Look for a car with hi resale value like a Honda or a Nissan as your payments will be much lower (residual value much more at the end, thus the smaller payments so they buy it back for more when your lease is over). Don't lease anything American.
Also don't put a dime down and keep asking for a lower payment. Sometimes a lease works out to ALMOST an interest free loan if you work the number right.
Not a horrible decision but I would still rather buy
