A 265-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 hooked to a continuously variable transmission and front wheel drive. The unremarkable output is proof that the JX doesnt take a more is more philosophy across the board, and the transmission has the dubious honor of being Infinitis first CVT. It is sport-tuned (we never received a good definition of what this means) and will do an impersonation of a six-speed automatic. This mimicry is accomplished with a lack of success similar to a tofu dog subbing in for a bratwurst. The shift lever has a manual gate for on-demand ratio selection, and the Drive Mode Selectors Sport setting will cause it to click off shifts from one faux gear to the next. Well, it more slurs than clicks, as it basically interrupts power momentarily before picking up where it left off. That said, this is easily the best CVT on the market, and its better than a few actual automatics.This vehicle is Certified Pre-Owned and is eligible for our third party warranty program.
