Yep
2-year lease on an Audi 4S in the US.
I am not a fan. It never felt like the car was really mine, so I always treated it a bit like a rental car. You have to always be aware of the mileage limits as part of the lease agreement and that stopped me doing some trips I would otherwise have taken.
More problematic was when I handed the car back. They penalize you for every tiny ding on the car or the wheel rims.
I only got $800 back from the $3k damage deposit. It felt like it would be impossible to hand the car back in perfect condition after driving it for 20k miles. Basically, you should assume you will lose most of your deposit and factor that into the overall cost.
I'll never lease again, FWTW.
