Best Car I ever Owned!

The M35 of this 2008 - 2010 generation is one of the most solid cars I have ever owned (Yes, I've owned, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lincoln and Cadillac, among others). Only downside to this car is that it's a bit thirsty. Over many, miles we've been averaging 19-20 MPG. However, this is probably the last series that still runs on REGULAR gas....and runs well.

I've had car for just over 2 years. I'm toying with the idea of trading it for the convertible G37, but I can't! Every time I drive it, the high quality interior, the quick acceleration, the sharp handling, the easy-to-use controls and the OUTSTANDING sound system featuring the music box (no more CDs!,) tell me that this is the car for me. I'm 6'5" so comfort is important to me. I always feel comfortable, even after driving 2-3 hours straight. Gas mileage could be a bit better, but it's not a deal breaker. Just a great overall sports sedan.

The economy stinks right now, and I was able to get a 2008 M35 with about 10,000 miles for what I thought was a ridiculously low price. We were looking at Honda CRVs and other mini SUVS (loaded). I hate SUVs and convinced my wife that this was the car to buy - and now she loves it. The driving experience is almost as good as the BMW 745, and it has a ton of features. I recommend the base model because the sport model has a really stiff ride. It has a nice, isolated yet sporty feel. For the money, I don't think you can beat it. Against its competitive set, it is a good value and a great car, but at the prices you can get now it is probably unbeatable.
Excellent Electronics, Poor Handling

The M35 AWD is an electronics powerhouse with an amazing array of safety and convenient features. Unfortunately, it suffers from a serious steering problem, called tramlining, which makes the handling not only unsatisfactory but also dangerous. I replaced tires twice before I learned from a conscientious mechanic of an Infiniti dealership that the problem is with the steering rack, which Nissan refuses to replace. Based on this shortcoming, I would place a BMW and an Audi ahead of an Infiniti.

I acquired this immaculate one owner car in November 18' from a neighbor with 32k original miles. My intention was to flip the car, but I can't stop driving it as it now has 45k on the odometer! The engine was a little rough at idle but that changed instantly with the first fill up of 93 Oct Fuel which my neighbor wasn't using. We just drove a 2019 E300 Mercedes for about 3wks while my Wife's car was in service. And if you ignore the Mercedes eye candy like the huge screen and awesome ambient lighting is was clear our 11yr old M35 was quieter, and handled better, and was more powerful than the $66,000 E300. And I recently read that the term, "No replacement for displacement" was a myth today. That smaller 4cyl engines can now perform better than V6's and some V8's...WRONG! There's a HUGE difference between a Mercedes 2.0L and my Infinity 3.5L... It's not just how fast a car gets to 60mph? How many times have you ever waited for the stoplight to turn green and then put your foot to the floor for 6 to 7 seconds? If your like 99% of America... NEVER! The tiny 2.0L 4 cylinder Turbo in the 2019 sounds like a cheap sewing machine at idle. The Infinity M35's 75% larger V6 sounded much more substantial and smooth. Under moderate acceleration the Mercedes sounded loud and cheap like a entry level 4cyl economy car. The M35 under moderate acceleration will make you smile with an exhaust growl that is indeed music to the ears. However, under normal acceleration it is very quiet. Hwy cruising in the Mercedes on lightly rolling hills between San Antonio and Dallas the E300 did not have the power to hold 9th gear. It had to gear down to 8th and sometimes 7th gear to maintain 75mph... I just took the M35 on a trip from San Antonio to Ohio where there are much steeper grades. And even on the steepest grades in Tenn and KY the Mighty 3.5L pulled every hill without gearing down even once! (there is no replacement for displacement) This M35 pulls hills at highway speeds like our 2012 Mercedes Turbo Diesel S Class, and it has a massive 455ft if torque. I can't speak for any late model Infinity cars. Sales lately are dismal to say the least, but if Infinity made a car like this 08' M35 today with modern ambient lighting, larger Nav screens etc. I don't think they'd have any trouble matching the E300 in sales. Because, (minus the eye candy) this 08' M35 is MORE car than the 2019 Mercedes E300. The bottom line...If I had spent $66k on a new E300 and then drove a low mileage Infinity M35 it would have made it hard to live with my new E300. Especially considering that the first day depreciation of an E300 luxury sedan is more than the entire purchase price of an outstanding low Mileage preowned Infinity M35! We're now at trouble free 64,000mi as of 1/21 and still loving our M35.

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.

The M35 is a dream machine. I got it with the Tech and Advanced Tech packages and the vehicle has exceeded my expectations. Driving is no longer about going from point A to B. Driving is the destination. The M35 is so much fun to drive and there is so much you can do while you are driving that it is a vehicle designed for efficiency. Lane Guidance works great, the review camera with a grid makes backing up a pleasure. Recently I slammed on the brakes at the last minute and the brake assist and seat belt tensioner kicked right in making me feel safe and secure. The power of the vehicle also makes it safe - it is possible to leap out of the way of a potential collision. Great, great car.
Great Value !

I've owned this vehicle for 6 months and felt it was appropriate to write a review. The drive is like a sports car feel in a family vehicle. Response is quick and braking is very good too! The only slight disappointment is road noise but that is expected considering the performance handling assets. Overall, the car is unbelievably quick and the Bose sound system is one of the best I've ever seen in a luxury vehicle. We've only put 10K miles and dependability seems to be there. Dealing with the dealer on maintenance issues has been pleasant but not cheap. I would recommend this vehicle for one whose tired of the basic economic family car, tired of the SUV mode, and the best value.
This is a great car for the money!

I really love the 2009 M35-S. My previous car was a 2007 M35 Sport as well. The car handles extremely well, can excel quickly from a dead stop, and is very sporty inside and out. Even when taking the car in for service at the dealership, they tend to give M owners a little extra attention and they go out of their way to make you feel special. All in all, I'd recommend the M35 S to anyone.

I bought a used M35X from the dealer last month. It had 18,000 miles on it and was a rental car in its previous life. I have had the car for about 1 month now. The car drives really well. The acceleration is very good. The interior is spacious and well designed. This car has the Premium Technology package and is full of cool features. It is the top pick in the Consumer Reports evaluation for mid-size luxury cars. Reliability is next only to the Lexus LS 430 according to Consumer Reports. The only issue is with the Rear Crash ratings from IIHS which is "Poor" compared to an Acura RL which is rated Good on all the tests. The Road Noise can be lower although the engine hum is enjoyable.

I switched out of my E Class Mercedes after years of electrical problems into one of the best cars I've ever owned. The quality of the car is unsurpassed, the dash beautiful and the seating absolutely comfortable. My Mercedes was anything but reliable with numerous problems and never dealers never able to fix them on the first, second or maybe the third try. On the other hand the Infiniti M35x is perfect. There's room for five and large trunk and a great sound system. My only complaint is the awful gas mileage. In the city it averages a bit over 14 and on the road barely 21. With today's gas prices I don't care who you are that kind of mileage is unacceptable.

I just traded a 2006 M45, which I loved, for this car. I got the M35 to save a few bucks and get better gas mileage. The M35 with the 7 speed is almost as quick as the M45. The car rides great and is fun to drive, I got the Tech and Advanced Tech with Sport Packages. Love the DVD player, new 7 speed transmission with sport mode, hard disk music box, IPOD hook up, navigation and touch screen. All but the DVD and navigation are new features my 2006 did not have. I got the Blue Slate with black interior and it looks great!

Had an 06 M35 Sport, got this M35x when lease expired. Have had 2 J30s, an early Q45 and now second M35. All I have ever done is put in oil and follow maintenance schedule, reliability could not be better. I looked at A6, Acura RL, MB C and E class, and BMW 5. Previously have owned Audi, Acura, BMW, but enjoy the M35 the most. The ride is so much more comfortable in the 35x than the Sport and quieter too. Yet it is plenty firm with good road feel. Very fun to drive.

How much do you have to pay these days for a car that does not rattle? In the first few thousand miles I have return this car for 3 rattles. Rattles in the dash and doors are making this car a major regret.

We bought the M35x in October which means it was almost last years car. Problem was tramlining, or the movement of the car over uneven pavement. Ever drive on a highway that's been used by a lot of trucks. This car will jump all over the place. I researched and got the tires replaced with Michelins by dealer. Tramlining decreased by about 75%! Yes, this car eats gas. My 04 Murano with same VQ35 engine gets a lot better mileage. A lot more comfortable than our 2003 Mercedes C320 and hopefully a lot more reliable. I didn't want AWD but in NJ all that's available is AWD. Too bad!

Well I needed to replace our Buick and with GM going down the toilet I figures I better move to the Japanese. Spent 3 months looking for a luxury car. Anyway, I walked into the Infiniti dealership here and the friendliness was fabulous. They had an 08 M35x that the manager was driving with 18,000 kms in sandstone. What a beautiful car. We drove it for a day and were hooked. They gave it to me for 20K less than new. They gave me 10K for my Buick and I was stunned. I drove this out of there in mint condition for 30K Canadian. WOW I couldn't buy a v6 accord for that. Driving the car for a month now and am awestruck by the quality. This thing is a tank. Put new Michelin Pilot Pluses on - WOW!

For what would otherwise be an under-powered luxury sports sedan that is an excellent value, the steering issue called tramlining makes the M35X an unsafe highway car. Everything else is wonderful: comfort, electronics, etc.

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.

I traded in my 2006 M35 for a 2008 M35s after 34 months because I was very happy with the first M35 and after looking at other cars in its class believe that the current Infiniti pricing and financing deals make the choice for me.

I traded me FX35 with sport package in for M35 with Tech/Sport. M35 drives similarly to FX35 (which was fun to drive) but a little quieter. Test drove GS/LS, A6/A8, XJ/XF and found the M to be a good mix between comfort and fun. But Lexus is a step ahead in term of technology. Interior design is what sold me on the car. A6/A8 are too confusing, GS/LS are too boring, XF is as good if not better, but less room in the back.

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.

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.

I had the 2006 model, and just purchased the 2008 model with the sport package. This car is far better than any of its competitors, and comes with an abundance of standard features. The ride is sporty, yet comfortable. The interior is well appointed, and well thought out. The navigation system is by far the best and most sophisticated one out there, yet its very easy to use. You can talk to it via voice commands while driving (most competitors force you to type in directions while in park). Buy one, you wont regret it!

It's the perfect car for me. I considered Cadillac CTS, Acura TL, Lexus ES, even the G35x, but the M35x had them beat with styling, features, and yes, value for the money. As a music lover, I can't say enough about the integrated iPod hookup/hard drive/flash drive and XM radio. I'm sure there are audiophiles out there who will complain about the Bose stereo, but believe me, it's fine. (You'll hear better & worse depending on whatever other car you're interested in.) Controls are easy to use; comfortable seats (heated/cooled); nav w/backup camera is dandy; Bluetooth/voice activation is intuitive; and, of course, it looks fantastic both inside & out! Drive it and see for yourself!

All around a nice vehicle! A bit pricey compared to other models but better than BMW. Very nice ride and a lot of fun to drive, quiet at highway speeds but it could have a little better mileage. Very nice electronics package! Could face very stiff competition from the new Lincoln MKS mileage-wise and price wise. But, all around a very nice vehicle and fun to drive. A "9" out of "10"!

Just purchased an M35 with the Tech and Sport package and I love the car. It is a perfect combination of sport and comfort. My previous two cars were an 04 Acura TL and 01 BMW 530i. I considered the Lexus GS and BMW 528i. The Lexus was not sporty enough and the BMW was not as good a value. With the Tech and Sport package this car has all the goodies I wanted at a great price. This is a car my whole family likes. Plenty room in the back for my thirteen year old daughter and her friends. All the technology a thirteen would want. My wife enjoys the heated and cooled seats (Texas) as well as the navigation, bluetooth, sat radio and iPod connection and we all like being seen in it.

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.

We purchased the M35 since it was such a great value at the time compared to the Mercedes E350 we almost bought. The M35 feels solid with predictable handling, and the optional technology and advanced technology packages round out the car well. While not as quiet and smooth as the E350, it's a solid car with respectable performance and comfort. Reliability likely won't be a concern, with a standard 60K mile warranty. Wind noise is somewhat noticeable at highway speeds, gas mileage a bit disappointing, and the performance tires transmit some road noise into the cabin. But for the deals that Infiniti is offering right now, it was simply a no-brainer. A fine car and a no-regrets purchase.

Bought M35S and am very pleased. This car is exciting to drive and turns heads. HVAC is top notch & cools down quickly even in MS! Road noise is barely noticeable. Seats are supportive, comfortable and cooled. Great touch! Would buy another one immediately if stolen. XM & iPod make the car very enjoyable on trips. If you want a classy sports car, this is it! Own a 2007 FX-35 too and will remain brand loyal.

Took delivery of my new M35x 3 weeks ago. Just came out of a Lexus GS300 AWD. Although the Lexus was a little more "cushy" and had one or two more conveniences, this car is really the only other luxury vehicle that comes close in features, quality and value retention. The "M" definitely rides much better/feels glued to the road. Also has better electronics such as the navigation system which is easier to use and the sound system with the hard drive which records your CDs (very cool). I got the tech pkg, so I got the upgraded Bose system, but not the 5.1 system that comes with advanced tech pkg. Even though it is not their best, it still is far superior to the Lexus' Mark Levinson system.
It's good but...

Purchased the M35 with the technology package in July (08). For the most part it is a lovely car but it seems like it is missing some comfort items. It swallows gasoline instead sipping on it. The ride is nice and quiet and it has PLENTY of room inside and a ton of style outside.
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).

Nissan/Infiniti really built one of the best cars created. I recently drove my car from South Florida to Las Vegas and I really gained so much respect for my car. I have not had one problem at all with my car. Routine Maintenance and Oil Change. Premium Petrol and Synthetic Oil are a must and are par for the course when purchasing a foreign luxury automobile. Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, Lexus, Acura pale in comparison to the Infiniti M35

I drive on highways a lot and need an easy to use tech interface and this is excellent. Easy to use, intuitive and activated through voice commands, touch screen and toggle switch. Quieter than I thought it would be and very comfortable and responsive. Great car.

M35x drives real nice. Sporty and firm ride with no body roll. Plenty of amenities with navigation system. This is a sporty car with a growl and not a smooth and quiet ride.
Excellent M35

My M35 has been a pleasant car. As someone going for more of a relaxed ride, the M35 was nice, but I wish it would be a just a bit more soft. Then again, this is a sports car, and performs like one too. The interior is beautiful, the navigation is nice, and the rear seat room is actually quite good. HOWEVER, this car is a gas machine. If you want a fuel efficient car, look toward buying maybe a GS. I've gotten a combination of 18 mpg, which was expected, but disappointed because it's only a V6.
I'm in Love with my M

I dreamed of getting an M35 for years so you'd think I ran a great risk of being disappointed by such high expectations. Like almost every Christmas which never lives up to my visions. The M is better than I could have imagined. I do wish it got better mileage but my average mpg of 22 combined is just fine for what I am getting to drive.

Had for 15 months. This car is awesome. I cannot understand any complaints except for maybe gas mileage. It's what you should expect for a large sport sedan. Infiniti service and dealership was & still is excellent. In/out the door in less than an hour. Will keep this vehicle for a long time. Sporty, classy, comfortable and people love looking at it. What a deal!!
Good Car Except Handling

I purchased the car with 4 thousand and six miles. I love the look and speed but the mileage could be better. I guess they got it right with the 2010 with the 7 speed trans. However, the ride quality is very poor especially on uneven roads. I can first feel every bump then the front ends starts rattling and jumping. When I first noticed it I felt like the car was going to lose control. since then I can control it. I searched the internet and there are over 300 entries on the trampling problem.
Love it

Right after Thanksgiving my local dealer was having a big sale and I bought an 08 M35X. Drove it home in a snow storm and the all wheel drive is excellent. The command center is filled with everything you can imagine. Jukebox, Ipod integration, satellite radio, CD. Rides out great. Very luxurious interior and the 3.5 really moves when you need to. I have only put about 6k on the car so far, but love it. As soon as my wife's lease is up on her car she wants the G37x.
Best bang for your $$$$

Wow!! What a fun car to drive. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment I get into my car. Plenty of passing power, handles like a sport car and I love the firmness of the suspension. This is truly a luxury sports sedan for a person not looking to buy a 2-dr sports car. Everything I am looking for in a sports sedan. The interior is beautiful and everything is laid out nicely. Plenty of room front and back. Did I mentioned the car handles awesome? I love the way the car look... very clean!!
Still, Simply the Best...

I Just bought this car after comparing to all the typical suspects in this market. I decided on the M35x because it is technically, mechanically, and reliably superior and costs less but holds resale value far better than them. it handles on rails in wet or dry conditions. and even today the harddrive is superior also.

My husband and I bought a new M35 in February. On May 10 we were in a series accident with a 1999 truck, the car and truck was totalled. A very bad accident that could have taken my husband's life with the truck hitting in the driver's door, but because of the excellent safety features of the car especially the curtain airbags our lives were spared. I only had the car for 3 months, but it was a great car and I loved it and will probably buy another one when I'm able to drive again.

I have been a Lexus customer for 12 years. We shopped around and found the M35X. They pushed their technology so much at the dealership we felt it had to be as good as Lexus if not better. Boy were we wrong. Unfortunately I now have 38 months of this nightmare left. I returned an 06 Lexus GS, which my phone the Palm Pre had no trouble pairing with the Bluetooth. My 09 M35X does not work at all with these phones. Static all the time and that supposedly great Bose radio that lowers and loudens itself at will comes on and off during a conversation. Then there is the nav - what a waste of money. No points of interest. Been lost a lot lately. $53000 really Infiniti. Entire system was replaced by dealer, no luck.
