Top 10 Most Affordable Cars in 2018
When considering the cost of vehicle ownership there are a lot of things to consider. Firstly there is, of course, the price you actually pay but on top of that is how much it will cost to ensure reliability, fuel economy, and maintenance costs. Paying a fair price is important, however, if you really want the most cost effective new car you will have to look beyond the purchase price. The following list of most cost-effective vehicles for 2018 is based on 5-year cost-to-own figures by Kelly Blue Book that combines depreciation, fuel, insurance, and financing cost to help consumers make a more informed decision when considering an affordable new car.
