Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Brawny V8 engine, capable handling, plenty of luxury features, reasonable price.

Cons

Limited rear-seat legroom and trunk space, complicated center stack controls.

What’s new

Infiniti has moved the CD changer from the glovebox to the dash. Several of last year's options are standard for 2004, including heated outside mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink and compass, two-position memory for the driver seat, a tire-pressure monitoring system and a full-size spare tire. The navigation system (with voice recognition technology) is now available as a stand-alone option.

Edmunds says

A capable Japanese sedan that makes a worthwhile alternative to Germany's midsize stalwarts.

It's going to be a classic

2004 INFINITI M45 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

Bought my 2004 brand new right after my BMW 540i came out of the shop, Again. It is an awesome car that is not well known. I took a BMW 530 to task with no problem. No one knows what this "sleeper" can do. Most don't even know what the M45 is. At 70 MPH this car is asking you to please let it go faster. At 100 MPH its asking to please open it up all the way. During that time it …

AWESOME BABY

I have had three Q45's before the M45 and this was not a step down. The M45 is a truely enjoyable and fun ride. The M45 handles the road and is much more sporty than the flagship Q. The acceleration is mesmerizing. The driver seat encompass the body like a glove. A splendid vehicle. The only negative is the confusing instumentation.

A lot of car for the money!

2004 INFINITI M45 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

I wanted a Mercedes E500 since I've been driving Mercedes cars three years, but it stickers for $63k with the options I like. I decided to look at the 2003 Infiniti M45. The performance is fantastic! It looks great inside with plenty of new tech equipment and the exterior design is classic and modern. It has 340 hp compared to 302 hp in the Mercedes E500 and $17000 less …

So Smooth!

2004 INFINITI M45 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

Giant engine thrust and silent cabin, clean understated lines, comfortable appointments and no defects in 5,ooo miles, better than '01 M Coupe, '02 Benz E previously owned. Narrow width and cabin isolation make it good city car, power and wheelbase a fine highway cruiser. At cruise cont. 60mph got 28mpg. Very pleased. Super low price.
