Used 2007 INFINITI M35 Consumer Reviews
OK, but hasn't lived up to press raves
In first four thousand miles, nothing broke or malfunctioned. Gas mileage very poor (16-18 mpg). Rear end lands heavy and loud over small bumps. Bluetooth phone limited -- doesn't easily read number on phone's contact list. Cornering decent but not like top German brands.
Uncomfortable front sport seats
I have approximately 15,000 miles on an M35 Sport that I purchased in Nov 06. I have been fairly happy with my vehicle except for the front sport seats and fuel economy. The car is fun to drive and has lots of great features. However, the piping / stitching on the upper portion of the front seats hits beneath my shoulder blade causing pain and stiffness to my shoulder and neck. This car should have a 6 speed automatic transmission to help fuel economy. I will not buy another M35 Sport unless it has a 6 speed auto transmission.

Do not buy Infiniti
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.
Waste of Money
Rides and sounds like a taxi-cab. Harsh ride, and rattles galore. Pivoting headlights make no difference in visibility. Heated seats do not work. Optional Bose stereo with 14 speakers is no better than standard radios on most cars.
It's no Lexus
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 cant be justified, in my humble opinion. The nature of this car makes it tiring to drive.
