Horrible experience with

I will never buy another infiniti again. Purchased Q56 literally 3weeks after purchase the timing chain went bad, the car dealership and the warranty company went back and forth who was going to fix it. It was finally fixed. At 75k miles it went bad for the second time. The warranty company fixed it again. Nothing but problems with the vehicle. The white paint started peeling everywhere. I saw other vehicles had the exact same issues. I had to buy code reader to keep resetting car for it to run. Every year I had to replace to battery. Then after 5years of having the cars with all maintenance being done at dealership the timing gear fails. The dealership said it would cost 20k for new engine. I got rid of the car. smh

I've had my QX56 for about 4 years now (second owner). I love it! Does everything and anything you want it to in comfort and luxury.

Best car we’ve owned!

Not sure what prompted me to write a review now other than we are looking for a car for our 16 year old and am reminded how much we LOVE our QX56! We have owned, Lexus, BMW, Saab, Ford and Honda cars to name a few and the Infinity tops them all. It is the most comfortable car we’ve had and it drives great! I love the style and the sleek interior. It is amazing on road trips and we are often asked to drive. The third row is cramped, but it is very usuable for shorter trips. We have had very few issues with the car over the past 7 years and look forward to buying another Infinity in the future, albeit not for our brand new driver.

This has been the best vehicle we’ve owned. It looks great on the inside and out. The perforated leather is extremely soft and very comfortable. Sunroof and bright xenon headlamps comes standard. It has great visibility; huge side view Mirrors and sits very high up on the road. 400Hp V8 makes it very powerful and surprisingly quick for a vehicle this size. Also at night, the blue and white gauges are really sweet to look at, and the interior has these little led lights that glow on the door handles, floor, and ceiling to shine on the dashboard. Infiniti really covered all the bases. Also has been very reliable for the years I have had it but in case something goes wrong Just get an extended warranty for extra security! 10/10 recommend!

JUST SUPERB...best lrge luxury SUV!

First time owning an infiniti. I tried all the large luxury SUV's (with over a day of driving each prior to my decision). I can honestly say the QX is THE BEST out there, and for the money- its an incredible deal. -Not top heavy like the lexus -Not like driving an unresponsive, boat-like piece of fluff like the escalade/ yukon/ suburban. -Much cheaper than the lrge comparable mercedes SUV and even nicer/sleeker interior -I was nervous- going from a sporty bimmer to this yet, I have never looked back!! If your in the market for a lrge luxury SUV with incredible style, yet one that has enough brawn to pull your boat, or horse trailer or whatever- LOOK NO FURTHER.
