The car room in the front and back. The leather seats keep car pretty clean.
Is reaching 200,000 miles but still runs great. Very high class inside interior is leather and all black. Includes a lot of features including a TV with built in DVD Player. Love the height as well. Car also came with rims that attracts everyone's attention

I love my Infiniti qx56 and the way it drives.
Sunroof exploded, gas mileage is very poor. The interior is very comfortable. Air conditioning works very well. The electric rear door is a fantastic feature. DVD player works great, grandkids love it. The vehicle is awesome for road trips. The rear area is perfect for my three canine companions.

Great riding SUV: haul stuff or take long trips!
I like the car because it is so comfortable for long drives. I also like it because it hauls a lot without being a pick up truck. My only real complaint is low gas mileage.

Reliable but a gas guzzler!
The vehicle is comfortable and reliable, however I have faced several problems with the brakes and also with the actuator. It is not fuel efficient but it does have luxury features. It is very spacious for the entire family and especially for long road trips.

It is a gas guzzler but it is comfortable to ride in.
It is quite large, though I wish it had more room in the back with third seat up. Also would of like to have had 8 seats as opposed to only 7. I like that it drives like a truck.

It has captain seats in the second seat. The back opens with the remote.
Performance is great, it drives like a truck. Reliability is good though a younger year may be better. It has great towing capacity. It does drink a lot gas. Ours overheats.
