It'll depend a lot on the difference in price for people - or another way of thinking about it is you can rent a better car than you can buy.

I think a lot of people will have much higher cost pressures than many of us on HN (at least, my impression is that we here are typically well above local median wages). That may push it a lot, and even more when you remove the upfront costs.

Also personally I'd love to not have to own a car. If it's even cheaper - great.
