Leased mine for 60 months. I'll have it finally this Wednesday hopefully. What are my plans 5 years from now? Who knows. I'll be 24 by then. I'll probably want a faster car, but I'm not entirely sure if I'll get rid of the FR-S. The TRD supercharger will come out eventually and I know I'll save up money to get it, and that'll be a nice bump in power.
Other than that, I think the best route for me to go would be to buy out the car and keep it as a DD and get one of them new Chevy Stingrays, which will probably only be even better in 2018 lol.

If you are planning to keep the car ... Leasing is not the way to go. Also, it is best to keep lease terms no longer than 36 months. I lease because I like to look forward to a Different car every 3 years. Hoping that the new supra will be here then.

I'm going to see whats available at the end of my lease. It ends July 2015. I'm sure there will be a bunch of new cars I'll want by then. Hopefully the new supra, whatever they're calling it, will be out by then.

Why not just buy it if you are making payments for 60 months?

Nice handle. For what its worth my personal plate is RAVEN86. I'll be buying out my lease next year as I will be keeping my FRS for awhile. looks like my wife will be getting the new WRX if it looks anything like the concept car.

I'll probably keep it and then becomes something else than a DD.

That concept looks badass shitty thing is subaru makes lots of concepts but they never really get to production in a way that resembles the concepts, hope its not true for the wrx.

Because I'm not a 100% sure if I'll want to keep the car after 5 years. If I decide not to, I'll buy out the car for the 11k, and then sell it. It'll probably be worth around 16 or 17k at that time, so I won't come out upside down either way.
