I know I got in on a promotion with Subaru when I bought my BRZ and am only paying 0.9% interest rate on my 4 year loan
Leasing is good if you are not sure you want the car long term, but want to try the car out or want a new car every 3 years and have the dough. Also it was a way to stretch out payments - 3 year lease then buy with a 5 year loan. Sure you are paying the most but it can make the monthly affordable for some people. Now they give 7 year loans, so that's a better way.

Others say lease a high performance car and drive the snot out of it under warranty. Then before lease is over get it checked out including oil analysis. If it's good might be worth buying it. If engine wear looks bad dump it.

It's always good to have options. Plus I have picked up virtually new cars off of lease for deep discounts.

Did you get any accessories? I'm paying $29,940 Out the Door (once it gets here > ) It was $27,800 before any taxes, titles, doc fees with blue interior lighting and nav mirror for additional accessories. Had to order mine, the wait it awful! I'm pretty happy with the price though, think you did well!

I understand that a lot of you chose a tranny based on your preferences but please do not put down others for their choices.
It was a joke. Laugh.

I honestly like to play with my trannies.
If you guys let your trannies do the work, well then i guess that's just how it is.

Thanks for all the replies! Yeah I believe it was an excellent deal after having the car for about a month. Extreme upgrade from my Honda Civic as a DD...already put 1800 miles on it.
