Default Question..plz answer

i'm trying to buy a 92~95 Honda Civic, manual if possible..
but i'm worried about the color.
I'm gonna get coupe or hatchback...
but all da cars i like in da sites are RED...
and i heard that RED is more expensive on insurance.
is that true??
does it effect the price of the insurance?
or is it just that cops and insurance company doesn't like RED?
or even tho it's expensive, it's only like few hundreds difference?
plz answer...thanks..

I Honda Civic

Yea red is way more expensive on insurance. Especially on a super mega ultra fast civic h/b. My suggestion buy a red h/b or coupe and paint it pink. Pink is the cheapest to insure. The money you spend on the paint job you'll save on insurance in the long run.

Don't get red.

Here's what 10 years of sunlight does to red cars.

this is true. also a nice buffing might help bring some of it back, if it's just oxidized. we used to have this pink **** you sprayed on and buffed it HARD with a foam pad - it worked pretty well... what was it called... hmm...
