Almost great car
Bought an M35X with Tech. package, splash guards after comparison with RL, A6, 528xi, STS4, GS 350 awd, MB E350 4M, S80V8, Passat 4M. Best car for the money considering std. and opt. features, driving experience (acceleration, steering, braking), ride, interior and exterior aesthetic design, egonometric design, functionality and legiblity of controls and operating costs. Next best car is MB E350 4M, but $12k more similiarly equipped. Disappointed with gas mileage - 16 city/24 highway (with cruise control) and non-aggressive driving. Very comfortable for long distance driving. Needs 6 speed trans. Engine growl annoying.
Couldn't be happier
CPO car bought with very low miles. 10,700 after two years. Car looks and drives brand new and I couldn't be happier with the performance of the car so far. It is fast and comfortable and looks sharp. Handles well too and the balance between ride and handling is excellent.

Fine Vehicle with Poor Gas Mileage
I just leased 2007 M35 With Advanced Tech Package. I love the car for pretty much everything, except for few things. Extremely poor gas mileage. My commute consist of about 3.5 miles of local driving and 21 miles of freeway driving. I noted that I am only getting 17 miles per gallon. Perhaps my aggressive driving contributes to this factor. But my Maxima with VQ35DE engine (same 3.5 Litter engine at M35) which has 20 less horse power gets about 23.5 miles average miles. I hope Infiniti will improve gear ratio or maybe add extra gear or gears to save GAS.
Satisfied
I was 71 years when I bought a 2007 Infiniti with 31,640 mi.last year 2009.I didn't mind the mileage since the car was driven in and had it's 30,000 mile check.I test drive a 35G and this car and loved the handling and seating of the M35 with all the luxury features,lane alert,rear view, Bose sound and accelleration.The car made great mileage on the highway from CA to CO and in the Rocky Mountains. I love the pearl color and the white seats.
Another happy customer
I've owned the M35 since it was new (almost 3 years). Recently, a couple who each drive Mercedes E models rode in the back seat, said they loved it and asked how much one cost - as if they were interested in buying one. The car has been flawless. It had some road noise, but I changed the factory tires (Goodyear) to Michelins and the noise went away.
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.
