Infiniti QX56 test drive since 2004 SUV
Infiniti qx56 -Perendye underground porn studio?
For two and a half million rubles, Infiniti offers a four -seater container filled with deep hatred of others, capable of driving only 300 km to the nearest gas station and strongly looks like a mobile underground porn studio. Once, Sir Paul McCartney made a grand scandal at Los Angeles Airport when they wanted to put him in a white Mercedes S-class. He yelled: Who am I to you? A drug lord? !! And he went to the parking lot.
Of some cars, I immediately want to go on foot or, at worst, sit on a minibus. But if you overpower yourself, then after two or three days you get used to it. Infiniti QX56 of those. I was also terribly ashamed to sit in the dark gray QX, just as it was embarrassed to show my face from the black Hummer and Gelandewagen. It seemed to me that everyone hated me. And that type from Renault Logan, and this old man of the rotten Muscovite, and all pedestrians without exception. Everyone who is going to ride fifty -sixth is doomed to be scared in the eyes of others, they will never think that you are a successful guy who has earned a good car, because prosecutors and party functionaries (regardless of political coloring) travel on such cars). And the ideal application for QX56 Work in escort service.
Mobile underground porn studio It is unlikely that you can buy QX just like that, passing by the car dealership. We need good reasons. For example, he practically does not fit into the underground parking. From each side, only three centimeters are left. Therefore, the representative office of Nissan holds it on the street. Where will you keep it? If under the windows of the cottage on its own land area to the hectare, then no problems. And who will drive this airship for you, a driver with maneuvering skills on a saddle tractor with a trailer?
Or maybe you yourself are so reckless that itching at the fifth point is able to calm only a five -meter three -ton with the possibility of acceleration to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds? Ok, if only in the second second you do not pass along the roof of the Daewoo Matiz, on the third one is not an extension of the disc on the asphalt crater, and at the seventh you will not be planted on the rod of the traffic police officer who cares for the safety of movement.
But it is impossible to resist the delay on the gas pedal. You can’t go all the time 90 km/h in this mode of the tachometer arrow does not go beyond 1,500 revolutions. At 140 km/h, it approaches a risk of 2500 rpm, and after 170 km/h reaches 3000 rpm. Well, the maximum passport 325 liters. With. Available at 5200 rpm. Who is ready to accelerate further? I took it, but then one of the wheels fell into the asphalt crack and QX unpleasantly wagged the stern. He made one more attempt and suddenly noticed how the arrow of gasoline consumption was rapidly approaching the dead point and a red light was lit (a slightly more than 300 km was enough). And the third attempt, after refueling, ended with such an amplitude of swing on asphalt waves that others probably thought in our car a mobile underground porn studio.
FOUR TROOPERS AND A DOG
Everything that can be written about this car is more than strange. On the one hand, it is attractive to its size. On the other hand, it is its size that is the main obstacle (I entered the sink with folded mirrors and closed my eyes so as not to see how this flimsy automatic complex will collapse). For some reason, the advertising booklet says that QX is seven-seater. I found only four seats, and in the trunk there was another bench for a medium -sized dog.
It seems to be involved in QX. But will a normal person participate in races on frantic hippos? Leaving on the highway, I always made a difficult choice: go in the right row or in the left? The right is still more comfortable. In the left is the same story as with AMG, when everyone around is one big obstacle. Where to put all the power of this beautiful motor? In QX, it is intended not only for acceleration, but also to pull the traditional deputy set: a heavy trailer with a yacht, snowmobile, an ATV and a murdered bear. But the rejection of the 5.6-liter unit is still more attractive. Give me a frozen on the wasteland! To arrange cones, take up an active taxiing? Stop-Stop-Stop. You will immediately feel: it is impossible to twist the steering wheel faster than the hydraulic wrap wants, and, as a result, you cannot fit into even a fairly wide gate at speed.

To nature with a clear conscience No matter how expensive the car is, and they will still move out of the road to it. I tried it. The transmission includes the possibility of driving in four modes: on the rear -wheel drive, Auto (when the front axle connects during slipping), AWD and AWD Low. It is useless to ride on the backdress, the wheels are all the time to break into the boxes, so immediately in Auto and, when necessary, lowered.
When hanging one of the wheels, it turned out that electronics work quite correctly. At first, it reacts as always, that is, the motor strangles and slows down the wheels, but then gives relief and the ability to act more freely. In general, QX sits not like Audi Q7, immediately and irrevocably, but only after strong and prolonged resistance.
Low and wide thresholds interfere with geometric cross -country ability. They would also be taken to nature with a clear conscience. Are we getting stuck? So in front of QX two powerful hooks. Since the car is a frame design, it can be pulled better. Just do not forget that the rear suspension is independent and it would be nice to dig up the levers before evacuation work, if unfortunately they stuck in some clay. In three days I could not get used to QX. The feeling that some Lemonian will throw a bottle of incendiary mixture from around my corner, and never passed. There was also a feeling of meaninglessness of such voluminous dimensions. Every time in the evening, coming to the parking lot, I examined this Neanderthal salon and exclaimed: did I really carry this three -room apartment behind my back all day?! This QX delights, but tires like everything is excessive. Such machines should have some kind of special task or an impossible mission, otherwise they simply shake the air and prevent everyone else from driving. I propose to catch them and release America into a natural habitat.
