Used 2015 INFINITI QX60 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
For all with a new infiniti qx60, I say JUST WAIT!
I love my Infiniti. What I do not love is the CVT transmission. I bought the car (LOADED by the way) in April 2015. We have certainly had our issues along the way, but BY FAR, the biggest issue is the CVT transmission. It started after we had a transfer case FAILURE, but I won't go into the story. My car started to have a vibration around 30/40 MPH when trying to stay at a constant speed. If you do a lot of local driving like I do, you are in this constant speed mode a lot. The dealership says they cannot 'replicate' the problem. It gets worse, and since I drive a lot, I am in the dealer about once a month for an oil change. EVERY MONTH I complain. Every month, they cannot replicate it. The last time in, I was set to leave it for life. They got the service manager and he drove it with me in the car. He told me that he would contact their area rep and he would come sometime later in the month (August) and we would all go out for a drive, but that his opinion is the 'definitive' opinion. In other words, he would come out and tell me they cannot replicate it. So August has come and gone. My husband called the service manager three times and has not had the courtesy of a return call. So we have been doing research. This CVT engine has been a real problem for Nissan. There is a class action suit for the earlier version CVT . I think they may have changed some part of the CVT, but I am now deathly afraid to put my children in this car. Did I mention I have 65K miles...yes, I drive a lot and we travel. There is a rumor the new 2018 will have a different transmission. I have been reading online how Nissan North America is not at all helpful. As I said, love the car, but I cannot safely live with this transmission. If I hear 'replicate' one more time, I will scream. They use it for everything. I had a noise in the fan area for ac/heat. Can't replicate. MY HUSBAND took it in THE NEXT WEEK, and all of a sudden, there was a new something needed. My service advisor told me that Nissan doesn't care about customers, they just want to make a profit. How about that?

A TOP SUV CONTENDER !!!
i've been reading up extensively on this suv and it seemed a little too good to be true. But now that i am an owner, i am a believer !! A very well built vehicle all around. The exterior is stylish as well as the interior. Great ride quality !! Comes with 3rd row seat, which when folded down give more than adequate cargo space. Comes loaded with technology inside and out. From headlights, to sound system, to automatic open and lift trunk gate, to back up camera and blind spot warning technology. It all equals a great buy and great driver experience.

Best choice in this category!
If you want a roomy, stylish, reliable, comfortable luxury SUV then this should be strongly considered. When we compared the QX60 to everything else it was an easy decision. No other choice gave us all of the above at this price point - and the lease deal on the 2015 model, after negotiation, was very reasonable. While I'd still choose this car again, there are(and maybe have been already) needed improvements. The front seats seem too hard for long hauls and you feel it! There is a very suttle engine vibration which I noticed the 2016 model had improved engine mounts to address. Other than that it is mostly solid. You can get much better mileage by paying attention to the driving modes - sport for around town and climbing and standard or economy for cruising. This car will get up and go if you ask it so I disagree with the critics regarding sluggish acceleration. It handles very well considering the size with decent steering and braking. It is very quiet at speed and mostly a smooth ride. Had a 2012 FX35 prior and it was just way to stiff and uncomfortable for most driving conditions. The Qx60 is a much softer ride!

eyes wide open before buying
I bought this car because of the high reviews. Here is a real life review. I never do these type reviews but I am so annoyed with fake reviews. Pro - fun to drive, love the 360 degree camera, makes parking a snap, great MPG, comfortable seats, lots of trunk space. Con - most unreliable car i have own since my camaro in the 90s. so many things had to be replaced, small and big ticket items. basically a lemon, everything from interior trim falling off to drivetrain needing to be replaced. after the 2nd yr, non stop breakage. loud screeching noise now because engine fan needs to be replaced for 1K. this noise started periodically after a yr but because i didn’t resolve it then no longer under warranty. the noise is intermittent so not easy to diagnose. many other things along the way were covered under warranty. I will never buy an infinity again.

Big Bang for the Buck
It was a great car back in 2015. I say this because of the new 2017 models having a face lift and more HP. it's very comfortable, practical and a functional vehicle for our family of 4. comfy for the kids and for us as well! plenty of cargo space when the 3rd row seats are down, and very spacious when they are in use! Cant wait to upgrade to the newer QX60!
