Infiniti Q30 Diesel

I purchased Q30 1.6D as brand new with love at first sight. With its design, GLA based body and handling - there was little to think about, except.... It only strike after short period of ownerships with few lists of items. First, space is definitely an issue with this car, which appears to be decent from the outside, but the inside is very cramped especially the back seat. Also it lacks compartments and storage to keep items in the car. Visibility is also poor - had to adjust to check blind spots. Last and foremost... Its seat position is very awkward - I was suffering from knee and back pain. In terms of reliability, I had to send the car to a shop for repairs almost every 6 months. Check engine lights from sensor gone wild (stopped in the middle of highway in Malaysia and towed back to SG), ABS sensor faulty twice. On the positive side, it handles really well in turns, high speed and in bad weather situations. Fuel economy is excellent for combined 5.5/100km in average. and... The look never disappointed me for any moment I owned it.!... Read More

Got the premium version about a month ago. One of the most comfortable drive I have driven. The suspension system and brakes dampens enough of the impact to make most humps and braking soft. The Bose sound system was great. Loved the exterior styling. The interior was luxurious with almost the entire dashboard covered with leather. The diesel engine gave extremely good fuel consumption.

It only gave the most basic bluetooth connection; Phone calls, sms and music, can't access messages on apps like whatsapp etc. The maps for the navigation are also way outdated. Roads near my home were already in use for a few years but are not charted on the maps.... Read More
