Infiniti Q60 Common Problems & Reliability
The Infiniti Q60 is a stunningly beautiful luxury coupe that replaced the G37, offering head-turning design and a grand touring driving experience. Competing against the Audi A5 and BMW 4 Series, it prioritized long-distance refinement and comfort over sharp, track-focused handling. In the UK, it was available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder or a potent 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 (Red Sport), the latter offering serious straight-line speed. Due to the brand's withdrawal from the UK market, these cars suffer from steep depreciation, making them incredible used bargains. It suits buyers who prioritize striking aesthetics, smooth power, and exclusivity over razor-sharp handling.
