Wear & Tear
It's your responsibility to keep the car in good condition. Return the car with a dented fender, bald tires, or a ruined engine because of lack of routine maintenance and you'll be charged for the repairs. Some wear and tear is allowed, of course. But if you aren't inclined to take reasonable care of your car, leasing may not be for you.
Wheelbase

Windshield
The piece of glass through which the driver views the road ahead of the car. |
