Not lately it doesn’t, at least on the truck end of things. Assume though all those issues will eventually be ironed out and we’ve got “old” trucks in 2035 with the powertrains from now.
If Nissan can improve the quality of their core products while also maintaining they're competitive pricing. Sooner or later, it will pay off. However, the company has never been too consistent
Either way, I think Infiniti is done for at this stage
You honestly get used to it within less than a week. It's great if you've been clamoring for the old feel of a true hydraulic rack like half of this sub has.
Most of r/cars does. I’ve noticed that it’s pretty much this subreddits favorite midsized truck. Mainly due to the superb, best in class value and good reliability
It's the exact same size as the others. They're all about 73-76" wide, 72" tall, and 210-212" long (in crew cab short bed form).
It's got an "older" style to it though, that might help it feel not as overbearing (bordering on gaudy) like the rest of the class though.
It used to be that Infiniti offered the performance and tech of BMW, with a tradeoff of reduced interior quality for reduced price. Now they cost the same but with still Infiniti interiors
It used to be a decent brand, now their lineup is a joke
The QX50 and QX55 are worse than the Rogue
The QX60 is worse than the Pathfinder
The QX80 is worse than the Armada
Seriously, I think the brand should just become a luxury trim for Nissan. Similar to Denali and GMC
If Infiniti can get some cool vehicles that aren't fleet cars they'll be fine. Keep the QX80, bring back the Skyline G cars, make the GTR have an Infiniti version, make a nicer midsize SUV, and they'll be fine
Puh I remember my grandfathers euro Almera Diesel from 1995. grey outside and grey fabric seats inside with all grey plastic. 75HP Diesel without a turbo. Sounded like a tractor. It could propel the car forwards and backwards. Merging into traffic required a prayer.
I’m gonna continue to sleep on them until they get rid of their god awful cvts. I already dislike cvts on how they behave, add in the spotty reliability of Nissans and is all just telling me that their bean counters have more say in their products than their engineers. Frankly, it doesn’t matter what industry or product you are taking about that is a sure recipe for poorly made products and you can see examples from Boeing to Panera.
They already dont have a CVT on half of their lineup, most of the non-sedans Nissan sells are real transmission vehicles. And even then they make a good CVT not, equal to if not better than what everyone else sells, for what its worth without the shitty gen 1 and gen 2 CVTs we wouldnt have modern and reliable CVT transmissions now
Honestly there is only one style of CVT that I would consider reliable and it’s the planetary gearset hybrid system that Toyota and Ford use. You couldn’t pay me to seriously consider any other kind of CVT no matter what manufacturer offered it.
CVT are plenty reliable when they're not being driven like a 2009 Nissan Altima, as long as you're not beating the shit out of the car and change your fluid ever 30-50k miles it usually they wont have any issues lasting.
