Good Ride

Replaced my Acura Tl, Bought the Q50 Sport AWD with a lot of options, also looked at the Lexus GS 350, it was much easier to work with the Infiniti dealers than Lexus. The ride is very comfortable & the turbo is very responsive. The only drawback on the Q50 is that ventilated seats are not available, you would think for a $55,000 car it would be.

Rocketship

You will not be disappointed by a Q50 Red Sport 400. It is the fastest Infiniti and car I have ever owned and is extremely comfortable as well. I would suggest to anyone to check one out at Sawgrass Infiniti in Tamarac, Florida. I cannot say enough good things about this car.

Awesome Car

Been driving a C300 for a couple years. After looking at the new C300, E350, BMW and Lexus - Infiniti won! The Q50 Sport is an awesome car, completely loaded for tens of thousands less than its competition! Highly recommend.

Looks good on paper...

On paper, this Q50 Sport is a great car, less expensive and more capable than BMW 3-series or Mercedes Benz C-class. However, handing is awful, worse than any other car I have owned or driven, including SUVs! Q50 is not new to power steering foes. 2015 has its issues with Direct Adaptive Steering. 2016 has gone to electric assisted power steering on the Sports model with the second generation DAS being an option. Being well aware of the issue with the first generation DAS, I elected to get base electric power steering. The car, however, wanders whichever way the road takes it, which is specifically evident at highway speeds. If you hold the steering wheel perfectly straight, the vehicle starts pulling in one direction, after correcting it, it pulls in the other. We have seen number of reviews on infinitiq50.org forum about this issue, some owners indicating that Run Flat Tires (RFTs) are causing this behavior. I don?t know for certain and I?m not willing to replace tires on the brand new vehicle. In few months I will trade it in and get something else, although at a loss. Other than this issue and few deficiencies with the infotainment system, such as lack of useful applications and slow response, this car has been good. Acceleration is excellent, but the poor steering takes all the fun out of driving it.

Awesomist car ever

I purchased the Q50s red package. The power of this engine is amazing! It is dangerously fast and responsive in a good way. The styling inside and out is sporty, stylish and comfortable. Very rare that my husband and I agree on a vehicle, but this one impressed both of us. Fabulous upgrade from my mom-mobiles of the past 10 years.
