Roadfly.com - 2011 Infiniti M56 Road Test & Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2011
- Beautifully sleek and curvaceous, the 2011 Infiniti M56 is an exciting and luxurious ride. Infiniti has lengthened this year's models dimensions, increasing the length, height and width overall. Its new powerful engine and flowing redesign are all intact from the 2010 model as well. Roadfly TV and host Ross Rapoport took a good look at the M56 and they were very impressed.
Under the hood the Infiniti boasts some true and surprising power. The M56 has a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 420 horsepower and gets 417 pound-feet of torque. This impressive feat lets the M get to 60 mph in a time of roughly 4.9 seconds. The seven-speed automatic transmission is flawless, shifting gears with a fluid ease, making great use out of all 420 horses.
Inside, the Infiniti shines. The dash and interior materials are made from Japanese ash wood, giving a the M56 a unique and timeless aesthetic. Comfortability and luxury are not a problem here.
Altogether the Infiniti M56, sold as the Nissan Fuga in Japan, is a seductive competitor to such European hallmarks as the BMW 5-Series or the Mercedes-Benz E550 and is hot on their heels in terms of desirability and driving enthusiasm. Drivers seeking a classy and distinguished alternative to the European market would do well to take a close look at the M56.

Hard to believe this video is 12 years. This car still holds up to this day imo.
The M56 is one of my favorite cars, pound for pound
Just bought one today the Sport version, 63k on the odom and paid after taxes and fees a tad under $17k. So far Im loving it!
Bought for 17k?? Sweet deal! I have a feeling you're gonna be loving this car for many years to come.
@@yellowmalice3036 Yes it was a 2011 in pretty good shape, unfortunately I didnt check it out enough and found out the hood didnt stay open till after I bought it - so had to had pay a little to get that handled and took a long time to finally get a spare and did have to pay about $1500 (including the hood issue, the spare, some brake work, recharge the AC) to get it all mechanically updated to perfection- but yes overall still a good deal and you bet I will be loving it for many years, esp since it will be mainly a weekend car, not a daily driver (have 2 other cars for that). Ive probably not even put 100 miles on it since buying it on sat 5/16/2020. Its a keeper. I also have a 1998 lexus GS400 which is a pretty dam fast car - this M56S would blow the doors off that.
This is definitely the best car review channel on UA-cam! Great reviewers. If I had one suggestion, I would like real life MPG ratings and not EPA as they tend to be pretty inaccurate
Thanks, Ross!
You're one of my favourite reviewers.

Excellent review roadflytv always fun to watch!!
Ross is a great reviewer! Keep it up man!
Great review. I want one of these for my next Infiniti. I have a 2011 QX56 with 170K and a 2011 G37xS sedan with 298K miles on it. Both cars look and drive great. I just want the M56 for the V8 power and for more passenger space in back.
Another great job Ross.... Your my favorite reviewer on this channel. Also Roadfly, you should do some comparison videos or multi-reviewer videos :)
the wood looks amazing
These Infiniti's hold their value for the most part. People are still paying 5k for a G35 these days! That's a timeless car but outdated. I have one and love it. Will drive it until the wheels fall off. It's at 209k now and it's still perfect. Just needs some new suspension parts which is to be expected for a car with that many miles. It is fast for what it is. But I need something updated with more power. The M56 would be the perfect replacement. Im starting to save up for one. I may put in a little more in the G. I plan on keeping it atleast another yr or two. By then I can find a M56 for around 10k easy. They're already around that price today. They're just harder to find. There's none for sale in my state and I live in Tx. I see a lot on the east coast for some reason. I've always been quite fond of a luxury sedan sleeper. These come with the VK56DD engine that also come in the titans. About 420hp stock too, turn it into a FBO, get exhaust and a tune. Then it could easily get close to 500hp! There's vids of these cars gapping Charger Scat Packs and Camaro SS. It's a heavy car, but so are those cars as well. I just love looking at the face of some douche in a sports car getting gapped by a luxury sedan. It's priceless, plus this V8 has a unique note to it too. It's definitely on my list of one of the next cars I have to have. It's heavily slept on and almost no one knows about them. Maybe I'll be lucky and can find one at an auction for under 10k. Im halfway there in savings, need another yr. I don't think I'll be selling my G35X though. Have two Infiniti's fuck it. Plus ppl are hesitant buying any high mileage car. Which is understandable, especially when most domestic cars start calling apart around 150k. Just replaced the starter on my G and it was the OEM one. It has some minor leaks and I've replaced alot of things. I believe it'll last another 100k easily. Which is why I won't ever sell it. I know ppl will low ball me for one due to its mileage alone. It's just way too reliable to part with, I know I'll end up regretting it.
The M56 has great power just got one last week
Got one a month ago and everything u said about it is true. Absolute dream car.
Lol, at the end of the video he looks like a kid in that car.
xuimod
But he's wearing a big boy jacket!!
The car looks humongous, not sure relatively or it's just gigantic
Its taken from about 10-20 feet away, and the car is very big. I know, I have the exact same year make and model as what he is sitting in.
😆😂🤣
Infiniti's are wonderful cars and this car is no exception. It definitely competes with the European big names! And as always a very well done review by Roadfly
i love your video! Wishing you the best!
I like Ross reviews the best!
Just sold my 2012 m56 for a 2023 Model S. It was a fun car, but tons of weird engine issues; some that the dealer had yet to figure out. It served me well, but the S is a welcomed enhancement.
I love the NJ turnpike burn!
Thanks for another awesome review guys! This is probably the only japannese car I would consider... if i could afford it!
I love these cars I wish I could afford one. I like those German brands too but we all know they are just gonna have expensive problems sooner or later. Infiniti's are real reliable.
Great job homie... TY!
@roadflytv If you ever have trouble getting your hands on an Infiniti model, just let us know. Really enjoy your reviews!
Who is on Lead Guitar. Outstanding music! ROCK!
4.9 seconds to 60? The q50 3.7 do the same with 328 hp
will you guy text drive the new acura tl in the future?
sweet, these cars are so cool!! i want one :D
Did he say land departure warning system? Does this car fly as well?
A Japanese luxury car you can race Camaro's, and Mustang's with, is a huge plus for me. Nissan/Infiniti are the best period.
Love infiniti M.
Love it. The new lexus gs too.
Infiniti has some great nav systems
Sad its not sold in Singapore...
Excellent review. Very informative and well paced. Would have liked to see a little more of the car driving down the road from the outside though. Looks like a wonderful car.
What semi analine leather?
holy shit that guys short.. the car looks crazy big. Although when I watched the cnet review, it looked just adequate enough to fit a tall guy ( like me as i'm 6'6" ). Then again, the cnet guy probably didn't have his seat adjusted in a real comfy position like I have to do most cars.
Still nice in 2021👌
Sold!
2:47 look at this beauty.
@Niche79 Did you see the last review about the new Jetta? Emme, the reviewer for that car, was pretty good--and she even responded to some of the comments!
But yes I do agree with you for the most part, and Roadfly isn't the only one guilty of this.
@spencerattack631 what do you expect of V8?
Perfect car..by that I mean perfect shape, engine, dynamics, technology, feel, sex-appeal. Infiniti rocks!!
Perfect summary in the end, other than those so called "Ultimate driving Machine" buy the Infiniti instead for better value and more standard equippment than what B-brand could dream of.
love this car but I am a sucker for the 550i
excellent Jersey turnpike reference, i had to laugh
I love that the system detects nasty odors as this is a big plus because I fart all the time.
@koukiR32 I wasn't written by them, it was written a bit more seriously; It was about a very reasonable diesel 3,5L model, and they said it's too expensive (and it is, some 50k dollars, 535d can cost you as much as 10k less!) and that interior is a mess (and I'm afraid it is) and that it's options are specked a bit mean, just to justify it's high price (such as the safety pack option, or the metallic paint)
I'd like to see a car review where all three of you drive the same car so that maybe we could get three different opinions.
It looks huge. You can see how big the car really is by comparing it to his head poking out the window.
I love the M56 but one thing that really bothers me is that Infiniti doesn't make certian engine variants appear different from one another, on the BMW you can totally point out the 550i just by looking at the sport fascia, I think all M56 sedans should come standard with the sport front fascia, it shouldn't be an option. They should just offer an IPL sport package instead and make that an option but the sport fascia should be the one thing that identifies the M56 otherwise it looks like an M37
I currently have a ‘98 Civic (daily) and a Evo Viii (been in the shop for too long) but I’m thinking about trading the evo or selling it and getting something different. I see myself wanting a family soon so I still wanted something fun and fast but a sedan and reliable. Anyone know if this car would be a good choice? I just don’t want it to turn into a money pit like the evo.
It’s an excellent choice if you can find one they are very challenging to find
@acvwest1 The Infiniti G Series needs a complete redesign now. It was already refreshed for 2010 (sedan) and 2011 (coupe and convertible). The G should be redesigned for 2013 model year to compete with the all new 2012 BMW 3 Series.
That's where the M series came in, they are the newer Gs basically. Now the Q series replaced the M series.
@@nowimhigh The M series (Q70) is a different model completely. They just discontinued the Q70 last year. Now the G is called the Q50 and it’s still in need of an update. It’s like Infiniti doesn’t care about being competitive like they were in the late 2000s.
BTW Ross, this car doesn't have almost an entire liter of displacement... its got 1.1 extra liters lol
@tonyskillz Cost way less than a 5 series or E series once u add options. This car is also way more fun to drive than both of them and come with better reliability
how tall is he??
Just bought one for 15k clean title one owner 😅 insane
"Almost" and extra liter? 5.6-4.5 = 1.1....thats OVER an extra liter. .' )
He needs to add some Telephone Books to that seat, Then he is good :o)
I usually just up the Seat Some and that fixes the shorty Look. These cars are designed to accommodate anyone from 6 Feet Plus down to 4 feet plus :o)
Great Review, Thanks.
Ross is 5' 1". All the guys at cars.com are around 6'. What's the story?
I would like Ross to review a Mini Cooper. It would look like a huge SUV next to mini me Ross............................I miss Jess and her reviews
@jstnhnh I like Nissan period, with an exception to a few models. But I plan on getting a Pathfinder later this year.
I used to love BMW over Infiniti: 5-Series > M; 3-Series> G; X-Series > FX. Until I personally drove each car from Infiniti's current line-up....BMW is completely off my list. Plus, Infiniti seriously builds manly man's cars, drivers' cars.
wow..... is that your normal driving posture?.... I see that your that short, but wow. see how far his head is in contrast to the driver window. like he's in the .middle
wish i could afford one
@Autofanatic28, she's working on her Ph.D. Ross is fantastic at his job and he is really handsome as well.
Roadfly loves Infiniti, don't they?
@Mik5OO Wow, obviously you haven't seen German brands options list if you think this Infiniti options list is no where near those of the Deutch stuff has to offer. And there you go again with your 535d... that should have been compared with the M37 instead. should compare this M56 with the 550i would be more sensible cause you are looking for V8 power to V8 power not otherway around. Not to mention if you want to compare you'll compare the d with the M35 Hybrid?
good videos - just try different music
Ok, great car. Where's Jessy?????
@hazemvirus I guess that's right in there with the rest of the V8 pack...but it's still disappointing these cars can't eek out more mileage...in the end the fuel price is a fraction of the cost of ownership so no one will really notice
the sexiest car on earth
since this is a sedan it would have been nice to see the rear leg room and seating area as well as the trunk instead of a shot of the presenter talking for the majority of the video. - just a little constructive criticism.
the hobbit gets the big car again.... just joking ross!! you make good reviews.... very professional!!
@sleepersown if you wanna a tall persons car. you should get a american SUV
4:06 this guy looks like an ant in the car!
@hazemvirus like freddie mercury I want it ALLLLLL
let me see the back seat!
@flammnkta Same here. I will own them both no matter how old they get.
It's probably a nice car, but I'd rather have a G37S 6-speed
@LoveTheCity123 LOL I agree, For $57,000 I would be happy with a 2011 QX56!!! But yes, a BMW X6 would also be on the list although its not really my cup of tea.
I can't help but this that some day after buying this drivers luxury car, some one in a CTS-V would make me regret my purchase.
Now heres what i really need to know?
DOES IT CONSUME OIL?!
No
wish i can own one........
2:56 Dont talk about Jaysey Like that!
Great car but I belive their are some problems with the engine
@kaga1310 Lexus is Japanese. It is Toyota's Luxury car, they rebrand it to Lexus.
Years later the car is worth 11-20k
This or g
I miss my pea coat 🧥
The background music sounds like the soundtrack from a '90s porn movie.
@cooperunionstud Didn't know SUV = CAR. I don't enjoy the truck like handling of suv's hence my fondness of cars. The obvious does not elude me. If I really want a tall persons car, I should just get a Maybach right ? lol
@spencerattack631 I wish there was an Acura, Infiniti, or Lexus diesel!
@thejerk292 i got 720p
@insanelylogical He may have an advantage with cars but not with the ladies... most women prefer taller men. I'm not saying Ross can't pull any fine women, just that we all know most women like men taller than them.
That's a big car he looks like a child in the drivers seat 😂
@thejerk292 come back after 15mins
I miss our lady friend review...
dude you look really small in this haha
i love my g 35
Love my G35 too! I am going to buy one of these too!
@kaga1310 Let me guess, your a Lexus Fanatic or some how you seem to favor Lexus and by doing so you try to make a pointless comment that becomes irrelevant to the entire video. Copying Lexus, really??? Had you said Hyundai or Buick then that would understandable but Infiniti trying to portray themselves as a Lexus?? Please, Infiniti is way ahead of their game before they need to conform taking tips from Lexus.
The G needs a face lift now.
@Mik5OO Also, on the other hand I was just in my realtor's new 2011 535i.... and it's actually quite boring with lots of odd lines and useless Idrive... very hard to handle....Unlike the Lexus remote touch which is million times better. And the Touch screen on the Infiniti is quite user friendly. Not feeling what you say by how much more money this cost wise still 10K less when compared with the 550i it should be compared with... and much better fit and finishes inside and out too
