The anonymity of the Infiniti is the one reason that I WOULD buy one, every poser and snob (and their dogs too) go for beemers, audi etc etc but a real enthusiast would know an Infiniti and that would be good enough reason for me...

These cars are under rated and are really good cars, well specked usually and reliable, i quite like them, a decent car and something a bit different, they will run forever that's a fact, nice to see a decent review of this car.

"Beauty's in the eye of the Keyholder" - very good Matt!

Driven one before the lockdown, totally agree Matt. Lovely interior. Did try the hybrid, quick!

Nice critique. I owned a 2014 Q50s for 3 years. Fantastic vehicle. Plenty performance and no major problems. I test drove a 535i, an S4, and a Lexus IS350. Price for performance was the reason I went with the Q50.

Hugely entertaining to watch. Great stuff!

Brilliant review. You have to be to best I'm subscribed to here. Just pure, clear, expert knowledge. I'd actually consider getting one of these now. Nice one

Another great review Matt , eveything anyone needs to know and put accross in your own inimitable style , I dont watch many car reviews on KZread but always click on any new one you upload, I do enjoy the one liners and references you make!! Keep the videos coming please chap.

Interesting review, my dad has one of these in the same colour, engine and it’s a sport too I believe. He’s loved having it but he’s now handing it back and getting a CT200h instead. He also had the 3.2L hybrid V6 version before but it was too juicy for his motorway journeys.

Really appreciate the honest video I was on the fence but will look to book my test drive

I test drove the Infiniti FX50S a few years back. Beautifully finished but incredibly thirsty. The Glasgow Infiniti dealership was indeed like a ghost town. I keep looking out for a Q50S 3.5hybrid to buy. Superb acceleration fuel economy, speed, comfort and above all unusual. It’s one of those where you can sit smugly seeing all the BMW and Audi battery hens drive past knowing you’ve got probably the driving bargain of the century. Great review Sir 👍👍.

Brilliant portrayal and interesting. Enjoyed the description a lot. Agree with you - outstanding value.

Marketing talk was perfect logic. Brilliant. Always enjoy these videos. This was one of my ‘if I take the opt out option’ cars. I always think it but still take the boring and easy option.

Top review. These have been on my radar for sometime ... Excellent left field choice

Another good down to earth review Matt.

Really enjoy your reviews even if haven’t got the slighted intention of buying the car being reviewed. Keep up the good work

Another spot on video with a unique high peak touch :)

I passed my test in November (at the age of 27) recently bought myself a 2014 Mazda 6 which I love. If I had seen something like this though it might of turned my head. Sometimes it pays to be open minded! Keep up the videos I genuinely look forward to them! (If you get a Mazda 6 I'd love to see the negatives youd find with it haha)

You dont see many infinitys in the uk I end up staring at them something different to see on the roads but tbh I'd have one in America lol

Entertaining video as always! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

Great video I've never seen one in Ireland it looks like a fine car looking forward to your next video 👍

Always keep my eye out for when you drive past Swizzels, used to work at a classic car restoration company opposite. Awesome vids!

Cracking in depth about a car I’ve never seen on the road Matt. Awesome review and entertaining better than watching tv😁👌💪

Interesting review on a car I never knew much about nor really cared to find out about. Interesting the positive review you give but as you say if you are slightly brave and get it at a good price. I remember at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor show, I was amazed at the Infiniti stand and the sheer volume of cars they had on display. The whole marketing and PR budget must have went into it!!

Great review once again, will definitely take a look out for this car on Auto trader!

Hi matt great review had me in stitches hope you are well best wishes Ian

Yrs you hit the nail on the head , a 1 Yr old 10k infiniti with all the extras on it , with 2 yrs left of warranty or a 7 Yr old range rover with 120k on the clock and no warranty for the same price , unfortunately most of us would plumb for the range ! Badge snobs and as the neighbour looks on your drive your doing well syndrome ! Keep them coming matt and good luck in the future 👍👍

I had a Q50 3.5h awd as a company car in 2015, left field choice at the time but it performed superbly in all areas. A total sleeper, good build quality, super reliable, Tax efficient, averaged 38 mpg for 3 years and 102k miles and was easily quicker than my business partners 530d (no contest in bad weather!) I should have bought it when the lease ran out as the Q50 is very popular in the states and there are loads of performance parts and mods that turn it into an animal. I have a BMW 530e G30 hybrid now, not in the same league on performance or build quality.

I own one, done 72k miles in it already. It's been great for driving around Scotland. You're MPG figures differ from mine a wee bit. I get 33 around town and 50 on the motorway, so the car tells me. But I'm more than happy with that.

I had one of these for almost 4 years, a really good car that was good to drive, comfortable and relatively quiet. As you say Infiniti went about the marketing all wrong and perhaps should have sold them through Nissan dealers initially instead of only having 7 dealers in the UK. I sent mine back at the end of the PCP as it wasn’t worth the final payment. Parts may become an issue, I had to wait a month for an ABS sensor to arrive as apparently it was a unique Infiniti part and not a generic Nissan one, also it cost well over £300. If anyone is thinking about buying a Q50 then go for it, just watch for minor electrical glitches and check parts availability.

Great review Matt, this really does look like a great car, thanks Bud

Great vid as usual - very informative and funny! 😂😂

Fantastic video! You're great man

You mention that people won't be interested in your car because its not a known brand but tbh, this is one of best looking cars I've ever seen, especially from the front.

'Beauty is in the eye of the keyholder' Priceless!! The most informed reviewer of them all.

Amusing and informative, as always.

A very honest and straightforward review

I think you are right, I don't remember seeing one advert on this car manufacturer!! Good looking motor (in my opinion). Many Thanks, Peace From London. 👍👍👍

Very popular in the Middle East with the FX range attracting younger drivers. Good review again Matt and I like the fact you mention rival options for your budget to consider and Infinity do some things very well. I eat linseed and soya bean bread instead of wheat so there are eclectic tastes to consider and satisfy! 😎

Hi Matt As always really enjoy your realistic review of used cars. A quick question, how do you rate q50s interior, ride quality, gearbox against Lexus is300h. Does infinity uses CVT like lexus or normal gearbox? Thanks

I quite liked some of the cars, they did a rare Q50 eau rouge with the mechanicals from the GTR, so was like an M5 rival, they also did the G35/37 coupe, convertible which was a more luxurious version of the 350/370z models, Q30/Qx30 models which were A class mercs underneath etc, plus the large FX models and so on, still see the odd one here and there.

Iv just brought a 2007 volvo v50 2.0d estate with loads of service history of my mate that's moving to Spain he basically gave it me for 200 quid nothing wrong with it either just a small dint on the rear wing that will pop straight out I dont know why but I find Volvo's cool lol

1:21 "Ah the keeping up with the Jones'" syndrome 🤣. I would personally buy this car (2nd hand that is). In fact I was looking at the M range particularly the hybrid. I quite like the idea of going against the crowd. In the peak of summer- imagine sitting there in your cooled seats and sunroof next to some guy in an older Merc with none of the options- but because he's in a Merc he thinks "I must be better than you". Great review as always.

Morning Matt: Yeah looks a nice suitably impressive car, bit big for my car parking space but then I used to have X-Types and big Merc's before the onslaught of Disco's and Evoques which sit and go nowhere.

so true i saw them all over in The US , i even had to ask a person about the brand , i think they look nice and never seen them before, so I'm one of them that like them :)

You’ve got a talent as a script writer mate!!😂✌️

You are absolutely right, yesterday I got in one and immediately bought it!! I’m Audi person but this infiniti got me so easily! Great features and greater price

True good banter.

Very amusing review. I have to admit having never heard of Infinity as a brand. The premium sector is pretty crowded with choice, so not surprising they found it hard to break into. Interesting that you can pick them up so cheaply now.

When we lived in the US these were so popular and always had great reviews.

I had one of these in Australia, bought it new S premium diesel. One of the best cars Ive owned and longest of most I've kept. the diesel auto was very frugal, the safety suite was outstanding best in class or better, things like AEB front and in reverse, all selectabel or de-selectable, on a relatively straight motorway it could self-drive itself. [There are videos on youtube showing its capability]. The were plenty pokey ie grunty nice and quiet comfortable, i had zero issues in the 4 years I owned it sold it with over 75,000km and it was still cosmetically and drive wise like it was new. Supremely safe, comfortable and solid. I miss that car.

I was looking at a Q30 for the missus for about a week when I realised it was basically a Mercedes GLA externally and internally, but without the associated costs. I was pleasantly surprised at what you get for the coin. Value for money wise, the brand is a great prospect for anyone looking for premium without the price to match, as Matt highlighted. I didn't go through with it and ultimately bought her (me 👀) a CLA 45 shooting brake for the added thrills. For more than double the money however, the interior of my AMG is definitely not double the quality of the regular Infiniti Q30 2.0 Sport I compared it against. Hopefully the brand makes another go of the European market, and actually promotes it's stock as described with a targeted campaign to get some traction as there's a lot of good to be said about premium at accessible costs 👍🏾.

Thanks for the great review. Your description on why Infinity failed is so true. Looking forward to more great vids.

A refreshing video. Double Infiniti owner here. First Q50 Hybrid and now a Q60 RS. I love the brand because it is unknown. The mainstream reviews didn't help, in their world, if it does not copy Audi/BMW then it must be wrong. The Hybrid is so incredibly fast off the line, with 40mpg, a ridiculously fast 370hp cruiser. But Q60 adds the high G performance but despite 400hp, because of the lack of an electric motor, is slightly less quick off the line, the acceleration is seemingly an unending surge. Disagree with the looks. I love the styling, refreshing not to be another wannabe German shape. I agree with the model naming, I can't understand it either. Infiniti engineering is top drawer. But the company is managed by complete idiots. Now that Ashley Sutton has won the BTCC championship in a Q50, maybe the second-hand market will get a boost. The prices of the Q60s seem very healthy, but still incredible value. Oh and one more thing, only very specific Nissan dealers will do any complex work on these cars. Servicing could be an issue. Research carefully. And budget in ditching the stock Dunlop Sport Maxx run-flats. The performance versions of these cars are typically and utterly transformed moving to non-run-flats. I have Goodyear Eagles.

Thanks keep up the good work.Great car

I didn't know they made Q50's without sunroofs. Great vid though I'm on my 2nd Infiniti Q50 I had a 3.7 and now a 3.0TT and I chose it over the holy trinity because it's an amazing car in every way possible from its reliability to performance, and looks, the tech is a little out-of-date but that's it, the only car I'd get to replace my Q50 is a Genesis G70. I had a Audi A4 previous to my Q50 and was very happy with my switch, it's also much better than the Lexus IS and Acura TLX as well..

After watching this, I bought one. Wife seems to think its bags better than the C class, never driven it after she had a go. She decided its hers. Thinking about getting the Q70 as well. Its just a nice car to own. Thank you for the tip.

I've always really liked these. That particular model you have in this video looks brilliant in my opinion especially in white. Personally I would take the smooth and powerful Nissan sourced V6 hybrid. Very cool car though. I would happily take one over more obvious rivals.
