Used 2015 INFINITI QX60 SUV Consumer Reviews
It's a people-hauler, not a sports car
Bought it used at 20k miles, now more like 50k (several long roadies this year with the kids, typically I drive more like 12k/yr). I've read about peoples' issues with the screen, seats, etc., but have not experienced any of that. I did a lot of comparison shopping before buying. I looked at the MDX (smaller, less cargo, feels cheaper inside to me - and, I don't care about a "sporty" crossover), the Q7 (also smaller feeling to me - I'm 6'3", 3 bills, picture your favorite NFL center, was a little nicer inside but also more $, and I read a by lot of poor reliability reviews on the Audi, so it was out), and the BMW X5 (smaller, just generically didn't like the way it looked or felt, again for more $). In the end, the Infiniti was larger, smoother, more comfortable (my family of four has done 15 hours of roadie in it with our gear, and it was a breeze, very comfortable), well appointed (although I'm still figuring out the need to adjust the angle of the headlights, that seems a little bit overkill), gas mileage is decent (I tend towards ~19 in town/commuting, more like ~29-30 on the highway), and I do wish Nissan would get their tech act together, but that's not a show-stopper for me. So in the end it's a very competent people-hauler, feels good, looks good, plenty of room, and in this bracket of vehicle it was by comparison cheap. I would acknowledge that I haven't experienced any of the electrical or build problems you may see in other reviews, though - if I had, I might not be so happy.

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!

I bought a CPO Infiniti...mistake.
I bought a 2015 COP QX60 with around 25k miles. Around 37k the fan went out. At 1st Infiniti said it wasn't covered. I went round & round with their consumer service and they finally agreed to cover it. Now around 75k the CVT transmission is having issues. As I did some research it turns out that Nissan/Infinity settled a class action law suite due to ongoing issues with their CVT transmission. It appears this is a major known issue with these. I bought a COP Infiniti because I was tired of dealing with mechanical issues and premature failures on vehicles. I thought buying a CPO "higher line" vehicle would be worth the extra money. Guess again. Never buying a Nissan or Infiniti product again.
