I was 21 when I got my Mx-3. With a clean record, my G license, driving school discount and family discount, I was paying $216/month when I first got her.

When I turned 23, she dropped down to $150-something/month with the same conditions as above. Last year, she dropped a few bucks down to $147/month. I just turned 25 in February, I can't wait to see how much my insurance will be now

Although I live and work in Mississauga, i still technically live with my parents, so I still get the family discount

Oh, and none of my modifications are insured.

I PAY WAY TOO MUCH ITS A AJOKE!!
my first car was a 95 ford escort LX when i was 17 with drivers ed, i was paying about 220 a month.

i paid more for insurance because it was 2 doore instead of a 4 door
cuz u know that makes it more likely 'm gonna get into an accident

I pay now almost the same amount on the 92 GS as I pay for my 02 Protege - a little under$1,000 each per year. That's with over 20% discount and having over 20 years accident free. Time for you to get the phone book out and start getting some quotes before you finally decide - you may change your mind.

There should be a law that regulates insurance companies. $220 a month for car insurance? Even with inflation.. thats rediculous.. $2600 a year for insurance is just retarded. You could buy another car with your insurance payments. Serious.. how bad is the penalty for getting caught without insurance up there? I mean if its just a $400-$600 ticket.. hell.. stuff $200 a month into a high yield savings account a month and just risk the ticket. Keep money saved just incase you do have an accident of course.. but man.. someone in canada needs to find a way to stick it back to the insurance companies. Granted I am in the states.. but I pay less than $650 a year for insurance on 3 cars!! And I am single, 38, no tickets or accidents.

the problem is that insurance companies say males under the age of 25 as "high risk" so this is how they get away with it.

Yeah but even John is paying out the nose for insurance even at 51. almost 2k a year for 2 cars? Granted he is probably running full coverage on both... But still.. at that price in 4 years he could buy both of his cars again for what he has spent on insurance.

We should all invent a time machine.. go back in time and find the person who invented insurance and cut his tongue out and hack his hands off before he can communicate the idea. Gruesome I admit.. but I dont think killing is ever a true resort unless its someone driving a minivan.. but thats another story

I just got my form to renew my insurance and it's under $800.

Yeah I know ... I'm a girl

They should charge girls under 25 the same ......... there are alot of aggressive women out there behind the wheel.

You want bad, my friend has a Festiva and was paying $275/month for insurance on it. He hook it off the road last year cause he has a company car and was getting married, he hasn't put it on the road since, but will pending on job. From what I've heard his insurance should drop cause he's married. He's currently 24yrs old with only one speeding ticket

ahahah u mean bad!!!!! just a general statement all the girls i've driven with are absolutely horrible. going up a one way street, sideswiping speeding geeeze. the only reason they get out of tickets making them look like bad drivers are unzippin the shirt for the officers ahha
