i am considering a 24 month lease on one of these things and then maybe finance afterwards. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
IronMedic:
I did a 24 month smart buy because the residual on the H3 was so good. If you don't go over the miles, this is a good way to go. However, buying it after the lease is normally not a good deal, especially at the end-of-lease price. You may be able to negotiate a better price at the end if you want to keep it, but it is usually best to walk away. I haven't checked lately, but residual was around 72% for two year, 15k miles/yr when I got mine.
Gas mileage for 1800 miles has been 16-16.5 on each tank, mixed city/highway driving with a fairly light foot.
As for the chick magnet thing, I can't help with that at all. I can tell you that all of the neighborhood kids turn and stare when I drive by. It is kinda neat being the "cool" dad in the neighborhood.
Good luck.
