 I decided to purchase a 2001 QX4 based 
on three factors: 1. I wanted a SUV 
w/4WD, 2. It's distintive and elegant, 
and you won't see one every fifth 
vehicle you pass on the road, and 3. 
Postive eviews, both professional and 
consumer.  As advertised, the QX4 is 
everything others have noted, both good 
and not so good.  The not so good - 
extremely disappointing gas mileage, 
back seat is tight, the Bose stereo 
system is good but not great and the 
steering wheel audio controls are 
awkward and limited in function.  
Overall, I would absolutely recommend 
the QX4!
