Cargo capacity wasnt as good as the QX4 that it replaced, and it takes alot of knocks in the automotive press for lack of rear seat room, but we could still get 10 bales of pine straw in it, or a couple 70# dogs (ad line: dogs love trucks)

My biggest beef was that you couldn't program the nav system while moving, but that's not exclusive to Infiniti - BMW seems to be the exception rather than the rule on that ability these days.

Enjoy it, we certainly did ours
Thanks! Yeah I read a lot of people complain about the back seat. For us its no issue since we don't have kids or anything. Honestly we would probably leave them folded down all the time for the extra cargo space anyways.

The nav thing is kinda annoying but I do believe there is a hack for it. Might do that one day.
