  • A Fun Car with Luxury! - 2006 Infiniti M45
    By -

    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!

    I tested all the competitors(Lexus, Acura, Mercedes, and BMW). The M gives you the most bang for your buck. Ive got the technology package and it is unreal. 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!!

  • 2006 M45 Sport W/ Aero Kit - 2006 Infiniti M45
    By -

    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.

    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 its 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 youll see what I mean.

    This car blew me away, the interior, the technology, the power, the whole layout in my view blows away the Lexus GS430 & the BMW 5 series. Very impressed, and very happy with this purchase. Infiniti continues to impress me more & more.

  • M45 - positives and negatives - 2006 Infiniti M45
    By -

    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- its no m5.Fit and finish excellent. Dealer very cooperative and apolegetic for the problems.

    My black Infiniti M45 looks great. Its 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. Ive 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!

    Great car. As good as my BMW that I traded. Only had it for 3 weeks but I cannot find a single solitary problem. Fast, Great fun to drive, gets looks and waves and beeps. Love it. Kids love the DVD player. We do too. No backseat whining from the little ones.

    All around beautifully designed and built car that seems to have it all. Quality, luxury, performance and top of the line features. Zero problems after a year of driving. I do not know what more I would want in a car, and I have had many. Excellent machine, and in its class, an excellent value.

  • awesome vehicle - 2006 Infiniti M45

    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 kms 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.
