Get rid of the Xenon lights. I see no advantage to me or the oncoming cars
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
Head Lights throw a minimum distance. Difficult to see road especially in bad weather. Standard Headlights throw much further. I am waiting for my dealer to check alignment.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
I like the tire pressure info, hands-off phone calls (Bluetooth to my phone), quiet ride, great air filter - I find myself switching to recirc less often, sat radio, keyless ignition (I can put on my seat belt while it is starting, saving time) and keyless entry are great.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
The side-mirrors tilt when reversing. This is annoying and there should be a way to turn off this option, but leave the L/R switch turned to L. The cruise control safety feature is good for rental cars. Owners know their cars and shouldn't have to turn on the feature EVERY drive!
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
Purchased this car after finding that the Lexus competition does nothing when you press the pedal. Finally, the Lexus salesman took me to a downhill ramp, asked me to floor it, and Voila! It moved. Big Deal. The M35 has excellent acceleration at city speeds, even uphill. Touch the gas and enjoy serious forward motion. Has a quiet ride (surprise, one review said it was noisy) and it just glides over streets, including potholes. I'm still marveling at the fab suspension. Love the tech features and the thoughtfulness in allowing us to do things in more than one way - you're not wedded to using the voice system. Best of all, it talks to my Treo 650, making hands-off phone calls a breeze!

Lighting for the garage door opener control would have been nice.
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
This is an awesome car. My 2004TL was a fine vehicle but this car is tops. It has outstanding performance, drop dead looks, lots of leg room and quality workmanship throughout. I've only had it for two weeks now but I am truly enjoying my drives each time I have to go somewhere. I can't imagine anything any better for the price. Infiniti really has a winner with this one.

2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
I wanted a new car so bad. I test drove Audi, BMW, Porshe, 350Z, Lexus and Acura. I went to infiniti to test drive G 35 which initially i wanted to buy. After i finished test driving i was pretty happy with its performance, but i wasn't really happy with interior design, Suddenly my eyes got stuck at the M series which came out liek a day before i went to the dealership. WHen I got inside of that, looked at the interior, i was amazed and i decided immediately that if i buy a car, that would be infiniti. Then i test drove it, the performance was awesome.. I am a great infiniti fan now. I love my car and I can bet that it can beat BMW, Lexus, Audi, Acura easily by price, performance and design.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
Navigation, rear camera, manumatic transmission,interior/exterior styling. Get the Journey and Nav Performance and handling beat all others in its class (braking, acceleration, handling, you name it), nice throaty V6 sound with plenty of get up and go, outstanding tech (Nav system and 5.1 Surround sound AMAZING!), very spacious interior, solid build quality and fit/finish.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
Rear end could be a little more distinctive (what's up with those huge tail lights?), car this price should have auto-sensing rain wipers & auto door locks (software upgrade?), but these are minor issues compared to its HUGE strengths!
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
Have owned a new M35 Sport for 3 weeks now and fall in love with it more every day! After exhaustive research and test drives of competitors (A6, 5-series, E- series, GS300), arrived at the M as hands-down winner. Perfect blend of luxury & performance - with the luxury of a Lexus or MB, performance of a BMW, at a much lower price. The M has that "bank vault" door sound that tells you immediately it's a quality, solid vehicle. Performance, even with the base 280hp V6, is top in its class. Test drove the V8 also and WHOA, it's scary fast. V6 is plenty for me and probably is for most people. This car gives BMW a real run for its money. Drive one before you buy German!

Lighted homelink buttons on rearview mirror, automatic locks @ 10MPH, reduce road noise, front seats could be wider.
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
This is a classy car. Great fit and finish inside and out. Has a nice exhaust note. Engine & Transmission are top notch. Handles like a sports car.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
The rear seat room. This car has the most leg room in the backseat than any of the other competitors. I would gladly trade rear seat room for reliability any day though.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
I suggest that Infiniti concentrate on rectifying the issues with these cars. The dealership has stated that their hands are tied by Infiniti. The service depts are not encouraged to investigate issues, the service depts have to follow Infiniti's guidelines - even if that means ignoring problems!!!!
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
After shelling out nearly $50K you expect that all of the features you paid for should work properly. Apparently I was mistaken! My Bluetooth does not work. My Nav system works when it wants to. My sunroof has been replaced twice. The headliner will not stay in place any longer. My fuel mileage is in the 12-15 mpg range (not acceptable). The road noise is loud at freeway speeds. The "smart key" - not so smart Reverse camera shorts out. Lane Departure Warning system sounds alarm for no reason. This car has been a complete disappointment. Infiniti has blamed me for these defects, and they refuse to buy the car back. Run away screaming from your local dealership!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
shrink the control knob in the middle or delete it or move it out of the middle. Also, add the auto trunk close like the FX. option of a hidden passport would be nice.
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
This is my 4th infinit. I30, I35, FX35, and now the M35x. GREAT car. Super driving. It's a driver's car and yet has comfort for passengers. very quiet for midsized sedan.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
The interior is beautiful. I have an Umbria Grey exterior with bourbon interior and it's stunning. I love the comfort of the vehicle and the look/feel of the cockpit, controls and instrumentation. The car is smooth, powerful and responsive. Handling is excellent. Very solid feel to the car.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti M-Series?
Road/Tire noise-needs to be dramatically reduced.Bluetooth hands free--need to be improved.Volume is too low on my end, sound quality/clarity is poor on the other end.People I call tell me it sounds like I'm underwater or in a wind tunnel when I'm at cruising speed. Passenger seat needs improvement.
2006 Infiniti M-Series Review:
I have an M35x and absolutely love it. That said, there is room for a couple of improvements. I only have two significant issues with this car--the first is road/tire noise. At highway cruising speeds, especially on concrete-type road surfaces, the road and tire noise is too obtrusive for a high-end midsize luxury vehicle like this one. I don't demand Lexus-like silence (in fact I've never owned a Lexus and have little basis for comparison), but the M should be at least as soundproof as my BMW X5, and, unfortunately, it's not even close. My second issue is that the Bluetooth hands free function needs improvement. Not loud enough non my end and not clear enough to people I call.
