Car Troubles

So i currently drive a Honda. Rhona has been good to me, no lie there. But i feel the need to upgrade, move on to greener pastures. But everyone in my family thinks i am wild. I can lease a brand new 2012 Subaru for LESS then what i am paying right now and it would be all wheel drive not front wheel like i am driving now. I am torn. I need a cosigner, but no one in my family will sign because they all think i am dumb. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! It seems obvious to upgrade, its cheaper, gets better gas mileage, and looks not like a beater. HELP! Has anyone leased a car before, any advice to this youngster?
