I love getting new cars every few years and only drive them until the warranty expires. Leasing is perfect for me. I've never had a problem going over miles or damages - just take care of the damn thing!

I've lost more money buying and selling than leasing. Make sure you get a decently high end car with a high residual and your payments will be lower. Also don't pay more than a car payment as a downpayment. Mercedes wanted me to put down $5K on a lease. Thanks, but no thanks.

I'll add I've also had a second car that I've owned outright when I lease. But I've almost always had 2 cars even when I was buying them.
