Leases are great depending on your lifestyle... if you don't keep a car for more than 3-4 years before you want something new.. why make large payments to own it??? if you don't keep the car for more than 10 years.. it won't pay off mathematically...

just like paying cash... if you buy the car for $40K... you could invest that same amount and make a conservative 12% over 5 years on it.. vs... leasing a car and only paying for what you are using... at around 6.9%... you come out ahead... on interest.. you stillhave your money... and you can trade your car off for a brand new one... with a full warranty and that wonderful new car smell

tough choice... on those selections... drive em all and see which one you like the most.. there are good and bad things about all of them... insurance, reparirs, performance, and residual...
