Beautiful car but gas "hog"
I use the car commuting back and forth to work every day and we have used it for long-distance driving. I love the car, I just have found it to be a little too big for me as I have been used to driving Acuras in the past. The ride is smooth and comfortable, the navigation system is great (although it failed and had to be completely replaced already) and it seems to ride well in the snow. Overall, a very satisfying driving experience...
Great car.
This has been a great vehicle. Always positive response from passersby. I have had several BMWs and would not put this in the same class for torque but drives as good as much higher priced vehicles.

First Luxury Car - Great Choice
I drove a lot of cars before settling on a M35x. The primary factors were performance, bluetooth, and enough room for my 6'5" 240 lb frame. The V6 sounds great and does move the car, but it doesn't feel like the stated 6.1s 0-60 time. Gearing is very tall and there is little grunt in the higher gears. This hurts mpg as well, 17/22 in moderate driving. The car looks great both inside and out. Watched people look it over in parking lots and had people walk up to me and ask about it. Personal comfort is excellent. Drove 900 miles in one shot over Christmas and did not feel sore until hour 12. Interior is very ergonomic.
The best Infiniti on the market today!
This car is outstanding! The beauty and speed of this machine are simply breathtaking. I love driving fast it this car because it gets me there even faster than any other car that I have previously owned. Great car! Very luxurious.
Love it
The M35 is the best car I have driven. It handles well and has nice pick up. I prefer how the European sedans shift as the M35 is a little more sporty. Also, it is a little difficult to discover all of the technical options because there are so many. All in all, I have really enjoyed my M35 over the last year and a half. Would highly recommend this vehicle.
Love This Car
I own the 2006 M35X with the Technology Package. It is a terrific car and lots of fun to drive. The ride is smooth and quiet. The M35 has amazing power for a 3.5L engine, and has every bell and whistle you could ask for (except an interfaced iPod). Being 6-6, I am particularly impressed with roominess - plenty of headroom and leg room. The surround sound is fantastic, the keyless entry/start is great fun, and the Bluetooth works flawlessly with my iPhone. The only negatives I would mention are the headlights (narrow lighting area at night), middling gas mileage, and the lack of an iPod interface. (BTW, you can play the iPod via the rear L/R inputs.) The M35 is my favorite car ever!
Great Car
Fun to drive. Great interior. Excellent performance. In car "bluetooth" and navigation work very well. Overall could not be more pleased after two years.
Great car but.......
Beautiful vehicle with a lovely ride. Now my wife wants it. She wouldn't touch our 740il but loves this ride. Loaded with features, tires now goodyear eagles, spare does not have ability to monitor tire pressure, causes alarms to go off while driving. Stereo is great, info centre amazing but the nav will not work when a destination is input, keeps resetting every 15 secs. Dealership won't fix, 105,000 km puts it out of warranty. Lane drift feature awesome as is cruise control which slows car down if you get too close to car in front. Have lots of snow lately, 12" overnight but awd keeps car moving safely on unplowed roads. Car is not yet 2 years old why won't dealer fix nav?
Near Perfect Car
This is a great car for the money. It has most features except for power folding mirrors and rear sunshade (both of which my Audi had). It's a near perfect blend of size, performance and handling. I keep looking at cars for when my lease expires, but unless a new car comes out for '09, I'll be leasing a new one or buying this one. In my opinion, there is no car that that balances perfomance and features like the M.
I was amazed
I wanted a new car so bad. I test drove Audi, BMW, Porshe, 350Z, Lexus and Acura. I went to infiniti to test drive G 35 which initially i wanted to buy. After i finished test driving i was pretty happy with its performance, but i wasn't really happy with interior design, Suddenly my eyes got stuck at the M series which came out liek a day before i went to the dealership. WHen I got inside of that, looked at the interior, i was amazed and i decided immediately that if i buy a car, that would be infiniti. Then i test drove it, the performance was awesome.. I am a great infiniti fan now. I love my car and I can bet that it can beat BMW, Lexus, Audi, Acura easily by price, performance and design.
Not that great - electrical problems
This car has had a lot of electrical system problems. It's been in and out of the shop numerous times. It doesn't drive that well; brakes grab and it steers hard left. Interior looks nice but isn't that comfortable on long trips. Take a pass on this model and buy a BMW or Mercedes.
A long-term Best Buy: '06 M35
This is by far the best sedan I have ever owned. It handles well, is fun to drive and is very reliable. One minor recall item. Dealer service has been competent if not a bit pricey. I have thought about trading it in annually and always come back to the same conclusion: 'this is just a great car!' Look for reasonable miles, 1 owner and dealer serviced. Ask to see the maintenance book or other evidence of a well cared for vehicle.
M35 reliability
This car is solid, I just finished 4 years with it and am heading into year 5. I saw a couple posts regarding a rattle - I had it too and just figured out last year that it was the intermittent wiper speed turn handle. I also had trouble with the hands free phone and the dealer put in the same mic that the newer ones have and it works ok. Having gone thru a wide variety of cars (2 acuras, 1 BMW, 1 Lexus, 1 Cadillac, 1 olds Aurora) I have to say this by far has been my best experience.
A lot of bang for the buck.
After driving my 2006 M35 Sport for a month I am really happy. The ride is very smooth and much quieter than the reviews make out. The seats are extremely comfortable and the engine has more than enough power for my needs. For being a 4 year old car, there is only one minor rattle coming from somewhere near the glove box and that is intermittent. On the downside, the center stack controls do take some getting used to and the gas mileage is not great. I'm averaging about 21 mpg. Overall this really is a great car, fun to drive, and with distinctive looks.
Infiniti M35
I test drove the audi a4 and a6 and they can't hold a candle to the infiniti. A crisp ride with all the comfort one could ask.
My M
The driving experience of the M35 sport will sell you this car. I test drove BMW530/545, Audi A6, Cadilac CTX, Lincoln LS. After the initial thrill of driving the M35, I have had the car for a month and a half and still love to get behind the wheel. I believe this to be the best car in its class, and the best value in its class. Infiniti seemed to provide more options for your dollar than the other vehicles. If you love gadgets this car has them without sacrifincing the real car underneath.
Love my M35!
Purchased this car after finding that the Lexus competition does nothing when you press the pedal. Finally, the Lexus salesman took me to a downhill ramp, asked me to floor it, and Voila! It moved. Big Deal. The M35 has excellent acceleration at city speeds, even uphill. Touch the gas and enjoy serious forward motion. Has a quiet ride (surprise, one review said it was noisy) and it just glides over streets, including potholes. I'm still marveling at the fab suspension. Love the tech features and the thoughtfulness in allowing us to do things in more than one way - you're not wedded to using the voice system. Best of all, it talks to my Treo 650, making hands-off phone calls a breeze!
Unless you drive it in the rain!!!!
My oh my, my first AWD and with all those horses...two days of terrible storms and I was da king of da road. Fabulous seat comfort made me want to buckle up and drive to Perdition (or Moosejaw), I have had 6 Infinitis (last was a G-35 w rwd) but this is the real thing. Gas mileage not as good as promised but if I spend $45k for a car should I be whining? Voice activation system GPS and I have translation problems. Effortless acceleration and auto/manual shift is smoother than my G- 35 was.
