Evo is not on the list. Suprised??

"Your own perfect driving record won't necessarily help you avoid those charges. The Journal explains, "Even if you have a spotless record of safe, accident-free driving in a Subaru WRX, you are also paying for the damage racked up by the other WRX drivers who aren't as careful as you are with this high-performance, turbo-charged machine."



That may ultimately be the problem with the WRX - it's not the car, it's the people who drive it. After all, Edmunds Straightline notes, the WRX offers a lot of horsepower for a low price. "Build a performance car and price it low enough for younger drivers to afford, and then, the insurance companies step into to ruin the fun," they comment."

 

My friends with their STi's are paying around 2800-3000$/yr for their insurance. With the same coverage, i'm paying just under $2000! My Evo is even cheaper than my old RSX to insure.

 

I pay 900 a year... ahhh to be 31

 

its funny I thought my insurance was bad bout $2000 a year as well, turns out we beat subbies at another thing lol j/k always thought the evo was one of the top expensive cars to ensure just because of what it is

 

When I read this earlier, I was stunned to see the evo didn't even make the top 10 cut.

Good for us though! Stay away from the WRXs on the street

 

I saw this earlier today, I chuckled the Evo wasn't even on the top 10 list

 

WHAT!!! when i first got my evo i paid 3800$ a year for it. every other car i looked into was half the price

 

That's because us Evo guys love our cars and would never put them in any danger of getting wrecked. Most of us are older too. You can buy used WRX's for under 10g's these days. It is surprising though. My insurance is cheaper now that I have a brand new Xterra and the evo then it was when I had a 98 LS integra and a 2001 Prelude.

 

WOW!! i am very surprised that our insurance is low. i pay 1500 yr but thats for 2 cars. that makes me happy to know that. i will be staying away from the subies then. good thread!!

 

My wife and I pay almost the same for our cars. Her STi is actually just a shade less than my car is. I think she is listed as driving less than 7500 miles a year though because she lives so close to her work.

 

Well, now I'm kind of glad I did'nt pull the trigger on the WRX I almost pulled the trigger on without checking insurance rates first. I ended up getting a genesis coupe and only pay about $875/year for a turbo-charged sport coupe that most people don't even know is out yet, let alone what it is. Its hard to believe the tiburon is number 3 on the list, seems like the mustang would be on there instead. I bet its only a matter of time before the camaro joins the list also...

 

i pay 130 a month not bad but i also have an evo and pay 79 a month hahaha

 

that's pretty good...

whats your Coverage? Also what insurance company.. if you don't mind me asking?

 

All it took was following a link in that article to see they didn't test the Evo (also this was for 05-07 vehicles), so I wouldn't start the circle-jerk just yet.

FWIW, when I bought my Evo I was considering an 09 WRX and did get a quote for both. The WRX was cheaper by about 15%.

 

Truthfully, I would never compare the evo to a wrx, more like evo and sti, and wrx to ralliart now
