5 Things I Dislike About MY Infiniti Q50 Sport ( MUST WATCH ) 

This video did its job, NEGATIVITY SELLS! ‼️Be sure to check out the 5 things I like about the Q50 video as well! LINK IS IN THE DESCRIPTION ‼️ AUDIO WARNING ⚠️ @1:56 LOUD SOUND FOR HEADPHONE USERS ⚠️

People buy turbo cars and don’t know how to use them , you are supposed to let idle so the oil can get out the turbos before shutting it down or else it will stay in the turbo and melt until it turns like hard chocolate which messes up the turbos, specially after doing pulls on it.

Yeah I would definitely have to agree with the mirrors being an issue. If any “luxury” car requires that the mirrors be adjusted manually then it’s not really luxury!

I have a 2014 3.7 it has been flawless

I bought a lease return (used) 2020 Q50 3.0t LUXE with 26k mi about a month. The only thing I can complain about is the transmission. When I am coasting to slow down in traffic the transmission takes a second to react to me pressing on the gas again. It jolts a bit for the downshift, then the car gets going. I hope ATF fluid fixes this, as it only has 26K mi but it has never been changed according to my carfax report.

I agree with you on a few of your dislikes. Infotainment definitely could be better and and told myself the same thing, why didn't they put a boost gauge, transmission temp...more useful info. Runs flats are coming on a lot of cars now a days unfortunately. Enables them to save weight, by not having a spare on board and increase fuel economy. I thought it would have power folding mirrors too. Even my 2004 Nissan Maxima had that. I'm all about the turbos though. Turbo's on any car, will not last forever. Unfortunately Nissan/Infiniti went with the cheapest ones, so when people start tuning and running JB4, lifespan is gonna be even shorter. They already spin up to 250000 rpm stock. That's insane. Didn't want another N/A vehicle this time. I have a Red Sport and it is a thrill to drive.

I agree on the 5th dislike about the car. Really wish they had automatic close and open mirrors, would’ve been a nice feature. They have that feature on this car only in different countries tho, idky not in the U.S

2014 3.7 going strong. Changed drive belt for maintenance but not a problem.

Infiniti made the first dipstick to long so it would be low on oil and look like it was still okay. So people were blowing turbos out because of lack of oil. They fixed the dipstick In 2018. Turbos burn oil. If you drive the cars hard and don't check your oil every 1-2k miles then yeah you'll blow your turbos.

None of those complaint are valid. I have a Q50 and I absolutely love it.

I think it's psychologically clever how automakers keep adding features you don't need but want on cars and have consumers wanting more when a car falls short of that laundry list. Look at it from a logical perspective as opposed to an emotional one. You have a great looking car that looks great drives great and has less things to break.

Tires on brand new cars are made softer then tires you usually buy later in the life of a car. They are made this way to give you a smoother and softer ride when test driving it. This is why Infiniti didn’t want to replace your tire because they would have to special orders it because only the manufacture has them.

Spot on sir, my tires suck, fuel economy is not on the dash, the mirrors and the noise in the cabin is not what I expected in a Infinity.

Honestly my ‘15 q50s has been great. Only things I wish it had was folding mirrors and apple car play. Everything else has been great. Love the style and if I wanted to mod, plenty of bolt on mods!

Im 16 y/o and looking forward to buy my first q60. Its a lotta money, but its def worth it!

I have a Q50 Sport here in the UK and it has the electric fold in mirrors. Can't believe they would have an inferior spec for the US market.

I have a luxe and I love it no complaints yet

Wow thanks for the video. I once regarded this car as a top notch vehicle.

I can feel you going towards mercedes or bmw , i left infiniti 10 yrs ago and i just bought a cls53 amg 2022 and i seen this video below a mercedes video

I have a 19Q50 3.0t luxe I got it last year round this time I had 0 problems! I absolutely love this car if u keep up the maintenance you wouldn’t have any problems 😅

what year was your car? 2021? because im thinking about getting the 2021 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD

Why didn't you check all of this before you bought the car 🤔

The info system on my 2022 q50 is really nice. There is no lag plus andoid auto works great. I can have the maps on the top screen while I have my music on the bottom screen. The 2022 models also have standard controllable folding mirrors.

Problem with turbos is they shouldn’t be in daily drivers it’s not the type of car where your rushing out the house to get to work start and go… turbos are and should only be in high end sports vehicles.

I think it would be dope if you put some wheels on that bad boy, maybe a window spoiler to... whip is dope tho for sure

Love the comments. All of the guys that know about the RX8 understands the turbo cool down. Hey Hondas use to use turbo timers. Bring them back, lol we need them lol😂😂😂😂

2017 3.0tt no issues at all besides one belt replacement for $250

I don't like the run flat tires either... They are hard to repair... It's more like they are made to replace than repair...

You gotta adjust the mirrors on some flintstone shit?! I’m def going wit the gs

2014 Q50s Certified with 20 k miles when bought in 2018. GPS failed (froze) repeatedly. Dozen or so trips to dealer, rebooting and replacing parts under warranty. Rebuilt unit also froze. Finally replaced with brand new system. Still occasionally won’t turn on (black screens). Run-flat tires awful. Blew 7 in 18 months. Paid for 4 of them. Finally replaced with regular Bridgestone tires. Car has spare from factory. No problem in over 40 k miles. Paint very soft; easily chipped by pebbles. Need a full repaint. Still, love the car. My wife has a 2015 q60s, bought certified with 20k miles. She only averages 900 miles a year! We’re often asked if it’s for sale! Service manger wanted to buy it last year. No.

Keep going Nephew!

I got a 2017 hybrid S and mine got the controls inside to adjust the mirrors

I had 2018 Q50S AWD and I agree with these items. Mostly tires and garbage infotainment system. Also packaging on this vehicle (at least for 2018) was horrible. $50k MSRP and the vehicle didn't come with memory seats and came with base audio. The brakes may looks cool and sporty, but they are also trash and required replacement at 30k miles. The pad still had decent life remaining, but the rotors started to wobble and the car was shaking under braking like crazy.

I agree I have the same car just had the turbos replaced under warranty at 27K miles they went bad I did beat on the car tho so I expected it

Notification squad we in here # 🚗 🚘

They are just so beautiful buying my first car would you recommend (I worked and got the money for a new one)

Japanese market has the power folding mirrors

Good video man. Subscribed!

What year is it? Great vid. Thanks for posting!!

do u have the tech package if so do u have a camera in the grill ?

I see you got your channel from the safe deposit box at the bank 🤣

the reason people blow the turbos and sometimes the motor is because they use 0-20 oil and beat the car up for 10k miles before they think to change it, i have a 2016 red sport and in the summer i use 5-30 synthetic and change it every 3-4k, my car has been tuned for 30k miles at 20psi and I boost it all day, zero mechanical issues except an injector clog probly from running e30 , if you race your car you cannot follow the 10k mile oil change routine that isnt for you!

None of that stuff matters. Main question is it reliable??

complaint number 2 is a TSB performed for free and isnt NEARLY an issue the morons on facebook pretend it to be. same goes for the "turbo issues". most of those failures are from lack of maintenance and straight up abuse. tires? really? thats a wear item, get over it. theyre runflats to save weight and cost. use regular tires and get AAA. i do agree with you, runflats for any car suck. power folding mirrors would be nice but i can count on one hand in my entire life that i ever thought about folding mirrors. export Q50s have power folding mirrors, its entirely possible to retrofit them if youre mechanically inclined.

Congrats! All yeah no boost gauge

I'm loving my QX50, but my man I agree with you on the mirrors and infotainment. Like my 2006 BMW 325i had a button that folded the mirrorsin. Also, maybe this is just a BMW thing, but I miss my seats fitting me like a glove. I could adjust them 12 different ways. but BMW missing me with that subscription shit for features the car already got

What are the life span on these cars? If you keep maintenance up to date n all

I've had 4 infinitis M37 2011, I think, g37 2013, Q50 3.0t 2019 didn't like. Q50 2015 3.7 easier to work on. Oil change 15 mins. All vehicles over 100k. Only 1 problem the g37. Issues I brought on myself. Hard driver. Changed my own serpentine belt. Plus 100k. Starter.(Note only changes brushes) cost about $80. Easy.

2014 Infiniti Q50s any good 🤔

Take your car to some other mechanic shop and they can change your tires to something other then run flats. Infinity won't do it because they have to put their tires on the car. But any other tire you get will be so much better and cheaper. It's 2000 to get a full set of tires. That's the same cost as Corvette tires and these aren't nearly as high performance. When you change to some non run flat tires you will absolutely love the ride.

Nice video! I'm still on the fence about going with either a 2018 Q50 Luxe 3.OT or a 2019 Maxima SL or SR. But yea I've read and heard about the infotainment system being less than desirable 😆

Dope video

"Turbos... I don't like that." I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one.

I bought a Q50 Sensory Limited. I hate the runflat tires as well, but when mine got a small nail in one of them, they told me that they could not patch it, and that it was NOT under warranty. I had to buy a tire package. A brotha was able to patch the tire, but he didn’t put enough air in the tire. I’m taking the runflats off by year’s end, and get some Goodyear’s. As for the mirrors, mine fold down by themselves when it’s apparent they may get hit, but other than that, I have to control them from the inside. My car is a 2021 Q50 Sensory Limited that I was forced to buy after my 2017 Challenger Scat Pack with 42,000 miles on it was stolen from me. I love the infotainment system, but it does lag and attracts hella dust. If the economy was so bad, I would’ve gotten a Red Sport 400. Are you going to get some black rims for your car?

I love my q50 but I hate that it doesn’t have ambient lighting. Like damn my 2014 mustang even had it

The number one- bro is a luxury car no a sport car I know you have power but do not is for drag, Number two is part of the maintenance what do think on a twin turbo engine , no space for work Number three , are you serious, you do not how a turbo car work and I think you never have that issue before, Number four, rims 😂😂😂😂 come on 😂😂. Let me stop here 😂😂😂😂😂 this guy 😂😂😂

2:34 YEAH IT’S TWIN TURBO WE OUT HERE BABY!!!

Good vid brother, They are my dislikes also. I have 2020 Q50 They really cheap out on the accessories, no blindspot monitoring, the trunk struts suck. Lid slams down. No miles or klms to go till empty displayed, no memory seats, No compass, I guess its all about the engine, but pretty sad for a supposedly luxury car.

My infotainment isn’t bad, just takes awhile to load & will act stupid sometimes 👎

The steering feel is terrible. That my biggest issue. I prefer my G37.

I own a 2019 Q50s n it’s a really nice fun reliable car no car is perfect so it all just depends on the consumer compared to most Audi & BMW the few downfalls the Q50 have is not to bad for what Infiniti was trying to do with this car

Cool video brother !!!

I think I messed my motor up can it be replaced with a Different motor?

What? Number 5? Really? I have a 2014 Q50 (technically a Skyline because I live in NZ), and it not only has side mirrors that close automatically when the car is turned off, but also a button/switch on the door that flips them in or out. That's weird.

I'm looking to buy an Infiniti 2.2D diesel. Are they reliable at all?

Okay then brotha car look clean

First thing that suck about the q50 is the fact that you have to manually close your mirror 😆😆😆😆😆 So happy I have the exact and car Japanese version and it has auto fold mirror

i got my tires replace once n paid for heavy heavy duty n tires been straight ever since. jus pay for the extra on tires instead of running back every few thousand miles.

Great video bro. Would you say the 3.7 is less headaches ? I’m in the market for a Q50 but I’m mainly concerned about reliability

Nice video...and congratulations on your wedding.

Just Curious, if you do not like the car why not trade it in for a BMW or something?

Yes sir💪💪

Kingslife in the building

I dislike how like those cars are and if you have rear wheel drive and on slick roads😢😢😢😢

I have buyers remorse! Wouldn’t buy another one! My mirrors are power fold-in! They haven’t changed the styling in over 5 or more years! I despise the climate control. Way, way too much road noise! Im leasing it, so im done in 2 years!

Got me feeling a lil discouraged about the 2014 Hybrid Sport I’m about to buy.

Thanks for this video. I have been considering this vehicle and it is nice to have this honest perspective. Congratulations on your wedding I hope that you and your spouse have had a great year!

I have the 2014 premium one and it's a beast

You need to get an update for the infotainment system at Nissan/Infiniti to stop the lag

Cool video man and congratulations on getting married.

You've got good driving habits or highway miles since you're getting 22.1 mpg

Which year is it??

I have the same one but a 2016 red sport I agree with everything plus I hate that I have squeaking every time I accelerate it only had 20 k on it which I’m confused of

So your obviously “a still” learning car enthusiast n that’s ok but bro do your research before you buy things btw it’s a red sport not just a sport

My 2017 Infiniti has power folding mirrors. This must be the base trim.

Showing you that support but that is one nice looking Infiniti

there's zero reasons to get this over a Lexus imo

Nah man I have a 2001 ls430 Lexus and the rear view mirrors fold automatically for me when I cut it off and parts so that is crazy it don’t do that, my dad bought my mom a Q50 sport and he already thinking of getting rid of it for mainly what you said cause it’s a 2020 and that infotainment and no CarPlay is insane to me tbh I told him do Acura or Lexus… no hate to Infiniti it’s just damn

I had 2018 Q50 Red Sport for 3 years and I had absolutely 0 problems with engine or anything else, I know to each their own ofc but infotainment system and all that I never pay attention to it, I'm not a gadget type of guy at all, the only complaint I have abt this car is that ridiculous gear box this car comes, total disappointment, perfect made engine with grandpa gear box, it's not that is a bad one but absolutely does not belong to this car, this car needs performance gear box and anything else is good, I got rid of this car bcs I couldn't stand that gear box. Wish you good luck with it.

#Vr30 FTW in a race, but VQ for long term 🙀🙀

“I don’t like that “ then why buy the car?😭

Watch out for BOBBY Peanuts Lol

All of that got fixed on the 2022 🤙🏽

I have the 2014 Q50. Great cat but the upholstery is cheap garbage.

Question for anyone who’s had a 2020 Q50, what are your biggest problem with them ? Are they healthy under the hood ? Also what would you guys consider getting a 2021 Toyota Camry or this 2020 q50??

1 trash infotainment system 2/3 serpentine belt & turbos 4 run flat tires 5 mirrors

damn i was hoping ud say the engine was reliable, really would like to own a japanese turbocharged engine that lives up to hype

I have a 2015 hybrid and I love it, I think I lucked up 😭

Wait for the battery to go out see if u find it at the auto store or even triple a

Well it has rum flats because it has no spare 😂
