I got my q50s awd early of September. First of all, car's performance is the best within this price range. In terms of accerelation, braking, and handling, they are good enough to be called "Japanese BMW". I also own 2015 Acura TLX with SH-AWD and compare it to Q50s, TLX has much better comfort ride quality. Q50S's noise is quite noticeable and legroom, head room and back seats are not big enough as TLX. There is a lot of controversy on Direct Adaptive Steering system and to be honest, most of drivers would not even notice and it also offers precise and quick handling. Please do not mind about this system. However, the fact that you have to get all the way to tech package (you have to get another two packages in order to get this) in order to get simple safety features such as blind spot monitoring system is quite annoying and its back up camera seems to fuzzy specially during the night (my 2014 honda civic ex has much better quality). However, this car still has a lot of standard features that are usually optional in some of other competitors. Q50S suppose to be sport car and I think Infiniti has done a great job with that. If you want comfort, smooth and easy riding, this car isnt great for you. Q50s is really for driving enthusiast who drives a lot to be afraid of owning BMW. BTW, if you are going to get Q50, make sure to get "S". its worth the price ! 19inch wheel, 4piston caliper, special front bumpers and sport front seats that also have manual thigh support!

2015 Q50 Sport model. Sticker price over 49k but under $390/mo with under 3000 upfront money including taxes. I think low price reflects Infinity unloading 2015's to make room for 2016's. That will be my strategy from now on. My prior lease was 2014 Lexus IS 250. This Infinity blows that car away with size, power (duh), comfort and superior navigation and radio features. Seats 5, but middle of rear seat over drive shaft is way too high and uncomfortable for anyone unlucky enough to be sitting there for an extended drive. Climate control seems pretty accurate with transition from cold weather to unseasonably warm weather happening with minimal input on my part. I always felt comfortable. Can't say anything about mpg since I haven't had the car long enough. The mpg' are climbing steadily and it looks like I can get to 25 mpg without much effort. Something I could not do in my Lexus no matter how hard I tried. The 5 drive modes are pretty cool with sport mode pushing out some hefty acceleration with a bit of a throaty roar from the exhaust (we're not talking Mustang roar here though). The economy mode (where I do most of my driving), looks like I can get up to 30 mpg...but we'll see about that. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the car.

It's clear that Nissan makes lots of money on the Infiniti, but it is a nice daily driver and pretty nice to look at. Not much torque, but still mid 5's to get to 60 MPG. It's a little bumpy with the run flat 19's. What makes it a great car is the low cost lease. Why drive a used car when you can get a new car in mid 300's per month? If you get the Non sport model, it is in the low 300's per month.

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.

I have to laugh when edmunds.com lists as one of the positives is its roomy trunk. This is literally one of the reasons we sold ours. We couldn't fit our luggage in and there are only two of us. On the plus side, its a very sporty looking car and drives like one. Quick throaty response and plenty of giddy-up! My wife like to drive on our country roads in sport mode and went through an expensive set of tires in under 20K. We don't do that any more. We also drove through a vicious snowstorm and the car handled great. The infotainment system is non-intuitive and makes for dangerous driving while trying to figure it out. It most cases, you need a co-pilot to figure out the infotainment system while moving. Overall we liked the car but just didn't love it.
