Let me preface by saying that I never thought that I would be a guy who drives a hybrid or electric car :shrug::xpl:. But, due to switching jobs I am now driving a ton and gas is absolutely killing me. I am thinking of selling my daily driver (2011 Subaru Outback) and leasing a Hybrid Corolla, Volt, Optima or something equivalent. Being a good size guy at 6'5" and 265lbs I need a mid-size to full-size vehicle and only need a power seat, Bluetooth and an iPod hook up as far as options are concerned.
I spent the last couple days researching this "purchase" and feel that due to lease specials it makes the most sense to go that route. Due to the current incentives, I can lower my payment by $100-150 per month and at least double my gas mileage. Moreover, my auto insurance will stay about the same as well. To me, it seems this is a win-win scenario, financially anyways.
All that said I have absolutely no experience in this area and am looking for opinions from people who do. Thanks in advance for your help!
