Powerful V6 engine, Infiniti warranty and service experience, excellent on-road manners, low base price.
Cons
Cramped rear legroom, no third-row seat, not enough differentiation from the plebian Pathfinder.
What’s new
For 2003, QX4 receives packaging enhancements, including the addition of previously optional Premium Package as standard equipment. This includes 17-inch wheels and tires, a leather and genuine wood steering wheel, driver seat memory and steering wheel-mounted audio control switches.
Edmunds says
A capable and luxurious truck. But so is its less expensive Nissan Pathfinder cousin.
Amazing first car to have. Parents bought it for me, I'm just 16 and it is an awesome first car. For being a used car, it is a pretty nice car for a teenager. Car is easy to drive, very mobile, and just the perfect amount of space in the driver's seat and it's easy to see all around you. Car is fast once you get going. It is probably the most comfortable car to drive. The sound system … is incredible. It could be better with more bass but its good. I love the luxury package of the car with wood grain everywhere.
Great SUV for two

2003 INFINITI QX4 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
This is a very good looking sturdy SUV and a great second hand buy. It is basically a luxury Nissan Pathfinder, with an auto (AWD) mode, although the AWD mode is not that effective.
Compared to a Lexus or Acura, the suspension is stiffer and cabin noise is higher.
My biggest regret with this vehicle (which I should have checked when I bought) :
The rear seating is very uncomfortable, … there is hardly any headroom and sits very high. If you plan on using a car seat DO NOT BUY buy this SUV. The passenger door entry is narrow and the seats being high, moving a toddler in and out of the car seat is not a pleasant affair.

2003 INFINITI QX4 Rwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
For several months I dreamed of owning
one of these vehicles and finally the
day came that I got up and got in. I
love my QX4. The interior is beautiful
and the ride is like no other. Being
that it is the last model year of course
I got a great deal, but if you are
seriously looking for a mid-size SUV
this is it. Think Long Term!
QX4 Fanatic. Seeking a Minty one!?

2003 INFINITI QX4 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Great utilitarian value. Upscale interior trim with excellent ergonomics. Had 2001 & have 2003. Maintain, install after market bluetooth unit for smartphones use and streaming then keep pushing til the next low mileage one comes around. 4x4 is superior to modern AWD crossovers. Highly recommended this with services, maintenance updated. Classy, timeless appearance. Can be hand washed … with my eyes closed. Perfect during it's time and STILL contemporary! Front & Rear heated seats.
