Top Ten Cheapest Cars to Own

All top ten vehicles on the cheap car list are either compacts or subcompacts -- because the small cars tend to have the lowest market price, the best fuel economy, and reasonable insurance rates -- since premiums tend to rise with horsepower.

Market price: $10,922
5-Year fuel cost: $8,456
5-Year insurance cost: $4,851

Nissan's subcompact hatch, which gets 26 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, hits the streets at a smidge over ten grand but offers a bigger interior than classmates Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit. Six airbags are standard on even the lowest trim, but you'll pay $250 extra for ABS.
