Disappointed
I purchased the Q50 over the BMW because I could get a V-6 for the same price as the the BMW 4-Cyl. turbo. Acceleration is fun but the car does not grip the road like a BMW. The handling is squirrelly Also, the Q50 makes a bizarre ping sound when backing out of a parking space. I've brought into the dealer 6 times and they could not fix it. They even replaced the steeiring column. Also, the only place to put your phone is in the center console and the the center console is too small for my iPhone 6+. It's a love / hate relationship with my Q50.

Unsung Hero
It really sucks that this car will be overlooked by most due to the ongoing poor reviews for the "Drive by Wire" steering that has been universally panned by enthusiast reviews. It seems every car road tested has all the electronics which, while impressed by them, many reviewers disliked as being too disconnected and not feeling natural. This is why I did my research and, once I found out I could lease a well equipped Q50 AWD Premium I ran to my dealer to do so. I put no money down and pay $430 a month. Options were Navigation (which includes voice activation, Bose System, Infiniti In Touch and Sirius Radio, the 19inch wheels (must have) leather package, and spare tire. NO drive by wire steering, ever!!! Outfitted like this it is one of the best looking cars in its class and you get a ton of equipment for 10k less than a BMW and the exclusivity that is hard to find. I have never seen another exactly like mine in my medium sized city. Reliable, great service, tons of features, fast, smooth, and always a treat to turn around and admire. Full LED lighting, Bose Studio on Wheels, it even reads my texts! DONE!

Great balance of performance and luxury
I was looking for a sedan with all wheel drive, 0-60 in under 6 seconds, and led headlights and the Q50 worked out to be the cheapest way to meet those needs. Many comparisons are made to the BMW 3 series, and Merdeces-Benz C class, but the q50 can be purchased for significantly less money. I found that I was able to get a Q50 for less than a Subaru wrx sti and the build quality is far superior. I was able to buy a q50 for 33k (36.8k out the door with tax, and other fees)

Will not buy an Infiniti again.
The car itself is not bad at all. It has many great features and enjoyable to drive. However Infiniti has put in their own GPS ( absolute garbage) if your low beam burn out you have to replace the whole light which is about $1400 USD. If you have the 3.7L get ready to use 15L in the city premium fuel. Would not call it a reliable car many small issue. It's cheaper to own a Mercedes Benz then an Infiniti.

Beware of intrusive and unpredictable systems!!
Loved the vehicle when I purchased it brand new and loaded with every option. Sporadic, intrusive, and dangerous behavior by the "smart" safety systems and Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) has made me afraid to drive the vehicle. I won't put my family in it. The dealership and Infiniti blame all trouble on a EZ Pass transponder being placed too much in front of the camera on the windshield. Research thoroughly before purchasing this vehicle. I'm not the only one with problems.
