Upgrade from the Sequoia - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By mike101 - October 21 - 10:00 amWe traded our 2002 Sequoia in for the QX56. It is definitely a step up in power and luxury. It seems to be a better value than the Lexus and the Escalade.

My First Foreign auto. - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By Tony Barcellona - August 20 - 9:00 amI love my QX56. I compared Escalde, Denali, Lexus, Toyota, Armada and others. The QX56 was by for the best equipped, best warranty and the best value at $50,000. I will trade it in for another QX56 in 2008 no matter what the price gas goes to.

Probably the top dog for large SUVs - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By FatDog - April 21 - 2:00 amI bought a full-loaded QX56 with rear camera and DVD entertainment system. I still think its probably the best large SUV between $50K-60K. Its definitely much better than its American competitors (i.e., Escalade and Navigator). I like the exterior, very "pimpy" but not too obnoxious. The interior, however, is not as sophisticate as I would like it to be. The interior needs another round of makeover to make it superior than Nissan Armada. Otherwise, I am fairly happy with my purchase.

Our new Q56 - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By Jeffrey Warnken - August 9 - 10:00 amMy wife and I have owned 3 surburbans, so we decided to step up into a differnt design. We have enjoyed this suv as much as the surburbans. There is a lot more leg room in the middle row and third row of seats. you do give up storage space. Overall I would rate this and recommend the suv to everyone.

Comfortable ride, even with glitches - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By Payson - January 20 - 1:36 amThis 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.

Still Cant Find What Im Looking For... - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By Mark Z. - November 10 - 11:36 amAfter 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
By LaurenceSchiff - October 14 - 10:00 amEarly 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.

Great car but some disappointments - 2004 Infiniti QX56
By H.H. - December 13 - 10:00 amVery practical, safe car for families. Smooth, luxurious, powerful, comfortable. A few quirks needed repairs: sunroof rollers had been painted, resulting in squealing noise; DVD screen rattles a bit; cruise control didnt work. Stereo system a let-down. VERY happy with sales experience at Miller Van Nuys--bought my QX56 early in the game and did TONS of research and wouldnt be taken advantage of with regards to sales price. Miller (David Marsh in fleet sales) presented best deal of all dealerships in CA and other local states and even beat FleetRate.com
