2013 Infiniti JX - Drive Time Review with Steve Hammes | TestDriveNow

[@thectb1]

Thank you very much! I love it, we spent 3 days test driving nearly every SUV on the market but with all the packages, performance, fuel economy, ride comfort and one of the best 3rd rows...it was fairly easy choice. Thanks for your help!

[@stevehammes]

Sure! The Pathfinder can also do the same job for less. But I think the Infiniti looks MUCH better.

[@thectb1]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your quick response...we are leasing our JX fully loaded. We are signing papers tonight.

[@bmwmsport11]

This would be the perfect car for my parents. It offers luxury, fuel economy, and 2 extra seats in the back. Great video

[@smitty195]

Excellent review. Thanks! Just bought a JX with EVERY option and I am loving this new car! The CVT is flawless.

[@stevehammes]

Back in high school.

[@smitty195]

How exciting!! You will LOVE your new car. It's so comfy to drive, and the electronic doo-dads are really something. It sounds like you got the Tech Package also---that is AWESOME!!!

[@CRAZYXBLACKXMAN]

wanted an mdx for a long time, but i'll certainly take this over that

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Why does everyone hate on CVTs? It's ridiculous; almost like when people complained about HID headlights on cars -.- The fact is that CVTs are the future, and with the current 2nd generation CVTs from NIssan, they are actually quite a bit better than regular engines when paired to an engine with decent power. Imagine; no more waiting for the transmission to downshift when not stopping completely :) Exciting!

[@stevehammes]

Couldn't agree more!

[@morpheusmann]

I love it and agree it could use more horse power but it's a good addition to the Infiniti line up.

[@bootsy512]

Yes, that is Mrs. Hammes.

[@smitty195]

Hmm, I'm winging it from memory but the sticker was something like $56K or $57K (whatever the full price is with every single option available). Then I got the price that USAA insurance guaranteed, which I think was around $52,800 or thereabouts.

[@davidhalifax]

With such a wide and bulky vehicle, the JX sure NEEDS all these 'safety' features.

[@TheMrcnut]

Nissan understands how to make the VQ work with their CVT. Try a Murano some day. I say bring it on.

[@booksyn]

If they made a shorter, 5 seat version similar to the Murano, I would like this car even more.

[@kdu8004]

+booksyn It's called the FX37

[@smitty195]

LOL I did the exact same thing. I drove them all! I thought I was going to buy a BMX X5, but quickly realized how rough riding it was. The Infiniti had everything---and more---that I was looking for. By far the best car I've ever owned. I love getting in it every day! What color did you get? Mine is black.

[@Poorna2005]

It took 2 months for my research. JX is the best. Mine is black exterior too.

[@Fred25052]

Another quality review!

[@iadmirethehumble]

Nissan does CVT's pretty well. I think they should leave their luxury division the way it is but I don't think they would ruin any of their models if they tried CVT's since they do them well.

[@East17A]

hey Steven .. thanks for an awesome Review and video ... everything is just perfect i enjoy to watch it really cool .. i like your way of educate the audience about the product :-)

[@snarwars]

I agree, I hear the Q7 will be redesigned next year. The 2014 MDX had a huge leaps in terms of mpg and standard features. Perhaps the Q7 is not the prime choice this year. Looking at a very slightly used 2013 Audi A7 instead for around the same price of a higher end Q7. Nothing can beat the A7's styling

[@stevehammes]

Love it!

[@norberto1090]

Hi Steve, how would you compare it with the competitors, MDX, Audi Q7, Explorer? Can you rank them?

[@Ryman624]

Was that Mrs. Hammes helping you film this one at the end ;)

[@Pedal2TheMetal]

LOVE this car, looks amazing. However I hate the skinny tail lights and the CVT. Seriously, I dont mind a CVT in a Nissan, but in an Infiniti? No please.

[@rjc-ii]

The only reason the JX has a CVT is because it's the only transmission Nissan uses for FWD based vehicles. As long as the rest of the Infiniti line up stays RWD based, they won't get CVTs.

[@jcdawgvideos]

What vehicle do you own? We are purchasing an Infiniti JX35. Do you recommend it for a family of 5 with 2 small teens and one 9 year old?

[@knack0125]

Definatly like this over the larger SUV thats offered by Infiniti, if I wanted a very luxurious 7 passenger rig i'd def go with this, even with a cvt. ^^

[@jackies35]

I thought the same thing Snarwars! But the Q7 S line Prestige It's over $60k. The service and rating on the Q7 is so sad. I wish Audi would have too the time and respond to all of his Q7 consumers. The review on the Q7 is so bad that I went ahead and took a peek at JX35, Acura MDX, and the Buick Enclave. I am approved by Audi and dealer is calling me. I had my eyes on the BMW X5 body is outdates and the Q7, interior outdated. No smart key? MMI issues? And maintenance is expensive!

[@knhl1808]

@coolerdude44 You are right. I too think the back looks like the sonata a little bit. And lol, the Honda Accord wagon thing you are referring to is the Accord Crosstour.

[@mohaimndraz]

You r the best car reviewer. Do you know that?

[@d0ugz24]

Hey I live in Maine! How did you like it?

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

Wow this thing sounds sweet.

[@snarwars]

At the price this particular one came in at, might as well get a q7

[@khunopie]

Steve have you ever earned the nickname The Hamster?

[@fmmnta]

Love it too!!!

[@stevehammes]

Feels very normal...not intrusive.

[@coolerdude44]

i feel like if they were to make a sonata wagon/crossover (i guess like that accord thing, i can't remember the name right now...) it would look just like this. from the front and back it looks like a sonata to me. just the way i see it i guess.

[@TheSaikou96]

They should put an inlike engine and turbo charge it. It'll have torque offf the bat and very good because of inline n horsepower would be good. Even though I don't think nissan'infiniti have ever used an inline engine lol

[@h3runs]

i would have expected them to go with their 3.7L engine.

[@1970borntorun]

As a huge Infinity fan and owner ( 2013 G37x Sedan ) , all the bitching and whining about the CVT and numb steering is really misguided. The CVT is the best on the market, and yes, the steering is a little lifeless, but this vehicle/segment wasn't meant to compete with a 911 or M3 lol

[@Batista7105]

I like the lexus grille...

[@MrCamran3]

This car so looks like a minivan i was thinking to get me but it definitely a soccer moms car and the design is not build for an suv im going with the Mdx or X5 they both looks like suv!

[@shortysboarder11]

Do you like this better than the Dodge Durango?

[@thectb1]

Andy What did you pay if you don't mind me asking 4 months later. :)

[@tomtom5418]

Dammit infinity...a cvt? I get it with parent company being Nissan, but really ...A FREAKING CVT??

[@snarwars]

The trim packages and tier system is terrible as well

[@NeutralGenericUser]

@92CamryLE Imagine the future. Yes, I know it's tough.

[@МаксМорозов-ш5э]

шиииКАРная тачка !

[@thecarsectionthecarsection6420]

RIP INFINITI

[@teerexness]

Those wheels are especially fugly.

[@ysz199]

this car shares the same engine with the nissan maxima, that is the reason why it is cheap

[@ssjMaximumGoku22]

Lol, he said "vast arsenal of aids"

[@steelerarthur666]

cvt...?? boring :O
