.
I have a 2017 Q50 3.0t with no modifications except for a carbon fiber duck bill spoiler. I'd like to modify it slightly, but I have a baby on the way so I can't really justify spending too much money on mods right now. I love the car as it is though.
The front end is crazy underrated
There nice and sound really good with exhaust specially Q50 red sport 400
They are indeed turning into a crossover confirmed by an infiniti employee
Q50 Red Sport 400. 400 HP tt for less than 30k pre owned. Can’t beat that
I wanted to sell my '17 Q60 to get a '69 mustang Mach 1 but when I found out how low it was valued, I decided to keep it until it dies instead. I'm at just over 105k miles and not a single issue.
I have a 2018 Q50 RWD 3.0t with 300 hp. I like it way better than a late model 2020 BMW 330i that I test drove. That experience made me not want a 3 series anymore. Unfortunately Infiniti as a brand isn't doing well and my dealership experience wasn't great, either but the car is fantastic. I've owned it since new. Actually, I first leased it, then bought it after the lease term. There was also a lot of criticism from the automotive press about the infotainment and touch screens but I couldn't care less. It's super comfortable, more than quick enough for me, has very effortless acceleration (I can only imagine the 400 hp version!!!) and is by far the best car I've ever owned. It's a great car. I don't care that it isn't an advanced computer. 😂
I have a hybrid.
360 HP
31 MPG real world
4 wheel drive
Those are some impressive numbers
The Q50 competes more with the audi a6 and Mercedes E class it's a pretty large sedan at 190 inches long.
I love the color what is it? I am just looking at all these blues and that’s really nice.
That car is still sexy looking car..I still have my 2015 3.7 still stock looking just got tinted windows.
Had this when I was 16 she was reliable asf , pretty quick too 🫡😍
definitely great car I also owned q60s 500 hp !! fast
First 2 Q50s the homie Rajivv 💯
This video aged well. They discontinued the Q50 for the SUV’a 🤦🏾♂️
