This is an amazing sports sedan sleeper. The various car magazine comparisons all rated the Infiniti M45 top of the class in 2006 and 2007. I found this car listed on a Jalopnik review for top used luxury car bargains and boy were they on top of it. The 4.5 V-8 is incredibly smooth and powerful. The best feature of all is that the car drives and handles amazingly! In addition, basic maintenance items like brakes, wheel bearing hubs and other little issues on a 9 year old car are super easy to fix and parts are very affordable. Many parts have an identical low-priced Nissan part number if you do a little research or lurking around on nicoclub.com I also drive this car year-round and with Michelin X-ice tires it is remarkably sure-footed in the snow and ice. If you've been driving around in a Camry or Accord or Fusion or other plain old 4 door sedan, do yourself a favor and consider what I did. I sold my 2013 Accord through Craigslist and picked up the 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport and had $5,000 left in my pocket. I went from plain old transportation to one of the best used sports sedans this side of a BMW M5 but without the reliability concerns!

Long term love affair

Wanted to give a long term persepctive on the M45 (Sport) I have put over trouble free 60k miles on the car. I must say it has surpassed the high expectations I had when I bought it 5 years ago. I had purchased the car after Car & Driver rating it higher than the 5 series. I drove several of the competitors and was sold due to the handling, power, technology, build quality (only Nissan built in Japan in 06) and vale. It price out 15k less than comparable BMW, lexus & Mercedes. The car continues to deliver all the positive traits to this day!

This newer M45 made a big impact on me after trading in my G35 coupe. The front fascia resembles the Infiniti family tree. The overall styling is modern with a touch of upper level class. The car itself looks great but with the optional aero-kit, it really makes a bold statement. The interior is good but could use better front seat with multi adjustment seat of other cars in the same class. It only offers your basic functions. Good take off from a stand still but runs out of steam after 75mph. Transmission shifts good but could use the 2009 7 speed transmission. Good pricing and good high quality building makes structure solid.

06 M45 non-sport journeyman off lease 32k miles. So much fun to drive you just don’t want to get out. Powerful and smooth acceleration at all speeds. All controls are easy to operate. I’m 6’4 & fit very well in terms of head and leg room. The M45 was the right combination of power, ride quality and technology goodies for me. The Bose sound system is wonderful. The M45 sport was just too stiff a ride for me. The M35 does not have the same power, only 1 MPG difference anyway. I bought the Infiniti extended warranty (bumper to bumper) till 100k miles or 2014. Infinity also has the best car loaner program. You always get a loaner (g35) no matter how old or out of warranty your infiniti.

Disappointed

Purchased the M45 after owning a BMW 525, then a 2000 740IL. The Tech package of the M is awesome. Love the 3D GPS, voice activated controls, rear backup camera, A/C control seats (could be better), and overall looks. But from the very first oil change, have noticed using oil; not leaking, not smoking, but I have added from 1 to 2 quarts between changes. Also, moonroof leaks in any car wash, have had to have the AC serviced each year. Heated and cooled seats do not compare to the BMW. Ride is noisy, low-profile tires look great, but makes bumpy ride. If battery dies, no way to open the trunk (for jumper cables).

This car is simply amazing. With the luxury and performance combined together, few can match. Infiniti gets it just right. It is packed with luxury options to make it a true luxury car, while the 335hp V8 with firm suspension makes the car a true performer. It is not a sports car for sure, which it should not be, as it is a luxury sedan. This car makes the trip enjoyable no matter drive it fast or slow.

I am at the end of my 39 month lease and only have great things to say about this car. The acceleration is intoxicating. The sport package makes this car handle like a sports car. Great turning radius and people all the time comment and ask if the rims are aftermarket. These are the nicest factory 19 inch rims out. Pearl white paint glows and the interior is top notch. The seats in the sport package give just the right amount of support and navigation system works well. Overall it looks like I will soon be driving another one there is nothing out there I like more and it has had perfect reliability.

This is a remarkable car. I can't get over how well the Sport stick through corners. The active steering is a real bonus for "spirited" driving. Everything works well, although the lane departure warning can be annoying.

I love this car! I have owned it for 2 years and have no complaints. I owned a Corvette before this car and wasn't sure how I would adjust to driving a sedan but this one has it all. It performs well, the power is there, the transmission is very smooth and it handles corners beautifully. The interior is very comfortable and visually appealing. It has a sexy exterior (I added the rear spoiler). The technology is easy to use (although the voice activation takes some getting used to). The stereo is amazing and having XM radio is great. I have the Dolby surround sound and it is like sitting in a concert hall! Having the Bluetooth is handy. Keyless ignition and entrance is a great touch.

Purchased used w/4,000 miles, all options except DVD screen and heated rear seats. Great performance and handling for such a large car. Tested Lexus GS 430 and BMW 530 but M45 seemed much roomier in the back and quicker as well. Love the soft leather and rosewood, even though Lexus still more refined inside. Exterior styling also a little bland compared to E500 and GS 430. Nice exhaust rumble that's not intrusive when cruising at highway speeds. Glad I don't have sports suspension, supple ride that's only occasionally harsh over very large irregularities (especially if accelerating hard). Rides a bit noisier than Lexus, but expected given sporty personality.

Horse power and torque is incredible!

I originally had my sights on the QX56 but after test driving the M35 and M45, I decided to go with something sporty. The initial test drive with M35 wasn't quite satisfying, so I decided to test out the M45. The V8 on the 45 version has a great compromise on the bulkiness of the sedan. The car takes off like a rocket. The thrill on speed is just one of the best features, the stability is probably the second biggest accomplishment for this car. Body roll is minimal when serving through the lanes in high speed on the freeway. The manual shifting is precise and quick. The only recommendation I have for this car is a six-speed auto gear box insteaf of five and a small lift on the rear facia.

Great Sport Sedan!!!

The 2006 M-45 Sport is a great sport sedan and I think it is the best value of all the good sedans out there. If you compare it to its real peer group, BMW 545/550,MB E500/550,AUDI S-6, it is as fast or faster, handles and brakes better, has more user features in the interior, and is less expensive! My car is loaded with Voice-activated Navigation ,Bluetooth , heated and cooled seats,DVD,6-disc CD changer, leather, 19 in. brushed aluminum sport wheels, etc. It is the best driver's sport sedan I have ever owned. The acceleration is very quick (0-60 in 5.2 sec.), the brakes are phenomenal, and the handling is very flat around fast corners.

Love it

I originally was going to buy the GS 350, but after driving it several times, I felt cramped and I couldn’t even sit in the back seat with out slouching over. Once I drove the M45, it has plenty of room and power (more than the GS430) and costs less. It's a very civilized hot rod! Love it!

I have to say that I still have the same grin on my face as the day I bought the car. I have never driven a sedan that handles this well. I like to drive aggressively on mountain roads and the M is willing partner. Passengers are blown away by the technology, GPS, bluetooth, self adjusting cruise, lane departure warning I could go on and on. I have yet to have any problems with the car, just oil change. Did I mention the Bose 14 speaker sound! This car is tight! 12 hour drives are piece of cake!

I have owned a 02 BMW 330 sport sedan, a 03 BMW 540 sport manual 6 speed, and finally decided to give the japanese a try. The Infiniti M45 is by far the closest feel to the german's you can get in a japanese sports sedan. Great reliability, great styling, and many features. Problem with the car is the horrible gas mileage averaging 13.5 MPG in the city and that's 3.4 MPG less than my BMW 540. Tons of features but they are all low grade. For example..the seat heaters don't even compare to the BMWs, the sound system is very hollow and tin sounding (plastic like), shared dashboard gauges from the Altima, and last...the suspension is horribly rough on everyone in the car.

If you ever wanted a car that could do everything, the M45 is the car for you. It comes with every accessory known to man. It's one of those cars that you enjoy getting into every day to go to work or go on an outing. No matter where you go, people will be looking and admiring what you are driving. I have owned in my life time at least 12 vehicles from different makers and I can honestly say, I have found a home with the Infiniti M45.

My black Infiniti M45 looks great. It's fun watching heads turn from pedestrians and other motorists alike as I drive past. A full year into the ownership experience I still look forward to getting behind the wheel. The acceleration and torque remind me of the muscle cars I knew from the 60s. I've owned 2 of the last generation BMW 5 series. The M45 competes with them in performance, but beats BMW 5s in room, comfort, and technology. Voice recognition (my favorite feature) for the navigation, climate control, phone, and sound system are easy and intuitive. A backup camera is overkill in a sedan. My wife loves the air conditioned and heated front seats. M45 - Nice car!

Most comfortable and stylish car I ever owned. Performance is there every time you hit the accelerator. No need to take your eyes off the road because everything is voice activated, including blue tooth celluar phone service. Plush leather interior and 19" low profile tires. 14 speaker Bose sound system. I've owned Buick, Pontaic, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Caddilac, but this is the only car that I'm still excited every day I get behind the wheel. The only thing that makes having this car more pleasurable is taking it back to Ray Catena for scheduled maintenance. They give you 5 star service and treatment.

This car is an absolute pleasure to drive. The interior is very luxurious and the navigation system is very easy to use. I have had the 5 series BMW and I prefer this car for reliability, and interior comfort, (and the cup holders don't break!!!) Additionally, it has a very sporty, responsive feel that equals the bmw. I love it.

The Infiniti M45 handles like a sports car. It has cutting edge electronics-- the best navigation system available, laser cruise control, keyless ignition, rear camera, an audible warning if you get too close to the white line. Based on my experience, reliability is excellent. The only negative: 15-16 mpg. Since I drive about 8000 miles a year, the low milage doesn't cost me very much. To me, it's worth it to have such a high performing, comfortable and technologically advanced car.

This car is really fun to drive; terrific acceleration on the freeway. As a former Lexus owner, the road feel of the M45 is a welcome change from riding in a cocoon. The dash console is attractive but a little confusing. Sirius satellite radio is a big plus.

This M45 replaced a 2002 BMW7series. It was $30K less with most of the features and higher quaility. The V8 is as responsive and the trunk will handle 4 golf bags. The electronics function better than the 7 series and the gps screen is the best I have used. The only down side is this car is not a car for the winter season in Michigan (go for the M35 all wheel drive) We spend our winters in Fla. so its ideal. To sum up , this car is like driving a sports car with room for a foursome.

After owning from Porsches (11) to Bmw's (4) and various American cars spanning over 45 years, this rates as one of the most overrated and troublesome vehicles I have owned. What makes it worse has been no factory support for these problems, which have been mostly electronics that control safety function such as ABS,Traction Control,Etc.The selling dealer service manager did everything he could to solve the problems, even improvising on his own but was limited by the factory representatives. Back to German cars, forever!

A little harsh ride and quite noisy for a $50k plus vehicle. This clunker has been in the shop almost as many days as it's been on the road. "Smart" cruise control shuts off if headed into the sun. Lane departure system beeps when I'm in the middle of the lane. Brake cylinder needed to be repaired, door seal deteriorated, AND I ONLY HAVE 7,000 MILES ON IT!!! Looks great but Lexus makes a much better vehicle in the ES330 and GS series and the Lexus ownership experience is far superior (I also have a Lexus SC 430). Dealership treats me like I bought a Yugo. I have already traded this piece of crap after only 6 months on an ES 330.

Had my choices narrowed down to Audi A6 S line or the M45 Sport. Infiniti won hands down and didn't hurt being roughly $8000 cheaper with about the same equipment level. I know it doesn't have all the Audi features but the Audi doesn't have all the M45's equipment either. Truely a drivers car. The performance out of this 4000 lbs car is something you have to experience. Performance tires may pick up some noise depending on pavement otherwise as quiet as sitting in your living room. Controlled ride and appears to be screwed together pretty good.

I love it when BMW 5 series owners start messing with me - after I toy with them a little while, they are just a spec in my rearview mirror before they knew what hit them. The M45 Sport Tech is awesome, has incredible torque through all ranges. I compared this against the Lexus GS430, AudiA6, MercedesS430 & BMW545. The M45 Sport has all of the strongest features of each of those 4 wrapped into 1 incredible luxury rocket ship! Very roomy interior and trunk. Although Lexus has a few more electronic gadgets, I like the M45 navigation and heads-up controls better. The interior rocks, not a bunch of plastic like Lexus and not cold like the German makes. No wonder all the mags rated M the best.

I have been driving luxury vehicles since 1995 and I am absolutely blown away with my M45. Once I understood how to run the controls which are a little intimidating, I have been on the ride of my life....Watch out for cops. The interior is finally luxury for an Infiniti. This is my 5th Infiniti and the others ones had a very plastic interior. Not this one! So much better than the GS 430. You really must treat yourself!

I purchased the '06 Sport M45 w/the Journey/Tech packages.WOW! I've always owned German made cars, (My last 2 cars were an Audi A6 with bi-turbo,and a 5 series BMW) and this car BLOWS them away! Everything is in a sensible place and easy to reach.The engine is quiet and powerful.The handling on corners is very impressive.The rear wheel of the M45 turns about 1 degree in the opposite direction of your turn. It may not sound like much, but you'll be able to see and feel how it handles through turns. The GPS is much better than the one in my wife's BMW X5.Now for the downside, the lane departure system can be a pain in the neck if you love driving on winding roads.The M45 uses gas like it's free

After driving Tahoes for 10 years, I had to buy this vehicle after a test drive. Power and handling are superb, while the cabin is comfortable and quiet. The last time I had this much fun in a car was my '94 Corvette convertible, but now with my first grandchild, I needed a safe car with 4 doors and reasonable backseat space. The frontseats have more room than any other vehicle in it's class. The console is easy to use and I can even read all the buttons without my glasses. The Bluetooth handsfree technology works flawlessly, transferring calls from my cellphone into the cabin, when my phone is on in the car. Enough blithering, go take one for a test drive and you'll see what I mean.

Rarely when attempting to accelerate for a stop or slow speed, it gets stuck at 2,000 rpm and 20 mph and will not advance . You must take your foot off the accelerator and reapply slowly, Same with the manual mode. Can be dangerus when changing lanes in heavy traffic. To dealer 3 timers, they say they can not replicate this and it is fine. It is not fine, did this from day one. Some one said a software problem may exist as it is 1st generation software. I think I will trade in on a G35. I really like the M45 but but every time you want to get up and go you hold your breath because there is a chance it won't. Any help appreciated.

After driving a BMW M3 for three years without a ticket, it was time to quit while I was ahead. I had a yen to trade for a luxury car but did not want to give up on the performance side. The new M45 was perfect. Beautiful, very hi-tech, and silly fast. I found I gave up very little on the performance side, but gained nearly everywhere else. Wonderful car.

I love this car. I traded my 2003 G35 in for it which I loved but this is such an upgrade. The comfort on the road, the awesome Bose sound system, the handling and the speed for passing leaves one breathless. After looking at Beamers and Lexus, why would you buy one of those when you can have this??? I can see why Car and Driver mag selected it as the best in its 8-car class for luxury cars.

I have driven an X5, XK8 coupe, Range Rover and a S Type in the past 2 years. I have been HAMPERED with problems with the RR and the XK8 and finally decided to try somthing more reliable upon a freinds recommendation to try the M series. I literally left 5 minutes before signing the for an Audi 6 and thought I'd at the very least try this car. I did, I bought it and it's really a tremendous car. Did I just jinx myself? Anyway, to date love it. The air conditioned seats! What a treat. I'm 35 years old and it's the perfect sporty sedan for me. Chris J. Meza

I traded my 911 carrera for the performance, quality and "room". Previous car was an m5. So far i have 2500 mi. Build quality appears good and there is plentiful space in the cabin. Very poor pdi. Glue all over the car and the rear deck spoiler was warped on delivery. It was replaced after the second trip with another warped part(?). Has to go back again. Performance is acceptable for a 4000 lb. Vehicle, but not great- it's no m5.Fit and finish excellent. Dealer very cooperative and apolegetic for the problems.

After driving many competitors, selected the M45. What a wonderful car. Very luxurious and spacious for four people. The interior is very well done, liked (and got) the wood accents. This is the best handling and quickest sedan I have ever driven. The manual-shifting automatic works MUCH better than others I've tried. The shifts are very smooth, and it feels like it is meant to be used. I use it 90% of the time. The engine is just great, capable of quick acceleration from any speed. The navigation system has a learning curve, but is very useful and the voice feature actually works! Also like that the computer system supplements, but doesn't replace the audio and climate buttons.

You can spend over 80 thousand or less than 30 thousand, this car gives you everything you could desire in every car of every level. The ride, the comfort, the build, the smart intelligent intergration...Nothing was left untouched about the car. For those who desire that name of lexus, and mercedes think again. This is a must have car. I am a owner of a mercedes and lexus and acura, however this car takes the prize. You have to drive it to believe it.

This is by far the most amazing car I have owned. I drove the BMW 545 and the Lexus GS430. Feature wise, there is no comparrison. The m45 is the fastest of the group, with the best handling, and technology. The navigation system is amazing, and the sound system is the best I have heard. The motor never quits and gets you to 60 in 5.5 seconds or under....I have been very happy so far, I owned a g35 coupe before this, and really feel that Infiniti makes quality cars that are right up there with BMW and Mercedes.

Leased the car mainly becuase I don't think the resale value is there. I looked at the BMW 540i and almost purchase one, but the price difference between the M45 and the BMW 540 was too significant and could not justify it to myself. I'm glad I got the M45, I think the M45 is the best value out there. It's has more power then the Lexus 430 (previously owned). It's a nice car and a great value.

Negatives: Headliner "clicks",intermittent rattles,road feel & handling feedback compared to new BMW 5 Series is poor,wheel balance on front right was way off. Quirky steering wheel movement on freeways requires continuous tiny hand inputs probably due to 19" tires and sport suspension setup(too tight)After 3000 mi.& 3 months sold car to CARMAX for $48,000.

We love our new M45. It has all the luxury features we enjoyed in our 1999 Q45, plus the innovative features such as the GPS and top of the line DVD system. The car will absolutely fly! It has trememdous power, yet it is smooth as can be. It handles and corners quite well, in fact we drove the M45 sport version, and find little difference in how the regular version handles. Although the M45 appears to be smaller than a Q45 on the outside, inside it is just as large, with a much larger trunk. We cannot imagine a better luxury vehicle for the money!

This car is simply awesome. The power and road handling are outstanding. I have just finished the break-in period and I am starting to see how quick and agile this car is. I have the Tech and Journey packages and the technology in this car is incredible. Everything works well (once you figure out how to use it all). This is WAY better than any other car I have ever owned. The competition should be scrambling to catch up.

I have come to the M45 after 12 years of owning much higher-end luxry performance cars: Mercedes SL55, Jaguar XJR, Acura NSX. The M45 won me over with the only interior design comparable to the first-tier cars, and very reasonable performance for a 4 door sedan. Exterior design is uninspiring, sharing far too much with the Nissan Altima and Maxima. Highs: interior design, wheels, ride comfort, seating room, performance capability, value. Mediums: steering response, exterior styling, exterior fit and finish, paint quality, audio Lows: interior fit and finish (relative to class); buggy XM radio implementation; rear shade is $5000 option (because it is bundled with rear video screen)

The Infiniti-M series is the new benchmark in this class without a doubt. It takes all of the good qualites of the Lexus GS and BMW 5- Series and combines them into one complete package. The car is quick and handles well, and it feels like a real luxury car. The interior is beautifully finished and the exterior is very nice looking. This car has almost every feature someone could possibly want. Infiniti has hit a grand-slam with this car.

No other car has all of the features this came with. Bluetooth connectivity for the cell phone works great. The DVD surround sound is incredible. I suggest the Santana Supernatural DVD for testing this sound system. The backup camera is very helpful for parallel parking. The laser guided crusie control is great. You can watch DVD videos on the front screen if you are in park. This is great for when the wife is shopping and you want to kick back in the car. The power in the M45 is fantastic. You could not ask for more. ENJOY!!

I had a 2004 TL which I really liked. But, last weekend I test drove an M45 for fun and was immediately hooked on this vehicle. I traded in my TL and took over a demo with 8,000 km's on it. This vehicle is a true sports luxury vehicle. The power, handling and technology is out of this world. Even the geartronic is by far superior to my TL. The DVD audio system in my TL was the best I have ever heard until now.

The M45 Sport has met my expectations which were high to start with. It is both beautiful and a terrific driving experience. Number one would be the engine and drive train. Best feel of power and control I have ever experienced including BMW540i. It is both design and crafted with excellence and thought. The technology is very good but not quite up to the Acura RL, but I would take the drive train and vehicle design over the technology difference. The features are very extensive and user friendly. One can practically live in the car enjoying all the features and technology. It handles very well at all speeds and conditions as all the reviews showed. I have not been disappointed.

I have had this car for about two weeks now and it has been awesome! It replaces a G35 coupe and the difference in fit, finish and quality is amazing. I had two G35's and always was disappointed by the cheap and often squeaky interior. The M45 is a world apart in terms of materials and and the feel of quality. If anything, the car is faster too. There is no substitute for pure V8 power and torque! The list of technology and features on the car is a huge leap also. Especially if you love the gadgets like I do. I compared the Lexus GS and Acura RL and found the M45 to be the best choice for me. It is more of a SPORTS luxury car, but has all the features of the other two if not more.

I test drove the Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Audi, Cadillac, and finally the Infinity M45. Originally I wasn't planning on going to Infinity because I wasn't impressed with them from the outside. When the salesman brought out the new '06 M45 V8 Sport I was in love. It's sleek, stylish, and the interior leaves nothing to be desired. It's fun to drive, and as I live in the mountains, it handles curves and hills like a dream. The bose surround sound can't be touched by any of the other cars out there, and the bourbon and black leather interior is turning heads everywhere I go. Everyone wants to know what kind of car it is.

I must say I LOOOOVEE my new M45 Sedan. I opted for the Premium Pack. Sedan then the sport. Not to much difference really in suspension from what I'd seen during test drive. But you can't get the heated and reclining seats in the M45 Sport. For the money the performance, design, and technology are the best out of BMW, Audi, Acura, and Lexus. If you want a performing luxury sedan go with the Infiniti M. Its nice to be able to take a 530i BMW at the stop light and win!!! And as for the lexus GS430, you can leave them in your dust Too. INFINITI, It seems Ive become a definite part of the Family. This is my third car with them and they just keep getting better with every year and model.

My husband purchased an M45 a month ago and initially I felt it was not as satisfying as our 2002 Q45 due to firmness of ride and being slightly noiser. But after driving it and having it this past month, I have changed my mind 100%. I love driving it and after lowering the tire pressure find it is not noisey at all. It is the best of the 7 Infiniti's we have owned, (all Q45's except for my G35 Couple)

The M45 is almost perfect for me. I like the whole package with the exception of only a few things!!! It handles like a 2door sports-coupe and roomy enough for 5. This car out-runs most sports-cars!!!! Life's too short, so buy one now!!!! My lexus gs400 seats , fits me somewhat better but the M45's seats, has more lateral support. They should put Michelin a/s Pilot sports on this car. That would give a 10 out of 10 ride quality instead of a 9 out of 10. You'll also be able to drive it in the snow !

I purchased my M45 sport with tech and journey packages 3 weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! This is far and away the best all around car I have ever driven in this class. I test drove BMW 5 series, Audi A6, and Lexus GS430 before I purchased the M and in my opinion the M blows them away. The rear active steering (RAS) makes a subtle but noticeable difference in turning and cornering. The intelligent cruise control absolutely spoils you for long commutes! Why not drive the M45? Well, if you drive the M35 first (6 cyl,280 HP) , you'll love it. But if you then drive the M45 (8 cyl 335 HP) you'll never go back and it will cost you $7,000 more!

I just received my new M45 with the Premium Package, and I have to say it should be called the everything but the kitchen sink package! I have a 2004 FX45 that I love, but this M took my love for Infiniti to a whole new level. There is not a car out there in its class that can compete with all the first rate technology they use in this vehicle. You name it, it has it, and if it doesnt have it, you probably wont find it anywhere else either. Power, tech, comfort, convienece, looks, and a beautiful interior should be making all the other Makers questioning their line ups.

This is the car to own if in the market for something under 60,000. I drove the RL, the BMW 530, and believe it or not the Corvette. Though the Corvette was nice it was not really practicable for the family situation. The power this thing has beats any others in the same bunch. With the Acura everything is standard, but there are no options to get. This thing I have has the DVD player in the roof and on the dash. With rear wheel drive you have no need for SH-AWD. It has a camera for backing up, and trust me if you have never seen this check it out. Intelligent cruise control another thumbs up it really works. Lane changing thingy needs some work.
