My experience
Fun little rig to drive. The MPG is a tad low but the pep somewhat compensates for it. I bought it with 90K on it and for the most part it is in new condition. My biggest complaint is with the Bose/Clarion 6 CD/Cassette stereo. I had the car 4 months and got what is known as the dreaded err 2 message on the CD screen. With a bit of investigation I found this is a very common problem. This problem is peculiar to the 2001 model. There is a plastic gear in the CD changer that strips out. I have read of dealer quotes to $500 to fix this.
A Truly Capable Luxo Sport Ute
As it is based off of the Nissan Pathfinder, 4-Wheeler magazine's 4- wheeler of the year, the QX4 loves to be off road. The QX4 is a great choice if you want a truly capable premium sport utility. It includes a 4-low transmission setting, limited slip differential, uniframe construction and 5000 lb. towing capacity. Consumer Reports named this the most reliable vehicle of all cars trucks and SUVs. If you want a true sport utility with the amenities of a luxury brand this is a good choice. If you want a car with big tires see your Lexus dealer.

lots of Issues
I had so many problems with this car(s), I even had 2 of these, got rid of one and got another, same bunch of issues, Tranny has issues! only 75k on it. new trans, new alternator, new pullys, new rotors, strut, replaced turn signal stick, muffler pipes broke, brakes awful, radio replaced, windows are slow, IF you're gonna buy this, only get the 2003, maybe they worked out some of the issues. had to do a lemon law case on it. beware
I won't buy another Infiniti
It is very hard for a short person to get in and out of this vehicle. The running boards are useless, they are too high. The radio display is extremely hard to see and impossible to read when driving. The rear wheel wells are in the way of the door opening. The gas mileage needs much improvement. The "tilting" steering wheel hardly tilts. The headlights have very little difference between high beams and low beams.
Madame Q
The Q is a pretty comfortable vehicle that's perfect for cruising. It's an excellently capable vehicle and supremely comfortable. It doesn't like to be pushed, however. Corners bring out lots of body roll and the vehicle just generally don't like being forced to move at anything other than a normal pace. It's almost as if the car gets offended at your attempts to make it hurry- the engine roars, the body leans & bobs, the car just generally acts mulish. An X5 this car is not, but that said, for what it is, it's extremely comfortable and capable.
