 I would say that the QX4 is a leap 
ahead of the N. Pathfinder.  Its 
interior and body molding were superb.  
I do have a problem with the Horrible 
gas mileage and stiff steering.  While 
I owned this vehicle I had to get the 
emmissions corrected twice and both 
front struts had to be replaced.  
Maintenance on this vehicle is 
expensive.  If I had to do it over 
again I would've bought a Denali 
instead, or maybe a used Jag XJ6.  One 
last thing if you like putting up hills 
at five m/h then this is the car for 
you.
