2008 Infiniti M35 base

I usually lease an SUV to carry equipment for my company. My last was an Escalade ESV. But now I don't carry much anymore so I wanted a car and much lower monthly payments. I drove the Mercedes E350, BMW 5 series, Audi A6, Cadillac STS, DTS and Lexus (forget the model but was the same size). I want the latest features. I was used to the backup camera. I think it is a safety feature and I will not buy a car without it. I want navigation and satellite radio. I want rear, side, etc air bags. I want electric mirrors, electric cool & heated seats. I want a quiet and not-underpowered car. I do not want to spend 1 cent on fluff (sport packages, chrome wheels, etc) I am over 40.

A great value in this segment

I looked at BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes in addition to Infiniti. The M35 with Sport pkg, Tech pkg, and advanced Tech Pkg came in near or below the "base" price of most of the others. The Navi system is among the more intuitive I've ever used, and the 14 spkr Bose 5.1 system is wonderful. The 19 inch wheels and Z rated tires take corners most cars would balk at without even chirping the rubber. The engine is great in most torque ranges, but could use a few more horses from a starting stop. The G37 engine has more power than even the M45's V8 - which makes no sense at all to me. I've only had the car for a month, but so far I am pleased with the purchase. It's a lot of fun to drive.

Almost there

This car is almost perfect if you want a more sporty ride. The suspension, gearing and exhaust all are more sport oriented than the Lexus type comfort some may anticipate. The steering is the only non-sporty aspect of the M35. It is overly sensitive and loose at center. Constant correction is required at highway speed. The V6 leaves you wanting at times, but that is why they offer a V8. The car needs more gears. The new FX 7 speed transmission should fix this. The M35 cost less than some of its competitors but I think it lacks a few features if you look closely. Infiniti is learning and will pull it all together with the next iteration.

Excellent Luxury/Sports Vehicle

I test drove a few cars including the new 2009 TL, a 2008 E350 and a 2008 528I. The Infiniti held its own against these three fine vehicles, both on performance and luxury comparisons. Both the BMW and the Mercedes are excellent vehicles, but comparably equipped would have cost me $10k to $15k more. The TL costs slightly less, but felt a little smaller and although design tastes are subjective, I liked the M's feel much better.

Love the M35

The 2008 Infiniti is far superior to the 07 model inasmuch as the exterior has had a much needed facelift (revised front and rear fascia, grille, rear fender panels, rear deck lid and taillight design, new chrome accents and 18-inch sport wheels). I passed on the 2007 model last year when car shopping for a friend but bought it for myself this year. The interior is roomy and all controls are within easy reach. The view from the cockpit is good and the hood doesn't disappear from view as with the Acura. Good all-around handling for the money led me to choosing the M35 over BMW, Acura, Lexus and Mercedes (I tested them all).
