I lease my 1LE because I can write off the entire cost of the lease, gas, upkeep... If i wasn't able to write it off. I'd never lease.
Leasing isn't a bad thing mind you. But buying makes more sense fiscally if you either (a) plan to keep your car for a long long time, or (b) plan to trade your car in for a new one around the 4-5 year mark with low miles while it still has value.
Leasing makes sense if you're planning on having a new car every 2-3 years, or if you're just unable to afford the car you want and don't mind the fact that you'll not get the full fledged equity built into a bought car.
