Infiniti M is for Misery. My M35 Bluetooth would not synch with an AT&T 8525. At first Nissan refused to fix it even though it froze my entire console. They said it wasn't on their list of phones. But Bluetooth is a trademark a company can ONLY use if its devices are interoperable with other tested devices. Failure to do this is a violation of the trademark agreement. Finally Nissan relented and after FOUR tries finally fixed the problem. More recently the A/C Condenser was struck by a stone. The car was under warranty but they refused to cover this. Damage by stone chips is one of their exclusions. Understandable for paint damage but if you design a grill only for air flow and not to protect the radiator and condenser that is a design defect. Could it have been deliberate? A way to make sure they make money on replacement condensers and radiators? And their voice recognition, for simple telephone numbers may be the worst in the world. So, on the face of it, the M35 may look like a nice car and be fun to drive but God forbid you have to deal with Nissan for warranty repairs. Of the Japanese car manufacturers they are, no doubt, the worst to deal with. Buy at your own risk!

There are no worse tires in the galaxy than the junk Goodyears that come on this car. And enjoy freezing to death on the "heated seats" which don't heat. Gas pig. Harsh ride (and not because its a dream in hard driving - on those junk tires its handles pathetically - on real tires it may be different) Cadillac STS has no rear leg room but is way better balanced car - but too late for me now. I am stuck with this.

I enjoyed reading this comprehensive posting on the M's features and faults. I own a 2009 M35X. The car has been an absolute blast to drive. Looks like between 2007 and 2009, a number of the original issues from this posting have been fixed by Infiniti. The big issue I had was the "Tram lining" that would happen on uneven roads. once I changed my tire to Michelin Primacy MXV4, this problem went away.

The 07 review was most helpful. It seems the problems have been updated or fixed on later model units. I know there is still a phone problem but in this state you cant use a phone legally unless its hands free; minor detail. I accept the mileage and "harsh" ride. The reliability factor is most important to me as I own a 08 Charger which has seen its wear and reliability problems... i plan to purchase a pre-owned 2010 next year and hope that the problems presented do not appear. i am prepared to deal with minor problems as the charger has schooled me in that respect. I anxiously read any and all consumer real world reviews of the 09-10 models. thank you!

"The Infiniti M35x can do anything that a sports car can do."Umm...take it to a track day and then get back with us.

I know this is old news but a comment to my 2012 comment. Bought an 09 g37x as it is better on gas much faster and sexier. Had about 25k in 2013 and now has 47k. Reliable, fast, good in the winter, stiff ride, no electronic problems. Had front wheel bearings and rotors replaced under warranty and now needs back rotors. Great car and glad I got this over the bigger slower m. Still have the charger also at 98k. Thanks!

I have driven Nissan and Infiniti since 1989. I have owned a Nissan Sentra Nissan maxima three Infiniti J 30ıs. Each car has been absolutely wonderful I would recommend NISSAN and INFINITY to anyone today is 6/11/2022 and Iım still driving my 2006 and 35 with about 220,000 miles on it it still drives like a dream and looks like a new car. No car is perfect but this is about as perfect as it can be and it still looks just as good as the new cars. I have noticed in the newer cars theyıve taken a few things away the heating air conditioning seats the car floor mats are not staying on as well as they used to thereıs less room in the backseat backseat. I intend to get another INFINITY Iım gonna look for the 2019 Q 70 if it has 50 to 80,000 miles on it it wonıt matter to me itıs a good car. Driving as you look on the side of the road you will never seen INFINITY or NISSAN I want black or white and you can email me at Crispycath@aol.com Thank you for taking the time to read my little two cents.
