The Cheapest Cars to Own for 2014

According to KBB, Mazda and Lexus offer the lowest ownership costs among all 2014 vehicles.

KBB recently released the winners of its 2014 5-Year Cost to Own Awards, which looks at the cars that offer the best bang for your hard-earned buck, taking into account not just depreciation and fuel costs, but insurance fees, state fees, and maintenance and repair costs throughout a five-year ownership.

Mazda was named number one in the overall brand category, while Lexus took top honors for "Luxury Brand." Other category winners included models from Toyota, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Mitsubishi.
