If you consider a Subaru - buy and keep it for 3-5 years, IMO. You will have higher monthly payments, but will have a lot of equity when you sell it or trade it in. Leases are never good on Subarus due to the lack of incentives and relatively high MF. If you just need a new car, you will find much better lease deals on other brands.
