Review and specifications
2010 Infiniti M
The 2006 redesign of Infiniti's largest four-door car transformed it into a capable luxury/sports sedan with a comfortable interior, a choice of V6 or V8 power, and optional all-wheel drive. Ride and handling are good. The M series Infinitis are exceptionally capable, whether cruising on the highway, or hustling along twisty country roads. Further, their interiors are plush and well constructed. This version of the Infiniti was also one of the first cars to offer a lane-departure warning system.

Brand context
About Infiniti
Nissan’s luxury sub-brand sells stylish vehicles that deliver mixed results. Fit and finish is usually good, especially in the quiet, luxurious interiors. But Infiniti often falls short of competitors in fuel economy and handling. Some of its vehicles also score low in our owner satisfaction surveys, and most new models scored average for predicted reliability. New vehicles come standard with a full suite of active safety and driver assist systems. The brand’s lowest-priced option is a two-row compact SUV with a variable compression engine that attempts to deliver both fuel economy and sporty performance. The brand’s larger midsized, three-row SUV is roomy and quiet, with competitive fuel economy and quick acceleration. The largest Infiniti is a large three-row, high-end SUV that competes against Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz. With options, its price can cross $100,000. Among Infiniti’s discontinued vehicles, some sedans and coupes can be recommended among used luxury cars.
