  • Ride, distinctive styling, quality
  • Can feel sluggish, poor visibility, can't offer driving thrills

If there’s one thing that could be improved, it’s that as a pseudo-crossover the Q30 isn’t as sleek as it could be. We’d be intrigued to see one with a few inches removed from its ride height – which would no doubt bring benefits for handling, too.
