Just purchased a 2010 M35x, Solid through and through. Incredible performance for a sport sedan. Interior is well made, with African rose wood trim. back seat in very spacious. Bose stereo sounds great. have the techno package. Driving the car feels very stable and quiet. Seats are very comfortable. Interior materials are high quality. If 303 HP doesn't move you, nothing will. Best car that has ever been part of my fleet. Looked at BMW and Mercedes. Reliability is much better with the infiniti

2010 M 35 Acceleration/Braking Defects

I leased a new 2010 M 35. This was my 9th Nissan/Infinity vehicle since 1996. This vehicle has been a huge disappointment. The vehicle has demonstrated low speed and high speed rpm increases while downs shifting. At high speeds, this is causing additional wear and tear on the drive train as evidenced by a large clanking noise. At low speeds, this is causing excess wear and tear on brakes. In both situations, it poses a safety hazard. Nissan/Infinity claims this is within the normal operating range, but the problem is significant and widespread as evidenced by Nissan/Infinity's own service people and engineers. Infinity will be forced to address this very soon or face a Toyota situation.

M35 Resolution to rough down shifting

In regard to the post below: Infiniti released a reflash for the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to resolve this issue. (7 SPEED A/T; HARSH 4-3 DOWNSHIFT ON DECELERATION; ITB09-032) The software patch made a world of difference in the shifting of my M. No more 4-3 downshift problems and much better shifting in all gears as well as Gas mileage improved!!! I'm happy now and have gained acceptance once again in Infiniti.

Breaking Problems

While I had great hope for my 2010 M35, it has serious breaking and down shifting problems. This must be addressed by Infiniti. Even service reps have reported "problems with the 7-speed transmission." While it looks great and drives superbly on a highway, the can is like a bucking- bronco when braking and decelerating.

M35 Is a Competitive Winner

Carefully reviewed, tested, and analyzed Toyota Avalon 2011 Limited, Hyundai Genesis, Acura TL, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes Benz C class, and Infiniti M35. Purchased the Infiniti M35 because of these four advantages (ranked in order) Price (less than $39,000 with $11,000+ incentive), exterior/interior design and fit, visibility/safety, and driving comfort/performance. In first 1,000 miles of city/highway driving MPG is 24.6. Its turning circle and panic braking capability are excellent. Instrument panel is easy to read both day and night; blue-oriented night feature is a nice touch. Only negative: Noise from engine acceleration -- this is no silent hybrid powering up when the light turns green!

Not a competitive luxury car.

For a luxury sedan: 1]Unacceptable wind/road noise at highway speed 2] Exceptionally fussy/confusing console stack controls diverting way too much driver attention from the road 3] Unintuitive & clumsy software controlling all the comfort, audio & nav features 4]Nav system very irritating & can't change destination other than by voice command when car is moving [if u don't have an accent or impediment] 5]Baseline audio system weak compared to Lexus/BMW 6]Console placed for access by a contortionist 7] Bluetooth software couldn't read my cell phone book 8]No routine maintenance service plan included & a cheap touch for a luxury car 9] Seatbelt retractors don't release when leaning forward.

Simply Phenominal

I'm now in my 4th week of owning my 2010 M35X and this car has proven to deliver a tremendous balance of luxury that is complimented with attributes of a sports. I've owned an Acura TL- Type S, a Lexus GS300-Sports and an Avalon Limited, Each of the cars drove me nuts with rattles and phantom noise. Although these were fine cars, none delivered the driving experience of the M. I'm also thrilled to report that my M has been rattle free with no phantom noise. The seats are incredibly comfortable and the lumbar support is excellent. This was a huge factor in my purchase decision because I suffer from back and neck issues. My M35 is, by far, the best car I've ever owned.

I absolutely love it

I just bought M35. I absolutely love it. I know looks are subjective but I love the look of this car. Have looked at and tested ALL models in this class (Audi A6, BMW528, GS350, Jag XF, Acura RL, E350 and even Hyundai Genesis). Each of them has their strengths and each of them has their weaknesses. M35 - Much more car for the money! The interior is great and very Spacious inside, the outside is soo sleek. With perhaps one or two exceptions Infiniti has thought of everything with this car. The gas mileage it is not bad either (7 speed tran +303 HP plus 20 gal gas tank) so far 19.2 MPG combined for this level luxury, technology and comfort.

I just bought M35S. First off that is one BEAUTIFUL car! I know looks are subjective but I love the look of this car. M35 - Much more car for the money! With perhaps one or two exceptions Infiniti has thought of everything with this car. Very spacious inside and Premium Bose, which is way better than the Harman Kardon stereo in 2010 E350 I have tested. The gas mileage it is not bad either (7spd tran+303 HP) so far 19.2 MRG combined for this level of sophistication, luxury and comfort.

Great Car

After doing a lot of research decided to buy a M35 Sport. The M-35 is very quiet, smooth and the build quality is great. So far no rattles. Price of the car was very reasonable together with high reliability and better warranties helped me make the decision to buy. We have also owed Infiniti before and had no problems.

Luxurious, well-built and sporty

Super impressed with this car (so far)! We got a super deal as well since this ’10 last model year. We've owned Mercedes (S, CLK, & E - Class), BMWs, and Audis in the past, but too many trips to the shop! Time to switch to Japanese for the reliability factor... Would have paid another 5-10K for a similar model from MB or BMW! The interior of the car is equally as stunning as the performance. All of the functions, including the navigation, are extremely easy to use. We love the iPod dock in the center console, as well as the ability to use an external flash drive to import music into the car's memory for playback. Fit and finish is outstanding, and get lots of compliments on the look.
