if you lease the car and love it, buy it when the lease is up and consider it a 4 year test drive. in the meantime, you only pay 50% of the car in the first 4 years and at 1/48th at a time. why not keep your money in your bank account?
If the finance rate is low why not finance it? Then it is essentially free money...and after 48 months your cash flow improves dramatically.

Not many ways leasing makes sense if you want to keep a car long term...
