Positive Review

"I actuall own an Audi A3 2012 that I am going to"

sell so that I can buy the Infinitiy EX35 Journey.I know the person selling this car. It's older has more miles but it feels to me to be a lot more comfortable & the ride is really smooth compared to the 2012 Audi A3.

Critical Review

"Lots of power but I should have done more homework"

This SUV offers a great smooth ride and accelerates better than any car Ive owned, including other luxury cars. I had hoped to own it for many years but I am highly disappointed in some things that are important to me that will prevent me from keeping the car. Fuel economy does not exist, the SUV is a gas guzzler and in a time of fuel efficiency, its really poor. The navigation system is the absolute worse. You cant see the current traffic status unless you set/enter a destination, thats so 90s. Just to simply drive to work/home you cannot observe current traffic, so Im stuck using Google Maps or Waze on my phone after spending nearly 2k for navigation. You cant get Bluetooth audio without the navigation pkg., and you must have a Sirius XM package for the Nav-Traffic (subscription fee) system to work, again this is archaic. Only 1 USB port and all on-screen information is in a list which is incredibly unsafe & a huge distraction so you cant use it while driving. The directional compass is a tiny arrow; you never know what direction is N, W, S or E without searching for the arrow while driving. There is no power button for the trunk, there are no cup/bottle holders in the doors and the dual cup holders in the center console are too small for more than one cup at a time and it blocks the gear shift while holding a cup! I feel like I bought a new OLD car!

Condition

Car is immaculate in every sense of the word. White with beige leather, very low mileage V6 engine, and a pleasure to drive.

amazing ride

I purchased a used 2017 Infiniti QX50 sitting on a car lot and this was one of the best decisions I ever made. This truly is the nicest rides I ever experienced. Lots of power and luxury. It is in exceptional condition and a steel for $11,500. It has 112,000 miles on it and drives like it is brand new.

Incredibly Impressed
Pros

all above

Cons

little less snobby, styling good basic

got better deal than other best sellers from germany and japan. BUT , the luxury of the interior and 3.7 Z engine were absolutely great. the balance of great handling and quiet luxury feel are extremely well done. The engine is a huge plus. 325hp in natural v6…. even right sound from 3 inch pipes. Has been impeccably reliable.

Fun and fast
Pros

fun to drive and very high quality

Cons

MPG and engine can get course in higher rev range

This car is a real handler. Rear wheel drive rocks. Well equiped and great road trip car. If you drive it hard, it does get fairly thirsty, but liveable. Very reliable.

Currently owned 2014 QX50 Never had trouble !
Pros

You must read required mileage to make changes!

Cons

If you like nice cars take care good care/on time!

I maintained the car by changing oil every 7,000. Miles, changed all four tires drive flat at 80,000. changed front and back brakes at 80,000 miles. I drove the car to Utah, Nevada, Seattle, Florida, and New York with no problem it went for Alignment when the tire was changed. I use this car for long distance driving out of state and drive my Mercedes SUV in state! The both cars are full loaded black with no accidents, no dents and garaged all the time it's not used!
