Infiniti QX4: Real World MPG

    My 2001 QX4 with 314,000 has gotten as high as 24 mpg in the mountains of Colorado with unoxygenated fuel and as low as 13 in Denver with oxygenated fuel. Right now in mostly city driving its about 15. It's nice to be able to use regular unleaded gas.

    Either an Infinity Dealer shop or a Stereo installation guy can get it done for you. They should have a couple small thin bars to pull out the vent unit with the clock then access to the light bulb behind the clock.

    Hey, You don't need a repair manual. Do you need to just replace the antenna mast or the whole unit? I had to replace my mast a few years ago and bought from these guys - http://antennamastsrus.com/Infiniti/QX4/Infiniti%20QX4%201997-2003.htm Their site also provides links with instructions on how to do the replacement. It was pretty easy. I know they also sell complete units but have no experience with those. Good luck!

    I have a 2001 4x4 QX4 and like it a lot. I bought mine from Kelly Infiniti, up in Danvers. Ask for Rich Decker(good guy). There's also Herb Chambers Infiniti down in Boston and another dealership in Norwood. I believe all of the locations have QX4s in stock. The QX4 doesn't have a third seat option.

    Just purchased a 2001 QX4 a few days ago, with everything except: Entertainment System, Navigator, towing and two-Tone paint for $34,500. I thought it was a good deal, about 400-500 dollars under invoice. Edmund invoice was about $34,990. Was it a good deal? I test drove the car twice and my wife like it very much. The car has about 20 test miles when we bought it. I live in Rochester, ... Read More

    I guess I tend to gravitate towards the "performance look". I like the perforated leather (it's cooler too), and I feel that the amount of plastic wood in the PF is just enough. If it was real, then it would be a different story. I like the white faced gauges better, but maybe that is because I am used to them having had a 99 Maxima SE and currently my other ... Read More

I think path01 nailed the other significant differences except for the fact the QX4 has a more uptown interior trim level. The QX4 was more quiet (on back to back testing), but I didn't find the difference ... Read More

    Beyond the comments from mvargo1, you may also want to consider the safety aspects of the SUV. Check out www.nhtsa.gov for crash test. I have a 2000 QX4 for over a year. Other than the horsepower (fixed during 2001) and mileage, the vehicle has had no problems and perfect in every way. The Infiniti Lemon appears to be an anomaly. Everyone else loves their Pathfinder/QX4. Good luck!

Slight vibration in the driver's side mirror (not passenger side) is a known weakness in the PF/QX4 mirror design.
