Also, while I really do love the car, it did have a weird electrical issue last year. Some voltage regulating component in the charging system malfunctioned and several systems were getting 18+ volt spikes and going into protective shutdown. They had to replace several things in order to ultimately fix that. Nothing's happened since, but it is one more thing giving me pause.
No matter what happens I am quite glad I leased, that much is certain.
