Automotive Discussion - Autopten Forum -------------------------------------- Cheapest Cars to Own & Maintain ================================================================================ Author: Cheap Cars Guy[03-21-2012 07:39pm] Title: Cheapest Cars to Own & Maintain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The financial publication Kiplinger conducted a study to select the cheapest cars to own and maintain in a period of five years of use. These are the cars that cost less for their owners and to conduct this analysis considered different variants such as the cost of insurance, depreciation, taxes and fees, fuel costs, and repairs among others. The selected cars are all small in size since they have the lowest price in the market, greater fuel efficiency, and lower insurance costs. All of these cars come with six airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, and some of them with manual transmissions. :g_arrow:Nissan Versa S Fuel cost during 5 years: $9,048 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,134 Total cost during 5 years: $27,135 Fuel efficiency city: 27 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 36 mpg [img]/pics/Nissan-Versa-2012-cheapest-car.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Hyundai Accent GLS Fuel cost during 5 years: $8,143 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,145 Total cost during 5 years: $27,895 Fuel efficiency city: 30 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 40 mpg [img]/pics/Hyundai-Accent-2012.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Ford Fiesta S Fuel cost during 5 years: $8,568 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,623 Total cost during 5 years: $28,524 Fuel efficiency city: 28 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 38 mpg [img]/pics/Ford-Fiesta-S-2012.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Toyota Yaris L Fuel cost during 5 years: $8,306 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,451 Total cost during 5 years: $29,153 Fuel efficiency city: 30 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 38 mpg [img]/pics/toyota-yaris-2012.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Kia Soul Fuel cost during 5 years: $9,146 Insurance cost during 5 years: $4,402 Total cost during 5 years: $29,190 Fuel efficiency city: 27 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 35 mpg [img]/pics/Kia-Soul-2012.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Kia Rio LX Fuel cost during 5 years: $8,143 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,445 Total cost during 5 years: $29,345 Fuel efficiency city: 30 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 40 mpg [img]/pics/kia-rio-2012-new.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Scion iQ Fuel cost during 5 years: $7,553 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,461 Total cost during 5 years: $29,594 Fuel efficiency city: 36mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 37 mpg [img]/pics/new-scion-iq-2012.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Honda Insight Fuel cost during 5 years: $6,508 Insurance cost during 5 years: $5,487 Total cost during 5 years: $29,786 Fuel efficiency city: 41 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 44 mpg [img]/pics/2012-Honda-Insight-new.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Mazda Mazda2 Sport Fuel cost during 5 years: $8,759 Insurance cost during 5 years: $,5,633 Total cost during 5 years: $30,173 Fuel efficiency city: 29 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 35 mpg [img]/pics/new-2012-Mazda-mazda2-Sport.jpg[/img] :g_arrow:Honda Fit Fuel cost during 5 years: $9,361 Insurance cost during 5 years: $4,997 Total cost during 5 years: $30,411 Fuel efficiency city: 27 mpg Fuel efficiency highway: 33 mpg IIHS Top Safety Pick [img]/pics/new-2012-Honda-Fit.jpg[/img] :icon_e2_internet:Cheapest Cars to Own & Maintain in 2011 according to Kiplinger Publication 1.
