  • Greatest SUV Ive ever had!!! - 2004 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Folks, I test drove the following: Lexus 470, mercedes M500 and G500, Range Rovers, Lincolns, Escalade, Hummer H1 and H2, VW Toureg, and QX56. I enjoyed the QX56, Toureg, and H2 in that order. The rest didnt feel right to me. I have had my QX56 for one month and 1100 miles and absolutely love it. I had it at my ranch doing off road chores and the low range was excellent (not offered on some of the luxury boats) I got 18.7 round trip in mileage in the first 1000 will get better as things break in somewhat. For record I have owned a Escalade and two H1s and never again will own another of them.

  • Comfortable ride, even with glitches - 2004 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    This new SUV is a lesson in comfort and style on the inside. But Infiniti is still working out the 1st year glitches. AFter a few months the SUV shook violently every time brakes were applied. The Infiniti service team discovered the QX56 has the same exact brake system as the G35! The brakes are way too small for this heavy truck. Big design flaw. Brakes had to be totally replaced early on, but with the same small system which is doomed to fail again. Overall it is fun to drive, handles remarkably well for such a big SUV and is very comfortable. I just suggest waiting until Infiniti gets the kinks worked out.

  • GREAT VEHICLE - 2004 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Really love my QX.....! Exterior and interior are very nice and also comfortable. Both functional and easy on the eye. As per any large vehicle mileage isnt so great but my last car only got about 17 miles per gallon so 14 from the truck isnt so bad. Only issue I have is a little ear pressure when driving with windows all closed.

  • Best SUV For Your Money! - 2004 Infiniti QX56

    Ive owned the Lincoln Navigator, Ive driven many times the Escalade. My Infiniti is by far the best SUV Ive owned for under $50K. I love it!

  • Still Cant Find What Im Looking For... - 2004 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    After a disappointing Escalade ownership experience, gave the Japanese Mfrs. a try. The QX56 won us over with their features, gizmos, and inventive seats. The test drive did not reveal some immediate issues we discovered on our fist trip: the truck rides hard, even on highway, had to reduce tire pressure to make it acceptable. The road disturbances excite the truck body which resonates the interior with an uncomfortable sound. (shoulda used thicker steel) The overhead console rattled (had replaced). The brakes replaced 3 times - never admitted that they undersized the rotors. Temp. controls are counter-intuitive. Seats are flat w/ little side & head support - Nissan Armadas are better!

  • New Toy - 2004 Infiniti QX56

    Early review of this monster is mixed. It is probably a poor value, however, it is ultra-luxurious, powerful, and fun. Gas mileage is terrible, and if a car salesman tells you it gets 18MPG, I do have several local bridges to sell you. Too early to tell about reliability, but Infiniti really does pamper you, and they actually fix things with a smile. I know several reviewers panned the styling, but with upgraded wheels, the car is absolutely stunning.

  • QX56 - 2004 Infiniti QX56

    Two days ago picked it up. Overall very nice truck. Ride is very comfortable and compliant. It can be little jittery on rough roads, but that is expected from any full size truck built on frame. Interior is very quiet. Seats are soft and comfortable. Rear leg room is amazing(like in limo). Overall I think this truck is great value.

  • Replaced the GX470 - 2004 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I too had a GX470 which I enjoyed alot, but we needed something bigger. This defintely fits the bill. There is lots of room in the front and back. I was *very* impressed with the power and torque of the engine. I also like the ride. Firmer than the Lexus, even in their "sporty" mode. Since I purchased this vehicle, there have been lots of folks in our parking lot at work, checking it out... Eye Popping for sure. I am really looking forward to taking this on a long trip.

  • QX-56 Fun - 2004 Infiniti QX56

    Great quality. Unique vehicle that gets great looks on the street and around the block. Great to drive, and great features explained in the next segment.
