I was wondering you could write an ariticle about cheaper to insure cars that we'd actually like to drive or at least want to be seen driving.

It was triple the cost of insuring a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX and way more than I could afford. Lesson learned? Always get an insurance quote before you sign the purchase agreement.

Minivans and compact SUVs are involved in fewer accidents and are less likely to be stolen; hence the lower insurance rates. Americans (incorrectly) associate size with safety. Since we're never taught how to drive, most Americans prefer to have as much sheetmetal around them as possible. Me? I'd rather have a vehicle capable of avoiding an accident, thanks.
