Hey! Thanks for looking at my page! You are looking at my 1999.5 Infiniti Qx4. Before you go on, please rate my car, and comment what I should do to it! It sure is hard to find after market parts for it, but ill do my best! If you have looked at my other cars on Car Domain you will see that I own a 1992 Toyota Previa. I inherited that van when I turned 16. Let me tell you, the “joke” of driving a van was over very fast for me. It has a little 2.4l inline 4 and regardless, it’s not exactly what a 17 year old high-school male wants to be seen in. I was tired of getting crap for it so I bugged my parents for about a year and we agreed upon this car. I wanted a Ford Mustang GT, with the loud V8 and off road X-pipe. I had it all laid out, I created a PowerPoint for my parents telling them how I could make the Mustang work. They listened and then told me that I was getting a Qx4. you can imagine my face, sweet mom and dad…..I am getting a cute girl car. They thought I would kill myself with the GT and they probably were correct. The “little girl’s car” that I received was from a neighbor. I got it for 9,600$.the car originally retailed for $35,550. The owner had just bought a Toyota Land Cruiser and decided to sell this car. In the last few years of the previous owner using the car they had not really driven it at all and if they did it was only for mid-range trips. The car was in amazing shape when I got it with only 74,000 miles on it for a 1999/2000 car (less than 10,000 a year). I am not going to lie, seeing it all shiny sitting in the driveway when I first got it was really cool. I loved how it looked. But now that I have put 4,000 miles on it, I have some complaints. First I will start with the engine, a 170hp V6. This engine belongs in a CAR that weighs 500 pounds lighter. It is underpowered to say the least and get INCREADBLY poor gas mileage. What kind of gas mileage would you expect for a car like this, maybe 16 miles per gallon? Heck in the manual it claims 15-19. That’s the biggest crap ever. I have measured it and I have never gotten 14mpg. The highest was 12.5 miles per gallon. Sure I am 17 and might have a little lead foot, but please a hummer can do better!
