Top 10 Family Sedans by Annual Fuel Cost

5th Place: Kia Spectra – $2,027

With the lowest starting price here, the Spectra is quite the bargain. Drivetrain warranty is 10 years or 100,000 miles. The four-cylinder engine produces 138 horsepower and 136 lb.-ft. of torque. Interior materials are nicer than the price suggests, and it's nimble and utilitarian. We found the seats wanting and excessive engine drone at 75 mph or higher, but for a commuter car those might not be deal breakers.
