Those are the 3 things i love about my infinity qx 70s with premium packages

[@angelaroberts9694]

Good video! My heated seats do the same thing on my 2011 Infiniti m37. And I see what you are talking about with the blind spot. I was thinking about trading my car in for one but I’m not sure. what a great car! Love my m37 :)

[@orlandojacinto1]

Thanks! I admit complaining about the heated seats is nit-picky, it warms fine within 30 seconds, I got roasted for mentioning it 😂. The blind spot takes some getting use to. I will miss the Q70(m37) Infiniti discontinued it, I think it’s a beautiful car.

[@queendanique]

My fully loaded 2012 Nissan Juke's seats are the same way. Maybe its just a flaw with Nissan/Infiniti models in general?

[@nyknicks888]

The thing i hate the most is that the doors do not automatically unlock when you shift back to P. They only unlock when the ignition is turned off. ASININE!

[@orlandojacinto1]

Has to be reason for that. Maybe safety related.

[@autohoopla5200]

Wow can’t say I really agree with any of those. My three things are 1) The gap between the front seats and the center console. You drop something and it enters the black hole abyss and you won’t find it unless you get out and move the seats forward. 2) There is a pulley that is very low and if you run through some puddles, the belt will get wet and it starts to squeek. 3) The cup holders in the front do not hold beverages very well and when you turn they will go sideways and fall out.

[@orlandojacinto1]

I've dropped a few cards into the gap, it's pain taking them out. I'll listen for the squeak. The cup holders hold most beverages fine, but know what you mean about the design.

[@ShashankKatiyar0]

I used to own a 2011 M37 and I agree with you about heating. However, cooling was silent, I don't remember hearing fan noise 🤔

[@orlandojacinto1]

The fan sound when cooling is actually normal.

[@blaakcoffee]

Hello, what’s the most expensive parts you should have to replace about the QX70? I’m trying to decide whether or not to replace car or pay for the catalytic converters. I already replaced transmission.

[@orlandojacinto1]

The subframe is the most expensive so far. Subframe was replaced at a cost of $678...that was just the labor and rear diff fluid replacement. The actual price for the subframe is around $1,400 and labor was an extra 2K from the dealer. The bushing around the center diff mount was blown, fluid silicon was all over the rear differential cover. I paid only $678 since Infiniti applied a goodwill customer loyalty b/c I was only a few miles over the warranty. I would check an Infiniti forum to find out what FX/QX owners are saying. Replaced transmission and converters already?...At how many miles?

[@chenwilliam5036]

Great information,going to purchase a used 2017 qx70 with 55k miles soon,does the qx70 uses cvt or traditional transmission?thanks

[@orlandojacinto1]

Happy this video helps. I recommend watching my other QX70 videos. It has a 7-speed automatic transmission.

[@billkraus9631]

I agree, the heated seats are not quick to heat. My work Explorer seats heat up quickly

[@orlandojacinto1]

It least it works. 👍

[@crazyone1067]

Hi Orlando, very nice QX. If Infiniti would have used Sail Mirrors, that issue would have been non-existent.

[@orlandojacinto1]

A Yates Thanks! I know other QX70 owners that have complained about the mirror size. Maybe Infiniti will use sail mirrors (or similar) in the 3rd generation QX70.

[@ENEN54]

I hav 2017 QX70 limited with 21" wheels hard ride but haven't had not one issue tho it's tough 🎃😈😈 sexy and two tone interior is raw

[@orlandojacinto1]

I agree, the QX70 is a reliable SUV. I spoke to a salesperson a few weeks back, they mentioned Infiniti will no longer make the QX70.

[@paul9387]

I'm either getting QX70S vs Limited, still undecided, any advice?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Like Timeus said, the 21" wheels can be a hard ride. I would go with what you want..You can't go wrong with either one.

[@ENEN54]

@@orlandojacinto1 yes I wish they would remake it but I heard they are considering it it's so many of them on streets

[@ENEN54]

@@paul9387 I think QX70S is sexy just like QX70 limited either one is good choice I would say QX70S has more toys if that helps

[@audio_guy]

The reason you have such large side mirrors is so that you can see what's behind you due to your #2 reason, poor visibility from interior. I for one, rarely use the center mirror, only the side mirrors and would welcome real sized side mirrors. Time to test drive a QX70 :D

[@orlandojacinto1]

I later mentioned the size of the mirror covers at the end of the video. How the test drive go?

[@kenchy318]

I have one from 2014, and it's time for a new car. I never had problems with this one and love its sporty personality, but they don't sell them anymore. So, what would be a good alternative to this amazing car?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Kenan Vejzagic I’m sure you can find a 2017 in the used car market. Maybe a Porsche Macan.

[@maddeninvestments]

QX55

[@vee-qp6fm]

Can't wait till the new qx55 and what motor their using

[@orlandojacinto1]

vee2116 Probably a variant of the variable compression ratio engine or a electric, not sure. I’ll let you know when I have something more definitive.

[@Scoharr]

Nice video Orlando. I've heard complaints about the Nav and Infotainment systems being so old-tech - how's it working for you?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Scott Harrell Thanks Scott. I appreciate the feedback. The Nav and Infotainment systems are definitely old-tech for a 2015, but very simple to use. The resolution should’ve been improved in the remaining life of QX70. IMO Infiniti needs to improve the software and go with HD. Overall, my happy with my QX70.

[@austinblues6044]

Ironically, I have rarely used the Nav and haven't updated the software since I purchased the car new. I use WAZE from my phone, mounted on the driver's side window bracket. It sits just above my AC Vent for easy viewing. I do wish I could link the audio, but it's a small inconvenience.

[@bushido2579]

Anybody have any idea how to update the infotainment system so it reads Movies from a USB in every format apart from DVD and Avi format, because converting the movies takes a lot of time through winff software, or the only option is to change the infotainment system?

[@orlandojacinto1]

I’ll check for you and let you know.

[@mypointofview6118]

The one thing I hated and made me go to Lexus ...my 2009 Fx35 never evolved !! Wanted a new one but the body style and interior never changed! Still looks the same and we are in 2020 now... How much longer until they decide to change the body style is becoming obsolete....

[@orlandojacinto1]

2017 was the last year of the QX70 (FX). I think Infiniti played it safe the last few years, it cost them sales. The QX55 will have an updated interior and some FX styling, but they are using the same or variant of the QX50 variable compression engine. Checkout the QX60 Monograph it gives you an idea where Infiniti is headed in terms of styling. -I think it's step in the right direction.

[@rashad9014]

If those are the things that makes you hate the car.. Its a perfect car!

[@orlandojacinto1]

The QX70 is definitely a perfect car.

[@orlandojacinto1]

@Riz PYes 100%.

[@deividxr]

I will make a video called "964 things I hate about my 1985 Lada Niva"

[@chino8192]

Are the repairs expensive compared to other cars?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Hi Chin. I would say yes, if you take it to the dealership. Since my QX70 is out of the basic warranty I’m looking at buying an extended warranty. However there are repairs I would like to fix myself, like a door latch going bad. I think it’s a challenge to fix but will save me money.

[@k.stacks2445]

The number one thing I would hate about it is the fact I chose the slower lower end 3.7 v6 over the faster and better 5.0 v8. How do you even sleep at night? Do you purchase lower end trims on everything and you're just okay with it? I've been looking to trade my g37s for one of these, but by God I would never go with the v6 if there was a more powerful option available

[@orlandojacinto1]

K. Stacks I have no regrets about my QX70 with a V6. I decided if I was going to buy a high end trim level car with a V8, I would buy a Lexus RCF.

[@k.stacks2445]

@@orlandojacinto1 The RCF is definitely an exceptional choice indeed

[@SS-ug1qy]

Those large side mirrors and thick A pillars abstract visibility very bad. Also the blind spot I had to check it extra to make sure there’s no car or motorcycle. another thing I hate is the screen quality of the infotainment, I can kinda live with outdated software but resolution is really bad and same on these till 2018 maybe was the last year. Also no place to put ur phone anywhere if the cup holders are in-use.

[@orlandojacinto1]

S S I got use to the visibility issues. Infiniti definitely has to make improvements to their infotainment systems. Next video QX70 will address those points you mentioned.

[@kingoftampa]

Are they going to make a new QX70?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Infiniti plans to roll out an "electrified" lineup beginning in 2021. -Based on the conversations I've had with local Infiniti dealerships & Infiniti reps, as well as articles I read from the Infiniti Online Newsroom website, the new QX70 or some variant will be electric.

[@orlandojacinto1]

This 2nd generation FX35/FX37/QX70 has been around for 10 years. Infiniti just continues to refresh the front grill but overall its a solid crossover. Hopefully, Infiniti will introduce a new QX70 model in 2019 or 2020.

[@davidtersero7068]

So you’re complaining about the side view mirrors requiring you to scoot your seat up higher but really it’s the enclosure? Something you don’t even need to see in order to make turns? And the low fan setting HAS to be your filters, I’ve never had any issues feeling the heat or cooling from either seats. Also, you didn’t check that before you tried to tarnish Infiniti’s crossover brand? Get outta here sir.

[@orlandojacinto1]

David Tersero The video was made in good fun. After watching the video again and reading the comments, I definitely would have made the video a bit differently.
