Purchased my QX30 due to a job change and needing a different vehicle. I needed a good road car with a hatch for occasional supplies. It'll be just me 90% of the time and will seldom use the backseat, as we are empty nesters and my wife has a larger SUV. After a lot of research I found the QX30. Previously I owned a G37 and liked the car, but had a terrible dealer experience (in another state). I found the model I wanted, Premium black/black and test drove it. After getting multiple quotes I was able to reach a deal. The car is great. It's based on the Mercedes GLA 250, but I think the Infiniti looks much better. It handles extremely well and the twin turbo is plenty powerful with loads of torque at the low end. There are three drive modes, economy, sport and manual, which allows you to use the paddle shifters. It's quick and agile. The Bose Surround Sound is outstanding, the best sound system I've ever heard in a car. I love being able to see text messages on the screen (they are read to you while driving) and the touch screen is excellent but I prefer to use the turn knob. The interior materials are very upscale and the seats are amazingly comfortable. I feel it's a great SUV for any one who wants a great looking, sporty, excellent handling small SUV. It's ideal for empty nesters who don't need to haul a bunch of people.

The Infiniti QX30 is very sleek and stylish, however much is lacking compared to the other luxury compact SUVs (BMW X1, Audi Q3, Lexus N200t): The suspension is stiff, which I prefer for handling, but it rides like a truck (forget about drinking out of a cup, because you'll wear it.) There's a panoramic moonroof, but it doesn't open. Pickup is sluggish and electronic controls on the dashboard are difficult to reach and adjust, and there are several blindspots. On the positive side, the seats are very comfortable, gas mileage has been good, and the car is very sporty and stylish looking from the exterior. I got a great price and am glad I leased it and did not purchase it.

When a true sports sedan meets an SUV...

...you get the QX 30. The perfect combination of all-wheel drive SUV performance and a nimble luxury sports car. This is no "me too" crossover. Once you slip in the cockpit and fire up the engine you'll know this technologically advanced alchemy of sure-footed-ski-trip sled and luxurious-razor-sharp-dressed-dart was not designed for wimps. It's sexy, smooth, powerful and poised in any driving situation - be it around the city or heading up to Tahoe. Add to that the fact you get incredible value and gas mileage even with the most loaded QX 30 trim package: you'll be glad you didn't overpay for a BMW or Mercedes.

My God, it's awful

I leased this car for 39 months--thankfully. It's awful. It lurches on acceleration. Gas guzzler with premium gas. It has too many gadgets, most of which have sporadic issues, work sometimes and not others. Even the rear camera doesn't work at times--it jams in back-up mode and I have to watch it as I go forward. The motor in the passenger seat went at 3000 miles--killing the entire car. It took the dealer 6 days to get the car back to me. The dealer gave me a GX50--which made me wish for my piece of garbage (it was worse). My car is noisy. It works best in sport mode, but then the gas guzzling is at it's worst. I can't wait to give it back to the dealer.
