10 Cheapest Cars to Own, 2013 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yarflana · 03-14-2013, 11:42 AM

Problem with that is most folks, at least that the article is addressed to, don't keep vehicles much past 3-5 years.

I am gearing my Yaris to run until I have to peddle it like the Flintstones!

I think they should take insurance out of the equation in this ranking. Too many variables -- your zip code, your marital status, your 'score' (a max 1,000 point score that includes credit and other things -- not a credit score -- I forget the acronym affixed to it -- my agent showed it to me a couple of years ago), how much coverage you decide to get (re paid off or not, level of your personal assets, how much the car is still worth, etc.), driving record, etc.

I'm one of these funny folks that drives cars until there soooo beat, it would cost more to fix than but another. At that point I but another.

I'm keeping the Yaris until it's wrecked. I find the design of the yaris to be Genius in more ways than one.
