Great Car! - could be better
The M45 allows you to move through traffic effortlessly. it ahs the power enter the hihgway at speed so that you don't impede traffic. Yet, there is little noise - so you will have to let down the windows to hear the throaty- exhaust. (smile) The sideview-mirror blinkers leave no guessing to those on your right or left as you manuveur your may through traffic in Washington rush-hour. Comes with a tape-deck however the Six Disc changer is somewhat inconvenient. Infiniti should have looked at Lexus or other manufactures for latest in- dash CD changers.
Great Car!!
I love this car. Awesome power, very tight stable ride. Don't understand all the auto magazine gripes: It takes all of 10 minutes to figure out the radio/climate controls, and then it's completely intuitive! The car draws stares from loads of onlookers. I still have not seen another on the road, and while that made me a bit nervous , it does give it a real sense of exclusivity. Build quality is typical Infiniti (Wife has the QX-4). This is the first automatic I've ever owned, but it's nice, and the manual mode works better than I thought it would... If you like this car, drive it and buy it

A great car
I actually look for excuses to drive this car. Awesome power, unique looks, and it feels rock solid. The car gets a lot of looks. People don't know what it is. It looks like some exotic, exclusive, expensive import(which it is, except for expensive). The car really hauls. I totally dusted an Audi A6 2.7 Turbo yesterday. Just ran away from him. The guy looked really demoralized. He probably went back to the Audi dealership today to complain that his car wasn't running right. Anyway, the M45 is great. I used to have a 2000 Lincoln LS. It was a good car, but the M45 outshines it. I'm very pleased with my choice.
Way Cool
I moved from a BMW 330 coupe to the M45. I enjoyed the BMW, the M blows it away for just a few thousand more. The BMW was more sporty, felt the road more, yes. all that's true. But given all those people in their automatic 325 sedans, I think that argument is hooey. The M drives really well and knocks you back in your seat when you take off. Build and fit-finish are excellent, gadgets fun. Finally, the M has taken its knocks for its "look," --too conservative, too chunky, whatever--but I have gotten rave reviews from friends and people on the street. Lots of power and bang for buck--this car rocks.

better than lexus and bmw
i test drove the cadillac cts and lexus gs450. the m45 was solid and the quality superb. infiniti wants to sell cars so i got a great deal - a lot of car for thwe money.
A rocket with a bad guidance system
I drove all the way from central North Carolina to Philadelphia to pick up this car. It has never been fast, reliable, or without some odd problem. I have 47 years of auto and diesel repair experience and can say without hesitation that almost everything on the car is too complicated, from the strange induction system, to the overly complicated electric steering, and the ridiculous exhaust system. To make matters worse, the gas tank is directly behind the rear passenger seat, and placed in the strangest location that I have ever seen in any car on this earth, it is not under the car but above the vehicle floor in a space between the trunk and the rear seat. This car has been sitting in the backyard for several years, because my "garage cats" like to sleep on the roof ! In comparison, I bought a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, years ago for my oldest son to drive around our horse farm and it was better in every way that mattered, not quite as quick, but quick every single day, unlike the silver POS that the cats sleep on.

Fast & cheap
This car is the best buy in its class. The features would cost 10k more on BMW, Lexus and Mercedes.
Infinity M 45
THe turning radius on this supposed sport vechicle is pitiful.It takes two attempts to make a u turn.You cannot make any adjustment to temp or radio with doing two things. Nothing is easy. The driver seat is so uncomfortable. I had 3 Q 45's before this - I made a terrible error in buying this car.
