Better SUV - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By Kelley - May 1 - 3:56 pmMy wife and I were about to purchase the Mercedes GL450 when she stopped in to drive the QX56. The truck is a great mix between comfort and braun. It sounds like a truck, rides like a car, and hauls everything. It also has all of the bells and whistles of the 21st century. Bluetooth, Navi, great seats, large buttons, and a jammin stereo! The style was a little different, but once you drive it you see the truck in a whole different light!

Northwest QX-er - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By HDSCREAGLE - April 30 - 6:26 amWe drive in the Pacific Northwest and this BIG Urban Assault Vehicle definitely comes in handy in our fickle weather. It also provides a high degree of safety on our busy freeways. This is my wifes vehicle and she loves it. You ride HIGH and safe, comfy in the leather surroundings. Controls are very intuitive and easy to use. We enjoy the automatic rear hatch, the back-up TV, nav system and the stereo is high-end too.

Best SUV Ive owned - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By Sarah - September 3 - 3:56 pmI just for the QX56 two weeks ago and it is a joy to drive. After driving a QX4 and a Toyota 4Runner, both of which were fine, the QX56 is the car Ive waited for. The ride is smooth and firm for such a big vehicle. I love the power of the V8 and the fact that I can take just about anything (and anyone) wherever I need to go. With only one child and one dog, my husband thinks Im nuts to drive such a big SUV, but I love how safe I feel. This is the 4th Infiniti weve owned and we cant imagine buying any other brand of car.

Waiting to Exhale... - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By Emma - March 22 - 5:20 amIve been looking for a luxury SUV for quite some time. I didnt want to be like the rest. I saw an ad for the QX56. I immediately had to go see it! I called my husband and we went to go test drive the suv. It didnt even ride like an suv. Comming out from a Tahoe to a QX56 was a HUGE change. This drives like a lux car. I know well look to buy a small car to add to our addition for my husband. Were in love with the Infinities! All of them. All the safty features are there. We have 2 kids and I feel very secure with the added security. Our kids will have Infinities to drive off to college (station wagon). I can finally exhale.

No Regrets - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By NCLUDE - August 10 - 11:23 amI was looking for a nice, comfortable car (Lexus ES350 or Infiniti G35) and ended up getting the QX56 for its great ride and ability to hold our family of 6. Compared to others in its class, the QX56 is the overall champion IMHO. Great ride, looks tough, lots of standard equipment and the price is great compared to others (Escalade and Navigator). I considered the 2007 Escalade but by the time you added on the option it topped 62k. You get much more vehicle for the money with the QX56 and also, not everyone else has one. For those trying to decide among full-size luxury SUVs, I dont think theres a better deal out there. In the end, you just have to drive one, then youll have no doubt.

I Love My Car - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By Yolanda - April 21 - 11:56 amSo far it has been great! This is my first Infiniti QX56, previous 2 SUVs were Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition. Have also driven an Escalade much. Not the get up and go power of the Escalade but a close second. More comfortable than the Escalade or my previous SUVs. Great construction--sturdy, Navigator moldings didnt hold up well to my 3 girls and their numerous friends pilled into "moms taxi." Did have an immediate gear shift problem within hours of receiving the new car, fixed within 24 hours at the dealer. Gear was slipping out of drive and brakes locking up until motor turned off (not good in traffic)--no problems since first day. Love the look, size, engine power.

Good used luxury SUV - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By pnad - January 18 - 11:32 amI wanted big and comfortable. Shopped Lexus, Cadillac and Lincoln. The QX56 was cheaper than the Escalade, bigger than the GX470 and more reliable than the Navigator. It is a little odd looking from the outside, but looks great from the drivers seat. And oh what a drivers seat it is... Its like wearing new shoes WITH new socks. So comfortable. Passengers LOVE the second row seats. The 3rd row, like most, is better suited to smaller kids but I could sit back there for a 30 minute ride. Bose stereo sounds awesome. AUX input is strangely missing, but you can connect a phone/ipod whatever to the DVD input. Mileage isnt great, but it is the same for most of these trucks. Read up about brake issues on these trucks. Same for Nissan Titan and Armada. Warped rotors are not a big deal to me. $56ea at the local part store, I dont care if I need to replace them once a year. The other brake issue is the delta stroke sensor. You will want to google that. A sensor goes bad in the brake booster causing the antilock brakes to kick on. Feels like you are trying to stop on ice. I knew it was a possibility so I wasnt freaked out when it happened to me. Truck still stopped pretty good, just had that grindy/vibrating pedal feel. You can clear the fault by simply restarting the vehicle. If it happens a few more times I will look into replacing the brake booster ($180)

Best SUV Ever! - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By Gary Duenas - September 19 - 4:43 pmMy Wife had a Choice of Any type of SUV out there but liked the Nissan Armada. We both saw a QX56 & said thats it! Not knowing it was the same SUV. We Love the Body style, Interior, GPS, Bose system, backup camera & audible warning, easy lifting 2nd row seats, DVD entertainment (added another Headrest DVD system), didnt include Tow Package but decided later not to add one because it Cheapens the look of the vehicle, added 22" Customs Wheels w/Low profile tires, Cold Air Intake and Exhaust system (MagnaFlow) for Fuel efficiency. Only problem that we inccured are that the Sunroofs plastic bracket comes off a lot, Air condition controls and all Passengers windows sometimes doesnt work.

Love this SUV - 2006 Infiniti QX56
By Shugrady - July 23 - 1:13 pmI just got my QX56 5 days ago and Im so happy. I traded in a 2001 QX4 that served us well. We decided to make the leap to a BIG SUV and it was the absolute right thing to do. Its fun to drive, theres tons of room for everything (and everyone), and it looks great. My husband thinks Im nuts to want to drive such a big car, but it makes me feel extremely safe, plus it drives like a luxury car, not a big SUV. This is our 4th Infiniti and we are customers for life.
