Vehicle history:

This is the V6 model with 303 horsepower. I am the second owner and all the servicing was done at Infiniti of North Vancouver and Autowest Infiniti in Richmond BC.
I have clear title of the vehicle- no liens.
When I bought the vehicle I was advised that there had been one claim on it for $2000 which had been for a cosmetic bump that the first owner had incurred. I have not had any accidents since owning the vehicle and have maintained it to the highest standards.
There are scratches on the rear passenger side wheel well (see photo).
The vehicle does have 'swirl marks' on the paint which are mostly noticeable on the hood of the car. The front has small rock divets (Nissan/Infiniti along with most Japanese manufacturers have what is described as soft paint and this is normal for the age of the vehicle). I will include a touch up pen as well as a clearcoat pen for this. The swirl marks easily detail out when using Blackfire detailing or all in one products. This can also be seen in the mirror like finish seen in the photos- this was after an all in one detail.
There is no rust of any kind.
Interior leather shows typical wear, some creasing from use however there is no rips or tears or marring.

Vehicle is the base model but as you can see it's anything but basic:
  • Air conditioning
  • Back up camera
  • Alarm
  • Alloy wheels
  • Bluetooth
  • Dual Climate Controls
  • Bose Audio with professionally installed and fabricated amp platform and LC2i input for 10" HO subwoofer
  • Fog lights

  • Power locks
  • Power mirrors
  • Power seats (driver and passenger)
  • Power windows
  • Stability Control
  • AWD
  • Reclining rear seats that fold flat
  • Sunroof
  • Xenon Headlights
Unlike many other owners, I have run premium fuel in this vehicle at all times and religiously followed the maintenance schedule. I have never had any mechanical issues or faults and do not expect that this vehicle will have any going forward for the foreseeable future. This car has been BABIED.

Infiniti Q50S getting G37's hydraulic steering for 2016

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Sometimes, new technology doesn't make things better. Take the march of power steering technology as an example. Electrically assisted systems are in vogue at the moment for their ability to increase fuel efficiency, but tuning them to offer good feedback remains something of a dark art. Some automakers get it, but most don't. The previous hydraulically assisted setups just seem to be inherently more communicative when driven with enthusiasm. And it looks like Infiniti might be learning this lesson the hard way.
In talking with Keith St. Clair, the luxury brand's head of product planning, Car and Driver has learned that the Q50S is probably going to ditch its standard electrically assisted steering in favor of a hydraulic system derived from the old G37, a model soon to be renamed the Q40. The system should make the sedan more engaging behind the wheel, but it still won't help those who tick the option box for Infiniti's controversial Direct Adaptive Steering drive-by-wire system.
According to St. Clair, Infiniti's engineers have heard the complaints of critics and previous G37 owners about the Q50S model's electric steering system, and wanted to see what they could do. They didn't have to go far to figure it out - all it required was taking the steering rack off of a G37 and putting it onto the Q50S. After a little tweaking, "the car is a blast to drive," St. Clair reports. Now, the company is said to be fast-tracking the switch, and it could be ready for the 2016 model year.

The yin and yang of the 2017 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400

Fri, May 19 2017

When we first drove the Q50 Red Sport 400, Infiniti had the car out at a prepared slalom-and-cone course in a large, open parking lot. The car was stacked up against another Q50 without the Direct Adaptive Steer steer-by-wire system, and the course was designed to show that the DAS-equipped Red Sport 400 (it's a $1,000 option) required less steering input to master the same course. With all due respect to Infiniti, which is invested in this unfortunate system and has been working hard to revise it, the comparison doesn't make a lot of sense. The non-DAS Red Sport 400 has a steering ratio of 15:1 in RWD and 16.7:1 in AWD forms. The DAS system can vary between 12:1 and 32.9:1 in RWD and 11.8:1 to 32.3:1 in AWD flavors. At its extremes, the DAS system's ratio is vastly different than the fixed-ratio cars. So sure, with a super-quick steering ratio available, the DAS driver's going to do less work. It's all in the gearing. Does this mean it's better, that the steering feel is more natural, that it's easier to hustle quickly? The amount the driver saws at the wheel isn't an indication of that, necessarily. After a few days in a rear-drive Red Sport 400, I'm saying that the spooky disconnection between the driver and the front wheels would be a severe deficit to a driver on a real autocross course. It's not like the DAS system is choosing bad ratios within its range, it's just not supplying the feedback to make it enjoyable. Knowing what your front tires are up to is critical. I can hear you saying right now, "But what Q50 Red Sport 400 owners are going to autocross their cars?" Sure, but it was just a means to an end: showing off the DAS in a good light. And in that case, it probably did. The thing is, in isolation, not back-to-back with a non-DAS car with a slow steering ratio, the DAS system has the same issues it's always had: It simply doesn't feel natural. It doesn't feel intuitive. There doesn't seem to be any real advantage over a slightly quicker rack. I don't hear about people making buying decisions based on how much work they have to do sawing at the wheel, do you? So, that's one side of the Q50 coin – one that's hard to ignore if you're an enthusiast and steering feel is an important connection between you and the vehicle you just dropped a large hunk of change on, and will be spending a lot of your time in. The other is that there's a really compelling reason to drive a Red Sport 400: The 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 is a monster.

Infiniti QX80 Monograph: Not just luxury, 'upscale luxury'

Wed, Apr 12 2017

We've been getting a slow rollout of news about the new Infiniti QX80 Monograph mega-SUV for the past week or two, and Infiniti provided more details Tuesday about its concept car at the New York Auto Show, saying the mega-SUV is a combination of "luxury with a commanding presence" and "the ultimate expression of futuristic luxury SUV design." Infiniti says the car embodies, not just luxury, but "upscale luxury." The company says the concept's design language incorporates a mix of geometric and organic shapes, including character lines and aluminum trim that were actually intended to make the big SUV appear even bigger than it actually is, which is more than five meters long, so perhaps 17 feet, more than 6 feet wide and about 6 feet tall. The most striking features are the headlamps, which become long, slender lines that wrap around the front corners, then taper into light bars that end at the doors in sculptured rear-view cameras in lieu of side mirrors. The car also has large, functional fender vents to divert air to the engine, and despite all that luxury it is still SUV enough to have an underbody cover protecting the underside - and improving aerodynamics. Likewise, an aerofoil between the tailpipes is said to improve airflow in the SUV's wake. It's a big, beautiful rig.
