We are convinced our next car will be leased. $200-300 a month and always have a new car with no repair worries. You either make the payments or put the payments in the bank each month for the next ...
IMO it's no different than renting a house. You will be paying to live and drive for the rest of your life. Buy it, drive it for 10 years, sell it then get another. Eventually if you time it right when you retire you won't have a house payment or a car payment. Leasing or renting a house isn't really that big of a deal for the short term, but the long term ramifications are not good. Unless you have a lot of disposable income or tax write offs I just don't see the benefit of it.
