Just not a fan, guess there's no good truck options per se anymore and if there is indeed that many problems with it, I'm not dropping that kind of money on a car that will spend most of its life in a shop... bummer. Well guess Infiniti is my next option though it won't be no truck obviously.

    Save some cash and get a WRX instead!

    You know I had to say it, but honestly I'd recommend Subaru all day long as I've been super happy with them.

    Plus Infinity is just a more expensive Nissan.....but you know this. I actually remember you talking about how good Infinities were years ago....I did check, but they are pricey for what I wanted.

    P.S. If you do consider it I'd let you take my car for a drive to see what you think (well with me as passenger); I don't do this for anyone, but I know your stick shift skills are on point

    Nah, Subaru isn't my piece of cake to be honest plus I'm past the sport car phase, just want something comfy for the most part, 2 wheels is where the fun is at anyways lol. I drove my friends 2017 STi and was rather impressed though, fun little box. The new Q50 has AWD as well, it also comes with a 3.0 300hp turbo motor or if you go to the redsport it goes to 400hp and it costs just as much as a fully loaded Tacoma lol. Also the customer service at Infiniti is amazing and their warranties are amazing as well. I worked for them for 5 years and they were solid cars for the most part, again no car car without issue but they were good cars and have been getting better given they're a newer brand. Yes, they are owned by Nissan but they're rather independent from Nissan just sharing very few platforms.

    Yeah if you don't car about speed then you can get a decent Q50 for about $34K, but that was bottom of line that I saw; AWD is about $36K. I'd have to get the AWD sport model which is like $51K....bit much for me!!!! Think I paid about $36K for the top of line WRX (with STI package, sunroof, heated seats, HID's, navigation and premium stereo, and a few others). Acura's are nice for sure, but you end up paying a bit more.

    Either way happy for you homey
