- Welcome to "What Car Should You Buy",

2
00:00:02.190 --> 00:00:05.676
where we give real people
real advice on buying cars.

3
00:00:05.676 --> 00:00:10.676
Stan loves his 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe.

4
00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:15.233
It's a fun car, a fast car,
a brightly colored car,

5
00:00:15.233 --> 00:00:17.640
but it's not a car with four doors.

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.640
And that's what Stan needs
in his life right now.

7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.800
But he doesn't want to compromise.

8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.140
He doesn't want to give up that fun factor

9
00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:27.269
just to add some practicality,

10
00:00:27.269 --> 00:00:30.060
and to add adaptive cruise control,

11
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.400
which is a deal breaker.

12
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:37.290
With a budget of $30,000,
what car should Stan buy?

13
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:39.221
Stan, my close personal friend,

14
00:00:39.221 --> 00:00:41.460
you drive a hard bargain here.

15
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:44.490
You want all the performance
of that Genesis coupe,

16
00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:45.900
a high performing car.

17
00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:47.700
I have played with those on the street.

18
00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:49.350
They are fun.

19
00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:50.730
But you need the practicality.

20
00:00:50.730 --> 00:00:52.500
You need the adaptive cruise control,

21
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:54.300
which means something modern,

22
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.040
and you need it under that budget.

23
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:57.420
But I think I've got your answer.

24
00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:00.420
And it comes with an Infinity badge.

25
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:05.130
The Infinity Q50, Red Sport 400.

26
00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:09.900
See, the Q50 is successor
to the G35 and G37,

27
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:14.370
which were really just
Nissan Zs in fancy clothing.

28
00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:17.190
So the Q50 has that aftermarket.

29
00:01:17.190 --> 00:01:19.860
It's got the performance
chops and the chassis,

30
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:21.960
and it's got a wealth of stores

31
00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:23.829
willing to sell you power upgrades.

32
00:01:23.829 --> 00:01:27.270
It's tough to find a
factory car under 30 grand

33
00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:30.129
that has every single thing you want,

34
00:01:30.129 --> 00:01:33.420
but doing it yourself, now that's doable.

35
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:37.710
Get yourself an Infiniti
Q50 Red Sport 400.

36
00:01:37.710 --> 00:01:40.080
Slap on a Stage 1 kit,

37
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:43.550
just a simple tune, maybe
an intake and an exhaust.

38
00:01:43.550 --> 00:01:45.780
Suddenly you've got more power

39
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:48.840
than you ever had to play
around with in the Hyundai.

40
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.340
More than enough to balance out

41
00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.590
the added weight of the bigger car.

42
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:55.884
It's a roundabout way of
getting to what you want,

43
00:01:55.884 --> 00:01:58.680
but I think it's the best way.

44
00:01:58.680 --> 00:01:59.970
