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.

I bought the 2018 Infiniti QX30 on a whim because I thought it was fun, fast and sporty looking, and the ink blue looked pretty sweet. None of those were good reasons to buy a brand new $34K car when I was going to be putting 80 miles / day on it as a daily driver. Fast forward 2 years and 43K miles: We try to put a baby carseat in the back - it fit, but only if the front passenger has their knees jammed (literally) into the dashboard. The stroller fit in the trunk, but took up ALL of the cargo space, so good luck if you need to get groceries. The paint scratches if you look at it funny (I got suckered into an extended warranty that, surprisingly, didn't cover it when the technician who applied the "protective coating" must have done so with a rough cloth because I had many spiderweb scratches from there on out). The transmission is clunky/jerky, not very good at low speeds or stop and go traffic. Gas mileage is decent at 23 mpg, but requires 93 premium gasoline, which even in this economy is always well over $3 a gallon. The cabin space itself feels cramped, and there is no place to put anything unless it is a standard issue bottle of water. There is a change compartment where the USB and power outlets are, 2 small cupholders, and a teeny console, also a very small glove box. The worst is that there is no place to put your sunglasses up by the rearview mirror! Finally, the "sporty suspension" creates a bumpy ride and super loud road noise. It comes as no surprise that Infiniti dropped production of the QX30 in mid-2019. They should really just issue a refund to those who purchased. I just traded mine in to go back to a CR-V and it is the BEST.

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.

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.
