The car has performed above and beyond my expectations thus far. Super smooth ride with the premium version AWD SUV. When car is in standard mode it really accelerates. It's a weird feeling walking up to this car because of it's low profile however, when you are driving it you still feel like you are driving an SUV. At first I wanted the dark grey car but saw the majestic white with beige and black leather interior and fell in love. The only things that still bother me are the button puss park. It still freaks me out. Also the back up camera sometimes turns black when your backing up. (it happened to me only about 5 or 6 times since I owned the car). I spoke with the Infinity Dealer about problem and they said it is a known issue with this car and are in the process of resolving it. Love the large premium tires too with beautiful dirt free trim. What else can I say about the Bose stereo and Speakers. Phenomenal! Bluetooth works great too. Dimming mirrors at night to take away that annoying one car who always seem to have his or her bights on. Adjustable seats a re wonderful and cater to small people as well as large. Great lumbar support! Nice beautiful cockpit with everything under the sun . Too much to even name.One thing is missing though. Where is the sunglass storage? I feel great when I'm in this beautiful looking car. And when you feel great you look great! We have 2 cars at home and I always tell my wife not to dive this one because driving is fun when you are driving in a QX-30!

Thought it was a 6 cly

So I purchased slightly used. Drove a QX30 rental on a trip up north..great ride and fell in love with it. My wife thought it was a 6 cyl because the 4 cly with turbo had so much kick to it. It goes! Just got back from a 1,700 mile trip to DC and it caused me no fatigue at all. My QX30 is fully loaded except 4 wheel drive. I get about 25-27 in town and mid 30s on the highway. Wish the gas tank was a little bigger but filling up for under $25 works for me. My only complaints are: 1) Clanky start noise that I hate, 2) Lack of surface space to place a mount for my cellphone, 3) Limited storage for coins, glasses, etc. , 4) Navigation needs more refinement, 5) I'm putting too many miles on it because I enjoy driving it. My Loves: 1) I love all the options, Bose sound, self parking, adaptive cruse, BT, lane warning, radar and 360 cameras. I just wish the auto stop/start was not there and that it would not clank when restarting. That is my biggest complaint.

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.

I work in a Bank in Brickell, Florida and also process consumer cars for the bank and have always had Nissan cars until I saw the QX30. Its just right for me. I do a lot of driving and highly recommend it since I am a single mom with an 11 year old. It drives amazing and Infiniti lease options are very affordable compared to Mercedes and BMW. This vehicle is great on gas, easy to maneuver , and everything Is at your finger prints.

First, I realize that this car (not SUV) is not for everyone. I was seeking to get out of my Mazda CX-9 because the fuel economy was not very good and it was just more vehicle then I needed. The two big dogs were gone and the kids were older so I decided it was time to simplify my life and do something for me. I searched high and low for my next ride and was not interested in driving what everyone else was. The QX30 is different. It's compact and loaded with style. The turbo charged 4 cyl has given me a new super powers...passing speed and the ability merge into traffic with zero effort. The drivers seat is exceptionally comfortable and it is fun to drive. Here are the CONs... there is no cargo space. I can get one carry-on suitcase and a couple of grocery bags in there. If you are taller than 5'9 and weigh more than you should :( this car will not be comfortable. It really is a two seater and not suitable for a family. My five year old and his car seat fit comfortably in the back but it won't work for him in a couple years. The owner's manual has a hard time fitting into the glove box, my iPhone Plus does not fit anywhere including in the center console. The infotainment system blows! It's complicated and is confused when you plug in your phone or more than one person has Bluetooth on in the car. The upside is that I am glad I took the plunge and I don't miss the extra cargo or seating. I wish the infotainment system was better but it's not that big of a deal to me. I like the compact styling because it is more effiecent and prevents me from buying anything that I cannot fit in the cargo space. The lack of seating keeps people that I don't like out of my car. Some people complain about the visabilty but if you have driven an SUV you are accustomed to poor visabilty. I actually find it easier to see what's around me than in my old SUV. Lastly, taking the plunge to a much smaller vehicle was made easier by the fact that it is leased. It's fun for now but in a couple years I can try something else. It's not a keeper by any stretch and reminds me of a modernized version of my 1969 Karmann Ghia which like the QX30 was fun only for a little while.

I had my choice for a new car/suv, but this one kept drawing me back. What exactly is it?? Its an enigma. But I very much like it. I came out of a 370z, so the engine is bit soft compared to its cousin. But a lot of cars are. It will get you where you are going in a hurry. I ran it the other day over 100mph down a tollway just to open it up bit. What a pleasure. I have the sport, black, grey wheels, black and white leather interior with suede. A great looking combination inside and out. As compared to the Z, it is a pleasure to drive. The road noise could be a bit better, but again, I came out of a Z, thus this is a significant upgrade in noise levels. Plus if all else fails, crank up the Bose, its awesome. All-in-all, this is a funky-cool little monster, sans The Goblin!!!

I bought the 2017 QX30 this July with only 10,800 miles. It did take some getting use to, and at first I wondered if I had made a mistake. The transmission felt finicky, and the run-flat tires were awful--hard as a rock and loud. Did not like the ride at all. So after about 3 weeks, off came the run-flat Continentals and on went a set of traditional Generals (Altimax RT43), and I completely fell in love with the vehicle. Totally different riding experience! I also got used to the quirks of the transmission, so that's no longer an issue: I just use the default mode and don't mess with Sport or Manual. It has lots of power and gives excellent gas mileage: 31.5 highway and 26-27 combined. It's definitely small, but a small crossover is what I wanted. The driver and front passenger areas have ample room, just the back storage area that could be a little deeper. I've logged about 3,000 miles and couldn't be happier. This is a lot of car for the money.

Nice small SUV definitely could use a little more space inthe back seat. Push to start and a moonroof that actually opens would be great. The noisiest car I ever owned it drives me crazy

Overall just a poorly conceived and designed vehicle. The interior compartment is very nice and it actually got me to buy the car. While it is beautiful, after a few days it seemed like one of the most impractical cars I ever owned. Storage is awful, there is no place to store even sunglasses and the owners manual is too big to fit in the glove box (really?). Also hard to believe that there is no power hatch, only a manual option in a "luxury" car. Another problem, there is no way to have the doors unlock when you put the car in park. My 2008 Camry had this feature. Also, the sight lines are awful as there is very low visibility out the rear and sides of this car. The glass panoramic roof is a must as it makes it feel less cramped but no where near as nice as a moonroof that actually opens. There is very little leg and headroom in the back for an average size adult. As far as the drive, it is very simply underpowered, and whines through the lower gears. This is not how I would expect a "luxury" car to drive. While sport mode does offer some nice performance, it really whines even more. Lastly, the road noise is horrendous, it sounds like something is open, the only relief is keeping the radio turned up. Handling was one of the few positives as long as you are on very smooth pavement as the ride is very stiff and you feel EVERY bump and expansion joint, even on the highway. In closing, I disliked this vehicle so much that I returned it after 3 weeks and took the financial hit. Very disappointed.

...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.

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.

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.

Through and through, you feel the functionality and precision which the Germans (Mercedes Benz) is known for. It’s the GLA’s sexier and way hotter sibling. Infiniti’s own tweaks to the suspension and tuning of the engine makes a helluva lot of difference from its Teutonic sibling. This is a car to buy and keep for years to come.

It’s nice to look at I’ll give it that, however, I’m glad I leased it with the amount of problems that have accumulated over the past 2 1/2 years. The coolant sensor is ALWAYS on (they don’t know why), it goes through tires like nobody’s business (about to need new tires for the second time, they blame it on the fact it’s front wheel drive and the tires come with 60% less tread than a normal tire Due to its thin wall nature), the central $10,000 CPU system went bad after 2 years thankfully the warranty covered it, the gas tank access cover is automated And the switch went bad so I couldn’t close my gas tank.... etc. I love my car, but I’m definitely not buying it and would not suggest purchasing it.

I bought this car because I wanted a small, sporty car and I loved the rose gold color. The car is very stylish and the sport interior trim is nice. However the car is very small, and has had several problems since I purchased it 2 years ago. Repetitive problems with the coolant sensor and reservoir, brakes were jerking and needed repair, have already replaced the tires once and about to have to replace them again. The air conditioning also doesn’t work reliably. I’m so glad I have an extended warranty, otherwise would have already spent thousands of dollars and have only had a car for 3 years. I plan on trading it in the next year for an SUV.

I've owned my QX30 over 4 years now, and have enjoyed every moment of driving it. Infiniti has always been ahead of their time on style and options. It's sleek, fast, good on gas mileage, and has just enough room inside...it wraps around me like a comfy sweater. All wheel drive handles great in any weather. Perfect height for getting in and out. You don't sit too low or too high. Everything is within reach, even the hidden compartment below the passenger seat where I keep my sunglasses. 4 cupholders in front, and 4 in back. large screen on dash to control every thing, but it still has an actual knob for volume control, which I greatly appreciate (also has controls on steering wheel). My passengers gawks at the gorgeous tan leather interior, so stunning. Completely customizable seats, for me (5'2"), and my husband (6'1"). It has programable seat settings, automatic folding mirrors for the drive-through coffee run, and I especially love the stereo system!! Our teenage boys dig that, and the cars quick pick-up. Back seats are comfortable with fold down arm rest and cupholders. I installed a button in the ignition to make it a push-start. Back seats easily drop down for maximum room in the "trunk". I've hauled more furniture in the back than I thought possible. This car surprises me constantly. I think the only negative would be the trunk door is heavy (for me, not my husband). Otherwise, there are just too many plus's and options to list!

I bought this hatchback when my Lexus sc430 coupe stopped working. 2days after purchasing I was mad as hell because I felt as if I was driving a smart car. I hear ever wind sound as if the window is open. There is little hatchback space. The arm rest is tiny. The glovebox only fits the manual. The car auto locks and must be manually unlocked. It does do well on gas. I hate the sun view that doesn't open. I plan to take a financial loss after only 6 months to upgrade to a real luxury SUV.
