hmale4yu Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Same engine as the Q60 3.0t , these are literally less than half price with around 10k on the clock Anyone brave enough to give this any consideration? I cant think of any car in the same price and sub 15k mileage range for the same money. As a comparison Newish Kia Stinger GTs are now at the £25k ish mark whilst A45s start from £27k at the lower mileage end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Awesome looking cars imo. If I didn't already have my 370 I'd seriously consider one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q50s aren't as large as well as having more space inside, extra doors etc These 3.0ts or "Redsports" as they call them in the US all come from the same factory line as the GTRs and Nismos from the factory in Tochigi Wondering how low these will go...

GranTurismoEra Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Q60 is a good shout. But I hear they are quite thirsty and heavier than your average C Class. Can be had now for £26,000. Suppose its decent value when you look at the market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmale4yu Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 I can see insurance costs perhaps putting people off as well as the fuel costs. Though there is the 350hp hybrid Q50 - 3.0h i believe? These also can be had at a similar price. V few cars so a case of take what's on the market This is up there with the I30n fastback in terms of performance sub-15k mileage bargains out there atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmale4yu Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) 370z Nismo. Have never seen a q60 in the flesh but the q50s are nice having seen the basic trims/engines. Someone who has seen all told me the Nismo is the biggest head turner. That said I saw i30 fastback today first time and was pleasantly surprised. Looks q classy . Base model. Proportions just right for UK roads Edited October 1, 2019 by hmale4yu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I saw a black Q60 in LA and even my badge oriented brother thought they looked nice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi. If anyone thinks they might have any issues with insurance for this type of model then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 problem with these cars is the unnerving electric steering wheel which is said to feel artificial at motorway speed. They say to avoid models with a certain feature that tries to make adjustments sending the car left and right. Why couldn't they stick to a basic electric steering system like in the older japanese cars like the CRZ . Sometimes too much tech is a bad thing.
