Test drove the Q60s Redsport Today
The beginning of this summer I scheduled to test drive the Q60s redsport the day of arrival... which was today! For those who don't know a little about the car its a 400 hp V6 twin turbo nissan engine. First impressions: the exterior absolutely beautiful I mean car just looks very aggressive. Thats what really caught my eye. The interior was okay (nothing compared to the 5 series) however I do think the seats are a little bit more comfortable but still dont have half the options our seats do... The technology as well lacked compared to the 5 series. Little to no space in the back of the car one of my passengers had a very uncomfortable time. Okay heres the major downer for me... It has 400 hp but it feels so slow. My 528xi thats has around 300 hp would completely destroy this thing in a 1/4 mile. I feel like from a 40 to 100 I would take this thing as well. All round I would rate the car 6/10 and would definitely consider this a downgrade from my 528xi. However in 2 years the amount of available modifications for this car would be crazy.

That being said, the Q60 would be a downgrade from a 5 series since the Q60 competes more with the 3/4 series.

I'll have to do a little more research on this car since I don't know to much about it?

After having both a Nissan Altima and a Maxima, I would never buy a Nissan again. They were both very dependable cars but were coma inducing boring and the NVH from their V6s was embarrassing compared to BMW engines.

I rented a Q70 a few weeks back on a business trip to Seattle. That thing is a dog! The interior is crap and the engine is severely lacking some balls. I do understand it was a rental, but it was fully loaded and couldn't touch my 550 in any way. Even with the driving mode selector switch in "Sport" it just felt underpowered. I actually like the Ford Fusion Titanium w/Eco-Boost over the Q70 for a rental car choice.
