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 |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
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 GLK
| Mercedes-Benz GLK Brand Reputation: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | The smaller the Mercedes, the more heavily it tends to trade on the three-pointed star. So the #1 reason to consider a GLK250 carries over from the GLK350 review (text from the previous review in italics): I don't personally put much stock in brands, with cars or anything else. But each time I have a Mercedes-Benz for a week the continuing power of the marque has been unavoidable. Audi and BMW now command similar prices, but haven't yet acquired the same mystique. They probably never will for people born before 1980. Until the final years of the twentieth century, Audis were largely ignored as troublesome, modestly upgraded VWs and BMW was mostly known for the compact, still semi-affordable 3-Series. Neither could hold a candle to the company that invented the mass-produced automobile and that has been strongly associated with large, top-shelf automobiles ever since. Gayla (the site's programmer, my wife) is not a car person. Her take on the GLK: "Of course it's a good car, it's a Mercedes." Some of my friends who are more into cars--and who own competing makes--similarly employ a different tone when asking about "the Mercedes." They could afford one, so why don't they own one? Partly because the brand's mystique cuts both ways. They're not interested in making such a strong status statement. Can even a compact crossover make a strong status statement? Mercedes-Benz has done its best to make this so--check out the size of the three-pointed star on the GLK's grille. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review | |
