Infiniti has always been a reliable car with quality workmanship see full Infiniti M review

Good, although local dealer has a monopoly, and thus overpriced locally. works against me when I want to buy. The Grand prix, is very good value for the money, and my wife still prefers the Grand Prix. The M is big and heavy, G is quicker, but more common see full Infiniti M review

People driving other luxury cars that it competes with know not to screw with an M45. Drivers of cars it does not directly compete with (who are car people) know what it is capable of & unless they purposely bought a rocket, will leave the M alone. see full Infiniti M review

I am very unhappy that Infiniti is rebadging its entire product line. The car will go the way of the Dodo after only three model years. Not good for resale value. see full Infiniti M review

Still need to improve the reliability see full Infiniti M review

I've always liked Fords better than most other brands, and this was actually the first Ford I've owned. see full Ford Focus review

At first, there was nothing desirable about the Focus. I had to search and search for its potential and finally started liking it. Then it broke down... twice. see full Ford Focus review

Early Focus models has some problems. The Focus seems to be marketed almost exclusily towards the younger crowd. see full Ford Focus review

Ford is not exactly thought of as a premium brand. see full Ford Focus review

This is a very good car. However, people look down on Ford. It will take Ford years to regain the image of decent, reliable transport - which is what the Focus excels at. see full Ford Focus review

If you are going to buy a ford sports car why would you buy a focus when you can have a mustang. see full Ford Focus review
