What Owners are Saying About the 1997 INFINITI QX
"This has been a great car"
"This car has 268,000 miles on it. I bought it with 60,000 miles. Other than the usual wear and tear, i.e. transmission was replaced at 240,000 and a few other minor things, this car runs like it is brand new. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this vehicle again. If Infiniti still made the Qx4, I would go straight to the dealer and buy one."
"Best car ever! Comfortable, reliable, powerfull!"
"Infinity makes a really nice truck feel like a comfortable, roomy, well appointed sedan. This SUV has never broken down, always starts right up, has power enough to trek any mountain road and looks great doing it!! All this, and a sound system that is to die for, makes long distance driving a joy. I have loved owning this car ...for 15 years!"
"Comfortable reliable always maintained"
"This has been hands down the best car I have ever owned. All the bells and whistles in such a well made and well thought out vehicle. Had it barely off road once, this has been driven by the proverbial little old lady, except I was in my early 40's when we bought it new. Have a set of studded rimmed snowtires for the vehicle also. This car will go forever, I think!"
