Leasing v. Buying, and the better choice is?

In today's economy and today's economic market troubles i've read in auto magazine articles that leasing is the better choice as opposed to buying. Yes, leasing is like renting a car and you don't keep it at the end or you can keep it if you buy it off whatever it's worth then. My family leases and they love it, We once bought a car, 5 years later it had severe engine problems and my parents had to pay thousands of dollars to keep fixing it and eventually we had to sell it anyways. We paid a lot of money fixing it and nothing ever helped. Since my family has leased they never had problems with cars, never had to worry about mechanical problems and the amount they pay is fair. I'm soon going to lease a car of my own no matter what anyone tells me i'm going to lease. In your opinion, which would you rather do in today's auto market, lease or buy a car and which car would you lease/buy. Also why do you choose one option over the other?
