Infiniti QX80

[Ja Rhule]

So my wife informed me she wants a 3rd kid by the time she's 30... (soo within 2 years).  We have a 2015 MDX but looks like we will need a bigger car (MDX won't fit 3 car seats).  My wife really likes Infiniti QX80... Does anyone know if this car is a good buy?

i don't know much about the Vehicle but unless you're bringing in serious dough a brand new luxury SUV would be too pricey for me. a Toyota Sequoia or Honda Pilot would be 95% as nice but probably 30% cheaper?

My wife is due for a new vehicle and I told her she could get whatever she wants, but she says she's getting another minivan because they are big but cheaper and better on gas than an SUV I love that woman

Personally, I wouldn't ever own a Nissan product, but to each his own.

 

I would get a Yukon or a Lexus.

Nonsense - your MDX will fit 3 car seats just fine. Look into Diono Radian or Radian RXT seats, which can be either rear- or forward-facing; we have a 4, 3, and 1 year old and they fit comfortably in the back of my Subaru Legacy sedan using a couple of these seats and an infant carrier, and we even fit 3 across in our old Ford Focus using these.

Additionally, as someone with three kids it's a pain in the ass to constantly have to access a third row (not to mention the loss of cargo space). If you're serious about getting something else, get a van and be done with it. There isn't a third-row vehicle out there that can match the convenience, configuration flexibility, and overall utility of a van.

For your MDX:

I believe based on having an MDX and then wanting a QX60, perhaps your wife just wants a luxury SUV. The only other cars that I believe can rival the QX60 based on price and luxury is the Lexus LX. The Audi Q7 is German and the Mazda CX-9 and the completely redesigned Honda Pilot are spacious but not as luxurious.

Mazda interior quality is amazing though

Arsen, your wife obviously didn't even come close to winning the lottery when she married you. Infact I would say shes being punished.  Buy her whatever dam car she wants. Shes earned it.

We have a tundra and a lexus rx. The Lexus is paid off and my wife's. I'd be hard pressed getting rid of free and something that can go another 4 years.

 

My cousin has an Audi Q7 that had a 3rd row and I liked it but I would pry like to drive the Lexus GX too. If I was looking to gain space.

Tell your wife you decided you will only buy cars made in the Ukraine.

 

Then get one of these:
