Infiniti Q30 in-depth review - Carbuyer

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Infiniti Q30 is the Japanese company's answer to premium hatchbacks like the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class. In fact, it even shares several mechanical parts with the Mercedes, including its diesel engines.
The inside is high quality with a luxury feel, plus the Q30 comes with plenty of standard equipment. It's comfortable to drive, too. But how does it compare to its rivals? Watch the video and find out!

I watch Carbuyers videos to find out about the car their reviewing, not about the person reviewing it! Whether Matt has left or not isn't Carbuyers fault or anyone else's, so give the guy a break and treat him with some respect!

    +GlitterBuzz There're more contributing factors than "content" alone in car reviews, last but not least “presentation”. Most viewers of Carbuyer expect videos delivered in a light-hearted candid manner, not from a presenter that dresses like a car salesman and speaks like a car salesman. As a matter of fact Rebecca's debut is worthy of a cringe, but her development over time no doubt played a significant role to where Carbuyer is today. Perhaps James believes he is the finished article, stands by his own style, blinkers out the critics and hoping viewers will find love for him eventually, perhaps, if Carbuyer is the only channel that does car reviews...

    Having seen it in the metal outside my office a good few times, I actually think it's one of the better-looking premium hatches. I don't think it's quite as distinctive as he makes it out though. I mean, the overall shape is very similar to the Mercedes A-Class, let's be honest... and it looks very tacky and Japanese inside, which is a pity. Certainly more appealing than a Lexus nonetheless, I would say.

    Surely the one point to raise when your comparing a Japanese luxury car to the german or british models is the much improved reliability and the fact you can rely on the car more. Carbuyer seems to be obsessed with mentioning the quality of the materials of the dashboard and little else. There are horrible reliability problems with Audi's for example but you wouldn't know it looking at carbuyer videos. A soft dashboard doesn't rank as my no.1 priority.

Q30 beats all of Audi and BMW in quality of interiors. Mercedes GLA and Q30 have same space in the back seat. I did not find it as bad as you have rated. It is comparable to high end brands. British usually follow 'ratings' and we'll known brands, hence Infiniti is less popular in the UK
