  • Too many problems - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    This could be a great car, but when you pay $55k for a luxury auto and then have the rattles, shakes, and bad brakes it doesnt matter how nice everything else is. I thought it would be worked out for 2005. Now I am suffering along with the 2004 owners. I wish I had never purchased this vehicle. It has taken a lot of time and energy to get Infiniti to make the fixes on this thing and it is still not better. I would rather be driving a common Tahoe or Sequoia. I may look good on the outside but I am too embarrassed to have friends, coworkers, clients etc ride in it. If you really want one, I advise to wait a few years and then reevaluate very conservatively or buy a 2004 for cheap.

  • The Fortress - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I bought this vehicle last year and I love it. Sure the gas mileage isnt that great, but if you spend that much money on a vehicle and all you do is worry about the gas mileage then maybe you shouldnt buy one. The power is unbelievable for an SUV of this size. I highly recommend the QX56.

  • Rattle and shaking NOT a luxury at all ! - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Since I bought this car it has been a house of pain Rattling is so bad you can never imagine. It has been to dealership 4 times still NO FIX. Dealer is a nice team but they cannot rebuild the whole car. Now less than a year new AC broke, Breaks are gone, Back spoiler broke and flew on Highway If you love engine, wait til it starts giving you a hissing snake noise. DVD/TV interrupt with Audio. Remote on TV does not work. I have lost my patience and ***PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT NO Matter which couple of things you may like in this vehicle **** OR wait till Infinity fixes it all Do not be impressed by NEW Buyers Comments, They do not know what they got into..

    we purchased this un tested piece of junk in july 2004, the dealership was very accomodating, but the car has been in the shop 4 times for the back up sensor , twice the front brakes had to be changed within 10,000 miles, the front end bottoms out on the wheel wells, "twice to repair that" the car has been in the shop on 10 different occasions, for a total of 31 days, infinity doesnt want to know any thing " the clowns in california not the dealer" stick to american send this scrap metal back to japan where it belongs

  • Fun to drive - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    We now have 6500 miles on this vehicle, although we have to stop more often for gas, I wouldnt trade this vehicle for any that I have purchased in the past. Since 1969 I have purchased at least 28 new vehicles, not including motorcycles and some trucks. Fun to drive, very quiet, excellent radio. Dont like where the clock is, but who cares about the time when you are driving this unit.

  • Good Value - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Great car to have. I have switched from FX45 to the Q56. The only set back is the Quality of the material used in the interior!! i wish if it was like the lexus! Performance is great!!! i cant wait fo the after market parts!! 0-60 is faster that the Range Rover and the X5 4.4!!! I would recommend this car for every one!!

  • Best for the $$$$ - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    After shopping All SUVs this was the on for me. I have owned the Mercedes ML, and the Lincoln Navigator, for interior plushness and utility this QX56 is far superior. The easy tumble mid seats and the fold flat rear third row is better than the Escalade. You can remove the mid-seat console for even more ease to the third row.

  • What a wonderful Truck - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Most of the time, the QX56 has felt very smooth on the road and has been extremely comfortable on long hauls to Mammoth. Comfort is great, but still a body on frame truck. Roomy all around. Great 2nd row - limo- like room. Same height and width, but the extra 8" length over the Yukon are surprisingly noticeable. The kids love it room for them, friends, and groceries. Tows like a champ, very comfortable on long trips. The 4wd system is great. No problems in 4 feet of snow or in light off-roading. Having a 4x4 lo range also sold us on this beast. After one year and 20k miles we are very happy. Currently 95k and counting.

  • So far Soo Good!! - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    We loved this vehicle from the first test drive. Rented a 2004 for extended test drive and it was terrible!! Brakes felt like we were driving on cobblestones. Took a chance and bought a 2005. We love it and have not had any problems. No other large SUV handles like this. Beats my Q45!!

  • Luxury AND Excellent Customer Service - 2005 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    This is a beautiful and luxurious SUV that fits the needs of a large family without compromising on style or luxury. Infinitis customer service is bar NONE. You will LOVE this car!
