Review

I love this car! I have owned it for 2 years and have no complaints. I owned a Corvette before this car and wasn't sure how I would adjust to driving a sedan but this one has it all. It performs well, the power is there, the transmission is very smooth and it handles corners beautifully. The interior is very comfortable and visually appealing. It has a sexy exterior (I added the rear spoiler). The technology is easy to use (although the voice activation takes some getting used to). The stereo is amazing and having XM radio is great. I have the Dolby surround sound and it is like sitting in a concert hall! Having the Bluetooth is handy. Keyless ignition and entrance is a great touch.

Favorite Features

Dolby surround sound, voice activation, nav system, smooth automatic transmission, keylessignition and entrance, walnut trim, sport package.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage could be better but it is a V8. Low speed auto door lock.

Review

All around beautifully designed and built car that seems to have it all. Quality, luxury, performance and top of the line features. Zero problems after a year of driving. I do not know what more I would want in a car, and I have had many. Excellent machine, and in its class, an excellent value.

Favorite Features

Performance is amazing for such a comfortable and luxurious car. Technology that is very useful and actually works, every day.

Review

I originally had my sights on the QX56 but after test driving the M35 and M45, I decided to go with something sporty. The initial test drive with M35 wasn't quite satisfying, so I decided to test out the M45. The V8 on the 45 version has a great compromise on the bulkiness of the sedan. The car takes off like a rocket. The thrill on speed is just one of the best features, the stability is probably the second biggest accomplishment for this car. Body roll is minimal when serving through the lanes in high speed on the freeway. The manual shifting is precise and quick. The only recommendation I have for this car is a six-speed auto gear box insteaf of five and a small lift on the rear facia.

Favorite Features

Back up camera, clean aluminum interior, VDC.

Suggested Improvements

Need some cosmetic lift for rear facia and six speed auto.

Great Sport Sedan!!!

Review

The 2006 M-45 Sport is a great sport sedan and I think it is the best value of all the good sedans out there. If you compare it to its real peer group, BMW 545/550,MB E500/550,AUDI S-6, it is as fast or faster, handles and brakes better, has more user features in the interior, and is less expensive! My car is loaded with Voice-activated Navigation ,Bluetooth , heated and cooled seats,DVD,6-disc CD changer, leather, 19 in. brushed aluminum sport wheels, etc. It is the best driver's sport sedan I have ever owned. The acceleration is very quick (0-60 in 5.2 sec.), the brakes are phenomenal, and the handling is very flat around fast corners.

Favorite Features

Power/acceleration, Bluetooth hands- free phone use, Voice-activated Nav., Heated and Cooled seats, Understated Sporty look

Suggested Improvements

IPOD CONNECTION!!! Better gas mileage with even more power, 335 hp is great but 400hp would be a world beater in the class of M-5/AMG E-55/RS-6.

Review

I originally was going to buy the GS 350, but after driving it several times, I felt cramped and I couldn’t even sit in the back seat with out slouching over. Once I drove the M45, it has plenty of room and power (more than the GS430) and costs less. It's a very civilized hot rod! Love it!

Favorite Features

Vehicle Traction Control. With 335 horses, you need it

Suggested Improvements

I think the Lexus GS series is a better looking car. Outside styling is a little bland for this price range

Review

I have to say that I still have the same grin on my face as the day I bought the car. I have never driven a sedan that handles this well. I like to drive aggressively on mountain roads and the M is willing partner. Passengers are blown away by the technology, GPS, bluetooth, self adjusting cruise, lane departure warning I could go on and on. I have yet to have any problems with the car, just oil change. Did I mention the Bose 14 speaker sound! This car is tight! 12 hour drives are piece of cake!

Favorite Features

Keyless entry, Bose stereo, 340 hp V8, great brakes, air conditioned seats, GPS, smart cruise, back up camera, seats are soooo comfortable.

Suggested Improvements

Software updates for bluetooth phones and GPS maps.

I get great comments wherever I stop for gas or to have lunch. I have owned most of the top makes and this is right at the top.

Sport M45 Surround Sound

Review

If you like music, you have to get the Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound w/ DVD Set Up. The absolute highest fidelity Sound EVER experianced. You will need quality Live Music Videos and be sure to choose the Dobly 5.1 "Audio Option" on the DVD. Absolutely unbeleivable. And obviously, this car is extremely nice in every area I could write about.

Favorite Features

See above

Review

Fun car to drive, AC seats are awesome, my wife says everyone stares at the car when she takes it out but it's really her. I have the sport package and it is great, I also have a 1 yr old and do not suggest the car as a alternative to the minivan

Favorite Features

AC Seats and NAV...ow yeah its really fast too

Suggested Improvements

Get a larger gas tank, my old v6 maxima had a larger tank
