Replying to: acdiver (Dec 19, 2005 12:41 pm) Congrats on your new ride!   Why don't you stop by the ongoing Infiniti M35/M45 2006+ discussion? You'll find a lot of enthusiastic owners there and all kinds of conversation, both past and present. It's probably the best place for specific M35 questions.   Oh, and welcome to our Forums!!

Replying to: ckelly14 (Sep 29, 2005 5:15 pm) Does anybody know if they increased in head room in the GS for 2006? I was going to go and test drive but based on what people over 6 feet tall are saying, I'm only going to if they addressed this problem in the 2006 model.   Thanks.

Replying to: sullyak (Dec 20, 2005 8:28 pm) The M35 has much more head room front and "especially" back than the GS or the RL.   I will also have a problem with son-in-law but he will have to live with it or fight my wife for her spot in front which isn't much better.....

Replying to: sullyak (Dec 20, 2005 8:28 pm) The new GS model ('06) has reduced headroom.

Replying to: eyeguy1 (Dec 26, 2005 8:18 pm) M45 Sport with 7,000 miles. Not one single problem with mechanicals or tires. 2003 G35 Coupe, 25,000 miles, not one single problem of any type. 2003 MB SL500, 25,000 miles...not one single problem of any type.....multiple problems of every type.

Replying to: eyeguy1 (Dec 26, 2005 8:18 pm) I've had two problems in 9500 miles, although only one is related to mechanical. The moonroof rattle has been fixed. The "mechanical" problem was a driver seat that became loose enough to slide about 1 cm with harder stops. They had to order a new bracket which fixed it (one week wait for part).   Others have complained about a pulling to the side when braking. Mine stops perfectly straight (I've even tested it without hands on the wheel--in a safe place, of course).   Handling and performance are great. The trade-off is mileage. I've had to replace one tire (a piece of metal went through the side-wall). It was pricey.

Replying to: byu1 (Sep 17, 2005 11:40 pm) Dear All,   Thank you for this message board and comments. Really helped me in making decision between GS 300 and M35.   They are both great cars; can't go wrong either way.   But, having driven both cars multiple times, I must say M35 beats GS 300 in terms of fun to drive and cool factor. M is better in every area, particularly acceleration and handling.   Purchased new M35 sport liquid platinum yesterday, and it is a dream. Solicited bids on both cars. Best deal was on the GS 300, dealer out of south FL. Will sell car for 40K new (MSRP 46,174) and would ship to my front door for 40,500. M pricing is not as flexible. M appears to be hotter car and could not find it in Southeast for less than 288 dollars over invoice: m35 sport non-jouney, splash guards, full size spare and trunk mat: 41,288 and 41,487 actual price quotes in south. Invoice was roughly 41K.   Regards. Replies to this message: carnaught (Dec 31, 2005 9:45 am) bartalk3 (Jan 03, 2006 10:29 pm)

Replying to: allen11 (Dec 31, 2005 8:35 am) WOW, I'm surprised that the GS could be obtained for almost $6k under msrp.   BTW as a multiple previous Lexus owner I agree with your assessment.   Good luck with the new ride.

Replying to: eyeguy1 (Dec 26, 2005 8:18 pm) Thanks for all talk about BUYING the M35...BUT has anyone had any real problems? Mechanical or handling or tires???   3300 miles with zero problems. Although the M is a new US model it debuted in Japan a year ago so it is not a new Nissan/Infiniti model. Replies to this message: bcorig (Jan 06, 2006 11:42 pm)
