2008 INFINITI QX56 User Reviews

Fantastic Truck!!! — LOVE IT!!! We are a five person family, with my husband and our three boys. I needed something we could grow into and be very comfortable. I've been and Infiniti lover since my 1997 Q45t. This truck is a fantastic blend of function and luxury!!

Awesome People Hauler —

The QX56 has plenty of passenger room, even for me at 6'5" / 260 lbs and is very comfortable for long drives. The second and third row's also have more passenger room than any other SUV in this class. However, all the extra passenger room leads to very little room behind the third row. If you hauling 8 people on a long trip, your going to need a hitch hauler or trailer to fit all that luggage. However, with the seats down, you again have more room than any other SUV in this class. The 5.6L Nissan V8 is tuned for even more horsepower in the QX56 and provides plenty of "get-up and go" and handles our 5000 lb trailer quite well. I find the suspension to be a little soft, it's tuned more like a luxury car than an SUV. I realize most buyers would appreciate this, but it is a 4WD truck and using it off-highway on camping trips or when towing you can feel a little "tossed around". All the comfort and convenience features are amazing, especially the in car entertainment system. The media system has all the traditional sources of audio and video (AM/FM, XM SAT, CD, DVD), then adds compact flash, a built-in hard drive, aux audio and aux video inputs. Add the fact that front and rear passengers can simultaneously choose a different source from any of the available sources, and that CD-Audio can automatically be ripped to the internal hard drive and you have one impressive setup. The smart key system which allows you to lock, unlock and start the car without ever taking the key out of your pocket is quite wonderful, especially with a load of groceries in both hands - every car should have a smart key. Gas mileage is terrible, but you don't buy this vehicle for it's efficiency and it matches with other vehicles in this class. All and all this is great vehicle if you need to haul a lot of people and want to do it comfortably and safely.

"own One And You'll Understand" — Excellent State of The Art Technology with comfortable seating for seven people. The structre of this SUV is what makes the QX56 a family car and an ALL terrain vehicle that can maintain normal engine temperature in all type of weather conditions. Snow, Rain, River crossing, etc etc....REally recomend it, just without these SOARING GAS prices...lol

The Infiniti qx56 is a great vehicle. Other than the transmission issues, antifreeze leaking from radiator in to the transmission cooler, the vehicle has been fantastic.
