Most don't have nav or ML audio. The M35 S can't be found with a DVD player, although the m35 with the premium package has DVD, just not the sport. Dealerships are maddening. Honda/Acura is the only carmaker to figure out that you make everything standard except what a dealer can add themselves. Too bad I don't like the RL. Have you guys had any luck finding these options? I am still torn between the 300 and M35.

Replying to: g8ratt (Oct 26, 2005 5:59 am) I got an M35 because I didn't like the RL either. One of the primary reasons is that Acura chose for me what I'd like or not like on the car. Unfortunately they chose wrong  You see, I did not want OnStar or NavTraffic. I did however want a RearView Camera and Birdseye View Navi. Acura found out the hard way (with very poor sales figures, at least until they started giving it away under invoice  ), that one size does not fit all

Drove both cars within a day and came to the following for "us": M35 is more fun to drive (of course, a M45 would be more fun) GS300 is very nice inside GS is a Lexus (read ego) M has better technology package or the salesman was better Near neighbor has exactly the same GS my wife wants.... Wife wants white and GS comes with that black wood stuff I think the M is winning. |

Wife went for red GS 300 and that is the deal. 'Course, all the analysis was for naught when emotion and color choice rule. Did take a DVD video/audio and listened & watched the DVD play on the navigation system. Pretty slick and the ML sounded great. |

Replying to: ktkat (Oct 25, 2005 1:16 pm) Thank you, Thank you and Thank you. After reading your review of the M35 vs. Lexus etc. you made me feel better for buying the M35 loaded w/o premium recently. I looked at the Acura TL & BMW 5 series and after I signed the contract I was bummed I didn't purchase the BMW 5 series price was about the same for a loaded BMW plus the 4 ur service but I thought the M35 had some better features then tyhe BMW. Also what Bluetooth phone are you using with your M35? I need to purchase a new phone with Bluetooth for my new car PU Thursday can not wait. andy

Replying to: acdiver (Dec 19, 2005 12:41 pm)  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!! |
