Explore the 2012 INFINITI M56

Don’t hesitate they are rare now

Traded in a q50 redsport because it was rattling. Door seals going bad and overall not holding up. The m is a 2012 which is considerably older. But the quality is in matched by any new car I looked at. All it needed was an upgrade for the brakes and it feels better to drive than anything I was looking at. Ct4v. New redsport. S3 or bmw. Still staying loyal to Infiniti

Best car I've ever owned

This is by far the best car I've ever owned. I'm glad I've had the experience of owning not one but two great cars by Infiniti!

Better alternative to BMW 550 and MB E550

This car is a reasonable reliable and more affordable alternative to a BMW 550 and similar sedans. The power is adequate at 420, I was able to up to about 475hp and 525 torque with a few minor updates which is pretty amazing for a NA 5.6 engine. Get the aero kit if you are buying the car, makes the front and the sides look much, much better. It's as reliable as anything I've owned, total opposite experience when comparing to owning a BMW. There are two different interior panels choices, most come with ugly brown but there's an optional gorgeous looking Japanese ash with crushed silver, I just bought the nicer interior panels and installed them after purchasing the car. Overall this thing is amazing.

An elegant luxury car feel in a sports car

Great leg room.. very appealing cockpit.. powerful engine with decent gas mileage for a v8. Beautiful and bold vehicle.

Awesome

Wow, that sums it up pretty well. I've owned this car for only 3 days now and OMG the performance is mind boggling. It could do a little better with the comfort department but its still good enough to take on a long trip. I have a sport model which I'm not looking forward too when we get snow even though it has a snow mode I don't think the RWD will do any good in the snow/ice/sleet. But I can drive my other car. Performance is amazing. I bought this car to replace my totaled 09 FX50s and the performance is similar but the car will take over in the top end. The M56 has so much more gadgets that make you just LOVE it. I have all the packages on my vehicle including the Aero kit that makes it look awesome. But to sums stuff up the car is AAWESOME in every category, Stop reading these reviews and go get one asap....

Good choice

Good power, good looks, good handling, the back of the seat is not comfort. Road noise isolation is average.

Infiniti M56S

I've put 2000 miles on my new M56S, and I love it! The power of this car is amazing. The styling and interior refinement are excellent. I believe the BMW 550 and Mercedes E550 have met their match!

MMMMM Good.

I have owned my car for just over a month now and put almost 1800 miles on it. First off this is the Sport model not the AWD model. I am not looking forward to the snow. The car itself is much more advanced than the last 2 M45's that i have owned. The power of this car is unbelievable. I was sort of testing the high end ( don't try this at home) on a empty stretch of road and passed 135mph and it was still pulling like a freight train and there was NO DRAMA at all. Cruising at 85 feels like 55. The transmission can hunt for a gear sometimes but being a 7 speed I expected that. The bonus is I am getting slightly better gas milage and 100 more bhp than my old car. I never expected to buy this car but I'm sure glad i did.
