I'm curious...What made you decide to sign the papers prior to watching the reviews/videos of the car? Not to sound arrogant or mean but I probably would've done that beforehand. 
After spending all of one minute on Google,, I did manage to find several videos so far:
As you may notice, the reviews/consumers of the Q50 3.7 Premium model run the gamut. I can't tell how much time you spent driving/testing the Q50 Premium at this point but I'll just say, pay close attention to these videos.
Side question: Did you get any optional packages on that Q50 Premium?

I would recommend saying **** to the reviewers and test drive the configuration you plan to buy. The reviews have been all over the place, a majority reference the DAS, which you may or may not like. I have the premium without DAS and the road feedback is fine!
For me it would be difficult to make a decision based solely on online reviews. Car pro gave it a solid 5 stars, while consumer reports says something different.
Bottom line like simpsontide said, you should test it out yourself first.

I'll say, the value of the videos lie mostly in understanding the features of the car more than anything. As far as the driving goes, it's definitely a more personal experience that will vary heavily depending on the person, their preferences, and the environment/need. The videos can help shape your expectations but it's no replacement for a thorough test drive.

My spouse is a car salesman (Nissan) and did most of the research. I tend to get caught up in every little negative that a reviewer reports so he suggested I go in and just drive the car myself. I did just that to see how it felt compared to my G37x. I asked lots of questions and felt comfortable with the purchase. I was just looking for "professional" reviews out of interest at this point.

Hmmmm..
Kinda like you watched a movie and made up your own opinion before reading the reviews?
Let me ask you this---and I guess it's already too late, but did you take a look at the Hybrid of the Sport models at any chance?

I drove a Sport before the Premium. I can't afford the Hybrid or I definitely would have went with it. I haven't signed any papers, just had them bring in the car. I sign tonight. In the end I don't think I could make a "bad" choice with this car, regardless of sport/premium.

I.....would say, there is quite a difference between sport/premium in more ways than one and depending on your needs and what kind of driver you are, sure, there probably isn't a "bad" choice but one could be a much better choice than the other depending on the circumstance.

I ended up with the AWD Premium, but as I've mentioned in a another post... I am not in love. Not sure I would be in love with the sport either. I drove a sport but didn't drive it like I wanted to with the salesman in the car. It's my fault. Might go back and drive the sport like I want to drive it and see how it feels. I've been reading a lot on here and seems the majority are saying if you're looking for a G the Q isn't it. Or maybe it's just the threads I'm pulling up. I'm still hopeful. Still a great car regardless.
