This might be off topic or maybe some of you may have read this before and I know that there has been numerous threads posted concerning insurance rates & premiums and what not..... and maybe some of you already know this, but here is an article that I read that may help some of us who wonder why we pay so much... and some of us who pay so little for insurance coverage...

"The 1999 to 2001 Acura Integras, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, were nearly seven times more likely to be stolen than the average four-door. The same model years of Jettas, by contrast, were about 20% less likely than average to appeal to a thief."

Well just in general type r's are way more expensive to insure than other cars. At the insurance company I work for, on a scale of 1 to 27 on highest risk and most expensive to insure, the type r is a 24! A gsr is only 19 and ls,gs is only 18! Unless your driving record is immaculate youre gonna be paying out the ***, just like me!

Well, that's odd... when I first called to insure my R, I asked the difference in premiums between the GSR and the ITR and the insurance said that it's cheaper to insure the ITR than the GSR.... the reason, I don't know... but I thought that was odd then...

 

i got my gf insured on my car instead of me. for me its 2100 every 6 months for her its 950
