There are too many factors. Interest rates, taxes, down payment, residual value, car model , month of lease, accessories, etc. For example, a Civic lease payment can range anywhere from $200/month to $600/month.
My MINI Copper cost $350 CDN/month to lease for 39 months, 0 down with a 62% residual value. I think the final price was around $27,000.
Why not go to the manufacture's website, build your car and it'll give you a payment calculator.

Seriously though, like said before, there are way too many factors. Go to the dealership of choice and get a quote.

Thanks for the info.
I was just inquiring for somebody else. I went online and I got spammed by dealers as soon as I asked.
I figure most cars are between $199 and $299 per month but I didn't know if I could trust the commercials. The Honda Accord deal with modest down payment sounds great.

I leased 2 Honda sedans last year. I got the accurate info from the Honda USA website and then called a local Honda dealer to do the paperwork. It was $199 a month. The price has gone up a bit since then.
Leasing is worthwhile if you are not hurting for money.
So, I agree with you that buying is a better choice cost wise for most people.
I have a Civic LX and a 36 month lease, 12k miles per year, is $214.10 a month. Although I think they are offering better deals now.
There is no case for leasing other than it makes it easier to get a new car way before you need it, over and over. Some states charge much higher sales tax for leases vs purchases, to make it even worse.
I can always have a new car, never have to worry about tires or tuneups. I can have a Honda, then a BMW, then a Porsche or whatever I want every two or three years. This is an extravagance I can afford.
You are correct saying that leasing does not make sense for most folks, but I am not "most folks".
If you upgrade your car every 3-5 years leasing is not *that* bad.
If you drive your cars into the ground, it's an awful investment
I have a mazda 6 lease. 36 month, 15k miles a year. 2k down(included tax,title,reg,etc). $172/month
