I saw it posted on another forum (I have no CR subscription anymore).
They calculated cost of 8 years/96,000 miles.
This is for the economy/compact segment:
Quote:
Toyota Prius C: $34,750 ($0.36/mi)
Toyota Yaris Hatch: $38,500 ($0.40/mi)
Smart ForTwo: $38,500 ($0.40/mi)
Honda Fit: $39,000 ($0.41/mi)
Mazda2: $39,750 ($0.41/mi)
Nissan Versa: $40,000 ($0.42/mi)
Honda Insight: $40,250 ($0.42/mi)
Mini Cooper Base: $41,500 ($0.43/mi)
Ford Fiesta Hatch: $41,500 ($0.43/mi)
Hyundai Accent Htch $41,500 ($0.43/mi)
Chevy Sonic Hatch: $42,500 ($0.44/mi)
Fiat 500: $42,750 ($0.45/mi)
VW Golf TDI: $43,250 ($0.45/mi)
Kia Rio Hatch: $43,500 ($0.45/mi)
Lexus CT200h: $52,000 ($0.54/mi)
BMW 135i: $66,000 ($0.69/mi)
Yaris caught my attention as I just bought a used one for my kid.
I'm still not sure how more expensive Yaris is able to save more money over cheaper Hyundai or Kia subcompacts? Is it on depreciation? The Yaris I bought was not exactly cheap. Anyone saw more numbers form this publication and can explain it to me?
Thanks!
