If you watched my Lexus GS-F review, you might think that I have something against Japanese cars. But that's not the case. My first and favorite car was a 1995 Nissan Maxima and coming in close second is my Infiniti QX80. So deep down, I wanted to love this car.

I had a Q50 Red Sport coming from a G37x- which I love (the G, not the Q). I so badly wanted to love the car but ended up trading it after only 6 months as I found myself liking it less, not more. Went with a '18 M3 with Comp and Performance packages and love it more the more I drive it- the way it should be. Both the Q50 and Q60 are just a few substitutions away from being real competitors!

His review is the honest & cold truth. Frankly, the Q60RS is a Cadillac Eldorado by Infiniti. Not a bad car , this Q. But it’s not an enthusiast machine. Seeing as its predecessor was the amazing G37, that hurts. As he said, it’s not the car we need it to be.

As a 2018 Q60 owner, I have to agree. But what needs to be mentioned is that if you enjoy car for what it is? It’s great. I don’t race it or track it. I enjoy the ride, and attention the car gets. And every now and then I like to get on the gas and it goes.

Unlike these limited, short drive impressions, I've owned a '17 Q60 Red Sport AWD since December 2016, with an MSRP of $56k USD - try to find an Audi S5, MB C63, etc. at that price point! The V37/CV37 platform (2016+ Q50/2017+ Q60) has solid aftermarket support, which I have found makes this platform an absolute blast to drive, yet a sleeper all-in-one. On the CV37 platform (coupe), Infiniti used a brand new body and engine (VR30) in 2017 (The VR30 engine won Ward's Engine of the Year when it debuted). Much of the associated running gear was sourced from the existing parts bins, but for the price-point, in baseline form it functions well for most consumers. For owners like me who want to upgrade, the 300-hp/400-hp VR30 responds well to tuning & exhaust. My Q60 puts down just under 450WHP and just over 500 WTQ on a Dynojet AWD dyno, with pump gas (no E85 or methanol adders). As for the stock Akebono brakes, a set of Motorsport pads and Z1 Motorsport 2-piece rotors helps address braking performance. In my case, I upgraded to StopTech 6-pot FRTs and 4-pot RRs w/2-piece rotors. In terms of comfort, Infiniti hit it out of the park with the Red Sport interior. I completed a 2800 mile road trip in my Q60 last year, and the seating position and support allowed long stints of seat time w/o pain or soreness. The weakness in the platform is the selection by Infiniti of the Dunlop Sport Maxx CTT RFTs on the AWD versions - absolutely kills handling, imparts a harsh ride (due to RFT sidewalls), and is the worst tire for driving in wet conditions. One of the 1st mods that should be done. In fact, if I had known then what I know now, I would have had the dealer change these out at delivery!

Well said, I feel like this guy was just bashing on Infiniti the whole time. Like you I also have an '18 Infiniti Q60, and I feel like the platform is great. All you've gotta do is throw on a tune and your problems are fix, especially with the transmission. I've got the Stage 3 package with AMS performance and just for $3000, your car gains 120+ horsepower with if you add an exhaust. Idk, this video tilted me a bit 🤷‍♂️

I love that the video was all on the car, a lot of auto reviews are small clips of the car and mainly on the reviewer talking. Also your voiceover telling us the facts about the car in a story telling way was very creative. And kudos for not sugar coating anything and being honest.

Not sure...I drove this same car as a rental while on vacation in California. Up and down from Malibu to Santa Monica and from L.A to Sequoia National Forest. I was impressed with it. I'm thinking you expected this to be an all out sports car. And it's not. It's a luxury car 1st. With a little bit of sport added to it. Enough to keep up or even pull away from your typical muscle cars. Chargers, Challengers, Mustangs. For 40k, this car isn't bad at all.

Based on this review, I'm simply going to say you are not the target audience for this thing, whatsoever. I've had sport/performance/muscle cars all my life, but these days at 46 years old, I prefer a softer ride. This thing is perfect for that, and for the money, it is hard to beat. Not to mention, it looks fantastic. I recently picked up a mint condition dealer demo 2019 Q60 AWD Luxe with 5800 miles on it for $37k. After adding a JB4 to up the boost which took 5 minutes to install, the car pretty well hauls ass by street standards. The transmission tuning sucks. Interior is comfortable and nice enough. The infotainment is dated, but to be fair it does everything I want it to do. It handles well enough, but is definitely not a track car. It is really good in the snow. The AWD system also does a great job of putting power down even when WOT in a turn, etc. Good car, I like it so far. I'm glad it is quiet, I was over loud exhaust 20 years ago.

This was edited like a movie, lol. I'm intrigued.

I’ve never seen cars being reviewed like this and I gotta say I like it a lot. It’s not a long video about some ppl just walking around it for mins and mins, you show beautiful views of the car with cinematic scenes rather than seeing the car reviewer face the entire time while test driving it.., lot information on the car and how it feels and even a full pov straight line floor- nice.

I owned a G37S coupe and man it was so much fun to drive. Although it was heavy, and the automatic transmission was slow, it had so much personality. So much charm; sharp steering, ridiculous exhaust that would encourage you to keep accelerating, and downshift rev matching that made even slowing down fun. Such a shame that this new model doesn’t live up to the G-coupe legacy.

Love the honest review. Rarely seen since most of those reviewing cars are afraid to say it like it is because of fear of losing sponsors. Well done.

First time watching your video and the cinematography, and sound is just perfect. One of the best car review I've seen in a while.

Editing and story telling in this review was 🔥🔥🔥🔥, felt like I was watching an HBO documentary.

Man I swear you have the best voice and demeanor in motoring journalism. I always enjoy watching your reviews

Love the story you've added to this episode and what a beautiful mountain road!

I like the gorgeous autumn scenery. It blends well with the Q60. Nissan designs good looking cars. It is agreeable that this infinity is not as strong, heavy and stable as others in the class, but if you like Japanese cars and you need power, luxury, convenience, look and value, you should seriously consider the Q60.

This was a top-notch review. The content, cinematography (including lighting), narrating, editing, and over all artistic style was fantastic-great job! You just earned a sub.

I certainly agree, I own a 2017 RS and it is more Luxury then Sport, which is why I bought it. It does feel like it should’ve came with a bit more power and an upgraded transmission but for me it was worth it.

Q60 is a beautifully designed car. I own a redsport. The biggest thing that holds it back is the transmission. The infotainment is dated as well. It's overpriced brand new but the used market is great for consumers. You are getting a 400hp well built car for 40k or less. It looks better than the Euro counter parts and it has high tuning potential. Instead of being a GT car they should have went more in on the sport aspect. Make it like an Audi A8. Give it better driver traits and offer digital dashes. It's a confused car that should have went more in on sport than it did. That being said I do like the car. You can tune it to be more of a sports car and you can make the transmission feel a little better with those tunes.

Amazing video, you just earned yourself an instant subscriber.

You bought the right car. I drove one today and that's coming from a 2008 G37/370gt guy with a rare 6sp manual (which I've had for 7 years). Yeah they need an exhaust to increase the drama. It's a shame it doesn't come in a manual and it isn't as exciting as my g37 which I have dialed in, but damn they pull and will pull much more with exhaust and tune. They handle very well for a GT car which is what it is, it ISN'T a sports car. What this guy completely misses is when it's YOUR MONEY knowing that the Infiniti will be a far superior ownership experience than a German car goes along way. I have treated my G37 brutally. It's never gone to a dealership, never. I service it myself. Any small issue has been an easy enough fix, including changing my own clutch. Try saying that about an Audi moneypit. Unfortunately, in Australia these are so damn rare, because Infiniti doesn't sell here anymore, I am seriously considering flying to the other end of the country to buy the car in the colour and spec I would like, there's only 3 for sale in the country. I was lucky enough to drive one today.
