I stumbled on this article about cost of owning a vehicle over the first 10 years, 75k miles, 150k miles ect linked below. Does this align with what you see? This doesn't take into account how the users drive the cars for instance honda drivers could drive the car harder and make modify them more. Just curious on your take!

If you take care of it, you will have it for a very long time....
Forget the article.....
In general a good article to get some awareness. And in general the list is accurate (although there are a few I disagree with placement on).
I found expensive cars to maintain were the ones I took to dealerships. When I did simple things like fluid changes, or at least had someone I trusted to it, I had fewer major problems to deal with. Use dealership and they will always find something "extra" that is a major thousand dollar "gotcha".
