Least Expensive Cars to Repair

Repair costs can be a huge hidden expense, especially if you plan on keeping your vehicle for a long time.

The study looked at the repair costs incurred for each model over a one year period.

The 2009 Toyota Corolla had the lowest average repair cost at only $45.84 followed by the 2008 Honda CR-V with $91.25 in repair costs.

Surprisingly, luxury brands fared the worst - not because of high repair costs, but because they needed repairs more often.

Here are the final rankings by car manufacturer:
