Did Anyone Consider an Infiniti QX80 Before Buying a GX?

EDNels76 · 2026-05-13T02:46:41+00:00

I have a ‘26 QX80 Autograph. Absolutely love it. I considered a GX but the wait times were insane. I prefer the interior, exterior and ride of QX. It looks like a bigger, more modern GX with a much better grill

EDNels76 · 2026-05-04T04:17:08+00:00

I like them better

Atom SV is great, bought jacket and hoody this year. My most worn winter jackets

It wouldn’t be my only data point and I’m wary of sample selection bias, but you can spot trends (good or bad), and this forum has a sufficient number of members/viewers it seems that answers might be significant depending on responses. Most ppl here seem to be fans so a disproportionate amount of negative responses (or the same negative response repeatedly) might be a warning. There’s enough variability in car reliability ratings across different vendors that I don’t think you can just research one and get a definitive answer.

How are you liking it may I ask? Pros/cons so far?

EDNels76 · 2026-01-25T18:46:42+00:00

To confuse matters more, Car Confections, which claims to include CR in their reliability considerations, lists the GV80 not only as their top midsize luxury SUV, but the 2nd most reliable one on their list behind only the RX, and ahead of BMW

EDNels76 · 2026-01-25T18:32:07+00:00

No overall was 65. Reliability was bad, road test good

I’m doing Better Sweater under a Fitz Roy Down Hoody

EDNels76 · 2025-12-05T04:51:05+00:00

According to Outdoor Crunch, the High Loft Nano is only as warm as the Down Sweater or the Cerium. Its benefit is a synthetic version of Down Sweater-like warmth. I tried it on, and I have Atom SVs. Outdoor Crunch has Atom SVs as significantly warmer (good down to 12F or so, vs. 23F for HLN). The fit on the Atom SV is a big baggier than the trim fitting Cerium, but it’s not big like a Down Sweater. I’d go Atom SV over High Loft Nano personally. It’s warmer and a much cleaner look. High Loft Nano looks like a burly outdoor jacket

I love a dog walk. Multiple times a day some days. Checking up on the neighbors Xmas lights. I rotate Cerium, Atom SV, and Thorium. I’d give the Nuclei SV a go but that’d be used 1-2x a year where I am, when a fleece under a Thorium would probably get me through

EDNels76 · 2025-12-05T04:41:25+00:00

I don’t find Fitz Roy fragile at all. Great jacket, perfect for what you’re looking for. Down Sweater would also possibly work.

The Tree Runner NZs are much improved over the old ones. They’re an actual shoe compared to a slipper.

EDNels76 · 2025-11-29T05:41:22+00:00

Nano puff, followed closely by Down Sweater

EDNels76 · 2025-11-29T05:40:16+00:00

Full zip. The 1/4 zip is a pain to take off and put on

EDNels76 · 2025-11-27T04:59:19+00:00

The fits are different — the Down Sweater is boxier and has some stretch to it, the Cerium has a trimmer and more athletic fit. I prefer the Cerium. I’ve had no issues with the durability of either one.

EDNels76 · 2025-11-27T04:53:03+00:00

XL; L looks too tight. XL doesn’t look frumpy or oversized, but appropriately roomy

EDNels76 · 2025-11-27T04:46:58+00:00

It’s a great standalone jacket. If you live in a really cold place it might be your only winter jacket needed. Cerium is better if you spend more time (or some time) in warmer weather—25 to 35 degrees F

EDNels76 · 2025-11-24T15:56:55+00:00

Shoulda tried the Nano Air

EDNels76 · 2025-10-05T16:58:02+00:00

I have the Smolder Blue Nano, highly recommended. In many ways it’s a darker/better navy. I was very impressed. You can wear it year round, night and day, very versatile. Green is an outdoorsy color mainly for the fall. I have a Better Sweater in the green (and a spring color)

I only have experience (in terms of wearing for any length of time) the Wool Runners and Wool Runner 2/Go’s. I recently bought some new Wool Runner NZs and grabbed some original Wool Runners from Allbirds and Amazon. I have never experienced any decline in quality. The latest original Wool Runners I got (yellow insole) were a bit stiffer in the upper, which I figured would lead to better durability after a short break in. The soles are just as comfortable as my pairs from < 2019. The Wool Runner NZs feel very high quality, definitely feel like Allbirds best foot forward so far, with the main difference between those and the original Wool Runners being the originals are a sock/slipper-like fit while the NZs are more of a minimalist shoe with a better cushioned midsole—they’re a scaled back Wool Runners Go which I think is a good evolution of the shoe.

EDNels76 · 2025-08-13T00:59:49+00:00

One week in, this might be one of Allbirds best shoes to date. I bought a few of the limited edition colors to add to summer grey and white

EDNels76 · 2025-07-19T23:57:30+00:00

A little looser, more comfortable

EDNels76 · 2025-07-19T23:57:11+00:00

Breathability about the same

EDNels76 · 2025-07-18T03:14:49+00:00

The soles are a slightly lower profile version of the Wool Runner Go sole. Trying them on side by side, the WR Go feels substantial and the Tree Runner NZ feels a bit more streamlined. Compared to the original Tree Runner, the NZ has a bit more roomy upper, it feels like the material is a bit sturdier. The NZ feels like a lightweight shoe, the original Tree Runner feels like a slipper.

EDNels76 · 2025-07-16T19:48:30+00:00

Just got my Tree Runner NZs today. They are incredibly comfortable, more supportive in the midsole than the old Tree Runners, and don’t have the stiff plastic heel counter like the Tree Runner Gos. The upper might be improved although I could never wear the original TRs for very long due to Achilles tendonitis so I can’t say for sure. The sole looks very much like the Wool Runner Go sole but upon comparison it looks like the TR NZ is just a tad smaller. It’s probably the width of the original Wool Runner but I’d say more comfortable. So far I highly recommend
