Best Bang for Buck Hybrid
I bought my M35h just about a year ago and it has been nothing but amazing so far. The ride is great, the interior is a little dated, but incredibly comfy. The safety features are great and work amazing, and above all, the performance and the mpg are amazing. 365 horsepower and an average of 27mpg in Atlanta traffic is more than I could ask for. Highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a very fun, performance, gas sipping sedan.

Powerful and comfortable : a pleasure to drive
I bought mine second hand with all the maintenance done in time. It has now 75 000 km and is a real pleasure to drive. Only thing done since new (I got all the bills) is an auxiliary cooling pump that have been replaced. The rest is regular maintenance (fluids, filters, brakes pads, tIres...). The car is comfortable and very fast, and for this price it was the best family sedan I can get by far. Reer wheel drive is fun and steering control is very sharp. Yeah, there is not much space in the trunk...

Amazing combo of performance, luxury, and value
I've owned the M35h for just over four years now and it has not disappointed. I originally was a little skeptical about the exterior styling. It's a bit bubbly and rounded in strange places. Still, when you sit in this car, you can't help but fall in love with it. The interior finish is nothing short of luxurious..High quality leather, beautiful wood trim, comfort...It's all there. What's really unexpected is the loads of tech in the car. Lane departure, adaptive headlights, and other safety features are present without overwhelming the driver with a bazillion buttons. The Bose sound system is ridiculous with 16 speakers scattered throughout the cabin. Finally, you can't beat the combination of power and fuel economy. 0-60 in less than 6 seconds while still managing to get, at worst, 24 MPG. I typically get around 27 MPG in awful VA/DC traffic. Expect no less than 32 MPG on long highway trips. This is simply the best car I've ever owned.

Fast, fun and reliable!
One of the best cars I've ever owned. Fast and luxurious with lots of space in the front and rear seating areas. Heated and ventilated seats a must.

I loved owning this car
The list of things I love about this car is a mile long, and I can only think of one "con". The car has 360 HP, and drives aggressively and confidently in Sport mode. Turn the dial to Eco, and I reliably got 29 - 31 MPG on a 10 mile commute. Navigation works, Bluetooth audio and USB input options provide multiple ways to listen to music or podcasts on your phone, or take a phone call. The phone is clear, and I never had any complaints from anyone when I was using the integrated handsfree feature for the phone. The air conditioned seats were a welcome addition to the vehicle in Florida, and the premium Bose sound system never left me wanting more. The handling was probably a bit firm for a near-luxury sedan, but still comfortable enough to make time on the road enjoyable. The car handled great in all weather conditions (except snow, which I never tried). The only major "con" is the lack of trunk space in the hybrid, which is sacrificed for the batteries and electric motor. Still more than most sports cars, and plenty for an extra-large suitcase and some other travel gear for long vacations. The car seats 4 adults very comfortably, and 5 is fine for trips of short to moderate duration. The car is very roomy inside, and the sunroof just added to the natural light when desired.

Powerful & Quiet!
One of the best values for a luxury vehicle that provides 370hp & 30 mpg! I bought the Premium package and wished I would have bought the Deluxe Touring Package which has a better sound system. If you have DVD-Audio discs this incorporates speakers in the shoulder of the front seats that provide more depth to the music!

Lots of oomph with hybrid mileage
A comfortable and attractive luxury sedan that gets almost 30 MPG overall, while still going from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. What's not to like? But as much as I like this car after a month, there are a couple things to note. Sometimes the launch is a little hesitant before really kicking in. I think this is an artifact of the sophisticated gasoline/electric drive-train, and not too irritating. Also, when doing a bit more spirited driving, when cornering hard, the accelerator can be significantly held back until the car straightens out again. Other than that, this car has it all. It will blow the doors off of many sportier cars, while still keeping front and rear seat passengers comfy and cosseted.

So far, so great
Love this car so far. Great combination of speed and fuel economy. Acceleration is great and comfort is remarkable. Not as quiet as I imagined, given the noise cancelling features from Bose but def better than most. Features are endless --- rear-view mirror, heated/cooled seats, keyless ignition, etc, etc, etc... very nice ride.
