I don't know if you want to call maintanace cheap or expensive, it all depends on what you are comapring it to..
Oil Change - $120 (Dealer) $70 (DIY) this is very convinenat because in the crossfire the oil filter is located on top so you never have to pick up the car.. just the drain the oil through the dip stick using a vaccum pump...
Tires - ~$1000 for decent tires such as the Goodyear Eagle GS-D3s, However numerous people on the forum have been skimping on tires and buying such things as Kumho Escata..
Filters - Cabin Filter $40, Oil Filter $17, Air Filter probably around $40...
Brake pads - $225
Spark Plugs - likely over $100
