AMT Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Just thought I'd share a few pics of what I've got to get me into work in the morning (banana arm and drop link...surprise). Not bad lookin thing, its like a big jumped up hatchback. You certainly feel like your in a big car from the drivers seat. Think its the higher end model AWD, cabins a nice place and materials are top notch. Seats a bit uncomfy on my lower back and it only has one stalk behind the wheel...which flustered me for a few seconds when I went to use it haha. Bit expensive but certainly a very nice alternative to the usual stuff...

Stutopia Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Pretty cool for a courtesy, I think I might go Infiniti when I grow up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Wow, the interior is pretty nice - shame about the rest I'm confused by the one stalk thing, can you explain how it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nice interior, looks really high quality When I first heard about this concept I thought it would be a good shout for the mrs when it was released.... Until they made it look like that They're all guilty of this. Drive well and nicely finished inside but outside they're all a bit wierd. Only one I coulda seen myself in was the G37 coupe. I wanted them to do well as a brand but they'll never compete with the Germans until they look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Some mercs have 1 stalk- twist for wipers and up/down for indicators. They've pinched merc engines so probably the wiper stalks too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've pinched merc engines so probably the wiper stalks too lol I was thinking that, but then I thought wouldn't they have put the gearstick on the coloumn too? My mums '14 plate E class has that, and it drives me crazy! Glad to see they kept the gearstick in the center, where it belongs. Besides, 7 on the tree doesn't work ( Nor does 7 on the floor hahaha ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah its a bit annoying. I also found theres no 'park' in the auto gearbox...and if there is I haven't found it. I can only see D, N, R. lol So it sits in N with the handbrake...(electrical..aarrgh!!). I don't mind modernising stuff but stick to whats been done for years as its intuitive.... normal handbrake and two stalks...and have park! lol The car itself for what it is, is pretty nippy, gearbox is ok and steerings better than some of the original Q50's I tried, but you don't half realise how good the steering in a Z is until you try other stuff haha, can't wait to get it back...rattle free hopefully.

Zeezeebaba Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The electric handbrake is the worst idea auto makers have ever devised. I despise them ever since a Passat company car I was driving decided to stick on during rush hour traffic. Useless idea!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The electric handbrake is the worst idea auto makers have ever devised. I despise them ever since a Passat company car I was driving decided to stick on during rush hour traffic. Useless idea!! Agreed. We had a C220 in work and I just couldn't figure out the hand brake. Gave up in the end and just left it in gear wherever I parked it. Then I rented an A180 and couldn't figure out how to start it. Took 10 mins before I worked that one out. Not good when your day job is a getaway driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Quite like the current batch of Infiniti cars. They're even more attractive if you're related to a Nissan employee as the discounts range from 20-28% off list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah they are starting to get fairly nice looking, looking forward to seeing the new coupe that's coming soon. Incidentally the parking brake...there was a 'p' button but I was unsure if this was it or the parking sensors... as I've seen them on cars there before and it was a bit flimsy for a handbrake button but who knows...
