If you are looking for a 'family car' not so much. If you are looking for a versatile vehicle with great acceleration, MPG and moderate off-road capability; this is it!

A 240SX heart with modern luxury

I haven't driven a car this much fun to drive in a long time. The AWD QX30 handles on rails and reminds me of the SR20DET engine teens drueled over. Turbo kicks in hard when you want it. The handling is like a Porsche. Lots of asymmetrical design and alcanterra to enjoy. It's a hot hatch with a great torquey turbo. Beautiful looks and goldilocks sizing. I truly am happy with everything, just wish it was mine instead of my wife's.

Not for everyone & it's not an SUV

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.

The Goblin Lives!

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 have to say I LOVE my QX30. I’m a woman, and this car feels like it was built for me. Don’t have to over reach for controls, and I feel like I’m in a cockpit. I have the Sport model, so it’s loaded - Nav, Handsfree, Awesome detailing in the interior. I had driven a Nissan Rogue for years which handled my Mom Duties like a pro, but I was ready for something a bit more fun and this car delivers! It’s zippy, tight handling, but I find the seats very comfortable especially with the adjustable lumbar support. I love my panoramic roof (this doesn’t open - just a giant glass ceiling), this makes the car feel roomier. I can see out of this car better than the Rogue so I don’t feel like my view is impeded...and the blind spot monitor is very sensitive. The gas mileage is the same as my Rogue. I live in an area that I drive 50 mph on average, so this car loves to gets up and go! With the back seats down, I can get a small coffee table and end table in. (Tried it, so I know!). My golf clubs fit snugly in the trunk with the seats up. If you’re looking for something fun, looks incredibly sharp (even the car wash attendant told me “Nice Wheels!” today), great sound system, and well made then this car is for you!
