Infiniti M37 Review | Consumer Reports

[@Waffleater1]

It looks really good in black. This color does it no justice.

[@cardude1992]

i'd buy this over some german sedans simply because these are very rare on the roads.

[@TruAgape123]

Renault is not a straw man. You're right in that, Nissans reliability decline is quicker than Infinit's. But make no mistake, Infiniti's have lowered their reliability too. The last q45 racked up only an AVERAGE reliability rating. the i35's have oil consumption and timing chain issues. The M has not kept the MUCH BETTER THAN AVERAGE rating it started out with. Renault's philosophy of cutting cost in at the expense of reliability has affected Nissans and Infiniti in a hit or miss approach.

[@juukame]

in all honesty, how often do you have a third person in the back? and if you do i doubt it'll change your mind on the car...and it's not like you're gonna be the one sitting there if it's your car :).

[@MrMightyZ]

Does the newer V8 still have the oil burning issue?

[@stevz0r]

is that an iron ring????

[@TruAgape123]

Renaults ownership of Nissans is slowly lowering Nissans long-term reliability. The once bulletproof VQ engine now suffers from oil consumption, bad timing chain guides, bad alternators, bad motor mounts, transmission issues. Renault makes me sick!

[@budzbudzbudz]

What are you talking about?? My 2010 VQ37 still drives like new, 9 years later...

[@gsteel98]

@@budzbudzbudz how much miles is on it?

[@flor201066]

This is the most reliable Luxury sedan there is. Everything is red. Unlike the germans.Mercedes,BMW,Audi and vw. Horrible reliability. But at least you'll be at the side of the road in class.

[@TruAgape123]

The 3.0 vq which is before Renault was FLAWLESS! After Renault, several models with the 3.5 vq have oil consumption, bad timing chain guides, bad piston rings, things COMPLETLY FOREIGN TO THE POST RENAULT 3.0vq. Renault has a long history of unreliablity. And now they own Nissan. At least Honda's transmission problems didn't prevent the overall rating of Accords, and TL's from falling below a full red circle, despite the black one for the transmission.

@M4st3rm1nd Honda copied the Nissan/ Infiniti center console design. This design first appeared in the 2001 Infiniti Q45.

[@bigswol34]

The comment at 0:43-0:49 answered my question.. I WANT ISOLATION!!

[@TruAgape123]

....some is on Used cars to Avoid list.... It should say "SOON" is on Used Cars to Avoid list...

[@NeutralGenericUser]

I love this car. I want one so badly!

[@primeholyassasin20]

On the whole, i find this car favorable, but i heard in other reviews with the sport and technology packages, things get a lil awkward. Heard the ride gets too firm with sport package, and technology package keeps interfering, not synchronizing coherently like the germans. Still, leave off those two packages, and don't push it TOO hard, u get a nice interior, and on the whole a nice car. But I think the 5 series and E-class till rule the roost.

[@SanDiegoInnOut]

@michaelpoczynek I would starkly disagree with you. The overall gaudy design is more of a Buick, not reminiscent of the simple lines of a BMW. Makes me question if you've looked at the BMWs that you've supposedly owned.

[@TruAgape123]

I have since responded to jaymum23 with several posts. And I have yet to see them here. Why not? Thank u!

[@TruAgape123]

(don't) in providing such a score, manufacturers would be held accountable for their older models, and how those models impact that models reputation as a whole. Cause knowing what I know now about the 2003 Murano and how bad it has aged, I would not be willing to buy a new Murano despite its current AVERAGE or BETTER reliability rating. The Muranos reputation rating would take into consideration the how the 10year old model aged along with the current 1yr old for a models reliability profile

[@MarcG7424]

I guess a GS it is then thanks for helping me decide

[@khmerbraveheart]

I had the GS. It was trash.

[@middimar]

Hi everyone, need help. I have an Infinity g37x 2013 (without the GPS feature). I really want to connect my smartphone (galaxy 4) to the car's audio system to play music. Neither the bluetooth or the USB connectivity transfers any sound to the car. any tips thx?

[@DJEddieXZ]

Buy an aux cord and plug it into the aux jack.

[@dylangagne9272]

Once you plug in your phone push the left arrow and push the play button

[@TruAgape123]

Nissans/Renault fall to AVERAGE or worse in a few short years, while Hondas and Toyotas maintain red marks even in the 10th year.

[@lexusES350h]

Nissan is nice, but they are the worst out of reliaility when it comes to japanese cars. My cousin had many problems with his altima hybrid.

[@SanDiegoInnOut]

@cardude1992 However, I think that the German sedans (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi) are built to last awhile longer than Infiniti, Lexus, Acura. However, that's just my educated guess.

[@SavageListener]

this car looks good at some angles and hideous at others.

[@TruAgape123]

Now that Renault owns Nissan, Nissan's reliability is slipping. They rank AVERAGE or worse after a few short years. Few rank BETTER THAN AVERAGE in that time. Engines consume oil, have bad timing chain guides. Transmissions, alternators, motor mounts all go bad. When Renault was in the US it got all black marks in CR testing. Now that they own Nissan, their AWFUL record is rubbing off on Nissans models.

[@Sin1505]

in Germany you will find Mercedes cab :)

[@Johncarson9113]

@xoquixxoqafxo Just imagine how much faster Infiniti's new Flag Ship sedan will be when thier Mid sized sedan already has the equivelant power and standards to some more expensive Full size luxury sedans in this market like the LS460. The new Infiniti full size sedan will probably have 450 HP standard better, features and a hefty but justifiable price tag unlike many other cars in this market, for example the Lexus SC coupe, that thing is smaller then a VW Eos & it cost 12XXX more, and for what?

[@netman88]

Very good review. But this car may not be for me :)

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

I hate this new M37/M56, the styling is just ugly, too many curves. The previous generation looked way better. V8 engine IMO is kind of lazy, its a 5.6L and produces only 420hp? I find it rather weak since LS460 makes 380hp from 4.6L.I think i would rather take the new 5 series or Acura TL

[@LTF85199]

front view looks like its face is swelling up

[@NeutralGenericUser]

WTF? How does it look Korean? Korean cars basically stole Japanese cars' designs and internals, and once they were done with that, they hired German designers and stole German designs -.-

[@nickolastiguan]

When I was in Narita, Japan. I saw the Japanese use the Nissan version of this car as an airport taxi... Hmm not sure if I want to drive around in a taxi

[@michaelpoczynek]

I had one of these for a week, and have owned several BMW's. This is a great attempt at a BMW copy. Very nice, but not a BMW. Gee I wonder where they got (stole) the "M" from? Good value for the money. But not a BMW.

[@Toyota4Life]

Lexus GS F-Sport .

[@cooly1245]

lol this is very true!!=
