This is all based on personal preference, but I strongly vote for buying, and in addition to that, buying used instead of new.
Personally, I don't have enough wealth to accept the fact that I will have car payments for the rest of my life, which is the result of leasing. Also, I tend to keep my cars a long time and put a lot of miles on them.
I bought my 99 9-3 off lease with 38K miles for $13,500. The way I see it, the PO paid all the depreciation for me. Now he or she is paying for someone elses depreciation. Instead of lease payments I now have money for performance mods, wild women, etc :)
Just another .02...
