This is our 8th Nissan product, and first Infiniti. We never had mechanical issues on any of the, and two made it over 300K miles without major repairs. We traded a fully loaded 2010 Armada Platinum fo the JX, and as much as I liked the Armada, I can see the quality differences in the Infiniti line. I like the fact that you get a nice loaner when you take your car in for service too. see full Infiniti JX review |

It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review |

I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review |
