Let's take a moment to be thankful for the few cars that still offers a proper CD-player as a standard feature, for those of us who take our record-colleting seriously.
yes, agree
CDs, when zero compression is a good thing. 😆
Agree,,have around 275-300 CDs and can't play any in my car
I only listen to my CD's in the house,no way I would risk scratches in a car, that's why God invented FLAC, first thing I do when I buy one is convert it to FLAC
Yep! A good reason to maybe grab one BEFORE the refresh. They're going away quick from most cars!
I work for Infiniti and I’ve never seen this color, really beautiful. These are definitely fast, faster than they look. Even the base engine is pretty quick I drive these cars a lot, really starting to grow on me lol
The Infinti sport coupes and sedans (G35, G37, and now the Q series), have always been underrated. They feel and look quality, inside and out.
Agreed. 👍🏽
...Well, except for the dash’s tendency to crack.
@@vincef7487 I wasnt aware of that issue
@@Nighthawk-ex2ep
Yep. The dash of my 2011 G37 was fine up until 2020 (covid isolation). It seems that NOT driving it very often somehow allowed heat to build up ...or caused the soft touch dash material to dry out. Searching RUclips for a viable fix.🤓
@@vincef7487 I have the same problem with my Shinka. Common to RX8s
Dash cracks were most so the early G35 and only for places like Texas that really got hot.
Was an issue among most Nissan in early 2000 but I never seen a cracked dash but I live up in Canada.
Oh, and it's nice to see the penguin buckled up for safety.
Sarah those marks were torque checks on the hardware.
Ex air force mech humour...🔥🔥🔥
whamen am i right guys
I own a 2014 Q50S Hybrid and that thing is quick. Just regular maintenance since purchase. Great review guuurl!
I have the same car as you , she’s a rocket 🚀
Ya I dust people in Mercedes, BMW all the time . It’s a sleeper
Seeing as most modern car designs inspire ire on my part, the “dated” interior of this car is, in my book, a plus. Real exhaust tips, an actual physical shifter, buttons and knobs or infotainment and hvac, yes please!
The biggest letdown of the Q50 is the 7 speed transmission. I have a 2014 Q50 (with the 3.7) and I feel that if they had the ZF 8 speed, it would’ve been a perfect car. And with the changeover to the TT engine, it would be dead on.
It's honestly a breath of fresh air compared to all these over-computerized touch screens everywhere cars.
@@clarks2001 It's a let down in the earlier versions. The 2018+ V6 twin turbo motors come with an updated 7AT transmission that is greatly upgraded over the earlier Q50 transmissions. Shifts are much quicker and it can hold up to 600ft-lbs of torque and 700-800whp. Not as quick as a ZF, but definitely a huge improvement over the 3.7 VQ transmission.
@@vz6235 I wonder if it would be feasible to swap to a newer one? I’d think it would bolt up but how’s the computer gonna react?🤔
@@clarks2001 It is indeed feasible! I'd recommend joining the Infiniti Q50/Q60 facebook group and forums as well. Quite a few people have done the swap and it's pretty straight forward. The ECU will need to be programmed of course
Nobody does reviews like Sarah, and it's such a good feeling. They're always so fun.
I own a 2019 red sport with a JB4, Alpha intakes and lower down pipes, and the Helmholtz Axle back. It absolutely rips, sounds amazing and hurts a lot of feelings in stoplight digs. People truly don't expect it!
Great review btw, thanks for not trashing it like every other reviewer. They really are underrated, excellent cars not to mention extremely reliable after the 2017 MY (belt issues).
They also offer an extreme value for enthusiasts on the used market. Your dead on that these beasts modified are intense. They easily can make 450+ wheel HP with a tune and basic bolt ons. Great platform for mods.
I just love your reviews. When you personally like a car your face just beams with enthusiasm. I can only imagine what your NSX reviews is going to be like. Thanks for the fun and informative content.
The Veloster N review proves you are 100% correct!
I think your videos are improving leaps and bounds. I like that you let your personality and humor shine through. I also like the way you address things that others don't consider and provide really interesting answers to questions I didn't even know I wanted to ask.
Finally! Worth the wait. I will always love this car! Thanks for keeping the review positive!
So impressed with the amount of detail and effort you put in.
I really appreciate how you do your car reviews Absolutely 1st class
I absolutely love your reviews, your beauty, classiness, and sense of humor...brings me back time-after-time!! Absolutely astounding evertime!
Slate gray is to the 2020’s as teal was to the late 90’s
Yeah...thats 100% Blue... Lol
Burnt Copper in the 00's
Next will be mauve
Perhaps it's just me but when you explained the underhood nomenclature I started tuning out and listened to the background music and just enjoyed looking at you, you are such a delight.
"Prettiest back seats." I've used that comment often myself.
I found your channel this week... I think I've watched like 25 videos. Loving it! Thanks for the quarantine entertainment.
Playing with that hood latch like a cat with a door stopper. 😂
That was thought, I have a cat that reminds me of Sarah she’s pretty and sweet 🤷♂️
When you don't hear that in the middle of the night you have a cat that respects you.
What is door stopper!?
@@metricrowes1427 the spring thing behind the door that stops the door from hitting the wall
@@ColeSpolaric ohh ok
Beautiful giggle during brake test, great seeing you enjoying yourself. Nice review.
First of all love your crazy jokes and the way you explain describe every single thing about the vehicle you 're reviewing.
You give me smiles. Needed that today.
Love the front facing camera view on the driving test! Great job!
A damn fine auto review... now everyone watch it, and when your done watch it again. And when you go to bed mute the sound, put it on loop, and play it all night.
It's just a thought.
Really fine job Sarah.
Great review! I have a 700WHP Q50S Redsport with upgraded Pure turbos and E85, these cars are monsters with just a few mods. The VR30DDTT motor is a very potent power plant, these cars are a great clean slate to build a performance sedan how you envision it.
Thank you for doing this! I have a 2016 (first year of this engine) and it’s so great. Definitely some dated things but the power is so much fun. Mine is tuned and pushing 450whp and 500tq, the engines are such an untapped potential that doesn’t get the attention it deserves!
.....and, for the Record, this was one of your Best reviews, and the camera looks great....and so too, your jeans....nice!!!
Sarah, great review overall! I could see myself owning one of these. A classy, understated vehicle with performance and a touch of flash. The interior section was my favorite part. Refreshingly positive in a sea of reviews that seek out and focus on the bad.
I've just realized that I smiled all the way while was watching this review. Just can't resist Sarah's positive vibes. Need to watch the video again, focusing on the car this time.
Won't be long 🤣
Should have went acura
@@davontesveiws5481 Infiniti for the win, Acura 👎 😂
Love the sense of humor. I own a Q50. Best car I have owned. I am 78 years young and I've owned a lot of cars.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the way those jeans fit at 0:55 !!! This lady is head to toe gorgeous!
Absolutely.
I really really like the driving view of the road and an inset of you talking. Super cool! If it's hard to edit, it's worth it! 👍
Yes yes thank you Sarah for yet another wonderful bolstering test 😀😊
Sarah, I just realized I don't watch any youtube car reviews any more except yours and I watch yours even if not interested in the vehicle. That must mean something!
the exhaust sound amazing!
It does!
Legit!
Sounds nice
@@SarahnTuned have you revving rev exhaust rev
Loved this video! Also enjoy that you recently added the check below the body of the car segment as that is so awesome! Gotta get your glasses back on for “Garage Science” though! Keep up the great work! 👍🤩
These Reviews went from "Sport" mode to "Sport Plus" mode with the car lift! Hell yeah Science Sarah!!!
In 2014 I had one for a full night, in rural area of MI state, we run some 300 km. Had the 3.7 L aspirated engine, and me and my friend we had so much fun with. The calculated fuel econumy (@ pump) was 8L/100km (sorry, I am Canadian, from Europe...). We both agreed that was the best car we drove ever, and it still is, ower M5 or S4.
Good review, Sarah...nice car! Good to see the bolstering test back!
I do have to agree with you that I saw the prettiest backseat in a car too!
I like the new underside lift view. Good job! You must be loving those lifts!!!
Love my 2014 Infiniti Q50 Sport and the review was right on par!! With mine being modified it definitely gets a lot of attention
Great as always Sarah
These cars are phenomenal! My friend has a 2016 Q50 with a Borla axle back exhaust on it and it sounds amaazing👌🏽🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful. Nice seeing a review thats not bashing Nissan/Infinity
Thanks for not bashing it like Doug did. In 3 to 5 years when the price goes down it’ll be the best bang for your buck. 4 door, with ample amount of horsepower, and looks great but a sleeper. Also on the plus side it’s got a nice size aftermarket scene. All that Nissan needs to do is update the tech. BabyGodzilla a underdog.
My wife has a 2019 Q50S it only has 330hp but boy does that car move out! I steal every once in a while and get my speed fix! The AWD is the way to go, you step on it in the rain and it just hooks and goes! Great review nice to see someone enjoy the raw ability of the Q50 rather than bash it for its outdated technology.
Honestly I don't get the focus on the tech, yes it's dated but it's not like people use the Nav system more than few times a year.
For how some people complain yous think they wouldn't be able to make it to the corner store without gps.
@@BigHeadClan I agree... I have Nav in both my cars and I use Waze anyway, it’s more up to date. The Infiniti is more a driver’s car, raw performance for a a decent price. I think Sarah did a great job showcasing the Q50 and just her reaction to it was saying volumes about its fun factor!
@@jrzyboy99 Well said although I do think the Q50/60 are a bit more GT oriented over say the G35/37, I personally hope they go to its more sport roots in the redesign coming up.
I like these car reviews, especially when you can tell she's having a blast :)
Garage Science w/ Sarah went on another level with under the car reviews. This is the difference maker between other successful RUclips car reviews. Amazing, amazing, amazing! #Sarah2.0
Thank you Sarah
Great cars,
That’s coming from an 03 G 35 owner ! Still love it 👍🏻
Infiniti has used that same first aid kit since 2002 when my folks had a I35 and then G35. Still enjoying 2015 Q50.
Happy to hear from you
I WANT THAT ROCKET!!!! COLOUR, INTERIOR, ALL OF IT!!!! LOVE U DEARLY!! KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE WORK!!!! LOVE FROM VANCOUVER
I loved your review of this car. I own a first year 2014 Q50 "Red" Sport AWD and absolutely love it. Normally aspirated VQ37VHR with the All Wheel Drive. If you ever want to do a video with mine for comparison, let me know. I have it in Graphite Shadow grey. I agree that it is under-rated and overlooked. And it definitely has the looks! It truly is a baby GTR!
Thank you finally a positive infiniti car review
Nice car, great details about it! Thank you for the review.
Sloppy paint?
Maybe it's a torque inspection mark.
yeah, thats exactly what it is. they do the same on motorcycles as well. for the QC inspectors.
@@vinceradical8910 Yep- the marks are for torqueing and or filling things as a visual sign someone went through. Helps installers and inspectors make sure stuff is done.
Great review
I have no idea why this was a "recommended video", but I clicked on it expecting to watch about fifteen seconds of it and then move onto another video. Next thing you know, I'm watching this video, again, for the third time. Outstanding video! Consider me 'subscribed', now.
you wont speak the tire babble but you give the respect that engine is due by speaking its entire nomenclature. respect, well done.
Great Video as usual!
those seats look awesome, sounds good too
I owned a 2018 rs rear wheel drive iridium blue. I loved it, I added a berger tune plug in, it added 35 whp and 65 whl torque. A real sleeper 😎
The JB4 is a boost controller not a tune. It's been known to cook the turbos in these cars if you add too much boost. All they do is produce more add and take the turbos out of efficiency range. A solid Ecutek tune will turn these cars into monsters and protect the turbos if the tuner is competent.
I always enjoy your videos and while watching I always think about how much I miss Tucson.
Also, Sarah, totally enjoying your channel. I wish you success.
These reviews are killing it!!! Keep up these awesome reviews Sarah!
“That mountain has snow on it” sorry car review, love you Sarah for being you 😆😆
Thanks for the feedback on the backseat. a sleeper for sure👍
Love your reverse engineered review very refreshing to say the least
To make it like a GTR it needs a front and rear LSD. I had a front LSD installed when I had my Pure Stage 2 turbos installed. I had previously installed a rear LSD in my Q50. I can really feel both front tires gripping when using my EcuTec launch control. Shutting of VDC allows full power to all 4 wheels now. As a side note it's now incredible in the snow. With the new turbos having a large HP increase I need both front and rear LDS's to put the power to the road. Love the Q50/60's.
Yes, the signature Sarah seat bolster move!!!
A little fun with Sarah makes the day better, new for 2021 the hair braking angle test 😜👍
I considered this before I bought my 435i GC. Nice car. Sounds amazing.
Have owned a 2012 G37x Sport for about a year and smile e ery time I hit the starter button .... Sleeper all the way ...
Ayyyy new vid! "Tackely" is now a word.
If Sarah says it, it must be a word.
@@gregstillman5197 auto entry into Webster's
HEY Sarah what about global tyranny via medical fraud on a virus that doesn't exist !!!!!!!
Just leased my second Q50S Redsport, and the 2021 definitely fixed every issue I had with the 2017. Hopefully by 2023 the completely new redesign will kill it.
You are a breath of fresh air in the car world!😘👩🏼🏫👍🏼
Awesome review. I've been wanting to know more about this model nd yes it is as i thought. It has a solid drive train. I will look these up to see how nd what people are doing to them performance wise.
Love the video and your comment and of course your passenger
I agree with Sarah about Infinity,, it's a nice car. Looks and performance. Classy front seat stitching. At about $58k, very competitive price.
These cars are absolutely monsters when modded. Plenty of them over 6-700whp and a couple touching the 800whp mark. This will make the new Z an instant hit with the mods now readily available when they release that car.
Ha, I didn't miss this one for sure! I love the "sleeperbility" on this one.
It's very satisfying to dust M3 on the highway :)
@@MrNomad505 lol
I own a 2021 and love your review
You are special, because you look for the positive instead of bagging on what it doesn't have.
Looks simple, sporty and elegant. I like it.
Love the white leather in cars. The q50 and q60 are actually quite fun to drive.
I just got the same one , 2021 Q50 RS RWD with performance package in slate gray. This car is super quick and sounds awesome! I agree with you on not listening to music to hear the car but the bose 16 speakers systems sounds awesome too so is a hard choice. I don’t mind the ‘old look’ of the technology since apple play makes it modern to me. The dual screens are quite functional, love having waze app on top and my tidal music app on the bottom without having to switch!!. Too bad gas prices are going up because this thing is thirsty in sport+. I’m looking at RSR springs for a future mod.
How adorable your penguin is fastened in. How cute.
Love your reviews, Im actually hoping you review a mazda CX 30 Turbo... for some reason I'm really wanting one & want your version of a review for... I've already seen a couple but your the reviewer ( & mechanic ) I've subscribed to the longest🐧
Great vid...Especially matching outfits. Thoughtful. Still wanting to see you review my Accord 2.0t another possible sleeper with affordable potential. Thanks for showing...
Happy Saturday Sarah!!
Saw that thing at the open house, quite a car for sure, all the colors available on vehicles now is insane, color matching must be a nightmare in the unfortunate mishap.
Stay excellent!!
One of the more positive reviews. 👍
And yes the entire range needs an update!
Love my '08 G35 Sport Stick shift. I wouldn't trade it for many of the newer cars out there today. With the grey model 4 doors, some michelin super sport, a few minor improvements to the clutch, suspension and you are in for a lot of performance and comfort for the price.
As always a charming and informative review! I've got a 2012 G37 that's getting a bit old in the tooth. I've enjoyed owning this car, and I'm on the fence for a Q50 or Q60. This was helpful! 😎
They have quite a decent after market community. There is also a 811whp VQ37 manual swapped one and a couple of others in the 3.0t category that are quite high. Also, one of the cheapest to tune to around 400 if you just pick up the 300hp version.
Hey Sarah, always like these cars you do not see them often couldn’t agree more. Rockin the coat it’s freezing everywhere the boots are super cute🐧🐧🐧👍
Nice review and hope that the next Z is on point!😎
Enjoyable and fun Review Sarah, current 14 Q50s owner, definitely a fan of the subtle design changes while keeping it the same. Some side notes on fuel mileage and hunting gears in anticipation of needing to accelerate, the throttle input to throttlebody opening rate vs transmission shift point mapping is a little funky... Personally don't use Eco mode, and noted better fuel mileage in sport mode because the throttle input is closer to a 1:1 ratio in time vs opening speed. But I digress, that's from a VQ37HR aspect.
Thanks for the review Sarah. This is one I'll watch and hope it falls like a rock in price. But kind of doubt it.
