well im guessing you'll just have to add the difference to the car price hahaha. also if you compare car with similar features, i think the civic will still be cheaper to run. honda is comparing low end models with other lower end models

No, it's a 5 year cost.

It just goes to show that buying a cheap car doesn't always translate into a inexpensive ownership experience.

The Civic is one of the most expensive small cars to buy, yet ends up being the least expensive cars to own.

Not saying the figures are wrong but how convenient it is that the statistics are from a Honda site.

They're actually promoting a different site, because it's from a third party.

i dont think the site counts interest from payments. its based on the car and operation use. its probably a lot harder to count interest since ppl get different rates.
