In 2010, the cars Canadians most often bought all had a starting sticker price under $20,000. In keeping with the cost-conscious nature of the top 10 selling cars (according to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants), we've included the fuel consumption of each so you can gauge how much it will cost you to run the car each year if you're in the market to buy.
Based on driving 20 000 km per year, the fuel consumption (litres used per year) comes from Natural Resources Canada. Keep in mind that consumption typically varies within a model due to options chosen when the car is purchased. Deciding to go with that larger engine? Count on using up more gas.
Check out today's gas prices to get a rough idea on how much money will be spent each year on gas.

While budgeting for the gas you'll need to get around is a good idea, don't forget to consider the
cost of auto insurance as well. The cost of car insurance varies considerably between vehicle make and insurer, so getting competing car insurance quotes from multiple providers is the best way to ensure you are getting the best car insurance price.
