2009 INFINITI M35 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The Infiniti M35 sedan receives a boost in power for 2009, in the form of a new V6 engine, and a new seven-speed automatic transmission. Power comes in the form of a new 3.5-liter V6, which produces 303 hp, a bump of 28 hp over the previous year's engine. However, torque drops off slightly, from 268 to 262 lb-ft, although few drivers will notice the difference. On the positive side, fuel economy improves slightly from 16/22 city/highway mph to 17/25 (for the Base trim only).
In the Base M35 trim, the V6 engine links to a new seven-speed automatic transmission with a Drive Sport (DS) mode and a driver-adaptive algorithm, which senses the driver's style and makes adjustments to shifting patterns accordingly. The M35x trim with all-wheel drive, however, retains its electronically controlled five-speed automatic, which also features a Drive Sport mode and driver-adaptive algorithm.
In an effort to keep pace with competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5-Series, the luxury-oriented, rear-wheel-drive M35 sedan comes equipped with such key features as leather seats, 10-way power-adjustable and climate-controlled front seats, a power moonroof, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, African rosewood interior trim, and a six-speaker audio system with a 6-CD changer.
Owners can also opt for a Sport Package on the Base M35 sedan, which adds a sport-tuned suspension, rear active steering, and 19-inch alloy wheels, among other features. Other options include a Lane Departure Prevention System, which warns drivers when they start to drift out of their lane, and an optional rear-view monitor, which helps ensure safety when backing up.
The M35's combination of luxury and performance seems to be doing something right, as owners have very few negative comments about the sedan. Handling and acceleration get high marks, as does the roomy interior and spacious 15-cubic-foot trunk. The highest compliments go to the optional navigation system, but the M35 receives low marks for its rough ride with the Sport suspension and small trunk opening.

I got this a few months ago based on my test drive and outstanding report from Consumers Report. I can't say enough about this car that I haven't already said. It is as close to perfect as any car I have ever owned. It is a true family sedan / sports car. I raced open wheel back in the 50's and 60's and I am blessed to still have my reflexes and able to enjoy putting a car through its paces. The Infinity takes everything I throw at it and asks for more!
Handling is positive... turn the wheel where you want to go and it just goes there. I am using premium gas (with Ethanol) and get about 22-23 on the Interstate at 70-75mph. I hate Ethanol... biggest farce put on the American public. It has caused lower gas mileage and raised the price of everything that uses corn in any form. With real premium gas I was able to get on one trip, I actually got 27mpg! Now that is the way it should be. I could go on and on about the M35S but I will stop now. My biggest problem; what will I replace it with?Aug 09, 2011

Can you replace the tires with different sizes and if you do does that create any issues?

Cracked radiator
I have a 2009 m35 that has been overheating. Needle goes from middle and quickly rises to the top. There is a small crack at the to of the radiator. I'm going to purchase a new radiator but would like to know what may have caused it so I can fix that too. Has anyone else experienced this?

2009 M35x - If the ball joint at the end of the lower control arm starts to experience a little up/down play does the entire control arm need to be replaced?
I was recently at a garage and they said that since there is wiggle in the knuckle of the ball joint just inside the front tires of the lower control arm, they both need to be replaced. Immediately. I'm trying to get more opinions on this before I invest another $1300-$1500 in my car. Thanks to anyone who can help!
