Hi there - we test drove some SUVs and pitted the QX50 against the Lincoln MKC. The MKC seemed like a regular Ford disguised as a luxury car. The Infiniti seemed to be - from the ground up - made out of better materials and a truly nicer vehicle. Found this 2020 with only 20k miles on it so it fit what we were looking for.

this is my first Nissan/Infiniti. Grew up on Chevy and Ford, and got a Hyundai Sonata a few years ago.
Bought it this morning and so far am loving it! Can’t wait to see what fun posts this forum has. The only real upgrade I may go to the vehicle is use a K&N air filter on it.

Welcome to the Forum ~

How are your impressions after the first week ?

 

[Romando]

So far so good! The car oozes quality and craftsmanship

Couldn't agree more with your initial impressions.

I too was always an American Car guy.
I had a 2003 Anniversary Edition C5 Corvette for 5 years as a weekend escape pod type car to have fun tooling around in besides a family cruiser SUV . . .

The Novelty wore off after time . . .

About a year later, wanted a 2 seater again, but something less cliche' and more user friendly . . .

Stumbled upon a 10 year old at the time - pampered - extremely low milage Nissan 350Z
My first Non-American car . . .

It out performed the Corvette in every way shape and form ~

The Z soon turned it into my commuter car for the next 5 years putting over 100,000 miles on it with Zero Issues
( I have winters ~ so it was driven 10 months out of the year as daily driver for a 70 mile round trip )

The Z eventually needed to be replaced and the INFINITI QX50 just seemed to fit the bill
Room for 3 more, AWD, and mine being a '16 has a 325 HP 3.7 V6
And with that Nissan Sense of Indestructible Reliability ~ but with the Upscale INFINITI Vibe and Craftsmanship

I feel like I'm driving a 370Z shooting brake now on the daily commute and absolutely love it ~ and have become an INFINITI Fan Boy ~

Once again, welcome to fold here

Nice thanks for the awesome detailed reply! Ironically I’ve been keeping my eye on Nismo 350z around town here lately since in Colorado they aren’t that sought after!!!

I just got a 2020 QX50 with 19k miles, how do I make this thing faster?
I already have the new k&n filter on the way. Has anyone used the chips?

Welcome !

Perhaps check out an outfit called Z1Motorsports ~ although they special in making Z cars go faster, they are hip to all Things Nissan and INFINITI and Modding and Making them go faster is their business.
