Infiniti Q50 Hybrid.

Sub 5s 0-60 and 29/36 MPG. Older M hybrid models reach 0-60 in 5.5s but are hard to find imo. It's no V8 but it'll definitely haul ass.
Yeah I've been looking at the q50 as well

Those are the epitome of what a quality v6 can do besides forced induction.

I like the front end and interior too

Honestly your budget says charger. I don't know why you'd want these luxury cars with such high mileage that you didn't put on them. I mean you can't get the s q50 but for a few thousand more you could get a 2015 q50 with decent mileage for about 25k.

They had a q50 at the dealership for 24 or 25 k with about 30k miles but it's so small

Chargers just don't appeal to me too many people have them and past 100k miles I don't trust them.

I found one m56 with 50k miles for 23k and I might bite

I mean they are small but you did have them in your poll. Also unless you got kids and or stay carrying big stuff it will work unless you worried about a small car or your tall. I know someone that just got one for 30k with 9k on it and the price you said was right too probably was a 14. The m56 is cool but the q70 makes that shyt look old with the newer lights on the exterior even though the interior is the same.

What yr? I am also looking at Q50s. Would appreciate any other opinions on the test drive.

Inside the interior is def updated and its easy to use the dual screens really makes it look modern. The technology is great in it too second to almost none. I didn't like some of the carbon fiber interior in the one I tested it looked cheap. I would go with the wood grain interior. I also think that I absolutely loved the front end of the car it looked aggressive and the daytime headlights looked great. The cupholders also seemed small. The console armrest storage feel small as hell too. Backseat felt tiny too smaller than my g35. The trunk is also smaller in the q50. I think they made the front seats in the q50 larger and the car shorter overall when I was looking at the dimensions and how small the back seat is. Bass sounds good for hip hop r and b songs. Also no inifiniti clock and some don't come with a spare tire :skip:.




As for the engine your probably getting the best v6 without forced induction (turbo or supercharged). You get 330 hp which is hard to find for most comparable v6's. The engine has a nice exhaust even stock and it goes when you step on it. It doesn't feel as fast as fun as the g37 or g35 though. The car handles pretty good too like most smaller import cars it goes right where you want it to.
