- I spend a week with the 2017 Infiniti Q60S Red Sport 400 AWD to see what it's like to live with, and how it compares to its competitors. What do you think about the Q60?

I agree 100% Matt. This is one of the most gorgeous cars in my opinion that's come out in a very long time. Infinity nailed this design.This would be at the very top of my list if I was wanting to spend around 60k
Get a used one for 35000 with low miles. Bad ass car
Not that good imo. Honestly for 60,000 the M2 is way better especially with a 6 speed manual.
@@simmsation21 exactly what I did.. cant complain lol
@@simmsation21 picked up a 2017 red sport today for 38k and only 5k miles
@@nkargar0719 ur gonna love it and it's a sleeper. Ur gonna tear alot of cars out the frame out there if u choose to.
Whenever Matt turns into a back road and right before he's about to start speeding he looks around left and right, front and back, and his eyes run around in a funny way like he's about to commit some serious crime LOL.
You're hilarious bro! Love your reviews, incredibly detailed, some of the best on RUclips period.
Yup awesome reviewer
I just took my 2018 red sport 400 AWD on a road trip yesterday and managed 28mpg on the highway. I typically average 24-25 and I do a mix of driving. These cars have a SIGNIFICANT break in period where they get terrible gas mileage for the first couple thousand miles.
Saw that you got a comment about not being as entertaining as Doug .. I prefer your reviews by far!!! Way more educational and you cover the smallest details and it gives you an idea how it'd be to own the cars reviewed in the matter of minutes... I mostly scroll on when I see videos from Doug.. you are my favorite RUclips car reviewer thanks for your awesome work mate!
Doug is as dull as hell. Nothing to see there.
You know it’s about to get real when Matt says, “Alrighty, so let’s turn onto to this back road here...”
Agreed with Matt, this is one strikingly sexy car in person, top 5 out there. With the luxury features and smooth ride, its definitely targeted at an older business executive that want to have a bit of flash and speed. Boy racers need not apply.
One of the best looking full sized coupes still on sale.
I heard it was 4.4-4.6 not 5.0🤨
Ya it's not 5
Love you reviews man! Cover in so much detail the ride
This car is just beautiful, its like combining beauty and the beast!! Can't wait to own one next year
Ugh, avoid Nissan like the plague. They just pd out 277M to end one class action lawsuit & there are more. My Nissan has been a complete disaster. Never again! Read about lawsuits, recalls & more.
BMS JB1 tuner brings this car to life
Does it fix the issues with the tuning and transmission performance or is it still relatively jumpy and slow with the gearbox response?
@@gtmike916 well JB1 is a piggyback so I doubt it does anything to the transmission
@@Nelbone That’s lame that it doesn’t do anything with the TCU. Oh well.
@@gtmike916 well it’s an ecu piggyback so…
Just subscribed! Your enthusiasm when driving is infectious!!!
Thank you for subscribing Steve, I really appreciate it!
You filmed this in one of those Indian summer days eh? Thanks for sharing dude and have a happy new year everyone!!
I always like to tune into Matt’s reviews to find out if the interior of a car is nice, pretty nice, not bad, or gets the job done.
As a man of your word, you, indeed mentioned the stereo in enough detail! Thank you. I hope you incorporate that in as many reviews as you can. A lot of us really do care about the audio. Thanks Matt and really great review! You was really throwing the Q60 around like a boss!
Those seats are great for the lonely who haven't got hugs in years or decades. Feelsgoodman. :.) Sniff.
Lonely driver Special
I agree those paddle shifters are weak. I have a G37 and like the look of the bigger paddles. Such a silly thing for Infiniti to cheap out on. Maybe people complained the old ones were too big and got in the way, as they do sometimes but are totally worth it.
Just making it plastic already does
I've got the new Q50 Sport 3.0T, and mine has the much better magnesium paddles. Not sure why they cheaped out on their flagship model.
Have a happy and thankful Thanksgiving Matt
In the drive enhancement settings you can change the throttle pedal to the soft settings that gives you more control. don’t know of any other cars that offer that feature. Also I find that you can rest your foot on the throttle pedal in the standard mode and it will stay at the cruising speed you at. Ps it’s a great car and I love it.
Hi Matt,
Could you have customized the steering and transmission to be in sport plus and the suspension to be in comfort? If so that may have solved some issues.
Matt, what do you use for your winter vehicle in PA, or do you drive the mustang all year round?
Loving the intro!
The most beautifuliest sport coupe under $70k on the road!
Thuggerbae agree completely!
Nah the g37 ipl
Thuggerbae ever heard of a Lexus rcf
Any of you ever heard of the Aston Martin Virage, best looking car under 100k imho
Rodarte lol. I though the rcf might give it competition for looks but it’s not close. Rcf looks good but actually less sporty in real- life than in pics. When you see both in real life, the Infiniti is much sleeker in overall shape, and the rcf actually looks a bit bland - relying on the vents and bells and whistles to sport it up more. So the Infiniti ends up being classier and sportier at the same time. Having said that.... new Infiniti quality is the obstacle for me.....
These look pretty good. The advertised power levels on the Red Sport are nice. Though that makes me wish Infiniti had an M3-fighter on the market.
Loving the seats
Damn it does look good. I find it crazy that you see those plastic type paddle shifters in quite a few high end sports cars. Why would they do that? It can't be that much more money for some nice metal shifters. Even aluminum.
the crazy thing is that the g37 it replaced, and even first gen q50 have magnesium paddles shared with the GT-R.
Infiniti and high end doesn’t seem to match
100% agreed on transmission. DCT or ZF time
Note: The ride is smooth because of the adaptive dampers. In Comfort mode the settings are soft. In Sport/Sport+ the shocks stiffen up a lot. Its like having 2 different cars. We had the Q50S and its ride was pretty harsh because it just had regular sport tuned suspension with no adjustment settings.
Ah good to know, thanks!
Yeah it’s a crazy different ride in eco or standard vs the sport modes
They increase the shift times to minimize clutch pack wear, and to keep transmission temps down. I'm sure you can get an Ecutek tune to fix that, and get more power in general. For the money, I'm surprised they couldn't atleast put pilot super sports on these from the factory.
All wheel drive q’s come with heavy, crummy run flats. My parents own a q60 red sport and my dad took the tires off after 350 miles.
I have Q60S twin Turbo Europe version is amazing !!!!
Matt!!! I’m caught between buying a 2018 q50 red sport or a Lexus IS350 F sport. What would you recommend!!!
My camry has the head rest angled the same way. You now have a hunch in my back. I understand the design was for whiplash but I'd take my straight back over whiplash
I just bought a 2018 Q50 RS400 and I'm 6'5. Head room (with a sunroof) is fine
The JATCO 7 spd transmission is honestly really solid, and puts NA V6s like the 370z with full bolt ons and e85 tunes running high 12s trapping 112-115 but i was honestly hopping Nissan would put an even better transmission in these to compete with GM and Fords 10r80
Yea I think the RWD version being much lighter is also equipped with Michelin Pilot Supersports optionally I believe, or similar tires that thing will boogey for sure.
Wooooo. I felt that!! I’m getting one!!
Quick question Matt. How did the power and acceleration feel in this Q60 compared to the Kia Stinger GT you just reviewed recently?
q60 makes more power. But the kia is amazing as well
I have a 2012 G37X Coupe with low miles and wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I have the same year AWD XS coupe with 47K KM. My third Infiniti and the only thing I would trade it for may be a Q60 Red Sport.
Dont compare your dinosaur with this beauty of coupe....
Silver Beast Q50 REDSPORT no u
@@georgebalzer8008 I just did that & switched lmao, stoked ✊🏻
Great looking car. This newer model still costs a lot so I haven't seen a single modified one on the road here in Cali yet.
I’m saving up for one and I’m definitely going to mod it!
Love your videos 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
A used G37 for under 10 grand. Basically the same car. Transmission is good but not perfect. Finest car I have ever driven.
And the award winning VQ 3.7 liters engine and an intoxication exhausts note that come with it stock in the G37 coupe. I love the G35/G37/Q60 coupe and each has it strength and weakness. All amazingly good looking cars : )
Matt’s relatively tepid reaction to this is nearly identical to that in his Q50 RS400 review. LOL!
First review with this music ? See this in person and it is pretty impressive. I owned a G37 and loved it for what it was , a DD. If you don't have a family and don't want to over spend on a BMW then this should be on your short list. Nice review MM.
i got to drive this car today and lemme tell you it’s insane
Matt I really like this Q60S but I'm leaning toward the CLA 45 it's just a better looking car. I think these are in the same league of All week drive luxury sporty cars, you can get a used one for around 35k
Yes good job on Infiniti for this!
10:17 the test drive
Great review … I’m considering buying a used one to replace my 335i
Man if this was 6spd it be perfect .. only automatic I drove that shifted good was hellcat charger
love the intro keep it up
COOL Review: 2017 Infiniti Q60S Red Sport 400 AWD
I love this car. Planning on getting this after my lease is up on my QX30.
No more subaruwrxfan? Lol now it's Matt Maran
Nice work as always Matt, really hope someone brings you a tuned Q60 with a proper tires and exhaust at some point,
really sad that Infiniti isn't sending out any Q60's with the traditional steering rack it's really not doing their DAS system any favors..
BigHeadClan i offered to let him use mine especially since I’m local but he said he doesn’t like doing modified cars anymore
@@Michaelrack94 Awe that's unfortunate a tune really wakes up the car.
im hoping to get this car soon
Beautiful vehicle
Former owner of a Q50 - that infotainment system is terrible and the center info display wasn’t great. Sucks they didn’t fix it yet.
Great looking car
Wow..That gauge cluster is the worst
LOL. OK.
I really have to agree with you Eye Dupppz, the Q60 is in my top three for a replacement in the coming months but coming from VW/Audi for my daily drivers (hell, even my mustang has a nicer interior and gauge cluster) it is reaaaaaaaally lacking in refinement inside. That said, it's still a great car overall but that cluster looks like its out of a 2005 Honda Civic not a $60k luxury coupe.
Paddle shifters aint a prob. There are tons of carbon fiber paddles for the Q60
Matt Maran>Redline Reviews
I was so close to buying the 400 red sport, but it hadn't come out back in May where I was living... So I went for the 2017 GT-R PREMIUM white on black with the premium orange interior... I believe the Q60 would've been 60k cheaper...
Kevin Daskal fuck what do you do for a living??? lol must be nice.Congrats.Friend of mine brought a 2014 GTR in red he loves it.I subbed to your channel man nice GTR video
Matt what car would you reccomend at this price point, that has that better transmission response and throttle responses with Similar specs?
Check out Kia stinger gt2 or genesis g70 3.3t
Just get a hellcat same price
As someone who works for Infiniti- the steering wheel toughness is customizable
Is there a difference between 2017,2018 and 2019? Exterior? and interior? They look the same to me
Thanks Ron Howard.
REVIEW the 2018 Civic Hatchack Sport/touring
Real head turner this car. But this review has got me headed toward Lexus
I want this car so bad!
My Wife has one of these in Red with the carbon fiber package. Its one beautiful car!
I have a question Matt, Could you please answer it honestly?
Some reviewer said the steering is vague, excessive electronic assist, and unresponsive... what do you really feel? Is the steering not engaging?
Thanks in advance.
I'm always honest in my videos. Like I say in the video, the steering felt pretty good to me once you get used to it, especially in sport or sport+ mode.
Thank you for ur respond! appreciate it :)
keep up the good work!
The DAS is on v2 and is much improved. I own and 18 and love it. Key to the car is to change out the tires as they are everything when it comes to handling and 50%+ of what you'll see in the steering and how you like/hate it. Steering wise, Sport is okay, Sport+ is way to twitchy and sensitive. Put it in Personal Mode and dial the two selections there in the middle. You'll thank me for it. It's spot-on great for me now.
I had electric steering in my last S4 and it took a bit of getting used to but once you do you'll appreciate it 100% on a daily driver. Those that come right off hating it either don't own it or bought a street car vs a race car and disappointed themselves. When you drive on the road, you can still feel how the car is handling, you just need to do it through an understanding of how a car feels overall. Steering is just one aspect of feeling.
The benefits of it are great. The car maintains a line well, corrects for undulations and cross winds, has lane keeping ability and from a vibration/fatigue standpoint, is a dream on long drives. Who wants to feel every pebble in the road in the steering wheel when you don't need to.
Yes,that’s right the car is heavy as hell,but it got a lot power w upgrade.not bad,just for couple years,get half price.
My mom just bought a Q60s. I'm 6 foot 2 inches and I thought the amount of room compared to my 2016 Mustang was very different and adaptable. Have to disagree with you, Matt! Still love ya
One of the only Infinitis I'd buy sooo gorgeous
This is basically the G37 coupe predecessor. Since the G37 coupe and the 370z share the same engine. I definitely see Nissan using this same engine platform from the Q60 Red Sport coupe for the new Z. I just hope they do not decide to use the same transmission or atleast offer the new Z in Manual
Successor not predecessor. Predecessor is what comes before hand lol.
They should remake the G35 Coupe.
Oscar Fisher it’s called the G37
Richard Vargas nah the g37 isn’t nearly as nice in terms of exterior looks.
Luis O basically but not. Looks different. More futuristic.
Oscar Fisher What do you think this is?
A M Bro leave him he dosent know what an upgrade is lol
My Q50 sport delays as well, but when the boost comes on... its ON. But I hate the turbo lag.
Rouge 1972: I have the ‘18 Q50 Red Sport. At what rpm do you feel the lag?
Ken W yea sure you do
Mr. T yes I️ do
You can’t lower the seat? In my Maxima, I lower it all the way and have like 4inches Of Head room and I’m 6ft. But then again, it is a sedan.
Comparing a low slug sport coupe to a full-size luxury sedan man, you loose about 2 inches headroom going from the Q50 > Q60 alone.
The exhaust note you're hearing is through the speakers and the 0-60 time is 4 1/2 seconds and not 5 seconds. I own a 2017 Q50 Red Sport AWD. Great reviews btw.
Speakers just make it louder. I've heard exhaust systems from the outside and it sounds exactly like the speakers.
A lots of car do that and the BMW M5 has it too.
A lots of other car companies is doing the same thing and BMW is one of them.
Just watched the 2010 G37 review from him and it's pretty much the exact same review 😂
The gauges remind me of my moms 2017 camry
LOL.
It’s sad how the G60 & 370Z are so different, I miss the similarities of the G35 &350.
The 400Z is coming soon to update the Z cars
I'd love to see you review an Audi TTS if you get access to one
I wasn't able to ever do a full review on the current generation unfortunately, but I did a quick drive video on it a while back. Here's that video: ruclips.net/video/CkYFxsHxPOY/видео.html
What happened to IPL?
Klasse Act they killed it
romel 4life ...I wonder why they did that, everyone should have a perf division!
They made the IPL into a sports package rather than a true performance brand, so they killed it off supposedly Nismo is working
with Infiniti on some things and AMS is also working with them so we may see it return in some form or another.
Especially if the Q60 Black Edition ever appears.
IPL wasn't a big deal. I'm quicker than one...lol. Meh.
Mario Munoz well an Ipl wasn't anything to brag about in a strait line,solid on track.
An Ams tuned Q60 will run about 11.4 at 122 in a 1/4 mile. So we are talking gtr times for under 70K
I find it oddly funny Matt how you call a moonroof a moonroof where is out here in California we call it a sunroof...
Californians are stuck in the 60's. Originally a sunroof was a solid body-colored panel that could pop up or be removed (think early 911's) whereas the term moonroof was introduced in the 1970’s to describe any panel in the vehicle’s roof that is made of glass.
I was always a Honda Acura Infiniti guy.. I'm done though. Going Chevy Camaro 2ss if not the Zl1. the red sport was an option in mind along with the challenger SRT. But yea after all these reviews. . . I'm going Chevy
Infinity Q60 based on looks alone, is way better than Lexus RC. But is it as reliable as Lexus?
Absolutely NOT. Read up on all the problems with Nissan transmissions & more. Including the class action lawsuit that Nissan just pd out 277M to end. I drive my dog of a Nissan Sentra, vs my mom’s Toyota & although they cost the same the difference is staggering. My Sentra started with numerous problems after 3 years, at 24k miles. Bad paint job, leaking rubber around the doors and trunk, AC fan went, AC hoses had to be replaced, & I’ve been having transmission problems for two years. Nissan could care less, & doesn’t have a clue what’s wrong with the car. What a huge boondoggle mistake buying a new Nissan. I am a long time Honda Person and have a CRV. Same mileage, @ about 46k, but never a problem with it. The only thing I can say positive about the Sentra is it gets good mileage, but that’s not enough to keep it.
I'll never understand why people buy such an exciting car and then just get it in silver.
drunknmonk12 silver is a sweet color. Very elegant and stands out on the road. In some cars.
Better than white
Ken W depends on the car
Right dark grey at least fuck tan and fuck silver I don't even like white that much on sports cars
hides scratches the best also love the sparkle. some cars can rock it some cant.
cool car
There's definitely some kind of synthetic engine noise inside the cabin. Doesn't sound good imo.
rockervdrive you need to ride in one before you say that. I own one and it is am exciting car to hear and drive
I suspected that. I hate when they do that
@@rollienoodles I believe that 100%. I've driven a 350z myself and the VQ and VR series are great sounding V6's which is why I don't think they need that artificial enhancement. It's just my own personal preference. If I need more sound, I'd rather get and exhaust and/or intake.
need to upgrade the gauges it's same thing in every infinity
I think they are pretty neat
These cars really stand out on the road!
Who in the hell spec'd the car in silver with that bone colored interior? I bet in the dark blue they offer that would really be stunning! There's a cranberry color, similar to what's offered on the Lexus RC coupe, that is unbelievable😎
All the close ups Matt did on the infotainment system shows why black and shiny materials are such a horrible idea. Touch screens need to be matte finish, the fingerprints drove me nuts just watching. I also saw some cheap looking grainy plastics in there.
I agree the glossy screen is a PIA. They do give you a MF rag to wipe it though :) True story. The grainy plastics? The only one that really bothers me is the silver finish carbon fiber-ish looking ones on mine. I'll post pics on AG at some point then you can evaluate a bit more. Now go keep that little Italian Machine clean! ;)
That screen is so slow and laggy wtf lol. Would expect more from a 50k car
Has somewhat of an Aston Martin vibe...do you guys agree?
I disagree with the headroom. I'm 6'4 and with the seat down and reclined just a bit i sit just fine.
Nice detailed review. The car easily beats it's competitors.
Didnt you already review this like 3 times already?
Waisoserious no
It’s nice, but it sounds lazy on upshift
It does
No it doesn’t i drive one daily
it is when you're not in the throttle more than 3/4, but under WOT it shifts great.
ms3er adaptive shift is wonderful
Test drove it. I love it but it’s heavy as hell. Felt like I was driving a speed boat on the freeway.
Can I get it without the adaptive steer by wire ?
no
Yes u can my doesnt have it
Yes, I mention that at the end. It's just an option.
Oh, i misread that just as steer by wire
you're an amazing reviewer! i just uploaded my first review video:)
