I think thats correct, my previous boss's daughter got a Peugeot 207, she always had to spent lot for servicing, once she told me that they charged 500+ something just for changed the right hand side headlight globe. When she asked why its expensive, the dealer told her the globe is a special one for the car.. FInally she got rid of the car and around 6months ago she bought a Civic Type R.
Also BMW is another expensive one, my friend's mom's 07 BMW 5 series needed to change new battery and dealer charged $1200 for it..
This is the main reason i gave up idea buying BMW 3 seris and was tossing between lexus IS250 and Euro, i could not justify paying 57K driveaway for brand new IS250 for a Toyoda based and ended up with accord Euro.
