I do have multi staged heated seats, if you hit the button a few times, it will go from auto, high, mid and low. I do wish it had a spare tire and power folding mirrors, great review!

I love it too. I took it in the dealership for a scratch and i got the basic model as a rental, and I must say mine is pretty dope.

It does have multi-stage heated seats. What you didn't realize is that when you click that button, you toggle between the different stages on the screen. One of the options is "auto" which let's it automatically set the heat temperature

I currently have a G37x with the VQ engine and I love it. I'm so happy Infiniti kept the sport exhaust, even if it's an option, because there are some buyers out there that don't care about ride noise. However, there are a lot of speculation out there that Infiniti is at risk of leaving the US market. I don't know if it is true. I really want to trade mine in for a Q50 Red Sport. Infiniti keeps reporting that they are working on newer models that should be launching later this year but due to COVID-19 these dates could be delayed until next year. I really hope Infiniti doesn't exit the US market because they are the Japanese BWM.

Agreed. Thank you for your thoughts

Heated seats are not single stage. They are auto, high, med, low. It shows you on the upper screen.

correction: The heated seats are 3 stages + 1 auto stage. Either you press the button repeatedly until your desired stage, or you select it from the climate screen.

Wow 👏 😮 I really like how it sounds in sport mode ++

Good review overall. I crossed shopped the 2019 flavor of this car with a Mercedes C43 and this car is by far a better buy. Infiniti routinely gives $10K off these cars and will even offset the sales tax on top of that $10K. A similarly equipped C43 is around $65K plus tax. I get that some people hate the dual screens but there are not many sedans that offer this level of performance and options for anywhere near this price point. PS - The seats offer 4 heating modes: auto, high, medium and low. It is worth mentioning this car has full surround view cameras with ultrasonic parking sensor front and rear.

I made the reverse change. I owned a RS400 and traded for a C43. The performance is similar, but the handling of the RS is poor in comparison. I liked the RS, but as everyone complains, the interior and infotainment are sub standard for a $55K+ car.

Gregg Chottiner Glad you found a car you are happy with! The C43 is a very nice car, it just comes with a $15K premium option for option. You can get it prices closer if you do not car about some of the options. I am curious other than the infotainment system and screens, what’s your chief complaint about the RS400 interior?

I have a 2017 redsport and love it! my seats have 4 heat settings. Not sure what safety features this is missing it has every bell and whistle i can think of. In terms of value - when I bought mine the german cars with similar features were $15-20K (canadian) more and were missing 50-70 ponies under the hood, so id rate this a 10 for value. Twice I have gone car shopping for a Merc and both times came home with an Infiniti as they were much better value and had way more horsepower. I dumped the run flat OEm tyres for some Mich pilotsport 4S and its a completely different car. Much quicker, more agile, great braking, quieter just way way better. If you buy one, upgrade the tyres . I added the sport exhaust and it sounds much better too. Im 3 years in and loving this thing more every time I drive it.

That’s excellent advice. I agree, better tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 plus and a sport exhaust makes it a completely different car and certainly something to contend with the Germans.

The Regular one would be more reliable if you are planning to keep the car for a longer period of time since there is less pressure on turbos

The safety score is not very fair in this video as they didn't give you the fully loaded version of the car that has all of the additional safety features that are available on this car.

Single twinscrew turbos these days like in the bmw 340i and the supra have essentially no lag. You dont NEED two turbos to deal with lag. Its one way to deal with it. Also its a 3 liter. She is acting like its a 2 liter eclipse with an oversized turbo where maxboost hits at 4000 rpm.

I wish I had stepped up to the Red Sport instead of settling for just the Sport. I love the lack of turbo lag. That drove me nuts in the Audi :)

I love my Red Sport. Don't get DAS, the electronic steering is fine. The Stock tires are horrible Dunlop run flats, go plus to Michelin, stock wheels can take 255/40/zr19 fronts and 285/35/zr19 rears, huge difference. Add the Nismo factory exhaust and you have a throaty (not obnoxious) luxury sports sedan that will do 0-60 in 4.5 all day long.

Okay I’m starting to think Infiniti changed the fake engine noise for 2020 Q50’s. Anyone else think so? I’ve watched a couple vids of 2020’s that don’t make the obnoxious angry cat noise. Personally I’ve always hated the sound of this engine with the fake noise on so I turned mine off. I know a lot of people like it but it sounds too fake to my ears. It’s much better without it but it’s no German V6 or I6. Mine is a 2018 Q50 Red Sport. I wish it had the updated infotainment system, it looks a bit more responsive. This is a pretty favorable review overall which is nice, I think these cars are better than people give them credit. It does have multi state heated seats though, not sure why she said it doesn’t. You have low, medium, high and auto heat modes.

Looks pretty much the same as my 2014 Q50

I love my 2018 Q50 3.0t Lux. But once you get a taste of a little horsepower, you want more! Even though Infiniti and Nissan Corporation are in serious financial trouble and may not survive this latest problem with covid-19 killing car sales, I would love to get my hands on a real bargain priced Red Sport. For me the Infiniti Q50 checks all the boxes, it’s user friendly for a Senior like me and it handles any situation that comes down the road. It’s handles great on icy roads, snow, heavy rain and is rock solid at high speeds. I haven’t had any problems with the car except a small rattle coming from my windshield that was replaced by safelite (small pebbles and sand are a hazard living near the beach). I just have to wait to see how Nissan survives along with Infiniti and would like to see what they do with the 2021 model.

Would have liked to see what you registered for 0-60. I watched another review that stated there was no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto offered. Also, just old style gauges for $60K? No sale!

Why does she keep calling it a "250"....where did that come from? It's a "3t Red Sport". Dated? No. Some of her "ratings" don't seem to equate with what she has described. Otherwise....a good review.

@@CarCoachReports Toyota's philosophy as I understand it is stability above all else. It is why their cars take years before they are updated. They want to maintain their reputation for bulletproof reliability. Infiniti being part of Nissan does not exactly have much of a reputation for reliability so the least they could do is make the latest tech available. Back to Toyota though, some of their choices are maddening. For example, the 2019 Corolla Hatchback does have Apple Carplay but does not have Android Auto. However for 2020 it has both and the Sedan is left with only Apple Carplay. How does THAT make any sense! The head units and software for both cars is IDENTICAL! SMH....

This is quite possibly the most overrated entry-level luxury sport sedan in the market.This car model is out dated since 2014 it came out and still looks the same with minor rear light adjustment in 2017. I used to have a 2015 Infiniti Q50 3.7L and yes i agreed it rides very well and performance is great so i can imagine a Red Sport 400 being twice better with 400 horses but the interior of this car is a mess with out dated technology features and old looking cheap materials. Even the Nissan Maxima looks better than this vehicle interior. There is a reason why this vehicle has a poor resale value. It wears off fast. Materials are very cheap and resembles lots of Nissan parts. This vehicle is not worth 60k. In fact in a year it will be worth 40k. There are so many vehicles you can get for less than 60k that has similar performances and better interior quality. The 2019 Genesis G70 3.3L is hands down better than this vehicle. I own this vehicle and I can tell you it makes this vehicle look out dated. I would also take the Kia Stinger GT 2 over this vehicle any day as well. I compared these two vehicles with the Infiniti Red Sports and just makes this car look like the most overrated vehicle in the market. Anyone trying to spend 60k on this vehicle should compare other vehicles first. Vehicles like Genesis G70, Kia Stinger (even base version), Acura TLX are less than 60k and is a better option than the Q50.
