  • The QX56 is fine - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I read some mixed reviews before going to the dealership and test driving the QX56 for myself. Funny how the Nissan Armada gets consistently high reviews and the QX gets a hard time from the MSN car reviewer expert when the QX and Armada are sisters with the same engine and body but the QX has a quieter ride with all the luxury carpet and leather. Plus, the QX costs 10-25K less than other luxury competetion. It is most comfortable and has awesome power w/the best towing capability of any SUV. Love the interior and styling is fine, much better than the square SUVs that look so generic regardless of what badge is stuck on them.

  • Wait for the 2006 - 2005 Infiniti QX56

    I believe Infiniti makes a good automobile. I think because of the newness of this vehicle there are a lot of problems that need to be adjusted. I have had 2 blow out tires. Ive had shaking when I apply brakes. (Rotors were recalled in the middle of winter - thats scary) Problems with Heat turning on and off, problem with seat warmer.

  • Ice, Snow, Sleet Cant Stop Me! - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Having lived in Chicago for most of my life, I was thrilled with the promise of milder winters. Memphians love to bragg about their lack of winter-like weather, and I was more than willing to experience this first-hand. Chicago can be brutal. Even so, knowing that owning a powerful Suv equipped to handle the worst road conditions was not necessary here in the sunny south, it was love at first site. My first road trip was to Florida, and she performed beautifully. So what if she never had to prove herself in two feet of snow. Well, God decided to answer some ones prayer for a white Christmas in Memphis. Two days before, it started out with sleety rain that soon turned in

  • DREAM SUV - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle at Inifiniti of Memphis, my hometown and I reside in Arkansas near the Oklahoma border (about 5 hours)and on my trip home, I felt like I was a first class passenger flying in a JET. I have driven several different SUVs and my choice was between this vehicle and the Cadillac Escalade. I must say that the escalade is beautiful on the outside like the Inifiniti, but the inside cannot compare. The Cadillac is not only outdated inside, but has a pimpish image and this is not what I wanted. When you say Infiniti it says class, luxury, technology and performance.

  • Dont buy a QX56!!! - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I bought my QX56 12/04 and it has been in the shop 8 times for rattling from the headliner!! 3 times for brake repairs and I only have 7K miles on this thing!! The dealership is worthless and I am frustrated. Its not fun driving a car that has the most awful squeak/rattle coming from above constantly! Even my 2 small kids and the radio cant drown out that noise! It has also been in for the gear shifter sticking twice. Please think twice about this vehicle....its not worth it!

  • Step up from the more expensive Escalade - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Wonderful vehicle. Technologically superior to our 2002 Escalade (as well as the 2005 we considered). I am a large guy and the interior room is best I have experienced. completely pleased so far.

  • TRIED THEM ALL - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I tried every large SUV on the market to take advantage of the SUV tax break. I really wanted a Lexus but there was just something about the Lexus that seemed like it was 5 years behiond the times, even the GX. Someone told me to try the Infinity Q56. Its a luxury liner. All the luxury and comfort of a Lexus and then some, and then the brute power to pull anything and go pretty much anywhere.
