Power Reliability Handling Great engine, tranny, and AWD system.

Bose stereo (only American component) Developing squeaks Seats hurt my back Gas mileage (an SUV with this little of interior space should be getting 20 mpg) premium fuel requirement

After a couple of years and 40,000 more miles on our QX4, I can write a bit more accurate review. I never thought I'd say this about an Infiniti, but the fit and finish is beginning to remind me of a domestic. It has developed a squeak in the dash, the cargo light will come on when turning in cold weather, the Bose CD player broke, and the leather is already wearing out on driver's seat. The hood has never seated properly, and it wobbles on the highway. very annoying. Gas mileage remains a dismal 18 mpg on the highway. But the power is still very acceptable; it surprises many other drivers. It is cramped inside for my 6'1", 250 lb frame, but is perfect for my 5'3" 125 lb wife. handling is great, AWD system is excellent. Major mechanical components have been trouble-free. Still on factory brakes, though the struts are needing replacement.

Great and unusual - not your "typical run-of-the-mill" look. More than enough power. VERY quick response. Unbelievable cornering. This thing is glued to the road. Feel like I got a Porsche at a bargin price.

Those tires look like a second mortgage to replace. Some of the plastic could be a bit better quality for this kind of money - but: Who's perfect ?

This is the most amazing vehicle I have owned since getting my license in 1965. It looks agressive but isn't. It looks fast and is. It feels like it was designed with actual people in mind. My wife adores the remote lever to flip the rear seats down, as well as being able to adjust the seats / controls / gauges for her own liking. I can set those things for my own use and it's all in memory.

-handles rough weather real well. Snow and ice are no match for the AWD. -Looks good, drives good. -Interior is beautiful. -I was looking forward to buying a new one but if they do not make them any moreI'll probably settle for a BMW X5.

-The back seat is not excatly designed for long distance travel. -Gas usage not the best but inline with the rest of the SUV family. - The ride can be rough over bumpy roads.This is not a smooth riding sprts sedan, whenever I hit a bump I am reminded that I an driving an SUV. -I test drove one of teh newer models and they did a good job reducing road noise.

My 1st real investemnt on an automobile and I have no regrets so far. I replaced an alternator( cost me about $150.00).I have driven this car to so many places and it has delivered every time. Took it on a 2000 mile road trip to NY, did a 1000+ mile road trip around the mid-west and its superb. It handled the snow and slippery winter roads without a sneeze or a wheeze, the ABS and AWD works like magic. They could have put in a more powerful stereo system but overall its got good sound output. Plus its a head turner. You pull into a parking lot and people cant help but stare. Pretty good car overall. Did I say it looks good? My friends call it the Sexfinity.

I'M SHOCKED! I resently read one posting that stated the QX4 2003 is the last and will be replaced by another model. I recetnly purchased my QX4 in June 2003. I absolutely enjoy this vehicle! My husband and I considered many other SUVs that we have test driven and our last stop was the Infinity QX4. We were so delighted with this vehicle that I have set my mind for this to be my future choice for another SUV (after about 5 years with my 2003 QX4). WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT TO FIND OUT THIS IS NOT AN OPTION! Hopefully the manufacturers will wake up and realize that is a mistake.

Durable, rugged, go anywhere SUV with style. Comfortable and luxurious all around. The BEST vehicle I have ever owned!!

I AM SO DEPRESSED!! I bought my Infiniti QX4 in July of 1999. I love this car! With out question, it is the best vehicle I have ever owned! I have never had even 1 problem with it in 5 years. The only thing that I have ever had to do to it, is routine oil changes & I had a flat tire once. The QX4 is comfortable & luxurious, but it is still a rugged SUV. I have put alot of miles on my QX4. We live in the mountains of Alabama, (not exactly the flat lands.) We drive it to South Dakota. We drive it to Florida. We take this SUV everywhere! It has been a WONDERFUL experience owning this Infiniti QX4! I can't say enough about it!! Anyways, my husband and I decided it was time to trade in our 1999 Infiniti QX4 for a new one. We wanted some of the new features like the DVD and the mapping system that they offer now. So, I went online to get a price for a new QX4. Well, to my astonishment, they no longer make the Infiniti QX4!!! WHY?? The 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 were the last. I didn't believe it, so I called my local Infiniti dealer to confirm this news. He said that the QX4 is being replaced with the FX & QX56. The Infiniti QX56 will go on the market on 3-1-2004. I went online to look at the Infiniti QX56 and it is REALLY EXPENSIVE! To get all of the options that I currently have on MY QX4 (like a sunroof) I'll have to pay approximately $57,000.00! WOW! That is roughly $22,000 more than I paid for my Infiniti QX4 in 1999! I could by another brand new car for 22K! To say the least I am very upset about this! Not only is the QX56 expensive, but it's ugly. It kinda looks like a mini-van/blazer hybrid. The QX56 has all of the bells and whistles though. It has everything that you would ever want, except looks. I also looked at the Infiniti FX & it's just not my style. I think it looks like a Toyota Rave 4. I am really upset about all of this. The Infiniti dealer that I talked to said that they have been trying to find as many QX4's as they can, because customers have been so upset that they couldn't get a NEW QX4. I guess we can only hope that Infiniti will come to there senses soon. Until then, I guess I'll have to look at Lexus SUV!!

-Quality workmanship throughout -Reliability, functionality, luxury -2WD, AWD, 4WD Lo/High, all shift on the fly -Great Offroad (not a mountain goat though - if that's what you want get a '72 Bronco) -Awesome headlights (HID is unbelievable) -Really smooth ride for an SUV -Plenty of power (240 horses) -Saftey - antilock brakes and plenty of airbags. Check out http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/testing/ncap/Cars/2001SUVs.html for crash test results! -Dealerships & customer service

-Gas mileage (avg 17 city / 22 hwy) -Some road noise (mainly due to the big tires) -Rear suspension (needs 4 wheel independent - would smooth out the ride even more) -Rear DRUM BRAKES (just plain antiquated for this day and age) -Pricey, but like I said before... You get what you pay for!

My first NEW vehicle with no regrets. I test drove one and fell in love with it. The price wasn't much different from a Pathfinder with all the options, so I knew I wanted one. At the time I lived 2 hours from a dealership so I ended up doing everything over the phone. The dealership was great and delivered it right to my door on a Friday afternoon. It's driven everyday and 26000 miles later I haven't had a single problem. I've gone to two different dealerships for oil changes & regular maintenance and they are fantastic. Customer service was awesome and I was always given a "loner" to drive (last time I got a brand new G35 sedan which was a blast to drive!). You get what you pay for and I will definitely buy an Infiniti again.

Great 4wd system! Great off road and in the deeper snow, very fun

gas, and nothing else

i brought it new around oct 2001. the dealership is great. fun suv to drive and it is a real suv not a car base suv. The 4wd system is also great, a lot better than other suv's.

Very fun SUV to drive, love every minute driving it.

Little noisy when rev. up. Gas mileage is ok on an SUV, not much different as compare to 3.3L old engine, it is still a plus overall.

Head Turn SUV, two tones paint (Black/Silver). Love every minutes of driving it. Good power, great looking, comfortable ride, fit 2 adults and 3 kids are fine.

nice interior and the outside looks good.

Not enough tint on the windows and the gas milage is awfull. Too expensive to work on. and the back windows don't roll down all the way. STUPID

I hate this car. It is awfull. I bought it used of course.It is a mess. Lucky for me my husband insisted on a warrenty. It had to have the exhaust manifold replaced.And also the sensor on the gas pedal. It is not comfortable and it makes to much noise. The bad thing is that I traded in my Blazer and it was better than this. I would not recomend this vehicle to anyone. It was a mistake. Too bad you can not drive around more before you make the mistake that I did.
