That dash is very dated. I liked it when it first came out, but now ....not so much. That dual console display should be one smooth piece and not broken up like that. The back seat; I don't know how tall or short you are but your knees were right up against the front seat. As for the engine - all you said was CV, right? So it is basically the same poor choice of a power plant from previous years. I owned a brand new FX35 back in the day with a V6, 270HP. I luved that vehicle. Infiniti knows what to do to make their QX55 a real contender, but for some reason the keep missing the mark year after year.
