  • Awesome Car! - 2003 Infiniti M45

    Ive had my M45 for about a couple months now and this car is a rocket. I really dont understand the "experts" saying its a ugly car. I get looks everywhere I go and people love it. Super fast!

    I love this car. Awesome power, very tight stable ride. Dont understand all the auto magazine gripes: It takes all of 10 minutes to figure out the radio/climate controls, and then its 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 Ive ever owned, but its nice, and the manual mode works better than I thought it would... If you like this car, drive it and buy it

  • Fun Ride - 2003 Infiniti M45

    This car is truly a wolf dressed in sheeps clothing. Its benign exterior looks give no indication of the monster under the hood. Acceleration is "push you back in your seat" quick, and handling is precise. Anyone who picks a fight with this car will lose. Its insulting to this car to obey speed limits. Yes, trunk space is poor, they have wedged the fuel tank in between the rear seat and trunk. Alledgedly this is a safety issue.

  • Better than Benz - 2003 Infiniti M45
    By -

    The M-45 has better suspension and more comfortable seats than the Mercedes S430 that I traded for it. Exhilarating performance and lots of neat technology features, such as DVD based GPS, laser controlled cruise control, tire pressure readout, and satellite radio. All at reasonable price. I cant understand why I dont see more of them on the road.

  • Still drives very well - 2003 Infiniti M45
    By -

    This car had lots of positives, but the few negatives does sour our ownership experience. Our M45 has a very unique look, which Ive come to like. The interior is still very nice. Our car still drives very well - it doesnt feel like 108K mi. The power is very impressive. The aluminum suspension components cut unsprung weight. A lot of things have broken, which is upsetting. Infiniti service writers are nice, but they will not fight for the customer. Our air bag light has been on since a hair over 50K mi. The warranty is good up to 7yr/70K, but they wouldnt fix it. The oil issue stinks. Due to the bad service, I wont buy again.

  • Great Car! - could be better - 2003 Infiniti M45

    The M45 allows you to move through traffic effortlessly. it ahs the power enter the hihgway at speed so that you dont 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.

  • Bad Ass M45 - 2003 Infiniti M45
    By -

    I have wanted this car since I saw the Gloria/Cedric models on the Nissan website in Japan. When I heard they were bringing it here and putting a V8 in the car I knew it was the care for me. The American auto reviewers have blasted this cars looks for some reason, but I have had more positive comments on its beauty and style than I can count over the last 2 months. It just goes to show you never take a reviewer at his word, investigate for yourself. my car is Diamond Grafite with crome wheels, tinted windows and every goodie available, I love it and will buy another when my lease is up!

  • My M45..these cars rule!! - 2003 Infiniti M45
    By -

    Just got my M45 about a month ago and Im very happy with it. I just smoke every car I go against and I love the power. I have a Black loaded w/chome wheels (real pimp) and enjoy getting behind the wheel and driving everyday. Faster than any car I ever had and handles decent for a big car.

  • A mans car with a womans touch - 2003 Infiniti M45
    By -

    This car is fun. It leaps out from the corner with a muted snarl that is more felt than heard. Acceleration is breathtaking for a car this size. Handling is smooth and responive with steering just a touch tight at low speed. The transmssion is smooth and quiet though the alternate auto-stick mechanism seems clumsy. All in all this is a great car delivering major driving pleasure and value with relatively few flaws.
