If you want a screaming lease deal, check out the Subaru Solterra. It makes me genuinely upset I bought one instead of leased.

Love the car, didn't mind the price, but wow these things are at a discount.

Because they are one of the worst vehicles in their class.

Dunno about that... My criteria was a bit different than the "on paper" stats:

1) Had normal instrumentation and control systems inside. No spaceship tech features.

2) Reliability and build quality cannot be compromised.

3) Strong dealership network with readily available parts and trained technicians.

Fast charge rate and long road trip worthiness doesn't matter to me because I don't do that. It's absolutely peppy and will put down the power when you need it for a quick merge or highway on ramp. Overall incredibly happy with this car.

I'd also say it's objectively one of the worst EVs on the market, and as far as the dealership network and technicians go, perhaps only if you can get a Toyota service center to work on it. It's not really a Subaru at all, it's a rebadged Toyota bZ4X, best-known for the "its wheels fall off" stop-sale recall in 2022.

I leased one and have been loving it. It's a great car if your not road tripping. The lease price really helps too.

Everything is relative to price. The bz4x and Solterra were not great cars at their original price, but at $169/month lease....

Nothing stops you from selling the car and getting another on lease. And how is #300/mo a screaming deal?
