2006 INFINITI M45 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the performance and luxury of the 2006 INFINITI M45. Many appreciate its powerful engine, smooth ride, and high-quality interior features like the premium sound system and comfortable seating. However, some owners have raised concerns about maintenance issues, particularly with electronics and brakes, which have impacted their overall satisfaction. Despite these challenges, the vehicle is often viewed as a compelling option compared to competitors like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class."
This is a great car. I was shopping for a E550 when I test drove this M45. The performance and handling are great for a sedan. The rear wheels adjust slightly when cornering giving you an interesting sensation in your "seat" the first few times you go hard into a corner. The 330+ HP and torque really pull with medium to full acceleration. I bought it with 19K miles four years ago and I have 110K on it now (05/20/13). Great running car, high reliability, lower maintenance costs compared to other luxury cars, and fun to drive. Seems to like to run at or above (not that I would know about this) the speed limit on the highway and is very comfortable for long trips with heated and cooled front seats. This car is making it hard for me to find a replacement. Features like keyless entry and push button start (without having to remove your key fob from your pocket), two sun visors per side (so you can have one in front and one to the side for those winding drives into the sun), GPS, voice activated Blue Tooth, etc are easy to get used to once you have them. I don't like the styling of the new M (2010-????) - to me it looks too much like the G and if you're going to pay more for the larger car, casual observers should be able to easily tell the difference. If you're able to find this model style with lower mileage, I believe you're going to be very happy with your purchase. Enjoy!
December 27, 2012Smooth and powerful through the full of gear range. Great fit and finish last through years of ownership. Technology package years ahead of the rest of the industry. Dirving is pure pleasure, handles curves and rough spots well. No issues.
January 26, 2011Depending on mileage & condition will determine the value . Any Infiniti M45 can be compared to the BMW 5 Series , Mercedes Benz E- Class , Toyota Avalon & many more ! This car has more features then most cars today . For example , premium sound , leather seats , cooled & heated seating , navigation etc !

May 14, 2008I just got my lemon law check last week. Only 10% of my total lease. The electronics totally suck, acceleration is good, handling OK, the vehicle dynamic control kicks in too soon when I drive hard. The brakes are too small for this car. I warped rotors front and rear. Dealing with Infiniti and the dealer on the problems was a nightmare. Finally had to hire an attorney. I would never buy another Infiniti.
