I am a 2009 FX owner, it's safe to say that lots of us will be upgrading to a QX70 in the future. They drive very nicely for an SUV. It's a shame they're so rare. Thanks for the review!
I have a 2010 FX 35 with 90K and honestly I don't have a real reason to swap for a QX 70. If I find a low mileage example with the premium package or better I might shoot for it.
I bought a black 2014 QX70S 5.0 lease return (since the 5.0 was no longer available) in Feb 2017. Running it with a Borla exhaust and new P275/45R21 V Continentals. Currently have 79,650 miles on the clock. Awesome car! It replaced our 2009 G37x which we owned from new. Would like to see Nissan/Infiniti come out with a performance all electric 700-800hp hi-tech retro replacement in a couple years time to trade up to!
The QX70 in your video is identical to my 2014 QX70 that I bought brand new. To this day it has never been in the shop. Oil changes and battery changes only, plus 1 set of new tires. Ride and power are awesome. This is my 3rd Infiniti.
Congratulations! Apart from being a few years newer, what do you think of the 2010 versus 2015? I have been saying to people that although they're both V6s, I felt like the 3.7 engine seems to work in better harmony with this chassis.
I want the qx70 5.0 so bad it’s my dream car XD idk why but I love the way they look and the way they drive, ide probably settle for a m56/q70 5.6 cus like you said even just normal fx50’s are har hard to find :(
I always encourage people to test drive their dream cars. Even a regular FX50 if you can find one. Sometimes we spend so much time obsessing over a certain vehicle and when we finally get it the experiencing is underwhelming. Have you driven any of the 5.6 sedans yet?
No I’ve never driven any of them because there hasn’t been one for sale in my area for a very long time. And you are very right, I really do wanna test drive them to make sure. I currently drive a q50 hybrid.
Great video EdBwoy. Still rocking with Infiniti!! I finally let the Q45 go, and now busting my knuckles up on a 2004 G35 Coupe (manual). I love it! Working on getting my 2J swapped 240sx running also. Thanks for all your knowledge and help with the F50. It would not have ran so good and for so long with out your know how.
I can't believe you got rid of the Q45 though. I bet it was a pleasant surprise for your clients being as old as it was yet so nice. Are you still in the business? I guess the swapped 240 will be a conversation piece as well. Lol
@@EdBwoy the Q45 is an underrated LEGEND! I'm still in business. I've got the 240 wiring almost complete now. Soon it will be a conversation piece. I've got to look thru your videos. I'm wondering what ever became of that boosted Q you had!!
@@KieranJackson213 I had had the supercharged Q posted for some time but ended up selling it recently, maybe a month ago. The new owner is making a lot of moves with it, I am glad it's not just sitting in my driveway anymore
Wow that was quite the deep dive into your state of mind during purchase 😁 but your thought process is very logical. I think you made the right move at the right time, especially since you know the FX/QX platform so well. I'm surprised you were not a big fan of the FX35, I owned that car for 12 years and it was even more nimble and sounds bad ass stock compared to the QX70. I remember watching your M videos years back hoping you would purchase that SUV.... haha.
Thanks. These are usually big investments to me. If I like it, then I'm going to go deep into them. I have watched the FX platform (both 1st and 2nd gen) for years but didn't really like the 1st gen. It wasn't so much the power, but I didn't like their look and most importantly how they rode. I know the handling was good for an SUV, but that didn't seem enough to sway me enough.
I liked the 2nd generation more - both in looks, features and the balance of ride and handling. I didn't like how the 3.5HR engine worked with the early models (2009-2012) so that's the FX35 I was referring to in the video. I think the 3.7 engine works better for the kind of engagement I like.
My mechanical background dictated rear wheel drive, That made working on the engine easy, Auto transmission, not a CVT. Overall very simple to maintain
May want to mention the transmission difference with the the FX models vs Murano (and other Nissan products). The lack of CVT is why we own 4 Infinitis, I was looking at Rogues for a while before finding the FX35 for daughter's first car. I couldn't trust her to eventually maintain the CVT properly when on her own.
Heck, even I can't trust myself with the CVT. I had actually covered this in a different video where I was comparing the QX70 versus the Murano. It's an interesting series for people who would be in the market comparing the two. For example, the Nissan options (Rogue and Murano) are much more spacious and utilize it well. The FX/QX70 is simply a more engaging drivers car
Do I say Ed is addicted to Infiniti cars? Ed should be a brand Ambassador for Nissan/Infiniti. Love all your machines. Do you own all these Infiniti cars shown in this video?
I do like what Nissan did with a lot of the Infiniti models. I've tried a few different brands over the years, but I came to settle on the M particularly, and I've been branching out to others like the FX.
I’m 19 and bought a 2011 FX35 in December. I’m in love with it but those QX70’s are nice… gotta let the market go down before I can get my hands on it though
First off great collection. Greaaat collection. I mean it. M37s is the only thing i would add. Minus one of the m56 lol. But yeah u really answered sooo many questions for me. I mean u actually answered everything i was going to ask. But no paddles in this one. Im hurt. And they should have put the 5.6 in it. And the speakers in the seats. I have a qx50. 2016 and when i say that thing has me in its grips. Whoo. I love it. Das y im doing research on the qx70. But i was looking and looking and said wtf this truck is harder to find than the m56. Its impossible to find a v8. Smh. But anyway. Man i love ur channel. Also thanks for all the info. Others might think u were rambling (who dont know what ur talking about) but i actually took it all in. Thnx again. Ur great. And if u ever wanna give to the needy. M56s is my dream car. Id offer to buy it. But what i can afford would be an insult. Lol
Thank you for the kind words! I wanted to get an M37, but I was vetoed in that unfortunately. I also wanted a QX50, but maybe one day if I win the lottery I'll get that too. The 3.7 is a nice engine. And although it gets the QX70 going, I thought the QX50 was a better pairing for it based on my test drives.
And I am glad you found the info useful. If I think something is important, I post a video...even if only 3 people will find it valuable. It can be a thankless job, but I focus on the positives and keep it pushing. 600+ videos so far
Wow, an Infinite fan. I own an M37 previously and fell in love with Infinities. I found a 2013 100K miles FX50S, Single owner, in fantastic condition. The seller is asking for 27K. I offered 22K max. Given your experience, I am interested to know your thoughts.
I know the market on other contemporary vehicles might make it seem like $27k is a lot of money for a 9 year-old vehicle (heck, even $22k might seem like a lot of money for a car with 100k miles), but I think the FX is good value for money. They were not cheap brand new, and apart from the mileage, they still retain their inherent engineering and design charm. But - *and this is a big "BUT"* - this only matters if you really like the car. I usually advise people that it might seem like nice prize to dream for because we are Infiniti people, but once you actually own one you find that it doesn't suit you.
All this to say, try to find an FX you can test drive first. Once you get a good feel, you'll be able to tell whether you really want one (at any cost) or whether you don't like it and wouldn't even buy one even if they were asking for $10k.
Hi love your videos. another Infiniti enthusiast here. i just lost my beloved 16 QX50 due accident where some lady tboned me and totalled my vehicle so im on the marhet for QX70 this time. Im looking at private sale of 17 QX70S with 60K miles on it for offered for $25.9 vehicle looks realy nice with premium package and of coursw sports package hence the S version. my understanding is that they are all galvanized steel metal made. How is the frame itself holding up in climate where they use salt in winter? How is the vehicle over all for reliability? my QX50 had few minor quirks, latest beeing that pass door would not open from outside (relatively easy fix). so what do you think? thanks in advance Greg
literally buying a white Qx70 2015 tomorrow. Stereo is my only concern and leg room for kids. need new stereo and it looks like a massive pain in the bum.
great video.. i am going back and forthbetween not getting a v8. my question to you is, if you could not find a fx50, what other v8 did infinity use and what year do i eed to seek out??????
In my somewhat biased opinion, they are quite reliable. I know this might sound a little biased but I have had Toyota products with issues that most owners seem to take in stride. So for these V6 QX70/FX models, the only things to watch out for are sunroof drain issues and very rarely transmission issues. Things that you can usually catch in a test drive
I had a few Q45 in the past, but I have since gotten rid of them. I found that when it comes to Infiniti, I mostly tend to lean towards their sportier offerings
What if it makes a thunk noise when shifting from park to reverse or from park to drive and it sounds like its coming from rear on a rear wheel drive? What could that be? Other than that drives smooth on highway and responsive.
Hi! Great video-I’m shopping for a small SUV for my new teen driver. Just came across a one owner 2015 QX70 sport with 50,000 miles. Never owned an Infiniti-we tend to drive/keep cars for 200,000K miles & wondering your thoughts on this for a teen driver? Thank you!!
Thank you! I think it would be a great vehicle for a teen, whether it be a first vehicle or a "next step" vehicle. 1. They are generally reliable (the 3.7 engine was used in a lot of Nissan products), and that dependability goes beyond the engine 2. They are fun to drive, since they are made on a sporty platform 3. They are safe. Depending on the package yours has, you might get a lot of additional tech features like intelligent cruise control, lane departure warning and forward collision warning. Those are great for the cases where you as the driver are inattentive; but even for the unavoidable events when you are the victim, the vehicle is built very well to protect it's occupants. 4. The only downside might be the fuel economy. It is not bad for the kind of vehicle that it is, but there are other small SUVs with better gas mileage. However, in the grand scheme of things, we like it.
use the euro grade 5W40. if you're further south, where it's warmer, use a thicker grade. walmart has a good synthetic at a good price. the fuel economy is very slightly better with the 5W30 weight but oil consumption is significantly higher.
I have a 2013 fx37 and I was thinking about changing the grill to the bumble bee hide that come on the 2017 qx70 my question is are they the same size and is it an easy job to do?
@@EdBwoy thank you so much for the response bro watchingbyiur videos is the reason why I purchased an fx 37 it's been 2 months now since purchased love it one thing you were right about it doesnt drive smooth lol
I looked at them, but they seemed to cost way too much for what I wanted out of a vehicle. Plus none of those I came across had the tech package, and that to me was a bigger deal.
Believe it or not, the EX is one of my dream cars. The prices are crazy right now, but if I get close to a good one, I'll do my best to share some content.
@@gudalawrence3746 I usually see the EX as a lifestyle vehicle. They look good and handle very well, but I am not ready to pay thousands more for a similar FX or QX70. I guess it kind of is my fault for being picky on the exact EX I am looking for, haha
@@gudalawrence3746 do you guys have the long wheel base EX as well? In the US, that's what we got as the 2016 and 2017 model year QX50. That's what I want
Nice collection man! I have wanted one of these for such a long time and finally in the market for one. My only concern is, what is your experience with repairs/ gen. maintenance for these given that they have been phased out? are parts hard to find and are independent mechanics comfortable working them?
We got rid of it for a larger SUV, but maintenance was not difficult or complicated. Thankfully, Nissan V6s are very common and their transmissions are shared with other vehicles. There isn't much on the power train that cannot be solved in town or at least within an hour of these small towns I live in. Nissan dealerships can handle almost anything you take to them.
Outside of that, thankfully the other systems are pretty robust and not too much tends to go wrong with them. Just keep an eye out for water intrusion on the older model, as it can short your modules.
These were the last of the good Infiniti line up. One thing is the Infiniti black paint is a PIA to maintain if you are particular about swirls or spider webbing. Most black cars are, but the paint they use is really a PIA even compared to other makes, it is easily marred with the slightest thing. The new line up they have is just trash all around. They look like plain commuter cars now. Their SUVs look like trash, their sedans are ugly. Infiniti really lost the momentum it had, whoever they have leading the design team now is a fool for changing things in the wrong direction. They could have continued and made some really futuristic design concepts and toned them down a bit for production, instead they went the safe route and now you have a bland and flat line up of junk that doesnt really even stand out against its competition. These were the last of the exciting Infiniti's. I guess NIssan decided to not make nice looking vehicles anymore. They just stopped, look at the ugly line up now, its a real shame.
No problem, glad to help. The front seats were comfortable especially with the seats all the way back, but that meant the rear seats got very little legroom...in case you have passengers back there.
If you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay I’m looking at one with the same miles same year same model but they’re asking 19K is that a good deal
Sorry I missed your comment when you posted it. Mine was bought at the height of the used car market, and they were asking for maybe $18k It was a great price, considering it was everything we wanted at the time. Obviously, things have changed a lot since

Are these reliable as the Lexus? I always wanted one but the reliability seemed to be a concern.

Do you have any oil consumption, and what kind of oil are you using, likeviscosity?
use the euro grade 5W40. if you're further south, where it's warmer, use a thicker grade.
walmart has a good synthetic at a good price. the fuel economy is very slightly better with the 5W30 weight but oil consumption is significantly higher.
I have a 2013 fx37 and I was thinking about changing the grill to the bumble bee hide that come on the 2017 qx70 my question is are they the same size and is it an easy job to do?
The upgraded honeycomb grille should fit on a 2013 bumper cover, and it is something you can do with simple garage tools
@@EdBwoy thank you so much for the response bro watchingbyiur videos is the reason why I purchased an fx 37 it's been 2 months now since purchased love it one thing you were right about it doesnt drive smooth lol
Thanks boss
Did you entertain or come across any QX70 LIMITED for consideration?
I looked at them, but they seemed to cost way too much for what I wanted out of a vehicle. Plus none of those I came across had the tech package, and that to me was a bigger deal.
There are qx70s that are 5.0 I think only for 2015 they are their
Do you have any answers for a 2012 m37x passenger seat , light not coming on or heating/cooling.. I did change a few of the fuses. But still nothing
You might need to pull the wires and look at them closely. Those cars have been having issues with terminals melting
Ok thank you
Have you done a video on an EX35/37? if not can you do one for the channel. 🙏🏾
Believe it or not, the EX is one of my dream cars. The prices are crazy right now, but if I get close to a good one, I'll do my best to share some content.
@@EdBwoy wow that’s nice to know. Even in my country the EX on the used market are more expensive that the first and 2nd Gen FX35’s most times.
@@gudalawrence3746 I usually see the EX as a lifestyle vehicle. They look good and handle very well, but I am not ready to pay thousands more for a similar FX or QX70.
I guess it kind of is my fault for being picky on the exact EX I am looking for, haha
@@EdBwoy 😁😁, I too will not be paying more for an EX over the price of an FX.
@@gudalawrence3746 do you guys have the long wheel base EX as well?
In the US, that's what we got as the 2016 and 2017 model year QX50. That's what I want
Watching the hand talk
It's prettier than my face. It's gonna have to do for now. Lol
Stance and wheels 22"
You get nothing but BIG infinities 😂🙏🏽
Nice collection man! I have wanted one of these for such a long time and finally in the market for one. My only concern is, what is your experience with repairs/ gen. maintenance for these given that they have been phased out? are parts hard to find and are independent mechanics comfortable working them?
We got rid of it for a larger SUV, but maintenance was not difficult or complicated. Thankfully, Nissan V6s are very common and their transmissions are shared with other vehicles. There isn't much on the power train that cannot be solved in town or at least within an hour of these small towns I live in.
Nissan dealerships can handle almost anything you take to them.
Outside of that, thankfully the other systems are pretty robust and not too much tends to go wrong with them.
Just keep an eye out for water intrusion on the older model, as it can short your modules.
@@EdBwoy awesome, nice to hear!
@@EdBwoy thx for the heads up
ur whole driveway is a Nissan dealership!
Beautiful
Thank you!
These were the last of the good Infiniti line up. One thing is the Infiniti black paint is a PIA to maintain if you are particular about swirls or spider webbing. Most black cars are, but the paint they use is really a PIA even compared to other makes, it is easily marred with the slightest thing.
The new line up they have is just trash all around. They look like plain commuter cars now. Their SUVs look like trash, their sedans are ugly. Infiniti really lost the momentum it had, whoever they have leading the design team now is a fool for changing things in the wrong direction. They could have continued and made some really futuristic design concepts and toned them down a bit for production, instead they went the safe route and now you have a bland and flat line up of junk that doesnt really even stand out against its competition. These were the last of the exciting Infiniti's. I guess NIssan decided to not make nice looking vehicles anymore. They just stopped, look at the ugly line up now, its a real shame.
JUST DON'T PUT H & R LOWEINGS SPRINGS --- ON - I DID SMALL (1") DROP ON MY 2013 FX37 & IT RIDES LIKE F SHIT! JUST WAISTED $2K! DONT DO IT!
What about coilovers?
Man that long video and you stop recording at the best part smdh
I try my best to title my videos accurately to the content
Dude you really ramble on
OK.
How tall are you? I'm 6'5
I am 6'2"
@@EdBwoy thanks for responding. I just wanted to know if I could fit in the QX70
No problem, glad to help. The front seats were comfortable especially with the seats all the way back, but that meant the rear seats got very little legroom...in case you have passengers back there.
If you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay I’m looking at one with the same miles same year same model but they’re asking 19K is that a good deal
Sorry I missed your comment when you posted it. Mine was bought at the height of the used car market, and they were asking for maybe $18k
It was a great price, considering it was everything we wanted at the time. Obviously, things have changed a lot since
