I bought this big SUV days ago and it is the best car I ever had. The comfort, technology, engine response and features are way ahead any other SUV at this moment. The new features on the 08 model are exactly the ones I expected and the reason why I never bought a QX before. My previous car was an FX35 which I loved too, but it was kind of small for my family. I highly recommend this vehicle for a test drive, I am sure you won't be disappointed. The ride is much better than the previous version with the improved tire quality (Michelin) and 20" rims. The traffic feature helps you to avoid congested areas and is easy to use. The downside is fuel economy.
Nice SUV

We've only had the QX56 for a week but so far we really enjoy it. Gas mileage is about 13.8mpg with hwy/city combined. Kids love the dvd player in the back, ride is soft but responsive, engine has lots of power.

Have owned them all. Landcruiser, Suburban, LX 560. Infinti is supposedly great build quality. This could be the worst car I have ever owned. Great features which supports why we bought it but the finish quality is horrific not to mention the ride quality. If i were at it again, sacrifice the captains chairs in the second row and consider a on year old Lexus or land cruiser. Even Cadillac would be better. Inf/Nissan can't build large SUV or trucks to save their lives

I purchased a 2008 Infiniti QX 56 in July 2024. It had one owner and only had 76,650 miles on it. Not bad for a 16 year old SUV. For the most part, it has been a good vehicle. I’ll start with the cons because I believe in giving the bad news first. The car has air shocks so it tends to be pretty bouncy. It does not like potholes. Be careful on curvy roads. In Tennessee for some reason they like to put manhole covers and other little covers in the road where your tires run over them and they tend to be about an inch above the road so it’s a hard hit. I’m not used to that cause I’m from a state where they put it in the center where the double yellow lines are so that your tires don’t hit them. I did get it checked out for the bounciness. I was told that the car has air shocks and that is normal for the vehicle so note to save don’t buy another vehicle with air shocks (well maybe another QX56). Parts and maintenance is pricey on it because they always say it’s an Infiniti, even though it is technically it’s an Armada. Mine looks exactly like all the other armadas I see in my community. I don’t know about the brakes issue because when I bought mine, it needed brakes and rotors so I replaced them the next day after I bought it. I’ll find out in a year. The dash does sit high and if you are a shorter person like me and my daughter you might wanna get a seat cushion that sits you a little higher. Also, the hood is higher, so your view is somewhat limited. This vehicle is definitely made for taller people. It does not have front sonar, but it does on the back. I personally think it should have it all the way around because of the size of it. I@I do have to lock the doors because it doesn’t automatically lock or unlock. It may be it’s not on that setting. I’m gonna have to check the owners manual. When is on auto four-wheel-drive I find it’s harder to make turns so I tend to keep it on rear wheel drive. But it’s fantastic for rain. I don’t like that. It doesn’t have daytime running lights because I had a 08 equinox that had it. I hate the halogen lights so I’m switching it over the LEDs. Now for the pros, it has a smooth ride. It has the power when I need it and honestly, I don’t use it that much because the car is a gas guzzler. I like that it has leather seats because the previous owner had dogs and cats that they let them run all over the vehicle so it made it easier for me to clean it up. It does have light colored carpet which I’m not crazy about because they left stains behind from chocolate milk and I’m still trying to get all the stains out. Some car on those are just complete pigs. I can’t comment on the DVD player because the previous owners took it with them. I do love all the storage in the car. I love the third row seating, even though I don’t use it that much because I have two adult kids, and I rarely have my grandkids with me. I love all the lights around it because at night it illuminates well at night. I do love that you could set the lighting on timer. I love the sunroof, even though I never opened it because allergies are very severe and middle Tennessee. Guard I love the voice recognition I love the Bluetooth, even though it only works for phone calls. It does not work for playing music. You have to use an aux cord. I love the roominess and I can seat 7 people comfortably. 8 would be pushing it. I love that it has a towing package, even though I will probably never tow anything. I honestly can’t think of anything else, but if I do and it allows me to update it, I will definitely put it down.

I got the new '08 QX56 as soon as it came out, I have about 500 miles on the car, I was waiting b/c improvements are so great over the '07. I traded in an Odyssey van. While the QX is true luxury, I have to say the Odyssey handles more smoothly on the road. I love the interior of the QX as well as all of the bells/whistles re: technology. I've only figured out about 60% of the features. In addition to the roughness on the road, I was also surprised by the engine noise/vibration under driver's seat while accelerating; I suppose that's due to the huge engine size.
