The Least Expensive Cars to Repair

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford vehicles are the least expensive to repair after a collision. This not only saves you big time on repair bills, but also helps out with lower insurance payments and premium hikes.

Motor Trend says Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles all "cost less to repair after a collision compared to other automakers' vehicles in the same segments."

Apparently, it wasn't even close. "Nearly 80 percent of Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles matched or beat the industry average in vehicle repair."

Toyota was a distant second (together with its Lexus and Scion subsidiaries), placing about 40 percent of its vehicles below the average cost.

Ford's slogan is "Drive One." And if you drive one into a wall, you won't have to break the bank to fix it.
