I don't necessarily think giving a girl a car with almost 300hp is a good idea for her first car. And an Infiniti will be expensive to fix when she crashes it. And the statistics say that something absurd like 8/10 drivers will crash their car within the first year of their license.

I told the same thins to my parents when they got my sister a car when she turned 16. They didn't listen to me and bought her a more or less brand new Lincoln MKX. She crashed it last week, and has had it since August. I'm not even going to get into the fact that they bought her an MKX whereas I got a 200k mile Explorer for my first car, when I was almost 19.

But even if you don't heed my advice (which you most likely will not, seems to be a common pattern with people and my good advice), offleaseonly.com is a good place to check. Of course, they're out of Florida, which might be farther away than you'd want.
