Depends on one's driving cycle. I'm on track to put less than 10k/year on my BRZ.
Unless a company offers an especially good residual, or you have tax/business advantages to leasing, it's usually cheaper to buy. In this case, for a 12k miles/year lease:
$339/month + $2139 at signing = $0.39 per mile
If you buy the car and plan to sell it after only 42 months, you'll likely still pay less than that. You might even be better off trading it in after 42 months than leasing (but the difference won't be as pronounced).
If you buy the car and keep it longer than 42 months, you'll almost certainly pay less per mile (even after factoring in maintenance).
