Traded in my G35 coupe for a Q50! Needed a 4dr already and this was great timing for a new look!



Last pic before I traded her in:



The new Q50:

 

Wow!!!! How do you like the upgrade

 

It feels like an upgrade all around from the 03 G35 Coupe!

Love the ride, even though it came with Run Flats but a simple tire replacement should make the ride even much better!

Love the light output of the LED headlights! Has a wide coverage and bright output!

Leather quality is very nice! Love how it feels!

Seats are very comfortable!

Voice recognition is a very huge welcome! Makes a lot of things easier to control!

Hybrid, which is what I got, is a beast! Output of 360hp combined with the electric motor! Love the mpg rates too with 28 city and 34 hwy!

Brakes are kinda squishy! Probably because of regenerative braking!

Cabin is really quiet! They really did well in reducing external/road noise!

There have been problems with the intouch system though! With reportd of lock up! Only experienced it once but is an annoyance!

Direct adaptive steering is nice! Being able to set the stiffness of your steering wheel is just cool! That along with being able to change your drive mode to sport, eco, snow, and personal, makes quite a nice combo for customization of the feel of your ride!

 

Congrats! It's a sweet looking ride! Can't wait to see what the coupe looks like

 

Well I hope you bring it to the GTG meet in September. Any plans for the Q?

 

drop & wheels.


saw your post on the q forum.. congrats

 

I'm a big fan of the Q50's, nice choice! Any plans for it going forward?

 

Ill try man! It depends what day it is! So far debadging was the only mod done but surely gonna do some caliper and grille painting, tints, and some other stuff! Planning on going to R&J for the paint! Maybe autoexplosion!

Thanks man! So far no real concept for the coupe yet but its kinda wierd that it'll be called Q60!

Wish it was that easy man! I am not sure if doing a drop and changing wheels will throw off the sensors for the direct adaptive steering! I am actually thinking of the SSR GTF01 since its basically a 5 spoke te37! Going to talk with some guys for sizing and the possible direct adaptive steering problem!

Ohh yea ive been frequently hanging there lately!

Yea, its a very sexy car man! There's a lot of things I wanna do but going to minimalize my mods for this car! Mostly costmetic but we dont know what might come! Hopefully motordyne jumps on this car as well!

 

Please bring it to the GTG!

 

Ill try man! Where is it going to be held and when will it be? Hope ssr comes so I can check their wheels out!

 

end of next month, details coming soon!

 

Just got the invite from Marcus! Bad timing though since I work saturdays! :-(

Well hopefully by that date I will already have a different schedule!

 

So nice!! Doesnt need much, just some tint and get rid of the chrome.. Good luck with it..

 

Thanks man! I am going to get my windows tinted but no plans for now! I am trying to get R&J to paint my calipers candy apple red! The chrome actually works for the moonlight white and am fine with it! Gonna have the mesh on the grille painted gloss black though!

Also trying to look for some wheels! Leaning towards the SSR GTF01 but might have some problems with the Direct Adaptive Steering! Not sure how i'll know if it will be a problem! Maybe just wait and see how others will turn out!

 

With the number of exclamation points you used I'm going to say your experience with it is positive lol.
