Leasing is primarily driven by cash flow considerations. Zero, or close to zero down payment is possible, with lower payments than a loan, for the same vehicle under consideration.
Leasing is the lowest cash flow way to drive in-warranty vehicles with little or no up front capital invested.
Purchasing after leasing is simple. Just communicate your wishes to a salesperson at any dealership of the same brand, and it is an easy process.
Personally I choose not to lease, as my preference is long term (10+ years) and high mileage (200k miles) ownership, with significant work done DIY.
