 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)
