2019 INFINITI QX50

Sporty, Comfortable & fun to drive

Thursday, October 21, 2021

I use this vehicle in my real estate business. It is comfortable for 4 adults, surprisingly roomy. However, tall folks may not be as comfortable (6 ft or better). Average 36 mpg, great hatch/trunk, good sound system. Sporty drive for the 4 cylinder front wheel drive. Handles well on curvy roads, some luxury feeling. Mine is not equipped with remote start or the navigation app - wish it had it. I’d buy it again if I needed a vehicle. One of my whipper washers keeps stopping up….. only problem I’ve had…

I leased this car & just bought out the lease

I really have enjoyed this car for the most part. I drive to and from work 3-hours per day - mostly highway & inner city driving. I use this car for everything. It's a LOADED model. I have everything except the quilted seats (though I do have the leather package.) It's really comfortable. Heated seats are nice but I love the COOLING SEATS!!! I haven't found many cars with that feature. I love that the speed is displayed in the windshield & I never take my eyes off the road. I love the Bose speakers/system. It's a comfy car. HERE ARE THE CONS: #1 are the RUN FLAT TIRES!! Ugh! Car has no room for a spare. On average, the lousy run flats last 20,000 miles but perhaps less. If you don't blow them out, you'll know it's time to change them when the tires start losing air regularly (my car tells me when). These tires are expensive & are hard to find outside of the dealer. I might switch to regular tires soon. Run flats do what they say - you can drive off the highway with a flat BUT it will cost you about $400+ to replace one tire (and you WILL replace them). #2, Every once in awhile, the radio screen freezes. You can't turn it on or off. I already had that replaced once when I got the car. It's finicky. When that happens, I sometimes pull over, turn off the car & let the "computer" reset itself. Sometimes that works. Other times no. It sucks to drive over an hour without a radio. That does happen. #3, sometimes the "protective" features won't let you park a car or pull into a tight parking spot. If you have the parking assist "on", the car will stop you from getting too near another vehicle or something else. You have to turn off the parking assist in settings so that you can use your experience to park or get out of a tight spot. The car just won't let you do it sometimes. Other than those issues, I love the car. I HATE the run flat tires. Don't ever get a car with run flats!!!!! They're terrible.

A step above its class

Friday, February 25, 2022

I test drove about 6/7 SUV crossovers in this class before purchasing the QX50. So far the vehicle has a slight edge over the competition. Rated Top to Bottom 1. This Vehicle is 10 times more comfortable than any other SUV I sat in. (Yes 10 times more) 2. Plenty of horsepower, you will never need more. 3. Interior Trim and Design is extremely thought out compared to other SUV’s in its class. 4. Better leasing options than competition in Feb 2022 5. Blue tooth Apple Car Play is both convenient and easy to use on the double display of the Infinti. 6. Upgraded Tire and Rims package are much much better in Infiniti than other vendors. 7. Exterior design, is sleek and unique 8. ECO driving option on the freeway allows for close to 30 mpg on flat driving freeways. Overall 8.8 / 10
