I have been pushing my new-to-me '07 M35 Base for about 4 weeks now. Bought her with 40,400 miles on her and she now has 43,000 on her.
Kinda "defaulted" into this one... I made the mistake of purchasing an '07 Cadillac CTS w/nav on April 1st (oh the irony). While fun to drive it had timing chain issues with only 38K miles on the clock and even though the repair was covered under warranty, I was still left with the impression that it was going to happen again one day while I was still paying on it... (Basically, they said it's oil change interval dependent...
which I just was not down for).
I picked up the CTS from the dealer service dept. and drove straight and direct over to my local Infiniti dealer.
Really did not expect to leave with an M... But hey.... the car sold itself. Especially coming out of that CTS!!!
I've had the car back for service on a warped front rotor, windows out of sync, a/c condenser failure, and rear spoiler seemed to be coming loose. All covered under the warranty, so I'm not TOO bothered. So long as it's not major engine issues, I'm good.
I love driving the car!!! With all the power it has It takes a lot more discipline however to get any decent fuel economy out of it. Best I've seen thus far is 23.9mpg.
I wish it was a little quicker to respond on downshifts, but I think that is the "speed hooligan" in me speaking.
Great car! Here's hoping for a good and long ownership experience!
