Is leasing or buying a Toyota Prius a better financial decision?

I'm trying to decide whether to lease or buy a Toyota Prius. I want to make a financially responsible decision, but I also want to consider the long-term costs. Can anyone offer some advice or personal experience on this? Thank you!

Leasing a Toyota Prius may seem like a good deal upfront with lower monthly payments, but in the long run, buying may be a more financially responsible decision.

Buying a Toyota Prius may be a larger upfront investment, but you will have long-term savings in the form of no monthly payments once the car is paid off.

Consider your long-term needs and budget before making a decision. Leasing can be a good option if you want a new car every few years, but buying may be better if you plan on keeping the car for a longer period of time.
