maybe you were overpaying on your previous car or did you pass the 25 year old mark?

LOL - no, sadly, I was already past 25 when I bought the previous one. It was a last gen Miata. We just figured that the Z had more safety features or someting.

Wow, that's a Who's Who list of the cars I was looking at before I bought the Z. Take off the SRT4 and put on an RX-8, and that'll cover it.

Weird my full coverage with state farm on my 2000 jeep wrangler was more a month than my 03 Z. I pay about 100 a month right now for full coverage. The jeep was about 150 for full coverage. Oh yeah im only 26 with a clean record.

I don't really understand how the RSX is ranked so high? (not even talking about the fact that it's ranked above the Z)

FYI----moving from an 04 #6 (Is300) to an 06 #9 (350Z) you will save $25/month with Progressive

One car that is not on there that has been NOTORIOUS for insurance payments for me is a mustang GT/Cobra---it was twice as much as the Corvette and my vette was almost 20k more on sticker!!!
