Hi!

I like to buy a used Infiniti . My heart said the m35h, but I like to buy a 2 years old car so I have fear about the hibrid...

Any m35h owner who has his car, please send me useful information to become an Infiniti owner :)

What about the m35h service prices?

Thanks!

Josh

M30 has not been built since 1992...or are you talking the base m35 vs m35h?

M30d or M35h (2012), the diesel or the hibrid...

The M30D is a diesel mode that was sold in Europe only ... never made available in North America.

It has about 240 HP, as I recall reading quite a while back, so less than the M35 amd M35 (hybrid), but lots more torque (than the M35 anyway).

Not clear to me which would be a better buy for Europe - both will have better gas mileage than the gas-powered only M35 versions, of course.

Sorry to not be of help, but I doubt many people here have any experience with the Diesel version of the M3x models.

(P.S. I changed the title of this thread to make it clear that you were talking about the Diesel M30D ...)

Thanks!

I need some experience for the hibrid version. I like to buy the hibrid one, but there is only 5 year warranty for the battery, and I like to know any other problems in the future (electric motor, the transmission...) or this is a Japan technology so I only need to change oil and press the throttle for the 350HP hibrid...:)

I've never heard of one of their batteries going bad, or any major issues with the M35h in general. Quite the contrary really, I hear nothing but good things about them.

So yeah, change the oil and press the throttle!
