  • Great technology and comfortable but lacking a heart... - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    Have spent a great deal of time behind the wheel of JX in comparison to Audi Q7. First off, hands down the JX has better technology (love the BCI!) than the Q7, and much move functional 3rd row. The JX is a great alternative to a mini-van if dont want that look, need the 3rd row and dont want the heft and size of a Armada/Yukon XL/QX56 type. From this perspecive it is much better than Q7. With that being said here is why I feel the JX falls waaaay short of the Q7. First, the JX feels sluggish and the CVT transmission never seems comfortable in gear. Takes alot of patience to get going. Second, Infinitis packaging is bizarre. Why do I have to get the theater package to get 20" wheels?

  • Very nice family CUV! - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    Traded in a 11 QX56 for the JX35 AWD. It is the wifes new soccer mom mobile! Hopefull, the MPG will be better than the QX! The JX35 came with Premium pkg, Theater pkg, Deluxe Touring pkg, Tow pkg, and Roof Rails. We really like the java interior with maple interior accents; the 20" wheels look nice too. The interior is very plush and roomy. It looks and feels high end. The second row moves about 5 inches fwd/aft, which is a great feature-more leg room. Unlike most of the SUVs in this class, the third row is useful. A 6 ft. adult can sit back there comfortably. Infact, its just as comfortable as the 3rd row seat on the QX56. Getting in/out of the 3rd row is a breeze.

  • Great family luxury crossover - 2013 Infiniti JX

    I fist saw the the jx at the 2011 La auto show and I loved it. Finally just what I needed something smaller than my armada than can fit 7 people in luxury. I was glad to find out it was in my 50k price range, so one year later we purchased it. We got fwd (I know should of got all wheel but its drives just fine) with premium, divers assistance theater pkg. At first we took a look and drove the 2013 pathfinder which the Nissan dealer told us its the Same thing as the jx. Well its different. Not to mention the pathfinder interior is plastic fantastic! In conclusion we are glad we got the jx. We have put 6500 miles on it and not one problem. I highly recommend this crossover.

  • Liking it more and more - 2013 Infiniti JX

    Love the way it drives, the room and interior. Looks better than the pictures too. Im not sure why the reviewers say its slow and dosent handle great. While its not a dragster off the line it has the plenty of power for passing on the highway and getting around town...plus excellent mileage. I think it handles and drives excellent. Its silent and all the features work great. My wife cant be happier. Its her daily driver. The trany is fine too. We drove the XC90,XC60, MDX, Lexus 350, Audi Q5 and Q7 and the BMW X5. We took delivery in early May and have put 2500 hundred miles on it due to a long trip. We have the Premium, Tech and Theater packages and the car is White/Tan int.

  • worst car i have ever bought.. - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    loved this when we bought it from the show room, drove great, first service they broke the right side mud flap & didnt say anything till I drove home & kept hearing a noise then I pulled over & looked underneath & saw it was barely hanging on, then after owning it for 1 year I noticed the second row seats showing some tears so I called the service department & they told me to hold off until my next appointment then they would have someone look at it then they did, & said it wasnt bad lets just keep and eye on it & now its been over 2 years & the leather seats getting worse & they still say the same thing. Im getting no where with this, but I have told all my friends not to buy from them & we will be trading this in for a different car here real soon & never getting an infinity again. Its really a shame :(

  • Sophisticated Artistry meets cutting edge technology - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    My wife and I think this car is awesome. Coming off of three consecutive Nissan Muranos we set out on a quest to find something "better than Murano." Spent several months shopping luxury cars and nothing was better than Murano. lincoln has "turn signals from ____ , cramped front passenger seat and you cant one hand it in a parking lot. Thats where we started our shopping. Explorer and the other lincoln dont have flat floors on the passenger side front. Same with the FX. Volvo has insufficient arm rests... and limited inventory. Cadillac SRX was falling apart in the show room. MDX and jeep are nice, but their trucks. Finally a car that is perfect. Leave it to Nissan to figure it out.

  • Infiniti failed with this car - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    I know that I will never buy another Infiniti again. We have a Nissan truck that cost almost $30k less, and it drives like a champ. My car is 3 years old, and we have already had to replace the transmission- which cost an additional $5300. Nothing on this vehicle can be serviced by a mechanic, everything must come from the dealer. The bluetooth barely works, we can never get the DVD player to work, the GPS is inaccurate, and had routed me to a 2-track jeep trail that almost killed me, I even busted my wheel bearing going down this road trying to stay alive. The service department is great and very helpful, and the car is comfortable. The cruise control is awesome, but for $55,000, I will never make this purchase again. We have spent more time in the shop with this vehicle than any other vehicle, even ones that we bought pre-owned. A new transmission with only a 12,000 mile warranty is unacceptable.

  • First crossover/SUV - 2013 Infiniti JX
    By -

    Looking for a car with 3 row seating that fits 7, including enough space for 3 children needing carseat/boosters, and 3rd row enough leg room for adults. Both Toyota Highlander and Acura MDX are nice but outdated. Almost got 2013 Pathfinder, but deal fell through last minute. Ended up with 2013 JX, 2 wheel drive, with premium, driver assist and theater package, at over $2K under invoice. Felt got a good value, considering Indinity badge, with nice features, and about $5K over top of line Toyota Sienna Limited. Car is quieter than minivan, with better mileage (about 21.5 to 22.5 MPG) with 90% HWY. Await the crash test/safety rating.
