    She's a keeper

    I bought the QX with 50 k on it, now ten tears later with 177k on it this truck is very reliable and powerful. I've had to replace the catalyst converters twice. Recommend, only use Nissan converters, after market converts don't last long at all. Suspension in the front little too soft , so I replaced with stiffer Struts. Otherwise, I'm keeping mine.

    By far the best, comfiest, home on wheels ever!

    This SUV has been my family of now 5's home on wheels for going on 7 years. It is roomy, reliable, comfortable enough to fit 4 adults and 3 kids on multiple road trips.

    Looks high end, feels high end, drives high end

    Has been a great family vehicle for our 6 members. Kids love it, wife loves it, I love it. Has a ton of storage space which is great, plenty of little pockets and areas to keep things organized. Gas mileage on it was surprisingly better than I expected. Great performance and pickup. The extras are an added bonus to the high end look and performance, reminds me a lot of the G35x we had only a lot bigger obviously but never any major issues, never left us stranded, felt great and looked great.

    Most reliable car I've ever owned.

    Perfect for a growing family or if you just need lots of room with luxury. The motor and transmission are strong. If I had to say anything negative about it, I'd say it was expensive to fill up because it used premium gas. At the same time I think it's worth it.

    245k and still strong

    Great truck 245k on her and still going my only complaint is the interior is lacking for an Infiniti other then that if it were updated it would be better then the brand new QX80 I bought.

    Just for me

    I've shopped around from north to south and couldn't find what I was looking for until I took a look on cars.com. My QX56 is spacious, comfortable, and reliable. This SUV is in excellent condition. Thanks cars.com.

    THERE IS NO EQUALS AMONGST THE SUV

    My family owned a brand new Q56 since 2008, its an amazing car to drive, its like a room in a car with all the comfort that comes with it. We cannot trade it for anything else. We traded Toyota Sequar in 2008 to get the Q56, In fact we were so care=ing for this car that we only take it to church on Sunday and on family vacation. We love it, you have it to understand what we are talking about. GREAT CAR Q56.

    RUUUNN!!!! Or get a loong warranty!!!

    Was looking for a nice SUV for the family that my wife could drive, and also a vehicle for me to drive in as well. Did my research on this vehicle and seen that it had good ratings. Never again! I have only had this car for over a year and have been trying to fix the way it rides still! Fixed almost everything on the sunspecion, shocks, coils springs, air suspension, tires, differential, axle shaft and she still sits low and rides rough. Very nice vehicle with plenty of bells and whistles, but you will be replacing those bells and whistles. This is the first large SUV from Infiniti and Nissan and they had to work out the bugs.....NOTICE that the newer models have air ride suspension to avoid the horrible ride. I have only owned this car for a little over a year and will be trading it in very soon! Even though, I will be losing a lot of money on it!

    Great Value!

    I shopped X5 and Navigator for comparison and they didn't come close. At over 50,000 miles, this has been a wonderful ride! Navigation is intuitive, comfort features abound, interior has been thoughtfully designed for driver and passenger comfort. Fold the two rear rows of seats down and there's room for an orchestra AND the third row stows in the QX' floor, not in the corner of your garage. Infiniti service has been top notch. Go drive one -- you'll love it!

    Better than a Suburban

    We owned the 2001 LT Suburban, and can not believe the difference in our QX56. I can not think of one thing that I liked more in the Suburban than the QX. Why is their not more QX's on the street??
