Running costs are almost excellent, okay the parts tend to be slightly more expensive but you can offset that against it being much rarer to need them - until I got a YRV I thought going to the garage 3-4 times a year (Fiat Punto) and paying out over miscellaneous problems was the norm. Fuel consumption seemed quicker than expected given the green-car credentials but that might have been due to driving at speeds and it's to the cars credit there was no trade-off from faults and repairs given such usage.
