Whats your most favored feature of the M45?

[PalmerWMD]

Read the poll carefully before posting.

This poll is aimed at owners those who have test driven at a dealer and event hose who have just ridden in it or admired it from the curb and examined it numbers...

Its all subjective so post away!

Fred...What do you like best about the M45?

[AZhitman]

My favorite feature? The air-conditioned seats. Theyy're incredible.

[szh]

All your choices in the poll are good! Tough to pick just one ...

I like the boldness of Cadillacs and the quality of Nissans. M45 gives both.

And oh man what a thrill ride! It'll get down and boogie with the best of them!

I like the fact that it has been a failure in the market,and about to be replaced by what I feel the most desirable looking car in Infinitis history,bar none,and its history will drag the resale value down on the new one enough to make it the first car i may be interested in enough to make me want to trade in the ole q!

[elwesso]

I cant vote because I cant pick one.. All those things I like about it, but theres stuff I also dislike about it..

But if I had to pick one Id go with the interior..... Sporty, but still those touches of class...

I'm with you, there.

Premium Package, Tech Package, with Navigation, for about $20,000.00 - That's what I want!

[elwesso]

I really hope that infiniti has kept the same standards of longevity as our Qs have handled..... I have high hopes but its too early to have an opinion.....

Which maks it REALLY difficult for me to keep putting money in my Q!!!

Of course, if i buy an M, I have to drop it, add 19" SF Winning rims, the supercharger... Damn. It's a money pit no matter what!

[AZ94Q]

I LUST after the Air conditioned seats..

Not only is the leather perforated, but it's cooled..

that is a GODSEND in AZ..

The M45 in Japan is known as a Yazuka vehicle... that says it all right there

[AZ94Q]

I tell you what chips my hide..

The new Q has a real nice sound system. It's at least somewhat comparble to leveinson, and the rest of the best OEM..

12 inch woofer, ton of component speakers..

The M has a somewhat weak system... Don't even tell me aftermarket, it just wouldn't look right on the Q/M...

[dougs98Q45]

I like the fact that the general public doesn't seem to know about it. That means prices drop and the 'uniqueness' stays high. It has had transmission/computer problems so it's not a 'perfect' car but the bang for the buck (factoring in performance, reliability, features & style- all of which this car seems to be at or near the top in) make this a GREAT car. And that's before you do mod. #1.... Basically, it's one of the few cars out there I could buy that is better than what I drive (for my tastes) and it won't break the bank. Not much else out there that won't....

[Jesda]

I agree with you AZ. The sound system in the M could afford to be MUCH better. The Bose/Clarion setup in the 94 Q is pretty clear from what I've experienced, while my 92 sounds like someone attached a giant woofer to a shower radio.

12" woofer? Really? Wow!

Power, sweet Infiniti power

[AZhitman]

The "soul".

Every Infiniti I've ever driven has one. Sounds hokey, and you may laugh, but it "speaks" to me.

And that's something I can't say about many cars.

Glad to see you here in this forum, Greg! Please visit often!

I guess I shouldnt be putting my 2 cents in since i have the m35 (I didnt vote ) but I have to say either the smart key or the value of the car.

I'll probably upgrade to the 45 in a year or few months, but just the car itself is awesome. Rides nice, options are great and looks amazing

[carbuff]

It was not just one M45 feature that captured me. It was the entire persona of the car that excited and satisfied me. The car simply reeks of power and quality.

I love the exterior style. I love the interior. Behind the wheel I have a sense of immediate response from its engine and transmission.

Little things like the size and shape of the side mirrors make my driving so much easier. I think that they are the best I have seen on any car.

I like the lane departure system and the backup camera. The dash controls are easy on my old eyes.

One feature of the M45, I think not. Its the entire package that sold me and continues to validate my opinion with each mile I drive.

Carbuff, I think you have me beat as one of the oldest members of this forum!

[carbuff]

szhosain, remember . . . a good cheese has to age before it reaches its peak. I not only have aged, I reached my peak years ago and have been riding the other side for a long time.

Enjoy your life. Having an Infiniti goes a long way to adding to that enjoyment.

[szh]

Absolutely!!!!

I have been driving an Infiniti model of some sort (this is my third) since March of 1991 and love their cars! Unique, powerful, easily recognized on the road, wonderfully techie, etc.

[ericbumski]

Just a quick correction:Not Yazuka, It's Yakuza(Japanese Mafias).

[lswaidz]

Maybe if you has said 340-hp motor, but not the transmission I would have voted for that one... after driving a Nissan with a CVT transmission I don't know if I'll be able to get used to the hard shifting (especially in the mornings), super-lag filled downshifting 5-speed.

[GNR4ALL]

i love the built in stare feature..................... You pull up to a red light and all the other people stare at your car!

[infinitedrift]

I love that it has so many buttons for me to play with.

I have the same feature, but I purchased mine off the after market rack.

[scottjays]

My 2008 M45 S is rated at 325Hp. Which M 45 HP is 340??

[Mark Linkous]

Hello,Scott, the 2003-2004 M45 was rated at 340 horsepower. It probably had to do with the old testing procedures versus the current for rating horsepower. Many cars, Japanese especially, saw drops of 15-20 after the new tests.Cheers,M.L

I'd have to say the unique look of the Y34 gen is what sold me on my 04. They're rare to see and they don't look like all the other overly-curvy, bland luxury cars. The sharp lines is somewhat retro and is almost defiant of the latest trend in automobile design. Combine that with Nissan torque, tons of electronic creature comforts AND a fantastic interior and you've got one helluva car. All for a more-than competitive price. Makes me savor my M45 all the more as it took me over a year to find.
