you need to look at your own situation and not just the payments. both are completely different cars even when "similarly equipped." its not apples to apples, and asking if u should finance one vs leasing the other is also just complicating matters more.

look at what you can afford and be comfortable with paying and are you the type of person that wants/gets a new car every 3 years? if that is your lifestyle, then i say lease it and look for something else later.

if you are like me, and like to buy a bunch of cars and drive em to the ground and buy new ones every 10-15 years or so, then finance it or pay cash. it will be cheaper and u spread the cost over a decade.

to each his own u know
