Love the Q56. Has everything we wanted. Plenty of interior room, great design, lots of flexibility, extremely comfortable, handles like a luxury sedan. No buyer's remorse here.

Great style and comfort. I'm impressed with the ride and electronic features such as Nav. and rear video monitor. Very spacious and fun to drive.

Shake, Rattle and Rattle

This car has a great drive train but rides rough, rattles and the wheels vibrate like crazy. The dealership says it was design so tight that you will feel more of the road. If the road is not a good road then you will feel it in the steering wheel. I'm trying to get them to satisfy me but not getting anywhere. This car needs work.

Love the room, and very comfortable; acceleration onto major roadways is surprisingly peppy for this size. Best for long hauls or mainly highway; around town; gas mileage stinks. Best GPS system I've ever used.

Great leg room, but....

We have owned the QX56 for about three weeks. It offers lots of leg room for passengers. I wish the front passenger seat was offered with 10 way adjustments and was a tad bit more comfortable. The storage behind the third row is VERY disappointing. We were forced to place our luggage in the third row, next to our son, on our first long trip. Infiniti should consider splitting the third row bench seat to accomodate luggage and at least one third row passenger. All-in- all, my wife and I prefer the QX56 over all of the other SUV models we tested. If you are looking for 8 passenger room, you should strongly consider this model; however, beware of the limited storage space!!!

We now have 6500 miles on this vehicle, although we have to stop more often for gas, I wouldn't trade this vehicle for any that I have purchased in the past. Since 1969 I have purchased at least 28 new vehicles, not including motorcycles and some trucks. Fun to drive, very quiet, excellent radio. Don't like where the clock is, but who cares about the time when you are driving this unit.

Step up from the more expensive Escalade

Wonderful vehicle. Technologically superior to our 2002 Escalade (as well as the 2005 we considered). I am a large guy and the interior room is best I have experienced. completely pleased so far.

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

Beautiful car with powerful engine. The leather interior cannot measure up to Lexus's although the design is far better.

The instrument panel is very attractive with out effecting the need for being functonal. Instrumentation did not leave me wanting! The comfort of the seats and color co-ordination with the hardwear; first class. they just did'nt miss a beat from the rear view monitor to the navigation system and ever thing in between.I would like to know what if anything they left out. The exterior is a combination of the look of power and style just what i was looking for in an suv. Under the hood total power and acceleration more than I can use.
