try to keep your finance to 48/60 months if you can.

Sorry..horrible advice
(Psychologically, or forced saving is another topic...) but financially, when you have 0% APR, you should always go $0 down and pick the longest term possible.
You are better off saving all those extra cash in your bank, TFSA, or whatever investment you have.
It doesn't cost you anything to hold those extra debt when it is 0% financing. Cash in your own pocket earn you income on the other hand.
Negative equity is a pointless terms when it comes to buying a car...
Regardless of whether you decide to sell the car in 2,3,5,6, or 20yrs etc, you can always pay back whatever is owed w/ no penalty anyway.
Before you decide which routes, you should decide whether buying a car is the right choice for you in the first place tho.
