+1 for actual car ownership.

Idk I could never enjoy a leased car because at the end of the day, your freedom has been stripped away from car ownership thus leaving you with apartment syndrome where you are just biding your time until you can afford a home of your own, that has no restrictions on anything you do. Mileage restrictions on a new car? I mean come on, what is a new car for? I own three cars and I still manage to put about 20K a year on my FR-S just commuting to work.. I think this just boils down to freedom. You pay more money for a lease to have less freedom but also less responsibility for the car. Which is kind of lame because it seems like everyone around my age is just that, irresponsible.. I am the only person i know around my age that doesnt have rich parents that actually managed to save up a big chunk of money to put down on my frs so that I could have affordable payments.

In the end I think it just comes down to different wealth classes. People who have had money there whole life dont understand poorer people and vice versa. Poor people do not understand how rich people can have total disregard for money. I struggle with this concept daily because it is very difficult to relate to people who were born with the silver spoon.

ANYWAYS /rant over

I still think the IS F sports look sooooo cool.. Auto or not you've got me looking at used ones.. lol I think the only thing that would kill me would be gas mileage. low mpg + premium gas = broke all the time..
