Most Satisfying Car I've Owned

I went to obtain a QX 70 because I was driving a QX 50 but liked the exterior style of the QX 70 better. On a lark, I test drove the crossover QX 30. I had not thought I'd want it cause I was used to a larger, faster SUV. Boy, was I wrong! The sport version I tested has power and zip and style. It looks fantastic and futuristic on the outside and feels luxurious and elegant inside. It took no time to become used to sitting lower, and there is no real problem with the amount of cargo space cause the back seats fold down. Gas mileage is excellent, and I have had strangers at stations come up to me to marvel at the way the vehicle looks. And might I add that I regularly leave others eating my dust on the highway. :)

Good performance but more like a sedan

Meets are needs; small, great performance and easy to drive in. It is more of a sedan than a SUV. It's tech features are good but take some time to learn.

Excellent car for commuting

This car meets what I need for commuting. It has strong engine, comfortable interior and nice exterior look. Smaller then my prior QX60 but having Nissan Armada in the household, we do not need second big car.

Nice Collaboration!!

This collaboration was a great idea!! The car is stylish and sensible! I enjoy the panoramic view on the back up camera the most out of all of the features.

Nice crossover

If you are purchasing definitely go for the top of the line, not a splurge. The car is small and compact and you woll need the extras to justify the cost.

Unsafe at Any Speed. Avoid This Vehicle.

This cars sonars and back up camera malfunction on a routine basis and neither the dealer or Infiniti knows how to fix it. They are aware the issue have been reported by multiple owners, but will not warranty the purchase. We followed their protocols and they refuse to classify our vehicle as a lemon, so we're stuck with it. The sonars are intended as a safety feature, but they go off at highway speeds for no reason alerting you of a ghost vehicle that's too close, but not even there!. The back up camera will show when driving in forward too. I don't feel confident putting my family in this vehicle. Also, the buffeting noise at highway speeds will break your eardrums if you can tolerate it long enough. The cabin looks nice, but is cluttered and tight. STAY AWAY FROM THIS VEHICLE. We're stuck, but you don't have to be.

Great Ride

We downsized from the Q 50 to the XQ 30, My wife is the primary driver. She is very happy with it, needs the extra space for cargo.

The car looks great

My first impression it looks great control nicely but I wasn't expecting such a big gas bill I ended up buying a 228i BMW which has everything that the x30 has only gives you the option of spending your gas bill less I think Infinity with a Mercedes backing needs to start thinking about the economics of fuel prices

Downsized Luxury and All-Wheel Drive Handling

Finally got tired of driving huge vehicles (QX60 latest), but really like the Infiniti look. The QX30 is much smaller, and has a very smart look - clearly the same bloodline as the QX60. Built on Mercedes platform, Infiniti did a great job upgrading the exterior look and interior creature comforts. Not the quietest or smoothest rides ever, but fun to drive!
