I have had two leasing experiences - both with American Honda Financial.
Absolutely easy, painless and wonderful.
I would not hesitate to lease a Honda from them again, however just bought a 2016 Honda Pilot that we did not want to lease.
Sorry to hear of your troubles...
All my many leases have been painless as well. I have never paid an additional dime. As to this article, I just leased a Fiat 500E for $69.00 a month, hard to beat when the list on the car was 31K.
