In general, driving a shoe gives you one of lowest rates out there. I'm young and I only pay ~$500 per year with full coverage. It costs less to insure my foz over my 'ol '96 Escort ever did, go figure.for example, i have seen it mentioned it is cheaper to own a souped-up forester than it is to own a stock WRX when the fozzie is actually faster and has lower insurance rates.
They base rates on replacement value and risk among other things. My'09 STI was a couple hundred more a year than my '08 XT mostly because of higher value.for example, i have seen it mentioned it is cheaper to own a souped-up forester than it is to own a stock WRX when the fozzie is actually faster and has lower insurance rates.
Yeah I learned that the hard way ! I had an STI for 6 months and never did ask about insurance until I got the bill! Holy Smokes does that thing have a high insurance rating. My insurance guy said all the kids have wrecked STI's,WRX,and EVO's causing those cars insurance rating to go up by huge percentages. Nationwide has a numerical rating with higher the number the higher the insurance. Some examples a Nissan pickup is a 7. Forester is a 14 . STI is a 28. Honda S2000 is a 24. Honda Civic is a 12 or 13 .for example, i have seen it mentioned it is cheaper to own a souped-up forester than it is to own a stock WRX when the fozzie is actually faster and has lower insurance rates.

The Forester is the Insurance Institutes safest rated small suv which makes it have a lower rate than others!
