Originally was considering getting an S2K, but still leaned towards the TSX due to being practical as a daily driver. I have been looking around at 06-08 TSX up to around two weeks ago, I am now considering getting a BMW. Reason being is that, I am still young (25) and not held down by anything (gf, family, debt etc.). I want to enjoy things before I do get held down in the future by family, paying off a mortgage etc..

My alternative from the TSX is leasing a BMW 1 series. I do not want to buy the BMW because in the long run if I decide to keep it, maintenance bills might rack up. I drive a Civic and reliability is awesome with barely any major expensive service required on it over the course of the last 8 years of ownership.

I've been getting mixed emotions in terms of leasing as some that switch cars every few years like it and some have told me, I do not own the car and it's not worth paying monthly payments for something that's not even yours in the end, unless I plan to buy it outright when my lease is up.

Any advice RS? Who here is on a lease? Much appreciated.
