Great car in every way

Glad we picked this make, model, and year. Comfort with great styling and tons of twin turbine V8 power. By chance, just before buying, we saw the same exact car in a parking lot. We, talked to the owner and he gave it high marks all around with no negitatives, that helped us make the decision to buy one.

Q50Red fast, fun, sleeper

The Q50R is a rocket. The twin turbo 3.0 liter, 400hp engine simple rips, providing amazing acceleration. You feel it, but when you see your speed, you are often surprised. The seats are comfortable, the sound system is great. Mine is AWD with heated seats and steering wheel, which is great for our winters with sub freezing temps. The run flat tires are hard and provide a stiff, bumpy ride. I am switching to a regular performance tire. The Q50Red is rare in my area, and most people have no idea what it its. The perfect sleeper. Love it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this car!

Best purchase I ever made. Aside from loving the styling of the car, it's comfortable. It performs like a champ, both from the perspective of reliability and day-to-day operations. Personal opinion - as compared to similar vehicles, it's reasonably priced.

Quick Grocery Getter

Everything exterior looks good. Interior feels nice and premium. I wish it had heated and cooled seats; but heated is fine. I also wish it had power fold mirrors. I have the Iridium Blue, and the graphite wheels look nice together. Quick enough for an awd 4,000Ib car, to surprise people on the hwy.

Very Reliable. Could use some more power

It is a good economic car. Nice Shape. Love the remote starter. Love the All Wheel Drive. It has less power than I would have liked.

Sporty, luxurious, and practical

I’ve owned lots of cars from Mustang GT’s to Miata’s to BMW’s to now a Q50. I traded in my last BMW after becoming tired of it breaking down every other month for something more reliable. I’m pleased with my decision, I have the 3.0 TT Premium Q50 making it plenty fast with enough tech features to make it easy to daily drive. The infotainment system is somewhat mediocre compared to its rivals but at the end of the day you have a car that simply works. Sure BMW, Audi, & Mercedes have more tech options and sensors but they are prone to breaking and malfunctioning. After 1,500 miles in the first month of ownership and pushing the car to its limits it meets my expectations. (Doesn’t exceed them, but does meet them). I chose the Q50 as a CPO with a 6-year unlimited mile warranty which is better than its competitors by a long shot. I am happy with my purchase and plan to keep the car until the warranty expires. The only other car I would consider over the Q50 is a CPO car from Genesis but they are priced a little higher than most Q50’s. Basically anyone who is looking for something reasonably comfortable, reasonably fast and nimble, and reasonably economical for a luxury sports sedan should look no further. If you are looking for a German sports sedan I would point you to Infiniti or Genesis which both have amazing warranties and stand behind their cars unlike their German rivals.
