My boyfriend and I were talking and he said that if I were to get a subaru impreza 2.5 my insurance would be higher b/c it's technically a sports car. Is that true?

[lakbum25]

Just wondering, what car do you have insured right now? There's a good chance it will go up but I actually wonder if they consider a 4 door car a sports car.

If you were thinking about getting it, just call up some insurance companies and get a quote. That's the easiest way to determine whether it will be more or not.

i dont think it would really that high. The 2.5 is not a turbocharged car like the WRX/STi, so im guessing the insurance would be cheaper than those cars, and not sure if u would call a 2.5 a sports car.

why would they not consider a sports car if it has 4 doors? the rx-8 technically has 4 doors, but you'd prolly classify that as a sports car. doing that to the 2.5 RS would also mean evo drivers would have this problem too, right? o.O

Right now I have a 2000 Toyota Echo

[sleepy Tiger]

It's considered a sporty sedan, not a pure sports car.

[Brian T]

Its a sedan, it has all of like 160hp, and it's AWD. Sounds pretty damn unsporty to me. Might as well start calling Civics sport cars.

[lakbum25]

As others have already commented, I would consider it a sporty sedan, not a sports car. I mean, even with my G35 ,which has only two doors, I wouldn't consider it a "sports car." I guess my definition of a sports car is a two door, two passenger car with performance as the top priority in its design and construction.

As for owning the Echo, your insurance will most likely go up.

Well aside from the debate on what is a true sports car or not, insurance companies might classify it as a sports car... but like Brian said, I'm not too sure 2.5 fits in that sports category at all. It doesn't have any real characteristics of a sports car.

If they have a bad record of drivers with the 2.5s your insurance might go up. From a Toyota Echo, I would say almost any car you get to replace it would have higher insurance rates.

its not that bad if you are talking about the 2.5RS coupe. my 3rd pt insurance per month is a lil over 100 with 1 ticket @ age of 19 -_____-, but i m going to get the full coverage soon

just get a quote from an insurance site or from your agent

2.5 is NOT a sports car. if a broker tells you it is, he/she is full of it; that car is a sedan, designed to be economical, efficient and practical.

sports cars are the opposite.
-economy? what's that mean?
-efficient? yah...right..
-practical? as if..


whether or not your premiums go up, will likely depend on your driving record; and i don't know what you're currently driving. just call around and get some quotes.

Are you talking about the 2006 models? If so, both the regular RS and turbo models are 2.5L engines.

So it really depends which model you're talking about, the turboed or non-turboed. I honestly don't know what insurance classifies the RS model at, but since I have a Wrx, insurance classifies it as a "sports car". It's pretty ghey if you ask me

I'm 25, have no tickets, accidents, or violations, I get quoted for roughly $2800 per 6 months for full coverage:

Liability 250k/500k
Property Damage 100k
500 Deductible comprehensive/collision

To keep my premiums lower, they insured me under my mom's car and her under my car. My insurance is still high though $1100 per 6 months (State Farm)

[Orijinalx]

^ i thought when you hit like 23 or something like that your insurance drops a lot. My cousin said his dropped a lot, so thats why he got a s2k after his prelude got totaled.

[OMGHIyori2U]

that's what I thought as well. When I got quoted with Metlife, I asked them how much it would be if I was age 26 (which would be in about 2 months). The agent said it dropped the price by like $40 lol

Wow...I wonder if you could get a better quote elsewhere...cause that's a lot, even under your mom. I'm paying $900 per 6 months, but I've had two tickets and this is with a G35. I'm 24 right now so I don't get the discount you get at 25. Originally, Progressive had quoted me for like $1300 per 6 months, so I called around.
