Talked to a cab driver and he was on his second Toyota Prius, his first one, he had to sell and had 600,000km with very minimum maintenance, original battery/transmission... 600k km...what the heck. he did say if I wanted to buy a car that would last long, just to look at what taxi drivers drive... made sense to me.

But my mechanic says the 96 is the easiest to work on and I dont doubt him because he fixes it within days at most thus im getting cheaper repair bills on it. Do note they are mostly highway miles. Dont speed like a loon and these trucks can last until the engines blow up.

Good job yet, you could have expanded and thrown in a luxury car, full-size sedan, and a sports car categorie since you were hitting all the other categories anyway.

I'm sorry if I missed it but if you're going to tell what the depreciation is wouldn't it be nice to tell what the initial price is I suppose I can extrapolate that but that's a little extra work.

5 years maintenance, it costs in 20k range? That's expensive. I remember my Corolla didn't cause that much even my Nissan Altima of 5 years ownership with purchase new.

since ur in a rust belt. Always make sure you can look at the frame. I would highly suggest you look at the honda fit/cr-v/civic. Toyota rav4s/matrix. Mazda cx5's (these leak oil but you can repair it for sub $500 from shops its something about the valve covers). used latest models for: Mitsubishi mirages; beyond cheap used with low miles and kia souls as well are honorable mentions to get you around for 6 yrs before junking it. For example you an get 2015 kia souls/mirages for sub 10k with 80k miles. Just get a 3 year warranty from the dealerships.... 5 if you plan to trade them in down the long term, they both tend to have transmission flops but you cant beat their price for a close to new vehicle at this price range.

If you plan on keeping your car well beyond five years, you must change the fluids earlier than recommended. You will be happier and save $ in the long run. The manufacturer recommendations are meant to keep the cost of ownership reporting as low as possible. Their recommended maintenance intervals will wear out your vehicle prematurely. These five-year maintenance costs are ridiculous. They are for those who do the bare minimum to maintain their cars. If you properly maintain your vehicle (especially changing the fluids earlier than the manufacturer recommended) you will be spending significantly more over that time. You WILL be replacing the car battery and tires every three to four years (not including hybrids or EVs). You will be replacing the water pump and the drive belt and the PCV valve after 100k miles.

Corolla is new vehicle and cost $6,000 more than what I paid for 2017 Elantra (new) and my insurance premium increased by about 20%. I am sure there is many other elements are factored in so I guess it is case by case.

The overall costs considered is not compared apple to apple, as the top 3-5 cars are cheaper than others, leading to overall lower depreciation and interest, which is obvious!!

Remember when you had all these yahoos being absolutely hateful towards the Prius when it first became popular in the US years ago ? They called it "gay", they made fun of it being a "hippy" car, they said it would never last and be unreliable but the mighty Prius has embarrassed all its detractors by being one of the top tier most reliable, efficient AND cost effective vehicles to own.
