Used 2011 INFINITI M37 Consumer Reviews
Infiniti M37: $90 for tire rotation every 7500 miles - a bad design
I recently purchased an Infiniti M37 and like the car. I was in for service today and told I have to pay $90 for tire rotation every 7,500 miles because the sensors have to be recalibrated in order for the tire gauge on dash to work. That means I would have to pay nearly $400 before I get a new set of tires. They do not tell you this when you buy a car. This is a bad design for a luxury car and undermines the marketing effort of the company to consumers. I have had 11 BMWs and nothing like that. This is nickel and diming the consumer in the service department. Bad news. If I find this with other services, I am going back to BMW. They cover your service including tire rotatio
Bluetooth and Navigation issues
I really splurged when I got this car. I started with a lease to just make sure? Basically, I love the car, and my service writer has been great; however, I am disappointed in two things: First the Bluetooth has been a nightmare. I can hear people fine, but my callers say I sound like I'm under water, echo, they can't hear me, etc. I first was given a software update, didn't work. Next they replaced my entire Bluetooth unit, didn't work. Lastly, they made volume adjustments, the following callers said "call me when you're home, I can't hear you!" Not sure I will keep the car, Bluetooth is a must! Navigation is weak in that addresses that existed for years prior don't register??

Magnificent
I've had my M37x for 3 weeks. The 7 speed tranny is a major improvement over the 5 speed in my 2007 M. I have no clue why anyone would buy the V8, this car flies with the V6. Interior is stunning with the silver trim. Build quality is superb. 20 mpg average so far in combined city/highway. Bose system is incredible! Handling is outstanding. The V6 rumble is very nice. I also tested the Acura R, interior way too small. Benz E has nice interior and look but handles like an old Town Car. Mushy suspension, numb steering and a pathetic V6. I did not consider the Lexus due to their current problems. The M 37x is the best total value and the best performance in this price range, hand down.
Quick and sporty, not as luxurious as I had hoped
The acceleration is astounding, the brakes are great, and it'll corner like it's on rails. If you're looking for a REALLY sporty car, this is a great one. The seats are comfy and supportive, but with less bolstering than some might like. And the interior is just gorgeous to look at every single day. On the down side, wind and road noise is quite a bit louder than I expected, the navigation isn't great, and it's really missing some features and options available on its rivals. After buying my 2012 M37x new in August 2011, I traded it for a 2012 Audi A8 in March 2013, and I'm a much happier man. Really, for the same money, I would look at a used MB E350/550, BMW 5 (or7) or Audi A6,A7orA8.
A great replacemtn for my M35x
Bought new: M37x, slate blue, Java interior with all 3 option pkgs (premium, tech & deluxe touring + a few dealer options) Overall an extraordinarily nice improvement over my old 2006 M35x. You still get much more for your $ in the M over a 5 series BMW. More aggressive stance than my old M, beautiful exterior design. Interior design, materials and craftsmanship are gorgeous and outstanding. The 6 cylinder 3.7L engine is smooth yet very responsive. Nice gain there on my old M. Handles as perfectly as the prior M did. Much quieter cabin though. Much better Bluetooth phone system, Bose audio is stellar and not much different from my 2006 M. Many new tech features are a welcome addition.
