Should I just buy a Honda civic hatchback LX CVT or lease it?

It's pretty inexpensive compared to other cars, but I don't know about wanting to drive it for a long time.

How much am I "losing" compared to buying if I lease it? It's around $2000 down and $180~ a month for 36 months + return fee, etc. If I do end up purchasing it at the end of the lease contract, I wouldn t lose as much right?

Added (1). If I do buy I have $4000 for the down and the APR is 2.7-2.99%.

In 4-6 years you might be able to lease, Not now.

And you lose a LOT leasing before buying.

You don't have the first clue what you are doing.

  • Do leasing companies check your mileage every year or just st the end of the lease term? I was thinking about leasing a new Honda, but they only want to give me 12,000 miles per year. Is that the kind of thing they check every year or can I get away with driving more one year, as long as I keep my mileage low the next year?
  • What is a good monthly lease payment for new 2015 Honda CRV exl AWD- 36 month lease/12k miles? What is a good monthly lease payment for new 2015 Honda CRV exl AWD-- 36 month lease/12k miles? thanks for the reply… My credit score is excellent. I referred to monthly payment since its my first time leasing and I not familiar with terms like money factor and residual. I simply look at the down payment and the monthly payment that I have to make per month.
  • Is a Honda Civic Hatchback good in the snow, or should I get a CRV instead? I live in Ontario up North and we got a lot of snow this year. I was driving a 2005 Altima FWD with winter tires. I got stuck many times, lost grip on the road many times. The snow ate up half the car when it snowed a lot. I was wondering to get the civic hatchback 2019, but I don't want to get stuck in snow again. I was wondering if the CRV AWD would be better in the winter and safer in general
  • Which Honda Civic coupes have CVT transmissions? (06-09)? I plan on buying a Honda Civic coupe between the years of 2006-2010 and I'm trying to figure out if any of those Honda civics have CVT transmissions. I test drove a 2013 Honda Civic coupe EX (automatic) and it felt as if I was driving a manual because you could feel the gears change, it sounded amazing and I loved it. So I'm wondering if any of those years have that same feeling.
