Review

I just bought this vehicle used. It is amazing. It has plenty of power. The 4 wheel drive is really good. I love the auto feature. about the mileage, what do you expect. Its a truck based SUV 4X$, not some whimpy hybrid or sedan based SUV.

Favorite Features

Climate controll, 6 disc changer, 4X4 system, xenon lights, big cup holder.

Suggested Improvements

The bose system needs some work, It sounds amazing with CDs, but it is horrible with the radio.

Great suv

Review

For the price, you can't beat this SUV. If you're looking for a practical on-road SUV that drives like a car, look no further. Auto-4wd makes it useful at city driving like AWD, but also has the benefits of 4wd off- roading.

Favorite Features

Can handle any weather situation with ease.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the Bridgestone Dueler HT 689 tires. Just by changing tires, car handles much better (Hankook RH06 275/60R17) in dry, rain, snow. Also, less road noise. Some body sway, I fixed that with a anti-sway bar. VQ35DE is a great engine, but 15mpg?

Review

Bought it used (3 years old) and only had 30K miles (still on factory warranty). I've had it 5 months and couldn't be happier with the purchase. Outperforms (by leaps and bounds) brand new suv's on the market today in the same price range this car goes for used now; $25K-ish. Fast, handles great for a 4000+ pound SUV, the ride quality is excellent, luxurious, comfortable, a K&N freeflow intake and removal of rear muffler really make it sound like a 350Z! Can't beat the Nissan build quality. Would highly recommend this used vehicle for those looking at new or slightly used midsize SUV's.

Favorite Features

Elegant interior style, powerful 350Z derived engine (accelerates better than most cars), xenon headlights, heated rear-view mirrors, rear seat recline, front leather buckets, 6-disc in dash CD player, great BOSE speaker system, memory entry seating, auto 4WD mode, did I mention awesome engine?!?

Suggested Improvements

needs standard limited slip - mine came without, steering wheel shimmey on highway disconcerting (although apparently common on QX4's/Pathfinders), in-car outside temp guage inaccurate, digital compass only works when it feels like it, gets between 17-18 MPG mostly highway driving - could be better.

Should've Bought a bimmer or a Benz

Review

I'm the second owner of the vehicle, I bought it with 41k, I had replaced the following under warranty : transmission solenoid kit, both side ball joints,both side outer CV boots,left strut bar,driver seat heated seat switch, viscous coupler (noise from fan),the whole audio system (CD, radio and cassette), driver seat motor and seat track assembly(driver seat rocking when moving back and forth),cigarrette lighter. Currently I'm out of warranty and have these problems : Air intake solenoid needs to be replaced (the car pulls hard),and my biggest disappointment is that,the rear right side is sitting higher than the left side,the dealer says it's within vehicle specs (RL:815mm,RR:825mm)

Favorite Features

The interior design and the exterior look, eyecatcher and costs less than it's looks. The luxury touches in the interior and the quality of materials used.

Enjoying my QX4

Review

So far I have enjoyed my QX4. It has all luxury that you could ever need. I especially appreciate the in dash 6 disc changer. The look and feel is wonderful. It handles better than most SUV's I've driven, not to mention the comfort. Even though its four years old now it steel turns head everywhere I go. I love it. I think it was the best vehicle purchase for me.

Favorite Features

in dash 6 disc change wood grain steering wheel Aluminum Alloy wheels the soft leather interior

Review

As the time of purchase, this was the best mid-size SUV I have tested in terms of power, features, engine design, exterior design and off-road capability. Purchased this SUV as a third vehicle for weekend use on occasional off-road trail and this vehicle perform as expected. I planned to keep this a long time and give this SUV to my son one day.

Favorite Features

manual adjustable xenon headlights, truck based body frame, interior and exterior design, low gears, limited slip and in-dash cd changer.

Suggested Improvements

Need rear disc brake and adjustable height suspension to at least 10" ground clearance. After that, it's perfect.

Review

I had been test driving mostly Pathfinder LE's & 4Runner Limited's. This infinity blows both away. More HP than the 4Runner & far more luxury than the Pathfinder. Mine doesn't have 4wd or navigation, so it was priced barely more than the Pathfinder and was actually less than the 4Runner. Tough, yet refined and stylish. This is a car I love having in the driveway!

Favorite Features

The little signature series infinity clock in the dash. Heated leather seats. 6 CD in dash Bose system. Power everything! Exterior styling.

Suggested Improvements

I wasn't big on the rims at first, but they look good on Black or Silver models. For just a 6cyl, the mpg is poor.

Review

As I have previously owned sedans, I find the purchase of this vehicle the best choice that I could have made. The ride is that of a sedan but with more safety. It is an eyecatcher.It has giddy-up! Many creature comforts. I love the navigation system.

Favorite Features

The navigation system/stereo/ ther esponsiveness of the engine. Reliability.STYLE!!!

Suggested Improvements

Gas milege would be an improvement.Dual climate control.

QX4 to keep

Review

Loved it since the time I got it. I can't understand why it gets overlooked so much but I'm also glad that there isn't a ton of them out there as with other brands of SUVs. I've driven the Pathfinder and while it's a great vehicle, it's a totally different feel as well as a common SUV on the road.

Favorite Features

Engine power,comfort is great,stereo 6 disc changer standard,nice layout and presentation

Review

Initially rode like a luxury vehicle should but as the miles accumulated, it is similar in ride to the Pathfinder, more like a truck. Has a similar shimmy when braking and on the highway that was a problem with my previous Pathfinder.

Favorite Features

Quality interior and build. Service is good except the distance to find a dealer to work on it is over 100 miles away.

Suggested Improvements

Needs more power
