Qx56 vs qx80
So, enjoying this thread a lot. Was hoping I would find something like this.
***IMPORTANT MESSAGE FIRST *** anyone going from the "old style QX56" to a newer QX56 or QX80 MUST be mindful when they open their tailgate in their garage for the first time.
I know have a nice deep gouge in the upper tailgate molding from the garage door opener metal something or another that it hit on the way up. Just saying BE CAREFUL!!! I can buy a new molding for $950, or repair for $280. Expensive lesson to learn
Anyway, loving my new QX80, but also do miss my 2008 QX56.
What I Like:
Interior is like night and day versus QX56
ventilated seats
Better acceleration
no side chrome
not having a video screen in the way of my view out the rear window
bluetooth streaming (when it works)
Infiniti Connection nice to have
Seat back pockets are nice addition (because,,,,[see first dislike])
adaptive headlights
remote start
expansive views
tip down side view mirrors
What I dislike:
DISSSMALLLL small storage space(s) versus the older generation for such a large vehicle
steering is even lighter than the 08 QX.
DOOOOOOR LOCKKKKKKKSSSSSS (U GET LOCKED IN)
where did my compass in the mirror go
why can't a digit speedo be included in the center instrumt panel LCD display
rear camera doesnt seem to be as clear or helpful as previous
side cams CANT SEE IN DARKNESS
wish it still had intermitt wiper option
Bluetooth streaming seems to work ONLY IF i TURN OFF, THEN ON, THE IPHONE BT
The LDP, DCA, BSW/I seem to default to off and must be turned on each time you start vehicle
Seems voice activated telephone more "needy" than previous QX. Takes longer to place call, even with the optional alternative voice control (eg. more menus)
Small side door storage space
nav voice doesnt decrease stereo volume anymore when giving directions
warning beeps are not very loud
Okay, there are more pluses and minuses but thats plenty for now. Yes, I realize that once I read the manual for the THIRD time, that maybe I will find that I am doing some things wrong, but for now, that is my list.
