To many rattles

This suv has an overhead console that does nothing but rattle. The noise is so intense that I can not enjoy the true fun of driving this vehicle. In addition the drivers seat offers very little support,it seems to cavein rather than support.Since I took ownership I have had to have the rotors cut on three different occasions. In short, as for quality, this vehicle leaves a lot to be desired.

I had not planed to buy a new car this year, but with a little free time on my hands, I began to compare SUV's. I drove them all, every one. I was so impressed with the Infinity Q56 and the soft sell of the representative the cleanliness and order of the dealer. Before I knew it I had made a purchase , and I have not been displeased

I tried every large SUV on the market to take advantage of the SUV tax break. I really wanted a Lexus but there was just something about the Lexus that seemed like it was 5 years behiond the times, even the GX. Someone told me to try the Infinity Q56. It's a luxury liner. All the luxury and comfort of a Lexus and then some, and then the brute power to pull anything and go pretty much anywhere.

The QX 56 has taken us by surprise. We previously had suburbans and lincolns and this vehicle beats both hands down.It lacks the rear space of the suburban, but has enough room. The smoothness, handly and quality are above and beyond what we expected. great car for the price. We looked at Sequioas and the interior space was not as nice as the infiniti. A great family SUV. Highly recommended.

Vehicle is excellent. Very smooth on the road and very responsive around town. Really like the rear back-up camera. It is something all cars should have. Around town gas mileage is a little slim, but road milage is fine. Liked the way the rear two rows of seats fold away. Having owned three Lexuses before this purchase, I'm very impressed with Infiniti. This car is bigger than the Lexus 470 and is better quality than the Cadillac Escalade

INFINITI HITS A HOME RUN

When I first saw the QX56, I had a 1 year old Tahoe Z71 which I couldnt wait to get rid of. The Chevy was a headache from day 1. The Chevy needed repairs so many times, the service manager & I became best friends. Finally dumped the lousy Chevy for a QX56. Couldnt be happier! $45K for the Chevy. $48K fully loaded for the QX56 and the difference in the Infititi's quality, fit & finish is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Chevy. Best was the QX has more power, towing, options & feels like a truck that will last. The QX56 has it all & puts away the competition for the price. I checked the Escalade & was $15K more than the QX56 with the same options. Escalade is a dressed up (YUK)Tahoe! QX56 ROCKS!!

The QX56 is fine

I read some mixed reviews before going to the dealership and test driving the QX56 for myself. Funny how the Nissan Armada gets consistently high reviews and the QX gets a hard time from the MSN car reviewer expert when the QX and Armada are sisters with the same engine and body but the QX has a quieter ride with all the luxury carpet and leather. Plus, the QX costs 10-25K less than other luxury competetion. It is most comfortable and has awesome power w/the best towing capability of any SUV. Love the interior and styling is fine, much better than the square SUVs that look so generic regardless of what badge is stuck on them.

Having lived in Chicago for most of my life, I was thrilled with the promise of milder winters. Memphians love to bragg about their lack of winter-like weather, and I was more than willing to experience this first-hand. Chicago can be brutal. Even so, knowing that owning a powerful Suv equipped to handle the worst road conditions was not necessary here in the sunny south, it was love at first site. My first road trip was to Florida, and she performed beautifully. So what if she never had to prove herself in two feet of snow. Well, God decided to answer some ones prayer for a white Christmas in Memphis. Two days before, it started out with sleety rain that soon turned in

Bought this car for my wife and we have both loved it. Looked at the Escalade, Denali, Land Cruiser, etc. and picked the QX45. Interior is very roomy and can actually fit 8 adults (although getting into the back seat takes a little work). The car has quite a bit of power and rides smoothly. Great in dash 6 disk changer and sound system. Definitely a family car as it is a big vehicle.
