Infiniti Got This M Right!-7 month update

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

After driving my M37S over the last 7+ months, there are several "tweaks", in my opinion, Infiniti should make to this truly great vehicle to make it outstanding. Transmission needs a "software" update(a la BMW) I've found it more responsive in normal mode than Sport mode. Dynamics of the Sport Package are excellent,the vehicle handles beautifully, but overall ride is too "choppy" for a vehicle in this price point.... get rid of the Bridgestone tires!Dunlop would be a better choice(our 2011 G37xS has them) Vehicle should have side maker turn signals(Maxima has them!) and headlight washers Infiniti/Nissan needs to have an"emergency" response system..ie BMW Assist, OnStar

Give Me a Break

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 x 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

This car has everything! It's a technological wonder. Why then can't I control some of these amazing features? For instance, I must have the doors lock when I'm driving. No override. I can't use my telephone phonebook when I'm driving. It's much safer to pull out my phone and try to read the number than to use my large screen nav system. No override. I can't use my nav system when I'm driving. Guess I'll be stopping a lot on the freeway to phone and navigate. However all my electronic safety equipment such as blind spot warning, front end collision avoidance, etc. turns off when I stop the car and I have to remember to turn it on or it won't function. So why is that safer? There is no alarm for not wearing my seatbelt. So why is that safer? Also the music box doesn't seem to be able to read most CD information so all my CD's, artists and songs are just the date and time recorded. Not too convenient. And speaking of the nav system, I've been living in my new house for three years, but my nav maps don't even show my neighborhood. I was told I could buy an update. Mighty kind of Infiniti. Speaking of nav systems, the nav system on the Infiniti sucks. It's difficult to use and technologically out of date. My old 2004 Acura TL had far superior nav capabilities and voice activation years in advance of what Infiniti has now. Infiniti touts the voice activation for the phone and nav as safer than pushing buttons. Might be if it worked! The voice activation is practically never right. Extremely frustrating. As for performance and appearance the car is spectacular in almost every way. My only complaint is that the gas mileage is horrible (15 around town and 22-23 on the highway, even using the Econ mode). My problem is I am so frustrated by all the quirky electronic annoyances every time I try to drive that I just want to take the car back.

Bluetooth Phone is a joke

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

This great car has turned into a nightmare due to the terrible bluetooth phone. The reception people get is terrible. I tried an update and that didn't help. Of course now that I have searched online i see many people have a similar problem. One would think Infinity would do something about this. I never would have bought this car if I had known this problem.

I have had the new M37 for 3,5000 miles and have loved every minute of it. The car rides like a dream, and the interior luxury is terrific. I have not encountered any of the issues noted in the other reviews.

Fantastic

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

Upgrade from 2009 M35 to the M37S. Better suspension and steering. Better gas milage. Typical Infiniit high quality fit, finish, and material. Best looking 4dr sedan out there. Great software and GPS. Hook up to my cheapy Motorola cell was flawless. 16 speaker Bose above average , but my Mercedes HK is better.... but thats about all the Merc has over my Infiniti. 20 inch tires get noisy over 70mph, otherwise all is quiet. Hard to beat 330hp hooked up to a smooth 7 speed. Ahead of its class compared to Lexus, Mercedes and BMW.

M37 trade up

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

Traded in my 2 year old G37 for a new M37. Loved the G, but too little space. So the M should be a good compromise. Love the car! Honestly, I don't have any of the issues I've seen in other posts, like I'm driving a different car or something. IPhone 3GS synced flawlessly,no reception issues. Copied in my address book, no issues. IPod Nano works perfectly. Excellent NAV, no issues. Tested the Lexus IS, ES and GS. Boring. BMW 5 also, couldn't get excited. Love the room and comfort of the M. 6'5",I need like the space, and only Nissan built cars have the leg room. Quiet also. Not the acceleration of the G, but a good compromise of handling, size and space.People notice the car.

First Model Year Blues

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

I bought this loaded Sports Package M37 after owning an M35 for 5 years. The M35 was the best car I ever owned. The M37 feels like it was rushed out by Infiniti in an attempt to get a prettier looking car on the market quickly. Furthermore the M35 was cheaper than many of its competitors and the new model loaded comes in on the expensive side of the competition. I've had many problems with the car already some pretty major. Major flaws were apparent in the GPS after using it for 30 min. I was stupefied that Infiniti put the car on the road without these kinks worked out. Apparently I hear there's a lack of processing power needed to run the GPS properly. I expect more from Infiniti.

Disappointing performance

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 x 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

Too often when I step on the gas hard, I get a long lag before the car accelerates. When that happens, it feels like 160 hp not 330 hp. Other times it's fine but I can't rely on adequate acceleration to move quickly onto to the highway or to pass cars. When I slow down, the transmission jerks as it downshifts and sometimes unexpectedly actually upshifts jerking the car forward. Infiniti service said that there was nothing they could do -- the car was designed this way.

2011 M37x /Premium & Technology Packages

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 x 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

Outstanding performance and handling. Clear & large gauges that are well lighted day or night.User friendly electronics with a well designed touch screen interface as well as large buttons at well placed locations.I highly recommend this vehicle to seniors like myself who have difficulty with the gauges in cars like the E350 or 535i.I drove the E350 in early sun light and could not read the speedometer. The BMW uses red and orange lighting that is difficult for older eyes.

Excellent Car

Vehicle

2011 Infiniti M37 x 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

Review

Had a Lexus and BMW before the M37.Fun to drive, excellent handling.Styling is great,ride comfort is not like a Benz but still excellent.This was the last car I test drove(Lexus GS, BMW 550, Benz 300, Saab, Volvo).Slight delay when you floor the gas, I Pod hook up does not work.arm rest is too far back.when using bluetooth you must remember to say the last name first and then the first name of the person for the voice command.M37 has made me an Infiniti believer and I will be a repeat customer.
