This is my 3rd Infiniti. I always buy low mileage used cars that still have some warranty on them. This is the most trouble i have had with an Infiniti. ALso had a Maxima too - which is very similar. Love the Infiniti's handling, performance, looks, reliability (usually) and features. Good mix of luxury and sport - more on the side of sport. see full Infiniti G review

I live in the sticks of northern NY (firmly in Mustang/Monte Carlo country) and I get complimented at least weekly on the car's classy appearance, the exhaust note, or the prestigious brand. It stands out like a sore thumb among all the domestic coupes up here, and I wouldn't have it any other way. see full Infiniti G review

Infiniti is right up there with Lexus and Acura for reputation, but neither of them can match the performance you get with an Infiniti. As good as a BMW for a lot less money, and a lot more reliable. see full Infiniti G review

While the Infiniti brand itself features high-end luxury cars for around 40k plus. They are owned by Nissan, monthly check gets paid to nissan, and in Japan, the Infiniti line is branded Nissan. All smoke and mirrors. Good reputation among young crowd... see full Infiniti G review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Brand Reputation: Pros
YearComment
2015 Mercedes-Benz has been walking a tightrope. On the one hand, many people who thought nothing of buying an Audi or BMW couldn't quite see themselves in something so lofty as a Mercedes. On the other, attempts to counter such perceptions risked damaging the brand's equity. Despite some missteps over the past two decades, Mercedes-Benz has managed to avoid both Scylla and Carybdis. More people than ever perceive a Mercedes as a car they could own. Yet it retains more prestige among the general population than Audi and BMW. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
