I believe that maintenance was less this year (because of the initial winter tire purchase and the new battery the previous year), but repair costs were right up there. The $280 oil leak, the $150 steering repair, the $44 exhaust fix, and the $312 for four new wheel bearings were all this year.
Oh well, it sure beats spending $420 a month on a lease payment for an SUV the driver doesn't even own.
