INFINITI Q60 Coupe

[scottmandue]

When I get bored I'm guilty of surfing Aurotrader and Bring a Trailer.

This is an interesting car, don't hear much about them, anyone here driven one? What are they like?

Haven't driven a Q60 but the wife is on her second Infiniti since 08. We have had good luck with the brand. They are a great value for the luxury and tech.

old G3.5/37 with a face lift sorta a skyline based

I think that's what my brother drives. The technology features drive him crazy.

I've driven a few, it's like an 80% copy of a BMW that's actually reliable and won't fall apart. The V6 has good power but gets somewhat coarse at higher RPM, decent steering, brakes, and handling. It's a decent GT car and would be a good daily driver.

Yep - I have one of these, but actually mine is a Skyline I imported from Japan. The same but a few years older.
Build quality is great with lots of aluminium panels. Paint is water based so a bit delicate. Comfortable & fast - wife likes riding in it (she doesn't like my 911 hotrod).

Very reliable & it has exactly the same mechanicals as the Nissan 370Z but can fit 4 people in reasonable comfort.

It is very close to a 996 in many concepts but doesn't have the 'IMS type' of problems. It lacks the P. car exclusiveness and in Australia is worth about half the price of an equivalent 996/997.

I havent followed these at all, thanks for bringing them up. I havent driven one since the g35/37, cant remember. Nice enough but seemed like too much nissan plastic at the time. Looks like a nicer car now but as too common, dont see a manual trans.

The G37 was available with a stick. Not sure about the Q60. Their model numbering system is weird.

Thanks, I thought I was having a brain fart... "it looks a lot like a G37?"

Not too impressed with the dash, or the auto trans, I presume all new autos have "bump shifting? (our Mazda mini van has it )

Scott, I read on Wikipedia that the Q60 coupe could be had with a 6-speed manual from 2013-2015.
