Infinity- quality, realizability, family friendly.
It is had issues with tire pressure and rear view mirrors, but otherwise performs well. It is comfortable and clean- leather seats, rear view camera, seat warmers/ coolers, and sensory abilities for example if you get too close to a car or drift over street borders, it will alert you.

Great driving vehicle. Highly recommended.
Very comfortable. Performance is great- only concern is cruise control - trouble shifting when going up hill. Drivers side mirror came off in automatic car wash. Track on drivers side seat broke after owning for 2 years. Very kid friendly. Great cargo space area.

Go get your car. Want the best, safe, amazing car! Go buy the infiniti qx56.
I had a Volvo prior to his car and it was nice but this car is more comfortable and it is very easy to control even though it is not a small car. I have never gotten so many compliments on any car I have ever had but this one people are crazy about it, my friend went and bought the exact same car! The features are the real draw because I can put my cousins in the back and they love watching shows when we go to the mall and I love the quiet. I like the god navigation- it made my other car seem like a toy. I know that we are looking the trade or sell our Acura and we are totally getting another infinity.

Safety features. Insurance is low.
Comfort and safety. Very roomy. Size and shape looks great. Gas mileage could be better. 3rd row space could be bigger.

I have all the extras in my infinity and I wouldn't have it any other way.
You really need to always use the dealership for any work because most parts are infinity specific. This is a durable, safe vehicle and is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. My children love this SUV. Perfect for trips. The DVDs is perfect for kids.

Great Infiniti qx56 would recommend to my anyone that likes SUV’s.
Have not had any problems and at 130,000 miles. The performance is great a lot of get up and go, very comfortable and easy to drive. Very smooth and it has DVD on headrests for viewing pleasure. Great I would recommend this vehicle. It has very reliable and larger than most cars so I feel safer.

My vehicle has the keyless entry.
I believe I may have selected the wrong model because we actually need more space in a vehicle. We are a family of five and we all need to be able to fit in a vehicle with comfort. SUV would be my preferred vehicle if anyone cares. However I do love the Infiniti brand all together.

2011 Infiniti qx56: very reliable for up to 10 years.
This vehicle is very good for families of 5 or 6. I am single male in my twenties so I prefer something smaller and faster. My parents gave my this car because it is very reliable and big enough to protect me from an accident. The only negatives about this car are the gas mileage and how wide it is. Sometimes it is hard to judge how close you are to other cars, especially in a parking lot.

It has so much room if you take a lot of road trips with kids.
We bought this vehicle used-4 years old-and it has been so awesome since the day we bought it! The rear air is so great for our boys on hot days and they each have their own DVD player in the headrest right in front of them! The car came with headphones for each boy or we can play it over the car speakers. And the speakers sound so good for movie or music! The GPS is awesome, even being an older model it still updates and knows directions for your destinations! The room is incredible! We have 2 big car seats in the second row and I can still sit in between them on long car rides! Then you have a third row if needed and a huge trunk if you do not! This is a must have family vehicle, especially for road trips!
