Leasing is usually a good option if you plan to switch cars in 3 years or so because you pay lesser than the rapid initial depreciation. However if you intend to keep the car for longer then buying is better as depreciation starts to flatten. Of course assuming similar driving.

Couple of suggestions when you lease to make it even cheaper:
- Include 100% maint and services in the lease
- Negotiate hard and make dealers compete against the price

you cant..you have to pay for entire duration....

With lease, I was constrained by miles limit and I couldn’t drive as much as I wanted. Higher the miles higher the payment.
