Just wanted to check back in with folks here. I took delivery of my 2011 QX in July of 2010 (the first for my dealership). I can happily report that in 30,000 miles the only issue I have encountered was a slightly discharged battery. My Truck is fully loaded Tech/DeluxTour/theater/illuminated kick plates/Delux matts/CargoProtector/ etc... Everything has held up well! The only annoyance is in direct/bright sunlight IBA some times deactivates itself as the sensor can't effectively scan the road ahead.

I have wheat interior that still looks brand new because I am diligent with the Lexol conditioner and Cleaner. My exterior is excellent as well. I have a black truck - that is admittedly a pain in the arse to keep up - No automated washes here only hand washed most of the time by me personally + multiple coats of Pinnacle Souvereign Carnuba, AutoGlym and Zymol Carbon (< early on.) I have a dent guy so it costs me at the most $35 to pull a ding - so all panels are straight as and blemish free. I park at the end of the parking lot so its not really an issue for me. The last ding was due to a gust of wind blowing the heavy door from convertible into the side of the QX - which has soft doors.

When I first bought my truck July of 2010 there were basically none on the road, now I see them quite regularly - I hear Hertz rents them in my area (Miami, FL) for about $250.00 a day.

The QX is a solid contender, it can serve as that Luxury Sedan/Luxury SUV in the same breath without skipping a beat. Feel satisfied that you made a solid choice ;)

In closing... I will need tires in about another 1k or so - after 30k the OEM Dueller HT's are ready to be retired:)
 
great post! i have a 2012 i picked up in october 2011. car was made in september. im on 6K miles and its my daily driver.

black on black all options.

ive only seen the IBA deactivating when i bright sunlight as well. its happened just a couple of times but i figured it was due to the sunlight. your post just confirmed that for me.

yeah here in los angeles, they rent them as well. not sure the cost but perhaps the same or more i would guess.

i wash the car every friday. it doesnt rain here in socal but does get dusty :d i also detail it after every wash. its therapeutic for me.

one thing though, the coin op wash i use has a dryer hose that blows forced air to help dry the car. well when trying to dry off the top, the plastic hose hit up against the door and caused a few light scratches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do i need to see about getting those small light scratches fixed! its on the back rear door. :(

other than the IBA thing, nothing has been an issue for me. i only see range rovers here and have only seen perhaps at most 3-4 QXs. that makes me happy! :D

Meguiars "Scratch X" is a readily available product that is not bad for light scratches.

How often do you use the Lexol? I have wheat interior also and the problem for me is scuff marks in the area between the door sill and the floor mats.

That is good to hear Car_Fan. Yeah this QX is a horse!
Let me ask you about the tires. Did the tire/road noise increase to annoying levels to where you wanted to get rid of the tires sooner?

They are pretty quiet for me right now, but I wonder about Bridgestone?

Thanks for your report
