2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0t Premium RWD // review, walk around, and test drive // 100 rental cars

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is rental car number 84 and today I'm driving the 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0t Premium. This is a 4-door sedan that's marketed as a "compact executive car". I'm not exactly sure what that's suppose to mean, but I can tell you that it feels luxurious...to a point.
Production began on the Q50 back in 2013 and it feels like it's AT LEAST that old. All the technology in this car feels outdated and isn't very useful. For example, there's two large screens in the center console that barely have any capabilities. In other words, great to look at, not so great to actually use.
I'm sure back in 2013 this was the the best in class, but not any more. Don't bet me wrong, I really enjoyed trying the Q50. This has rear wheel drive with 300 hp and a powerful V6. It's fun to drive. I just can't recommend this car over others at this price range. I really hope Infiniti (Nissan) updates the Q50 soon....because it needs it desperately.
And a quick note, but can someone please show me how to fold down the back seats? I spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure it out and a failed. Miserably. KZread wasn't even helpful!
Anyway, thanks for taking time out of your day to watch my video. Let me know your thoughts. Honestly, I'd love to hear from you. Cheers!

    Just bought a used 2017 tech package and love it. I'm always puzzled at why some people think the inside of this car is blend. I've shopped for BMW, Mercedes and Audi and this car is BY FAR, to me anyways, the greatest looking inside. Plus it is well building with quality material compared to the others. Finally, you would have to pay more for the same in others.

    I really enjoyed renting this car. The ride is very smooth and quiet and combined with the nice horse power, you could easily get a speeding ticket. I think all the cons could be offset by the price of the vehicle.

    Wow! That is a REALLY high mileage rental. I’m sure you are either one of the last or the last renter of this unit. We have already sold many of our 2018 Q50’s, so to see this 2017 model still in the fleet is very surprising. I can’t believe the trunk trim all broken!

    100 Rental Cars Well luxury cars lose value fast because more people don’t want to buy a used rental luxury car with 40,000 miles on it. So most luxury rental cars are only kept till about 20,000 miles.

    I like how Enterprise/National orders these in 3.0t trim rather than the base engine. I'm always happy to take one of these when I see them on the Aisle as the engine sounds great. Too bad Enterprise doesn't order the 3 series or C class with the bigger engine.

    The seats do actually fold but only in certain models. The models that do will have a pull release in the trunk on the left and right side. I'm pretty sure the one you were driving did not have folding seats so they compensated with the pass through instead.

While I agree that the car should have Apple Car Play I just picked up 5 years and 50,000 miles for $6,000 plus a bit better gas mileage. I win.

    The current Maxima is far superior and a much better value than this car. You literally are paying for a difference in badge. Maxima gets all modern safety features, has a much newer infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, better instrument cluster display, heated and cooled seats, folding rear seats, and just a better overall attention to detail. For $40,000 you get none of that which is a joke for Infiniti. Not to mention the rear view mirror and the front panel for the lights and sunroof controls come right off of an Altima. Infiniti's are not worth their price tags.

    Still has the same two touch screen layout that's been around from the 2017 that almost everyone complains about and no Apple CarPlay. No it is not a better value if the only thing it has is AWD. A 2018 Q50 LUXE for $40,000 doesn't even have the Bose sound system along with a slew of other features standard. Sorry but just because it has a different badge does not make it a better value. For $40,000 a Maxima Platinum gets you a dual panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled seats, ascot leather, heated steering wheel, LED headlights, 11 speaker Bose sound system, a newer infotainment system, and a much better quality instrument cluster display. Infiniti's are too much for what they are and personally, the Maxima's interior design looks superior to that of the Q50 despite a different emblem badge.

    Sorry you didn't like my video. These are rentals I get for work, so I usually don't have time to stop and clean them before I film. In fact, usually I barely have enough time to film at all. Also, the camera tends to show waaaay more dust than you can see in real life, so I don't even notice until I get home and start editing. Anyway, I hope you'll check out one of my other (cleaner) videos. Cheers!
