Q50 Red Sport43/70
The Deal
4
Priced about at the going rate for its power, and resale falling 18% a year takes $3,387 of it back annually.
The Drive
7
The Nissan Z's engine in a four-door, steered through a system that tells you very little.
The Upkeep
4
Premium is required, not recommended, and insurance runs 12.4% of the book value a year.
The Risk
5
The five recalls cost nothing once done and a VIN check finds them. The turbos are the $4,400 question, and no inspection answers it.
The Daily
8
A proper four-door with a usable trunk. What it lacks is phone mirroring, in every year we scored.
The Limit
6
Competent rather than sharp, on a class line SCCA has never split out for the Red Sport 400.
The Mods
8
Cheap and well supported to tune, and every extra psi lands on the turbos this car is already known to lose.
