i also checked out the infiniti g20 and that was really cheap too. it will be in the same price range as the sentra SE-R spec v.

insurance companies use whats called an ISO symbol to rate your car. wich means an outside companie does the ratings, and insurance companies pay them to use the ratings. the four things they look at are the liability rating, comprehensive rating, collision rating, and injury rating. liability rating = how much damage it will do to another car if it hits it, usually based on wieght/construction/size, this is the reason SUV's are high on insurance. Comp rating = how often the car is stolen, which is the reason honda's are so high. coll rating = how expensive is it to fix the car. injury rating = how safe is your car for the occupants.
in my experience, saturns are the cheapest. they dont do alot of damage to other cars, they are not stolen often, they are cheap to fix, and they do well in crash tests.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

I was paying $113 a month at the age of 18 for a 1994 Mitsubishi Mirage and had a clean record. If your paying $88.00 it must be under your mom or dads insurance policy. I pay $207 on my Eclipse and that covers everything... full coverage, any modifications to the car, etc and I'm 21 and have Progressive. So I don't know about an 2003 Evo owner paying $88.00 for Full Coverage at the age of 21. Either you went to one of those mom and pops insurance shacks that aren't well know, or the car is actually under your parents name and under their insurance policy.
I've never heard of insurance going down $1000 when you turn 21 usually the age is 25 and I don't think it would be $1000.
I work for a insurance company I know how it works.
