7 passenger family SUV Infiniti QX56
My vehicle is a 7 passenger SUV, my husband and I purchased it before our baby boy was born. We needed a large and reliable family vehicle. It is very comfortable and luxurious to ride in. It has seat heaters and coolers all throughout the vehicle, it has a DVD player with two screens in the back of the headrests which is perfect for our child.

It is a true joy to drive - I am truly lucky to own such a wonderful SUV!
I have had my vehicle for the past 5 years and I am so happy with the performance! The service from the dealership has been top notch as well. The only complaint I have is about the gas mileage but I was fully aware of that when I purchased.

Interior is absolutely beautiful.
I love this car! It handles well. It has a lot of room if you have more than one child. The only bad part is that it uses a lot of gas.

Love my 2012 Infiniti qx56.
I do love my Infiniti qx56, it rides smooth and feels safe. Only problem I have os when one thing goes wrong it all goes wrong. The TVs and the ability to hook it up to the PlayStation and Xbox, it's great to have for my children especially on long road trips. The seats are very comfortable and roomy.

Luxury meets practicality.
I absolutely love my infinity! Nothing beats the style, drive, and comfort. It is easy to drive and I feel safe because of the size. All the widgets and gadgets are easy to use and anything you need to know about your car is right at your fingertips. Luxury meets practicality!

Overall, we have loved this vehicle.
Great vehicle! It has 140,000 miles. It was a great vehicle to travel with lots of children to multiple events and family vacations. It is now starting to have a few problems. The heat does not seem to be working just right and the seats are starting to look their age. The key battery seems to die out more frequently

Best SUV in it is class top of the line.
So far I do not have any complaints of problems it has been a very reliable vehicle the maintenance has also been very good to me with very few problems currently I just have small wear and tear from years of driving. My biggest complaint is just because of accidents and having poor repair shops.

2012 qx56 great drive, but may not be worth the repair costs.
Vehicle was great until it hit 125,000 miles, 4x4 is great - can drive in any condition. Then many major parts started breaking and costing thousands to repair. These include catalytic converters, torque converter, transmission, drive belt, compressor, wheel bearings, to name just a few.

The car of its kind: the Infiniti qx is a great car with innovative designs.
The Infiniti qx is really good car that is overall good for driving. The exterior is very nice with a nice modern look and cool aura around it. The interior is equally nice with comfortable seats. It is nice with lots of legroom. It is a very reliable car, I never had it once break down in 8 years of driving this magnificent car. Its features are innovative and have cameras to show when you back up on a screen. It also warns you if a object is nearby and makes a beeping noise. There are a little problem I do have with the car. It is mileage is pretty bad, having to stop a lot for gas for its size.

Comfortable SUV for the family.
Vehicle is very comfortable, roomy yet still a versatile SUV. Plenty of space in back for groceries, sports equipment or the family pet. Easy to reconfigure layout to accommodate almost anything. Gas mileage is average and engine maintenance has been routine.
