Just signed papers today for a 2014 QX60 AWD Premium, Theatre and Drivers Assistance package White exterior and Black interior - undercoating and 3M paint protection added.
I was originally looking for a much less expensive SUV (Santa Fe etc) but I'm used to driving an Infiniti (used to the luxury and refinement) and didn't like any of the Hyundai's or Kia's - especially the interiors. Drove the pathfinder which is nearly identical inside but seemed lacking in a little bit of refinement it seemed and NO HIDs / LEDs?? wtf Its 2014... also - found slightly more wind noise than normal. The fully loaded pathfinder was about $48,500 - about $9000 cheaper than the JX but no technology or intelligent safety systems available on the Pathfinder.
Anyway, I would have much preferred a used one but nothing was on the market for a good price... dealer also had no new/used 2013s left. Also, used car rates for finance were a lot higher and resulted in almost identical monthly payments. We wanted the panaroma sunroof but due to the way they package the 2014s now, you cant get the pano sun roof unless you buy fully loaded (extra $5000 or so)
So I was wondering who on here has one as well or has driven one? - just curious to compare opinions.
Most impressive feature in the car is distance control. While on the test drive, the salesperson said don't bother hitting the brakes at the red light where there were two cars waiting.... I just looked at him and was like "... Wha....??" The car stopped itself! Far enough away that it didn't scare the shit outta me. Very impressive - same applies when backing up.
Lots of room in the SUV and while it stretched my budget to the max for a vehicle, it just appealed to me... and I was able to negotiate off $2k. Since it is brand new - I plan on keeping it 10 years or so... my 8 yr old Infiniti M still gives me little to no problems out or regular maintenance.
Cheers
