@@john5516 For me. No. Just depends what tires you have on. I get 21 - 32. When I'm on road trips, I use ECO and get a bit more miles. It's a really quiet car. But mines rear wheel drive.
@@khmerbraveheart Infiniti’s ECO mode is a bit unsettling at first (pushes the gas pedal back to you) but it works quite well on the highway when you’re used to it. It really saves gas, it’s not a gimmick.
This would be a great car ro buy pre-own, specially considering Infiniti is the foreign luxury brand that depreciates the most, and it should be pretty reliable.
Steve Hammes is the only car reviewer who mention wheels and tires specs .. awesome .. others would mention the wheels/Rims only. but not the tires. it's important to mention both.
I honestly thought that 2015 Q70 was the Q50 and I never have trouble pin pointing what car I'm looking at even upon the smallest details/glimpses, yet this really threw me off so clearly that's not good
Great review. car shopping now I'm looking at the *M56* I want V8. Only difference I see are the Letter changing M to Q. The 2015 models have slight newer look. And probably audio upgrades.. but for now and price neg. Really like the M56x.
The problem with this car... is almost everything. My biggest issue is the way it looks it HUGE and if you don't opt for these LARGE wheels and get the smaller setup the car looks top heavy. The interior is the best thing about this car.
I love this car, if not just for the looks alone. The problem is with the original name "M". Any vehicle with that name coupled with constant comparisons to BMW gives the car an identity crisis that will plague its sales in my opinion. It makes it look like a knock off, and that's very unfortunate for this amazing vehicle They should have NEVER named it "Infiniti M". Nissan dropped the ball on this one.
I love this car so much. My M37 since 2014. I was looking forward to getting a new one but heard it was discontinued 'cause of Nissan getting robbed from one of their CEO or some shit. And that they had to remodel 4 different car and made few new ones. Versa, Sentra, Navara and more. I can't wait to see the new redesigned Frontier!
I'm getting piss NOW THE M37 M56 AND NOW THE Q70 all LOOK THE SAME, DAM THEY COULD ATLEAST CHANGE THE DAM BUMPER, I just started to like the car just because of of Vossen wheels, but what's the use of changing the name of the car if they all look the same,
It doesn’t stand out as much this car should be in competition with 7 series bmw and Lexus 460 if it is the flagship car the q50 is cheaper and not too much different
I have a 2013MX S. Love the car but Nissan needs to nix the Potenza tires....they are terrible.....easily the worst tire I've ever driven. I made the switch to the Pirelli Cinturato months ago and it's like driving a new car.
Still looks like an expensive Maxima. Insurance companies should keep this review on file for any claims regarding the vehicle leaving the roadway. Claimant: "II hit a rut and the steering wheel snapped out of my hands and the car went off the road!" Insurance Company: "You need to have your attorney talk to the manufacture."
@@dclay8412 The car is an absolute under rated value...Truly magnificent automobile! Nice power, cruises very well. Fantastic cornering, seats are nice for long distance driving - Very comfortable. Only one complaint - Car gets crappy fuel mileage -19 city and 22/23 highway. Oh, yeah - Low to insurance because of its amazing Safety ratings with the 5 star Crash, rollover scores. Highly recommended!
65k is way to much. It should be starting at 45k to 55k for a V6 and no more then 60k for a v8 one. 59.999 should be the most expensive one the their sales would of go up by a lot, for nearly 70k people will buy Maserati ghibli and other similar cars.
it's The M37 With No Changes At All!!! WHY WOULD ANYONE BY ANYTHIMG FROM THEIR 2015 LINE WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME DESIGN & TECH SINCE. 2003 WITH EXCEPTION OF THE Q50 (G35)
ACTUALLY I own the car and drive it! I'd know first hand. Its been as good as 30 mpg on the highway (in 4cyl mode) and about the same as the Infiniti in the city.
stupid, why I wonder is no one buying this car,... umm maybe because its 52,000$ for that money why not buy a Mercedes Benz or f%$k you can even afford a Ferrari from the 19's why I wonder is no one buying this car... maybe cause if your a car guy, you would look like the worlds biggest chump paying this much for this car. its like a Benz without the status symbol... what's the point?
Don't mean no disrespect cause you actually do a great job talking during the review and your knowledgeable on her specs. :D I'm just so upset at infinities poor lack of advertising and styling when it comes to this car, I attended a 2014 car show and asked the Infiniti rep about this car, I sware the first thing he says is "well I'm a vegetarian and I'm proud that the seats are 100 non leather, its pleather, :D" I wanted to smack him, and I'm gay, when you are introducing a new luxury car brand, the seat material should be the least of your concerns, overall this is an ok, safe, and VERY CLEAN styled car, with an ok 3.7 litter engine, but you see that's the problem, there are cheaper cars out there that does everything this car does but THEY DO IT BETTER, I mean why not buy a G Sedan and glue a q50 logo on the back, you'll get better gas mileage and no one will even know the difference because both cars look the same LMFAO. So what's the point... Owners are most likely wealthy dudes/women who want to play it safe, so... if that's the case then those buyers usually always get a flipping Benz or BMW for the status symbol. This car looks exactly like a 2003 g35, so much for pushing the envelope, I mean if this company is going to play it safe why not rebadge this car and sell her car as a Nissan product. ban. :D
Easy to say, but in reality Infiniti absolutely annihilates BMW, Audi, and Mercedes with the lease and financing they offer. I narrowed my choices down to an A6, 535, and M37xS (Q70's 2013 badge). The cars had less than a $200 difference in sticker price, yet for a 3 year lease with nothing down, the Infiniti was $121 and $135 less PER MONTH respectively. I wasn't interested in the E class because I'm not an old man. Mileage is about 19 MPG combined, so not too bad. Fun car, though. If you really want a sports car but regularly drive a lot of peeps, it's worth a look.
$52K for a luxury brands flagship model is cheap. This model is comparable to a MB E400. And good luck owning a Ferrari and putting the miles on it like you can on the Q70.... because you can't.
+maximus10463 I gotta admit...of the 3 Japanese luxury imports (Lexus, Infiniti, Acura), Infiniti's interior is far better than any of them. Whomever the designer is should be getting awards. I will admit that I'm not crazy over the exterior (too much like Nissian) the Charger's interior doesn't hold a candle to the Infiniti. As far as the drive train goes it is an AWD, they always have poor gas mileage.
I like the Charger a lot, but both cars are a world apart in terms of built quality, inside and out. The Charger (any trim of it, really) is not even on the same level of the m37/m56/q70. It’s so obvious when you drive them back to back.
@@FabienTeulieres93 Q70 is nothing but an overpriced Nissan😂 I’ll take a fully loaded Scat over ANY Infiniti. And you really took time to comment under a 7 year old post😂😆🤣

Mike Rod maybe when compared to the other Japanese brands. The Germans depreciate wayyyyy more.

Think you ment to say bmw depreciates the most....
Isnt Infiniti nissan or toyota? Which is japanes or american?

Great review, beautiful car. Probably the premium sedan that I'd want later on.
Great review. I might have to wait till the price drops when the new model comes out.
a very good looking car!
They should have put Michelin Tires on it. Michelin has the best rubber in the world.
Herc Zeus correction sir, Trojan makes the best rubbers in the world
What are you saying? Never heard of them.
Great review. I love this car !!!!
I know this Dec 16,2020 I will be getting a 2013 M37 I am looking forward to it.
Would love to see a Q50 hybrid review
I love this friggin car. I'm going to get one next year just so people know
Charlie_Willie did you get the car yet? 🤔
Nah. I decided it was a little too big. I decided to lease an Audi S3. Maybe one day when I need the space I'll find a used Q70..
Charlie_Willie whoa. If the q70 was too big, why not go with the smaller q50?
Ive got an Audi and an Infiniti and I much prefer my Infiniti.
Great review.
Thanks!
Nice view of Albany, NY at the end of the video! (...the car's not bad either!)

Looks like the largest wheels offered aren't close to filling the openings...just saying.
You're "just sayin'" Jack shit...zip it mister and don't keep flapping your jaw
The AWD version sits quite a bit higher than the RWD version, and it does not look that good, I agree. It looks like the car is jacked up on stilts.
how could you not smile when giving this barge the beans?
Dream car

Special300med Q70 was just for the nomenclature change. Redesign should be coming soon I hope.
you should change your shitty attitude
It doesn’t stand out as much this car should be in competition with 7 series bmw and Lexus 460 if it is the flagship car the q50 is cheaper and not too much different
for this as-tested price, why would you get this Infiniti instead of, say, an A6?
If you buy brand new with dealer warranty....yeah, an Audi would be awesome, but I wouldn't take an Audi with 100k miles on it over an Infiniti W 100k
Long term, the Infiniti will run circles around the Audi. Audis don’t age well at all. Infinitis do. Talking from experience.
I have a 2013MX S. Love the car but Nissan needs to nix the Potenza tires....they are terrible.....easily the worst tire I've ever driven. I made the switch to the Pirelli Cinturato months ago and it's like driving a new car.
the gas mileage is horrible its got 7 gears and gets the same as q45 did back in the mid 90s

Simply behind the competition and the gas mileage is terrible
darwandoo yes, gas mileage is not great. If you keep it under 72 mph, you can get 24 on the highway.
This is an M37!!
Not enough people have the money to spend.
im1greatman buy em used and you can find them for less than $15k
Not impressed.
Wood trim whether it's real or plastic needs to stay on the trees.
