8. Chevrolet Malibu
The first North American car to make the list is the Chevrolet Malibu. Most U.S. automakers have made dramatic improvements to their line of cars in recent years—none more than Chevrolet. From the 1970s through to the 1990s, a Chevy was known for being a junky car and money pit for the people who owned them. However, Chevrolet has made great strides in recent years to improve the quality of the cars it makes, as well as their appearance and price point. Today, people can rest easy driving a Chevy Malibu knowing that the car will get them where they are going without costing them a fortune in mechanic fees. The fuel pressure regulator and air flow sensor are the most common issues with the Chevrolet Malibu, which, combined, will cost people around $800 to replace over the life of the car.
7. Honda Accord
Another popular and top selling car in North America, the Honda Accord makes this list for being one of the best made and rugged vehicles out there. Low repair costs have helped propel the Honda Accord into the hearts of American and Canadian drivers, who have made this model a top seller in North America for more than 25 years. The main problems experienced with this car include having to replace seat belt buckles as the miles add up and replacing spark plugs in the engine (a relatively common issue for most cars). New seat belt buckles can cost $150 each to replace, while spark plug repairs typically run around $250. Honda Accords also retain their value well over time and have among the highest resale value of cars sold anywhere in the world. All and all, a pretty good investment.
