I actually think it might be. They will label anything they can a sports car just so they can get more money out of you

but it is labeled not by the insurance company but by the manufacturer, and other sorcers which would deem it to be so

mine is considered a coupe. it was the same charge after i switched cars from Del Sol to Accord Coupe. so i believe it is only considered a coupe. i bought another del sol and sold the accord coupe, and it's the same charge!

if u have just liability it dosent matter if its a 65 car or a 2005 benz your insurance would be the same. now if your getting full coverage its a different story. Thats the way it is with my insurance any way. But to answer your Q i think the Del Sol would be a sports car.

the 's' models are not considered sports cars. I can't speak for the si and vtec models though.

Yes it is. It's even worse since it has no back seats.

My insurance doesnt consider it a 'sports car' per sey (esp since its an S) but they did say the rate is a tad higher since it's not a 2+2 (aka insurance seat).

Either way it costs me like 550/every 6mo for full coverage on a 500 dollar deductable.

Car is red.

Mine is considered a two door roadster by mine, LOL but since it's a 1993 the insurance isn't high anyways.

Goes by the motor. After they consider a 2 door, it goes by motor. The S is cheaper than the Si, The VTEC is more than the Si. But overall insurance is cheap on the del sol.
