Purchased used 2004 corporate lease with 77k miles in excellent condition. Read most Edmunds reviews prior to purchase and some of the negative reviews I have not seen. I will confirm that the DVD monitor button rattles when in use. The back door rattles only when one hits a moderate jolt, but so far we love it. Lots of room with four captain chairs, powerful engine.

Awesome SUV

My wife purchased new after test driving escalade,denali,LX470 and Navigator. We did have brake problems at 15K but dealer replaced all rotors and pads and extended warranty from that time. This is an all around great SUV with every feature but most of all very comfortable and lots of space. Lots of power and for a 7600lb truck 16MPG is good, we now have 80K and were going to trade but it runs so good the wife wont let it go. I cant wait to see new model and we would trade for another.

I purchased an '04 Infiniti QX56 with about 60K miles on it. After driving it for about 25K miles, I am still very pleased with the truck. I was initially concerned about the brakes after reading some of the early reviews, but that hasn't been an issue for me. I've haven't had a single mechanical problem. I would gladly purchase again.

I am sold on Infiniti. Having driven BMWs for over 15 years I must say that as soon as I test drove the Infiniti it felt very much like a Beamer but much better. Coming from an X5 BMW I wanted to have speed and pick up and still have a car feel to driving. The QX56 has it all, power, comfort and the Cadillac Escalade that I test drove was no comparison. This is an 04 with only 21,000 miles so it feels like new. Took it on the interstate for the first time and it was like heaven. The cockpit gives one the feel of an aircraft. Awesome job Infiniti I'm hooked!!

This car is pretty amazing, nice interior, navigation, rearview camara, parking sensors, dvd entertainment system. The second row of seats actually heat up. I like that the passenger seats incline all the way compared to my last car( fx 35) I decided to change becuase I'm used to big cars. The only thing that I dont like is the fuel consumption. 80 dollars to fill tank up. Other than that I love it.

Bought this in the first model year. Too many small problems and a few big ones. Several of the problems can't be fixed because they are "not reproducible" at the dealership.

This is a luxury cruiseliner on wheels. I have 77K on this car in 3 years because we would rather drive in this machine. The only problem we had was they did not make the brakes powerful enough when they first produced it, but Infiniti stepped up in a big way and not only replaced the brakes, but also paid for all of my factory services for the first 30K miles in a gesture of goodwill. They literally sent me a check for over $500. Gotta love a company that stands behind their product. The kids love this thing and we have taken 2-3 hour trips with this thing with 7 adults and no complaints of discomfort. This vehicle is the ultimate in comfort.

After 30 months of hard South Florida driving, my QX56 is still going strong! I'm averaging 15 mpg per fill-up with premium fuel. I've had no mechanical problems and the vehicles handling and brakes have allowed me to avoid several potential accidents. For the money, I can't believe that this SUV doesn't rank higher on everyone's list. Most people have not been inside a QX56 nor have they driven one but every time someone new gets inside my vehicle, it's all compliments. For those who are shopping SUVs, reward yourself and check out the value of the QX56.

Vehicle has performed well, and for a 2004 model, has some superior qualities, like rear view camera, and front radar that controls the vehicle speed while using cruise control. Plenty of size and comfort for any taste, it handles well in adverse Midwest weather, and for a large SUV earns respectable 16 mpg mileage. Overall I would seriously consider buying another version of this vehicle when I replace this one.

Definitely better value/fun quotient over Escalade and Navigator, better new car price too. This is one of those "no brainer" buying decisions. After 2+ years and 45,000 miles would definitely do it again!

I love my QX56. I compared Escalde, Denali, Lexus, Toyota, Armada and others. The QX56 was by for the best equipped, best warranty and the best value at $50,000. I will trade it in for another QX56 in 2008 no matter what the price gas goes to.

Piece of junk. Brake judder with brake replacement plus brake failure times 2. Dealer unable to fix. Requires two trips to have anything fixed. Replaced door lock relay and windshield washer motor. Recalled for fire hazard from trailer light socket. Dealer refuses to fix rear window spray nozzle. Luckily able to avoid 2 crashes when brakes failed. Shakes, rattles and rolls. Drives like a tank. Steering wheel will not come back into place every time. A/C controls are terrible. Gas guzzler.

This is without a doubt the worst vehicle that I have ever owned. I am 55 and trade every 2 years. I traded out of a Lexus LX470 into the Infiniti QX56. In the first 20,000 miles the brakes failed 4 times. The rotors replaced & resurfaced 3 times. The ABS and skid control malfunction almost killing me. It is a noisy, rough piece of junk. Traded it today for an 07 Escalade. WHAT A RELIEF! The Cadillac is far superior in ride, quality, and technology. Not to mention fuel economy. The weird noises, parts falling off and brake failures on the QX are almost laughable. A true GARBAGE TRUCK!

After a disappointing Escalade ownership experience, gave the Japanese Mfrs. a try. The QX56 won us over with their features, gizmos, and inventive seats. The test drive did not reveal some immediate issues we discovered on our fist trip: the truck rides hard, even on highway, had to reduce tire pressure to make it acceptable. The road disturbances excite the truck body which resonates the interior with an uncomfortable sound. (shoulda' used thicker steel) The overhead console rattled (had replaced). The brakes replaced 3 times - never admitted that they undersized the rotors. Temp. controls are counter-intuitive. Seats are flat w/ little side & head support - Nissan Armada's are better!

I was looking for a large safe luxurious SUV for my family with good value and have found it in this vehicle. Comfort level is second to none in my opinion in the QX56. Gas mileage is not an issue when you buy in this class and size. There were issues with software probs in the navigation system but these were quickly rectified by my dealer. Dollar for dollar this SUV is got to be considered when purchasing in this class.

Love it except Brakes and Vibration!

My family loves this SUV. It is VERY comfortable and it is VERY fun to drive. However, I just wanted to add to every person that has already said something about the brakes. We have also had the brakes serviced several times for rotor problems (shaking). It's VERY ANNOYING because our dealership is one hour away and they won't pick up the vehicle to service it. It's hard to love a car so much and have such a terrible time with the brakes. We are considering exercising the Lemon Law because brakes are a safety issue. Maybe Infiniti will perk up then? The vibration in the roof is awful too. I noticed several people are experiencing that as well.

This car has been very disappointing! Innumerable services required for multiple flaws (the major one being faulty design flaw for brakes requiring service every 3 months), as well as repairs for the rear hatch, sunroof, navigation system, back-up camera, and rattling DVD console. Have had car 12 months and in for service 13 times. Multiple complaints with this car are common (esp. re: brakes), so beware! Like the size it affords for a family, but it has been an incredible inconvenience. Research the internet on the problems with this vehicle and consider waiting to purchase until the manufacturer has worked out the kinks! Also beware our average is 12 MPG!

My husband purchased the QX56 as a surprise Christmas present for me. I was also interested in the Lexus GX and the Volvo XC90. After getting a glimpse of the masculine yet alluring body style, I climbed inside and instantly fell in love. The crisp, clean lines of the leather interior speak to understated elegance. The bells and whistles on the Q cannot be overlooked, either. The power lift gate, adjustable pedals and memory seat/mirrors make errands a pleasure. And the 315 horsepower doesn't hurt, either! The storage capacity is amazing. Our family never understood the concept of "traveling light", and the Q just seems to gobble all our gear and ask for more. And it's a headturner!

Surplus of horsepower

I needed something that seats six comfortably. The Sequoia, Escalade and Navigator 3rd row could not compare. This SUV has incredible horsepower (315) and comes to a stop in a hurry. GPS navigation is awesome (makes me feel like getting lost on purpose). The family loves it. The intelligent cruise control, the rear view camera, the memory seats (includes side mirrors and foot pedal adjustments) are great. Heated seats in the driver, passenger and second row a nice touch as well. During the cold weather months the remote start is a pleasure. The nimble handling is almost as impressive as the acceleration (both low and midrange). I would recommend this vehicle in a heartbeat.

Overall, I love this vehicle but it has had a problem with the brakes. Had to be replaced after 12000 miles. It was still under warranty so not a major deal. Would recommend the backup camera and DVD, love both. Would not recommend tan interior as it looks great, but not practical with kids as it gets dirty very fast.

Beautiful car poor performance. The vehicle has terrible vibration in the roof. Since my purchase in June 2004 I have had several problems such as brakes, seats, handling, vibration, dvd, and back hatch. Don't waste your money. Infiniti clearly needs to work on the quality if they are going to compete in the luxury suv market. I want to get rid of mine but wouldn't want some other poor sucker get it.

Was a little concerned about buying a 2004 model, but I've owned it for two weeks & I love it. My freind just bought a new 2004 Lincoln Navigator, so we did a side by side comparrison. The Infiniti QX56 kills it. It has more horsepower and torque.The styling of both trucks is great, but the fit and finish of the QX56 is better than the Navigator's. The Navigator's rear hatch motor is very noisy, while the QX56's is quiet. My friend has owned Navigator for three months and it hasalready been in the shop three times. He wishes he bought the QX56. I love the birds eye veiw Navigation system and the stereo. The interior is unique with the blond wood and bushed alum; very plush & comfertable. This SUV is very fast & fun to drive. I look forward to driving it any time I have to someware.

I got suckered into buying what I thought was a new luxury Japansese truck. I liked the exterior and the interior was not that bad to me coming from a Denali. This car shakes, rattles, rolls and I cannot believe it is no better built than my old GMC Denali. I do like the fact its very big and fast, what a nice engine. But I've been to the dealer 8 times for various quality issues in less than 6 months.

This is one of the best SUVs I have ever owned and I have had them all. The way it handles on the road is smooth. It is especially roomy on the second row. This is great when traveling with the kids. I was disappointed that the navigation system was not design with the forethought a passenger input. Moreover, the knobs are not user friendly for the temperature. Lastly, the side mirrors should have been power retracable as well as tilted when backing up. The should really improve on the navigation system. As well as power folding third row seat. Overall, it is an excellent and fun vehicle to drive. The kids love it

This new SUV is a lesson in comfort and style on the inside. But Infiniti is still working out the 1st year glitches. AFter a few months the SUV shook violently every time brakes were applied. The Infiniti service team discovered the QX56 has the same exact brake system as the G35! The brakes are way too small for this heavy truck. Big design flaw. Brakes had to be totally replaced early on, but with the same small system which is doomed to fail again. Overall it is fun to drive, handles remarkably well for such a big SUV and is very comfortable. I just suggest waiting until Infiniti gets the kinks worked out.

I bought a full-loaded QX56 with rear camera and DVD entertainment system. I still think it's probably the best large SUV between $50K-60K. It's definitely much better than it's American competitors (i.e., Escalade and Navigator). I like the exterior, very "pimpy" but not too obnoxious. The interior, however, is not as sophisticate as I would like it to be. The interior needs another round of makeover to make it superior than Nissan Armada. Otherwise, I am fairly happy with my purchase.

Folks, I test drove the following: Lexus 470, mercedes M500 and G500, Range Rovers, Lincolns, Escalade, Hummer H1 and H2, VW Toureg, and QX56. I enjoyed the QX56, Toureg, and H2 in that order. The rest didn't feel right to me. I have had my QX56 for one month and 1100 miles and absolutely love it. I had it at my ranch doing off road chores and the low range was excellent (not offered on some of the luxury boats) I got 18.7 round trip in mileage in the first 1000 will get better as things break in somewhat. For record I have owned a Escalade and two H1's and never again will own another of them.

I fell in love with the QX56 when I drove it and loved the way it handled so we purchased it. I should have known this SUV was not a good thing when I noticed the armrest on the second row were unraveling. Since then we have had a squeak in the sunroof/DVD section that is unbarable. It's been in the shop 3 times for that.The navigation system stopped working after 1 1/2 months.The back roof panel has fallen down, the radio dial popped out above the DVD screen, the flat tire waring light comes on and there are no flat tires.The brakes and rotors replaced twice in 11600 miles.Been in shop for 48 days so far (still in shop).Parts always on back-order.Dealer's been great/Infiniti has not!!!

The QX56 is by far the best car i haved ever owned. The ride is very nice. I love the navigation system and the Smart vision, it is very quiet. From the second that I opened the door I could tell that it was very luxurious. I have driven the escalade,navigator, and Yukon Denali and they don't even come close to the quality of the QX56, and they are way over priced for what they come with. Its a great car.

Bought the Jade QX56 in CA. Took delivery in Reno. Had a great dive to Missoula. Getting to know this car is like setting up a new computer. people comment that the interior looks like an airplane interior. Yhe designers mieed the boat for little spots to put coins, etc. 1st tank was 15mpg. I then put it in D instead of 4 and got 16 1/2. From {daho Falls to Missoula via Sun Valley I got 18.42 mpg. Speed varied between 65-80. Quiet ride, very comfortable on long trips. I immediately had a 3m clear bra put on it. Also covered the headlights. This vehicle sure seems to be a good choice.

I have a little over 12000 miles on my QX56, and am having a very difficult time getting some "problems" taken care of. I have now had it back to the dealer twice trying to get a horrible rattle stopped. My wife just had it to the dealer today (it's a 9 hour round trip) and reports that she had gone less than 50 miles and it started again. The person in the service department went so far as to tell her "hopefully it might be stopped, but I can't say for sure". This is rediculous to have a $55000 vehicle with rattles to begin with, and worse that they can't seem to get them stopped. Consumer Affairs will hear from me tomorrow!

For once, everything is perfect.

Had a Yukon XL, nice, but not like the Buggy. Have driven most all types of cars, and this one beats them all. I thought my 2004 M45 was nice, until I test drove this SUV. Have not checked the fuel economy, and probably won't. The pleasure, space, comfort, and awesome looks of this vechicle offset any consumption of fuel. Have a 2004 beetle, and only get 22 MPG. Who cares.

While I enjoy the spaciousness of the QX56, I am VERY disappointed in the overall quality of the vehicle. As a former Lexus owner, I was looking for a quality (slightly larger) SUV. The QX56 fit the bill in size but the quality-stops me COLD. In 2 months, my catalytic converter has gone bad & there is a major squeak in the front passenger seat. The problem is that no one can tell me when the part will arrive even though it was "ordered at the highest customer service level (i.e. off road)". In the meantime, my vehicle sounds like a tank-inside and out!! I expected better quality & service in a vehicle of this price range. In my opinion, Infiniti has failed

I've got to say that I'm impressed with the TRUCK so far. Compared to our 1988 Toyota Land Cruise and our 1999 Ford Expedition-which we still own, the QX-56 is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of sophistication, quality, power, and comfort. That being said, the QX-56 is still a truck albeit a very refined, heavy and powerful one. This car will be my wife's daily driver which she will use to haul our kids around to their activities and our weekly drives to Tahoe once the snow starts falling.

We were on our way to see an used LX and decided to stop by this inf. dealer just to take a quick look at the new QX since we are far away from the dealer and hadn't got a chance to see it. The next thing we know, our year- long search for a SUV ended there two hours later; we left the dealer with a piece of signed paper in hands. We have owned it for three months now and had a 1200 miles trip with six peopke inside (nobody complained). Many good things have been said already, not need to repeat. Just want to say that before this QX we had a van, me and my husband often faught for our other car, a BMW; but now any of us will be happy to take the truck. :)

My wife and I have owned 3 surburbans, so we decided to step up into a differnt design. We have enjoyed this suv as much as the surburbans. There is a lot more leg room in the middle row and third row of seats. you do give up storage space. Overall I would rate this and recommend the suv to everyone.

Had initial quality problems after getting the car: Replacement of map bezel. Steering wheel does not extend every time I get in the car and put key in ignition. Dealer is unable to find problem so I have to live with it. Radio antenna on rear window was broken, If you hold the cruise control lever up for a couple seconds the car lags and then a few seconds later races from 60 to 90 before it can be stopped. Dealer says they are aware of this and can do nothing about it. I like the performance, handling, power and comfort very much. I had 2 Lexus' before this and the service just is not up to par with what I am used to. Hope they improve.

The QX-56 is a great looking SUV. The build quality is very poor. The basic structure of the vehicle is flawed.Sqeaks and rattles are abundant. The roof panel will "tin can" if a single window is opened at speeds above 60 mph. Window regulators have failed (2),drivers seat has failed,overhead console has fallen down. The total enjoyment of what should have been a great SUV has been lost. Dealer was not able to fix due to a lack of parts. Nissan went to production without a robust supply of service parts resulting in 5 months of wait time before repair.

I was sold on this SUV simply by its price & overall design & excellent reputation which Infiniti has earned through the years & is right behind Lexus in quality & reliability. The QX56 offers superior power & handling unlike other SUV's in its class.

We paid $14K extra to go with the Infiniti QX56 instead of Nissan Armada because of the quality issues we read in the consumer reviews. At least Infiniti has provided us with a car while ours has been in service! Issues with the car still remain.

This car really is a great car. It drives well with minimal cabin noise on the freeway. Aggressive looking body that I really like. 17.25 feet long really demands attention. All that size doenst go for nothing, inside it is as if your in a limo. More leg room then you would imagine. Even the third row is comfortable for us big guys (im 6'6). I used to have a GMC Denali and the legroom in the third row is just not the same. The Navigation system is very easy to use, even though I dont use it alot.

Just purchased two months ago. This is a great SUV. We drove them all and price was not a concern. The QX56 has the biggest rear seats, the best ride and the best acceleration for a full size. The styling is very unique and it always turns heads. It works well either going to Home Depot, or out with friends to a nice restaurant. Perfect versatility. This is one solid feeling SUV, it eats up the bumps - smooth as silk, but you aren't afraid to tackle potholes.

We have had our new QX56 for about a month now, and we are so glad that we decided to go with infiniti. We test drove all major full sized SUV's and narrowed it down to the QX56 and Navigator. Both great vehicles, but the QX56 is just that much better in so many areas. We have had no problems at all and I have been listening for the resonance and rattle that some have spoken of to find nothing at this point. If you have any doubts about this car and are on the fence then take my advice...get it now and you will be very happy that you did. I was hesitant at first with it being the 1st year out, but in hindsight it is the best car we have owned.

Did extensive research. Test drove(literally)all of the competition. None compared to this outstanding ride. My wife gave her approval(this is the most significant test that any vehicle must pass!!). Stable, smooth, powerful. The sales staff at Austin Infiniti was by far the best I've ever dealt with. This SUV has it all. Leg and head room (I'm 6' 6") are the best. Comfort is second to none. The stereo is crisp, clear and top of the line(the review that claims it's "a letdown" is way off base). This is a 5,600 lb. vehicle. Do you really think that it would get 25 mpg? We're getting almost 16mpg. That's outstanding! Looking forward to the M Class for my wife!!

I love the room in this QX, the performance on it is second to none for a truck its size. Inifiniti's Lease rates for this vehicle are outstanding. This is my 4th Infiniti, so as you can see I do love the Infiniti line, but unfortuantely for whatever reason they don't hold there values well at all. So I suggest to anyone interested in this vehicle to at least look at the Leasing option. This was my first Lease and I was completely satisfied with the terms!

I just got my QX56 nine days ago. For years I had intended to get a QX4, and I was very upset when they discontinued it. I had no intention of going with such an enormous vehicle, but I love Infiniti and wanted to stick with them (my last vehicle was a 1997 I30). Unfortunately, I think the FX's are about the ugliest things on the road, so I was considering going with another manufacturer. I tried the Lincoln Aviator, the Cadillac SRX and the Acura MDX. I didn't love any of them. Then, the QX56 came out, and I had the chance to get another Infiniti that I actually liked! Reading the reviews here helped me make up my mind, and I'm really happy I got it.

I've just purchased my new QX56 in May of 2004 and I think it is the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's luxurious, it's the most comfortable SUV on the market with way too much room. I never worry about my safety with 6 airbags including side airbags. I feel the most safe I've ever felt putting my son in his car seat in the back seat of my infiniti. Thanks infiniti for the rear camera. Your a neck saver.

Very practical, safe car for families. Smooth, luxurious, powerful, comfortable. A few quirks needed repairs: sunroof rollers had been painted, resulting in squealing noise; DVD screen rattles a bit; cruise control didn't work. Stereo system a let-down. VERY happy with sales experience at Miller Van Nuys--bought my QX56 early in the game and did TONS of research and wouldn't be taken advantage of with regards to sales price. Miller (David Marsh in fleet sales) presented best deal of all dealerships in CA and other local states and even beat FleetRate.com

Early review of this monster is mixed. It is probably a poor value, however, it is ultra-luxurious, powerful, and fun. Gas mileage is terrible, and if a car salesman tells you it gets 18MPG, I do have several local bridges to sell you. Too early to tell about reliability, but Infiniti really does pamper you, and they actually fix things with a smile. I know several reviewers panned the styling, but with upgraded wheels, the car is absolutely stunning.

Mine came with a wheel package on it, (Someone did it after shipping to dealer) there was no comparison when it sat next to the others had to have it. Just be careful if doing it after market make sure your tire sensors will still be able to read the tire pressure, was told some may not be able to.

We test drove between 10 and 15 SUV's from the Range Rover to the Honda Pilot over a 5 month period, many of them 2-3 times. We also read reviews from Edmunds, the New York Times, and Consumer Reports. Our conculsion was that the QX56 is the best SUV on the market by any measure (including price). We have owned the car for over a month now and have not been disappointed. I look forward to driving it and feel almost refreshed after long trips. We are really surprised by the value you get with this car vs. the Range Rover, Lexus, Land Cruiser, Denali, etc. The QX56 has a great ride and the best features for a very competitive price.

I test drove all the competitors, Lincoln, Lexus, Caddy & Acura before I bought my QX56 and nobody could touch this beauty. It is not only gorgeous, as attested to by the many very nice complements I receive wherever I drive it, by children and adults; but, it has excellent power to boot. I have 2 Sons who I have to haul to baseball, soccer, football and sleep- overs. So far, it does it all. I had to haul 2 large bookcases and many clothes, books and toys and I simply pulled 3 handles to put all the 3 rear seats down and I fit everything in.

After owning a Lexus GX470 any new suv would have to be almost perfect, The QX56 is great. In my opinion it is SLIGHTLY less refined than the lexus, but more powerful and much roomier, it has a luxurious iterior that is modern and comfortable. I think it looks great too. For a huge suv it seems to drive more like a mid size, I also think its much better than all full size rivals.

We've had our QX56 since it hit the market in March and we wouldn't trade it in for the world. We previously owned the Chrysler Pacifica, but after seeing the QX56, there was no comparison. We immediately traded in our 10 month old Pacifica. Infiniti didn' miss a beat in making this truck. By far, the QX56 is the most superior SUV around.

I was used to drive an X-5 (V-8, 4.4). The QX is a truck but is safe, has very nice interiors and is spaceous. Now if it only be a little more sporty (what I mean is horse power and acceleration) it would it be the best out there

Wow, we just bought ours and I have to say, this is an amazing SUV! Infinity did their homework and is going to kill the others in its class. We looked at them all and the QX56 was leaps and bounds above the rest; features, comfort, styling and standard features. If you are looking at a new SUV, go drive one for yourself and you will be sold. Be prepared to spend MSRP. They seem to be in high demand and only a limited number are going to be built each year and of that, only a few are going to be 4WD from what I have been told.

SUVs Best of the Best....QX56

My wife and I test have driven the GMC Denali, Toyota Sequoia, & the Cadillac Escalade. We fell in love with the Denali, well at least until we saw the Infiniti QX56. Good thing we waited for the QX56 to come out before purchaing a Denali (we would have been kicking ourselves in the butt). We saw the inside of the QX56, we knew we had to get this vehicle. We test drove the vehicle and we couldn't believe how nice the handling was. It didn't feel like you're driving a HUGE SUV. It felt more like drving a mid-size SUV. I couldn't believe how much power this vehicle has (V8 315hp 5.6 liter). My wife and I LOVE our new QX.

Great Vehicle!

This is my 5th SUV and 2nd Infiniti - it's by far the best full-sized luxury SUV now on the market! If you remove the headrests from the front seats, move them all the way forward and recline them, they form a long couch with the seats in the 2nd row.(My Infiniti QX4 also did this, and it's a great feature.) The QX56 offers the ultimate in comfort, luxury, space, design, and drive. Better interior than the Escalade, which has a dated dash and no back-up camera. Better seat configuration and legroom than the competitors. Also, Infiniti's service is great, and their warranty is a bit longer than that of their competitors.

Wonderful Vehicle

I have only had the QX56 a week, but it is without a doubt the most complete vehicle I have ever owned. I drove all the competitiors (Escalade, Navigator, SRX) and it puts them to shame. Love the power and the ride. I thought my Sequoia drove and road pretty good, but this vehicle is so much better. It "drives" a lot smaller than it is.

Really love my QX.....! Exterior and interior are very nice and also comfortable. Both functional and easy on the eye. As per any large vehicle mileage isn't so great but my last car only got about 17 miles per gallon so 14 from the truck isn't so bad. Only issue I have is a little ear pressure when driving with windows all closed.

What a great SUV

Have never owned an Infiniti, outstanding SUV, aside from some problems with the dealer, and wishing the color really was Cobalt blue, the body shops say it is actually deep sea metallic blue,it has really been impressive

HAPPY

Got one a couple of days ago. Previously owned BMW X5 but was looking for something bigger and still fun to drive. Test drove both Escalade and Qx56 and chose QX56 because of superior handling, fresher interior and newer exterior image.

Infiniti QX56--- absolutely awesome!

Was looking at BMW X5, Hummer, Escalade, and Q56. After driving other 3, I went to Infiniti dealership. Looks of this vehicle on the web cannot compare with the awesome looks of it in real life. Phenomenal luxury with brute good looks. My wife was overwhelmed with the features, looks and performance. Obviously, it's new, so we'll have to see how it holds up. It's an Infiniti, so we're expecting a lot in reliability. Makes Escalade look sick in comparison.

I have been driving it for a week and hope to have it as long as my last vehicle (e-250) 14 years. This SUV is the best this world has to offer in my opinion. It has the combination of options that I was looking for in an SUV not availible in any of the others.

Love It!

Just bought the QX56 and I love it. Terrific design characteristics and very roomy inside. Have yet to see many on the road so that makes it more appealing. Looks like a big SUV but drives like a smaller vehicle.

QX56 Puts the Rest to Shame

I just picked up my new QX56 2 days ago and it is amother of a SUV. I had the FX45 and when I saw the QX online I knew that I had to have it. I have the third one in the Northern Virginia area and the first in Tuscan pearl. It is so pretty. It is soooooooooooo smooth for a large SUV. I got every option that the truck came with and I am loving every moment of it. I will say that infiniti is awesome when it comes to technology. Puts the Lincolns, Cadi's, Ranges to shame.

The QX56 may be the best SUV on the road right now. Its big (the FX looks like a little kid next to it), its powerful, and it has all the luxury items that are expected of the Infiniti name. Traded in my 02 Escalade for it and never looked back.

I think that the "Big Three" should be worried. This is one "Big" but fun SUV. It is not only beautiful on the inside but also attrative on the outside. Caddy may be nice on the outside but its still "trucky" on the inside. Navigator better look in its rear view miror...something is about to over take it. Its called the Infinity QX56.

Greate value, fun to drive, exelent turning radius. Power?... a lot of it. Family loves it, complements from my neighbors. Took it for a short trip to Santa Barbara very impressed with freeway handling and quiet ride, kids enjoyed "on board" movie. Overall better value then our 2001 Escalade.

great
