I think the answer is different then and now. We have typically leased at good (low) interest rates, with decent discounts (usually 15%+), and still end up with equity in the car. So then you're really looking at the cost of ownership - ie cost of lease minus equity, minus the lower bills of owning a new car (MOT, tyres, etc). Compared to other cars, works out quite well.
Now? With price increases, higher loan rates, and little in the way of discounts, my estimate is that it is at least c30% more. We're now buying the car and seeing what happens (it doesn't help that the dealer couldn't sell for toffee though).
