The trunk, at 380 L (13.4 cu ft), is relatively small for this class. Still I had no problems fitting in what I needed to carry around throughout my test week. The rear bench doesn't fold down either, so if carrying longer, bulky items is part of your regular routine you might want to try out something with more cargo capacity, like the brand's FX45 SUV.
Part of the either model's ownership experience is unparalleled customer service. Infiniti ranked second in J.D. Powers and Associates' 2002 Customer Service Index (CSI) study, just missing Saturn but beating out Lexus, while it regularly scores high marks in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction studies.
In conclusion the Infiniti M45 might just be the best kept secret in the luxury sedan market. Despite being priced thousands less than competitive products, the exclusive sedan is packed with more power than any of those vying for the midsize luxury customer, while doling out equal luxury and respected prestige. It's a great buy that should provide years of trouble free driving, and you won't see your twin pulling into the parking spot next to you at the club.
