You have your new car and got it at a great price, but will it cost you more money in repairs in the long run? According to a new report from CarMD about which cars cost the least to repair, Toyota (NYSE:TM) took the top spot, despite its many recalls. Hyundai, who has had flourishing sales this year, came in second. Rounding the top ten were Honda (NYSE:HMC), Ford (NYSE:F), General Motors (NYSE:GM), Mitsubishi, Nissan, Kia, Volkswagen and Chrysler.

CarMD is a diagnostic and repair website that collects repair data from its network of 3,000 U.S. mechanics. The report covers models from 2001-2011, but mainly repairs made in the last year. The report found that Luxury brands fared worse due to recurring repairs not high costs. Hyundai has made great strides in low repair frequency. Ford’s Edge SUV had strong performance. Buick stood out for General Motors.

CarMD also offers a list of which repairs are most frequent for individual car brands. The goal of the website is to make sure consumers know what they should be paying for repairs. They have a device, costing $119 that plugs into the diagnostic system on your vehicle to detect problems.
