2 Day Drive to the Mountains
Rented this car for a 2 day mountain trip. When I first stepped into the car, the traction control off light was on. The car also shifts really weird in Auto, 4H or 4L modes. It either jerks you right off your seat when you step on it or shifts too quickly to where you can feel the automatic transmission shifting 5x in one second. Brakes were also difficult to control as the downshifting also made the car jerk as it is slowing down. Car reached 5200rpm at 72 mph, with a redline at about 6200rpm, which made me afraid to push the car any harder as I was afraid it might blow up at a higher speed. This big SUV also loves to guzzle gas and we were down to a quarter of a tank after 2.5 hr drive. The visibility to the outside was good and it was comfortable for passengers not in the back row, but the interior was kind of small considering the huge size of the car. Barely able to fit 6 adults with luggage. HVAC is finickly and seems to be "hunting" the correct setpoint temperature as you get frequent waves of hot air followed by cold air without touching the controls.

Does not hold Value
We bought a 2016 QX80 loaded as possible just below the Limited version, price range around 80,000 - 90,000. In less than 1 year the vehicle is now worth 40,000-50,000. Infiniti's large SUV does not hold their value. We were sold on it being an elite luxury vehicle, very fast realized it does not hold a candle to our prior SUV. We regret buying this vehicle and feel stuck because how fast it is losing money. 1 yr update, still stuck because how far upside down we are.
QX80 INFINITH
It is a nice looking vehicle in and out. Took alot of investigating finaally after several service appts and more costs some of the roughness improved. Love the vehicle.
very disappointed - reliability is not good.
I owned three Nissan Armadas and liked them. My wife got an Infiniti 60 and was happy. I thought I would step up with a little nicer finish. What a mistake. the 2018 Infiniti QX80 has had several problems. For example, while driving down the road a piece of windshield trim starts flapping on the side of the car. When I talk to Infiniti they responded "it might be under warranty, but I need to drive it 1 1/2 to inspect and possibly order the trim. Then bring it back to fix. The car is less then a year old. They don't allow Nissan dealers to work on the vehicle. I understand the distance issue is my problem, but I have had three issues and have given up on even considering a warranty repair. Very disappointing and I will not be buying Infiniti in the future. I will say the Armadas were great vehicles.
