    Infiniti M37's is one of my favorite Infiniti cars in the Infiniti lineup too.

    In 2015 I bought a 2012 Infiniti M 37 with about 78,000 miles. I’ve been driving it every day for the last 12 years with about 170 thousand miles now of hard driving. Other than oil change and tire rotations I have never had any work done thank God. Every time I wash it it looks brand new and even after 170 thousand miles it runs like the day I bought it. Not sure how long would this party go on but I intend to keep driving it as long as possible. couldn’t be happier with my car. The only other car I loved as much was my 1999 Lexus GS 400. I had 265 miles on it and it was still running like a champ till I sold it since I rarely drove it and the battery kept dying. I had a GS350 2009 model but I was not happy with its interior fit and finish and I had traded that in for my 2012 M37 and I think that was a great trade. i’m thinking of buying a 2018 Tesla model S 75D as my second car and hoping I’ll have as good luck with it as I did with my Infiniti.

    I have had my M37 for a while. It is approaching 195k. Maintenance wise, I just replaced the starter and had to replace the radiator 6 months ago. I recommend replacing that plastic hose junction that goes into the heater core. Mine broke but I was able to fix it pretty quickly. Great car. I'm looking into getting a Q70L. Love my car.

    Good review. The car actually has 330 hp. Why I agree with a lot of what you said.. I got the 3
    7 myself and I would have loved to I have the 5.6 bud the 3.7 is more reliable overall. While it’s not the fastest car like you stated, it beats a lot of cars on the road even to this day. Not bad for a 4000 pound luxury sedan.

    I have the same car sport model. Absolutely love the car. I wish they would’ve spent the few extra dollars to put 6000k LED bulbs into the fog lights, day time running lights and rear license plate which I did. Really changes the look. Literally the only thing I don’t like is the BT tends do disconnect or skip while playing music.

    Fabulous cars, love them..... but I say this to all m37, q70 and Nissan Y51 owners...... get the transmission fluid changed as soon as you buy the car. I learned the hard way. Had to have my entire tranny unit changed at 120k miles, 2011 m37, complete ball ache, nightmare.......car had full service history on service book 😄(complete BS) .....main dealer stamp on service book for tranny fluid change at 60k miles......my indy car mechanic confirmed tranny fluid had not/never been changed, stating the fluid looked over ten years old when he was replacing my entire gearbox unit. Lesson learned, main dealers are crooks.

      @@phantomse24 i had a catastrophic failure with my 7 speed Infiniti/Jatco automatic gearbox last year........1 month before my wedding! Bad timing eh? The tranny guy that changed my gearbox and torque converter told me the fluid in the gearbox that failed, was so dark and sludgey, he said it looked 10 years old and was probably the original fluid put in the car from factory. Symptoms, loud whining noise when changing gears, then car would stall after a few hundred yards, basically the tranny was being starved of fluid. It was a broken torque converter, tranny fluid pump or gears broken in bits, or maybe all 3 of those things. This was the 1st car I've ever owned that had an automatic gearbox. If I ever buy another car with an auto box, 1st port of call........full tranny fluid flush and change out.
