^^^^ I agree BUT for many that is their only way to own a car letalone a nice one.
I'm on vwroc as im always looking in their classified and yes ive noticed the "lease brigade" getting sh*tty with people on there. One chap leases his car and is further finacing his BT and has bought various parts from certain online stores that offer credit etc.......but ETTO.
Leasing/financing or getting a personal loan for a car is a great way to obtain a car that would be out of your reach normally, it's personal chioce and once again......ETTO.
I am fortunate (or lucky enough) to be able to save for a car as I usually keep each car between 5 or 6 years. I'd happily lease a Mk7 R400 or a new RS3 but I'd not feel comfortable modifying it as i feel it's not really mine, im borrowing it. I believe modifing a leased car is also not allowed but I could be wrong.
I'd rather buy a car, know it's mine 100% and do what I like to it, be that good or bad.
