What's the bottom line? Which car will be cheaper to buy and own at the end of its life?
Consumer Reports did a study that answers your question. They initially made some errors in thier analysis which were later corrected. There still are some issues with their analysis, in my opinion, and your own situation may give you different results, but their conclusions are probably the most complete and most reliable you can find.

Look here first -

Then click on other parts of the report in the top left corner.
