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

My wife bought this car in May. She drove a Cadillac SRX prior to this purchase. We have both been impressed with the quietness, ride, and handling of the QX30. To soon to tell about reliability but we have no buyers remorse.

Nice interior but drives like a Go Kart

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.

A very nice "personal" utility vehicle

I like this car very much. When I first got this it, I thought the economy setting on the transmission mode was too slow, but now I always use it and just jump on the paddle shifters if i want truly sporty driving. I do like the front seats - a lot - but this is NOT a big car. I am 5' 10" 180 pounds, and it fits me perfectly. I knew I fit before I purchased it, so I am perplexed by people who have purchased it, but then say it's too small. The back seat is only good for short trips, unless your passengers are average size or less - but, again - I knew this when I bought it. Cargo room is fine, the glass roof has a nice retractable screen (yes, I wish it opened), and the roof rails allows for real, sturdy roof racks - which I use. After years of my wife having to drive large SUVs for the kids, she is now thrilled to have a sporty, AWD vehicle with just enough utility, and a lot more fun.

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.
