Expensive: Low Quality Features

Review

I have owned a 02 BMW 330 sport sedan, a 03 BMW 540 sport manual 6 speed, and finally decided to give the japanese a try. The Infiniti M45 is by far the closest feel to the german's you can get in a japanese sports sedan. Great reliability, great styling, and many features. Problem with the car is the horrible gas mileage averaging 13.5 MPG in the city and that's 3.4 MPG less than my BMW 540. Tons of features but they are all low grade. For example..the seat heaters don't even compare to the BMWs, the sound system is very hollow and tin sounding (plastic like), shared dashboard gauges from the Altima, and last...the suspension is horribly rough on everyone in the car.

Favorite Features

Looks, roomy, many features but they are low quality. I can't believe this car is almost 60 grand and they use a plastic dash from the Altima. Horrible.

Suggested Improvements

Interior noise is so bad that blue tooth is really not usuable.The heated seets are not warm enough.The voice controls don't always work.The Navigation system requires exact entries...if you miss a W. or E. it will not even list the street.The ride is very rough.Gas mileage is terrible. Buy BMW!!!

The Dream Car

Review

If you ever wanted a car that could do everything, the M45 is the car for you. It comes with every accessory known to man. It's one of those cars that you enjoy getting into every day to go to work or go on an outing. No matter where you go, people will be looking and admiring what you are driving. I have owned in my life time at least 12 vehicles from different makers and I can honestly say, I have found a home with the Infiniti M45.

Favorite Features

Every thing is voice actuated. The stereo system, Bose, the plush leather interior, the air conditioning system really packs a punch,its very roomy inside, the DVD system is awesome,and when you are on the highway and need that added acceleration to get out of a tight spot, its always their for you.

Suggested Improvements

Don't mess with perfection, the only thing I would probably want added to my car is 4 wheel drive when needed.

This is an awesome car. I have driven it about 12,000 miles and I am glad I got this car. When I need power to pass, i9t is there without hesitation. The Bose sound systems rocks. I also love the voice activated Bluetooth phone and the tons of bells and whistles.

My Infiniti M45 Sport

Review

My black Infiniti M45 looks great. It's fun watching heads turn from pedestrians and other motorists alike as I drive past. A full year into the ownership experience I still look forward to getting behind the wheel. The acceleration and torque remind me of the muscle cars I knew from the 60s. I've owned 2 of the last generation BMW 5 series. The M45 competes with them in performance, but beats BMW 5s in room, comfort, and technology. Voice recognition (my favorite feature) for the navigation, climate control, phone, and sound system are easy and intuitive. A backup camera is overkill in a sedan. My wife loves the air conditioned and heated front seats. M45 - Nice car!

Car of the Future

2006 Infiniti M45 Sport 4dr Sedan (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Most comfortable and stylish car I ever owned. Performance is there every time you hit the accelerator. No need to take your eyes off the road because everything is voice activated, including blue tooth celluar phone service. Plush leather interior and 19" low profile tires. 14 speaker Bose sound system. I've owned Buick, Pontaic, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Caddilac, but this is the only car that I'm still excited every day I get behind the wheel. The only thing that makes having this car more pleasurable is taking it back to Ray Catena for scheduled maintenance. They give you 5 star service and treatment.

Favorite Features

Everything!

You can't improve perfection.

Review

This car is an absolute pleasure to drive. The interior is very luxurious and the navigation system is very easy to use. I have had the 5 series BMW and I prefer this car for reliability, and interior comfort, (and the cup holders don't break!!!) Additionally, it has a very sporty, responsive feel that equals the bmw. I love it.

Great car--low gas mileage

Review

The Infiniti M45 handles like a sports car. It has cutting edge electronics-- the best navigation system available, laser cruise control, keyless ignition, rear camera, an audible warning if you get too close to the white line. Based on my experience, reliability is excellent. The only negative: 15-16 mpg. Since I drive about 8000 miles a year, the low milage doesn't cost me very much. To me, it's worth it to have such a high performing, comfortable and technologically advanced car.

Favorite Features

Voice activated navigation, steering and handling.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas milage and come controls (emergency brake light, passenger seat adjustment) could use improvement.
