Anyone got one?

Interiors even on the M35 look good, but Nissans often do from.afar...

Any experience? Assume the 3.5 lump is the same in the later Q50/ 70? Thus proven and OK?

Not the hybrid, but I recently hired a Q50 V6 while on holiday and it was pretty decent. Certainly went well. Interior comfortable and roomy, but quality not quite up there with MB/Audi

Quite liked some of the 'infotainment' features, disliked some others quite a lot!!

Couldn't help but keep comparing it to my C350e though, and I think I'll stick with the Merc even though its not as powerful as the Q50 hybrid.

Croutons, I've been running Infiniti's for the last 5 years. I currently have an M35H and previous to that an FX50s.
The interior quality in both cars I would say is really very good, certainly as good as most of the competition with the bonus of a hugely higher standard specification.
If you're looking for an M35H be sure to go for the higher premium trim level and not the cheaper business spec which lacks many of the toys.
The M35H comes standard with heated and cooled seats, navigation, rear camera, front p/sensors, full leather, cornering xenon h/lights, Bose hifi with 14 speakers (including in both driver and passenger seats) music box hard drive,Bluetooth, glass sunroof, climate control with Forrest air, heated steering wheel, electric rear blind, folding mirrors etc.
I've had mine for twelve months, I had to replace the 12v battery and a body control module shortly after buying it but since then it's been totally reliable. It returns circa 32mpg, costs £140 a year to tax (iirc) and with 360hp on tap goes surprisingly well, I think it's still the fastsest accelerating hybrid saloon available.
If I can help with anything else let me know. I may be thinking of changing mine for a q50 hybrid, if you might be interested in mine drop me a message.
