Infiniti M35 / M45 Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Infiniti M35 / M45 rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Infiniti M35 / M45 reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
