Infiniti Q60 Red Sport vs RX Sport

I had a g37s coupe and spent quite a bit of time in a q50. Coming from a previous infiniti owner who just bought a lexus, if what you really want is performance, then lexus just wont cut it for you when compared to the competition. The q60 looks like it uses the same materials as the q50 and i thought it was super cheap. It looks kind of tacky, but it feels like cheap plastics all around. Any lexus ive been in has been much more refined in comfort and interior. Also get used to interior rattles. Also, not sure if this will matter, but if you ever have to call infiniti consumer affairs, good luck to you. Theyre pathetic.
I dont hate infiniti, the cars are good for what they are, but i will never buy another nissan or infiniti again.

g0tem - i don't think new q60 interior looks cheap, just sporty. also, gf has '15 q60 (not new model) and zero rattles. sorry you had a bad experience. lexus has had rattle issues with some models too.

i can't say infiniti makes bad cars. it just comes down to what you want in your car. just like how lexus isnt the first car brand you think of when you want performance.

Desperately needs the car by next week end since my 14 GS lease ended.
I have always been with Lexus but nothing on the line up really excites me. I like RC but unconformable for me to sit on.
Any feedback on Infiniti Q60 red sport? I read the previous thread and agreed with dated interior.
I know new RX Sport will be comfortable and get the job done for me as I have owned before.
This comes down to either 400 hp coupe or just cruiser. I know its so opposite but cant really make the decision.
Also, I have never owned the coupe before so any feedback will be appreciated from previous coupe owners.

3rd time I notice how long the turbo lag was, on MB c43 AMG had zero lag compare to q60.
at the end I decide to go with MB but than I look at the electric gizmos in it. I back away from that sexy coupe due to many little sensors that could go bad on it.
ended up buying 2017 is350 lols it's no where near fast as both of them but... it seem more bang for the buck ..
so end of of the day it comes to what you like, how you will drive.
i wanted fast car than realize, I hardly ever gets open roads lol and when I do mr police man is watching.
Just my 2cents

i test drove q60 3 times, first I felt super fast, second time I test drove MB c43 AMG and difference wasn't that much.

Still looking at all car reviews as can't make up my mind..Personally, never able to make any deals with Benz or Audi local dealerships..
Since you have mentioned C-class coupe, will have to test drive one...

Since you are looking at both Coupes and Crossovers, split the difference and go for a '17 Audi A4. It is a great all-around car. 4k miles here and absolutely no regrets. Look up the reviews. Or if you really want a coupe, consider the Audi A5 coupe.
I will say that the Infiniti Q60 is stunning, but after leasing a '13 G37 Convertible for over 3 years I doubt we will go back to Infiniti. The car has been mechanically flawless, but the squeaks, rattles and road noise are annoying. We also had a '10 G37 Convertible, and I purposely avoided the Sport package this time around, but the car still rides rough and has lots of road noise. As someone else mentioned, "refinement" is what Infiniti is lacking. The Audi A4/A5 has it in spades.

I'm not sure what you think the A4 is, but for a car that goes 0-60 in 5.7, is as quiet inside as an A8, stays planted to the ground and feels as good at 90mph as is does as 45mph, has brown leather/black oak interior, a kick-*** Bang & Olufsen sound system, Virtual Cockpit, interior ambient lighting and a flawless finish both inside and outside, along with Quattro... I think the $49k I paid for mine was well worth the money. It is every bit the car my $61k '13 GS F-Sport was for $12k less. Not sure how one can equate that to overpriced.
