2008 INFINITI M35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
9 of 9 people found this review helpful
This vehicle is the most maintenance-free, reliable vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned two cadillacs, two lincolns, a pontiac, a ford and a volkswagon. The Infinity wins, hands down. One mechanical failure in 10 years of ownership - a radiator leakage. The car still runs like new but I'm getting old and would like one last car before I throw in the towel and am considering a used Infinity Q70. That would cap my driving history off nicely. The M35 now has 148,000, all without repairs. Maybe I'll keep it for a while longer.

I bought this car for the luxury, performance and reliability. I love it except...all the maple moldings on the inside of the doors had to be replaced (turned out to be bad glue). Infiniti had no problem replacing them. At 65K miles the front left wheel bearing went. Haven't ever had that happen on any other car. At 80K miles the transmission went - not in any forward gear, but in reverse? I generally keep my cars for 150K miles and I've never had transmission problems or even had to change a clutch. Needless to say, I'm disappointed.

If you want a handsome, well appointed, solid car that has bullet proof reliability, this is your car. I traded in a 2006 that I had bought for 20K (in 2009) with 30 some K miles on it for a used 2009. The dealership gave me 10K for the 2006 in trade value on a used car price of 17K. The trade in was 5 years later with 109K miles on the car! In all that time on the 2006, I blew a belt and replaced brakes (other than normal maintenance). Have had the 2009 for a year plus, no issues aside from normal maintenance, still tight, no rattles, car now has 85K on it. Rides slightly stiffer than my old 2006, but has a bit more horses and way better sound system/tech. I am not a big Bose fan when it comes to automobiles, but this (upgraded) sound system with Center-point is outstanding. Are there some things that could be better? Yes, it could have another 100 horses, ride like a limo and corner like a Corvette. But then it would be out of my price range. Ok, road noise could be a little better, and I wish they had put the 7 speed in the X. Other than that, I honestly don't know why there aren't a lot more of these on the road. Heck of a car. UPDATE March 2017. Still going strong, still great car.

Consumer Reports hit the nail on the head when they rated the M35 their #1 mid-size luxury/sport car. Bought a 2009 M35 w/ Nav & Tech pkg in Feb 2010 after my 2005 Honda Accord was destroyed by a fallen tree. Owned: one year. Never a problem. Great handling, pickup, & very reliable. Guess it helps to keep up with maintenance. Radio & 6-disc CD player was adequate for me. Nav, easy to operate once I learned it. Decided to trade because of lousy fuel mileage (17-18 mpg), wanted lower pymts, & a smaller car. Bought 2005 BMW 330i sedan - very satisfied so far. If Infiniti would spend more time improving gas mileage and less time designing needless gadgets this car would fly out of dealerships.

I used to own the Q45 and switched for all wheel drive (Ausi A8). After 8 years of German cars I am back. This car is really well thought out and is quality throughout. It rides great, although i might have preferred the 8 cylinder M45. It has plenty of get up and go, so maybe i will get used to it. Everything else about the car from the handling, comfort, appearance and space is fantastic. I am a big guy (6'3") and I have plenty of room for me and the person sitting behind me. The stereo is very good and it doesn't matter what your source of music is, the car can handle it. I looked at the Acura RL, Lexus GS and the Audi A6. M35x was the clear winner.
