Ride is VERY stiff. You feel everything under the tires. Riad noise is very loud. GPS requires voice control but doesn’t understand what you say. The passenger cannot utilize nav if car is moving. Small gas tank. Need to refuel often. No leg room in back seat. Which I don’t really care. We don’t put people back there

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.

Sweet driver in town; just don’t have an accident!

Love the steering feel and overall handling. I have the top interior with white leather and red stitching and all the safety items which are overrated. Especially emergency braking. At some speed envelopes it doesn’t work at all. I rear ended an older Lexus suv at about 30 mph. Only a little damage to the Lexus bumper. My front bumper was destroyed, radiator and fenders damaged along with lights. Repairs cost $24,000, largely due to MB parts which were hard to get and took over 2 months!

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.
