Other (slightly) below-average blippers include Mazda's 3 ($470) and Volkswagen's Golf ($450). The cost of the car isn't directly reflective of how much a replacement key will cost, though.Ford's Fiesta small-car averaged a whopping $575 from the dealers we phoned.To be fair, though, you do get two keys for that price.t the other end of the market, some of the more humble offerings, such as the cheap-and-cheerful Suzuki Alto, can still cost plenty for a new key. The Alto was one of the least expensive keys to replace yet was still far from cheap, with quoted prices of $250 and $278 including cutting and coding.
