For the caliber of car and performance cabability, this car is pretty cheap to maintain. You can get a Mobil1 oil change at around $50 and other high quality oils for up to $120. 120 would be the nissan ester ehich you can probably negotiate down to $90.
Tires will hit hardest. To preserve performance of the car while on a budget, Hankook Ventus series provides great bargain performance. But with those tires you have to break them in somewhere between 300 and 500 miles before they are ready for aggressive performance. Hankooks will run you between $800-950.
Gas is the hardest constant... with a premium only engine and eratic gas prices, you can pay $50 one day and 90 the next.
