10. The BMW X1
Model Years: 2009-Present
Avg. Repair Costs: $915/Year*
The BMW X1 was released in 2009 to cater to the needs of those who enjoy SUVs but feel that they are either too big or not comfortable enough. The X1 is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV with three or four engine options—a turbocharged gasoline engine or a diesel engine—and the option of all-wheel drive.

If your new BMW X1 was brand new when you bought it, the cost of maintenance for the first ten years of ownership will be almost half of the car’s original price, which is today roughly $35,500. Not to mention, there’s over a 50% probability that the X1 will require significant repairs during the first ten years.
