Not bad at all

2007 Infiniti M35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

So far the car is great, love the navigation and the voice commands. My bluetooth is flawless and clear. The high intensity lights are amazing, very comfy ride with a 3.5 v6 backing you up when you need it. It could be a little more sporty, like the G35 but over all you will turn heads inside and outside the car. So far I am not trilled with the dealers service, I had an acura and I was treated like royalty. Infiniti seems to fight you on every issue and I found most representatives rude (except my sales guy). The M35 is a great value for the money you pay. Psx2 no ipod connection!! Grrrrrr.

Favorite Features

Headlight, Nav., voice commands, blueth. Looks and feel inside and out. V6 engine, rims, keyless entry. Auto adjustment of wheel and seat for two drivers (very fancy). Very nice ac system.

Suggested Improvements

Come on, gas, gas, gas. Please do better than 18mpg. Where is the ipod connection? Are they kidding? Who uses cds anymore? Infiniti's service manners, we just bought a rather expensive car, you are not doing us a favor!!!

Do not buy Infiniti

Review

I got my M35X only because I am 6 foot 2 inch tall and it seemed to be roomy from inside and after driving it for few thousands miles I noted that the engine is very noisy with annoying riddling noise, took it to the dealer and they changed the intake, did solve the problem, changed the exhaust did not solve the problem, so finally they called it a character of the cars and I have to accept that, I will try to trade it for any other car. So my advice is to stay away from any Infiniti. I don't recommend it at all. Be smart and pay a little more and get a better car to enjoy not to spend a lot of time in the dealership or over the phone to work on the car. It is bad bad bad quality cars.

Pleased overall

Review

I had no interest in this car, looked at it merely to appease my husband. Thought it was too big but after sitting in it, I decided I had to test drive it. After test driving it, I was sold. Nearly 2 years later I am still mostly pleased. I find the exterior design a little boring and sometimes feel it looks like an over-priced, glorified Nissan. Interior is beautiful, very comfortable and roomy. ISSUES: All my wood-panel veneers (on doors) popped off, had to be replaced. Have trouble with programmed seats (using key), begins adjusting as programmed then just stops. Always had a noticeable miss/hesitation at @ 38 mph, dealer says nothing is wrong.

Favorite Features

Vehicle size, interior roominess, ergonomics, navigation, rear camera, ease of driving, keyless entry/start, overall comfort, AWD.

Suggested Improvements

Bluetooth is unclear, gas mileage, needs 6 speed, sunroof is painfully slow opening/closing, adaptive cruise control can be dangerous, stereo is great only with surround sound DVD (DVD-A) otherwise mediocre, exterior could be a little more luxurious looking, little less Nissan looking.

New kid on the block

Review

Only had the car 2 months. Cert Pre- Owned with 6400 miles. Questioned the low mileage as feasible but all appears in order. Dealer repolished all 4 scraped rims, fixed driver door actuator and rear door plate. Took almost two weeks but satisfied now. Had a Volvo prior (174K) which had made me antsy about the high rpm revving (3-4K) of this vehicle (normal?) when going stop to say 25-30 mph. Other than the above, satisfied with the car, radio, gps, a/c, etc... Knew mileage would be low going in. Will see how things go as time and miles build up. Have put 2K miles in the 8 wks I have had the car. Have put the Volvo out of mind weeks ago, hopefully will last as long... time wise...

Favorite Features

Roominess for my frame (6'3"/210lb) and I like the width of the interior. Originally looked at the G35/37, but after driving the G37x as a loaner for almost two wks, glad I got the M35. G37 was much narrower. Extra features like bluetooth comes in handy especially when you're passing the police.

Suggested Improvements

Am I the only tall person whose right knee hits the radio/volume on/off switch? Engine noise seems louder than it should be. Not a mechanic but car should not rev as high from stop to start in regular traffic. May have to lower my seat but my head hits the top of the door with exiting.

Couldn't be happier

Review

CPO car bought with very low miles. 10,700 after two years. Car looks and drives brand new and I couldn't be happier with the performance of the car so far. It is fast and comfortable and looks sharp. Handles well too and the balance between ride and handling is excellent.

Favorite Features

Everything but the tires.

Suggested Improvements

Put better tires on the car from the factory. Goodyears RS are really terrible.

Still holds up to its promise

Review

Car brings everything it has promised, 2 and a half years later. The performance is outstanding. I have had no problems whatsoever with this vehicle. The car accelerates with ease, handles beautifully at high and low speeds and is one of the most enjoyable vehicles I have ever driven. The ESC and lane departure features keep you safer and I love the GPS. Bought my son a Garmin for his car, and still think mine is better. I love the Bluetooth! I can hear everyone and they hear me. Easy to answer, easy to call and again makes the vehicle safer with the hands off. I would buy this car again and recommend it without hesitation.

Favorite Features

GPS, Bluetooth integrated phone, rear camera, all the information features. But hands down, the powerful engine and ability for this car to move in and out of traffic with precision and ease. Quite an engine.

Suggested Improvements

The car needs retractable side mirrors, and better rims and front fender for parking. Would love to see Nissan jazz up the outside a bit more.

Don't wait - buy now

Review

I had an 05 G and bought the M without ever driving one. Friend had one and loved it. No regrets. Don't see the M very often and I like that. Do wish in town was better than 18-19 but I get over 28 at 70mph. Radio reviews were concerning and does a very good job - have Sirius. Great for highway travel and have had no issues or ever used the warranty. Same with the G.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Mileage...steering is loose...center console is lame.

Infiniti M is for Misery

Review

Bluetooth failure froze console. Nissan, at first refused warranty repair saying my ATT8525 was not on their list. But Bluetooth is a trademark that requires interoperability. Finally they agreed to repair it. This took 4 tries. Then my AC condenser was pierced by a stone. They refused warranty repair because "stone chips" are excluded. This is understandable for paint not for an internal part they should protect with grill work. That's a design defect. Their voice recognition for phone numbers is awful. The gas mileage is lower than a good design could have made it.

Favorite Features

Acceleration and handling.

Suggested Improvements

Nissan should stand behind its products and try to satisfy its customers not fight with them whenever a warranty claim is made. If their design causes problems they can correct that in later models but if they can't make customers happy they'll have no one to sell them to.

Not what I hoped for

Review

This car reviewed well and was available used at a good price. On brief test drive it seemed like a BMW 5 series clone and we bought it, anticipating a BMW like car with better reliability. It pleased for a while, but eventually began to feel like a big washy boat when being driven. We also noticed the price we pay for the exceptional headroom inside is a high roof and less front visibility over the hood. This is a good car but I am still paying for it and my wife has already lost her fascination with it. A BMW it ain't, in spite of reviews comparing them. Now I don't know what to aspire to, since BMW has been producing a technically clunky car lately that doesn't crash test well.

Favorite Features

Interior leg and headroom for front passenger

Suggested Improvements

Tighten up handling, make it smaller somehow. (maybe I really wanted a G35.)

It's no Lexus

Review

UPDATE: Back in March of this year I wrote a review of our M35 AWD and complained about, among other things, the poor gas mileage. In all fairness I need to report that somewhere around 9K miles the mileage improved. I now get a solid 21 mpg of mixed driving and 22.5 mpg highway. This is with premium fuel and driving driven conservatively. I still blame the AWD for a 2 mpg loss and would encourage new car buyers to press their dealer for rear wheel drive cars. With modern traction control, there is very little real world benefit to AWD. And given the obvious need to conserve fuel, AWD just can’t be justified, in my humble opinion. The nature of this car makes it tiring to drive.

Favorite Features

The multi-panel which houses the audio, climate and navigation (if equipped) is about as easy to use as they come, though that's not saying much. It's unfortunate that nav complicates listening to the radio or adjusting the temperature. Most of the aforementioned can be controlled by voice commands

Suggested Improvements

Ride quality. Lose the boy-racer exhaust system.
