Insurance rates: EX higher than LX?

is the EX considered sportier than LX, thus making insurance premiums higher? i ask because my g/f is considering gettin an 03 or 04 and we're considering every price factor.



btw...i love the 04 rears....

My insurance company told me that they classify the EX as a sports car becuase it has 10 more HP?! It drives me nuts because I pay for a sports car and I don't have one!

I see no reason it would be more expensive. I'd say less if anything. The EX has ABS.

Those insurance *******s that make up this shyte are a bunch of goobers. I swear, i wish I could have my way with the person that decides that stuff for 10 minutes. I beat him to death. They friggin **** me off. Who the hell says a Honda Civic with a whopping 127 hp and its heavy 2600 lbs body is considered a "sports coupe"??? Are they seriously out of their minds? Thats getting away with enforcing such a rule is like getting away with murder. F#CK!!

I finally got a break on my insurance. I switched companies, met the guy and he cut me all kinds of deals. I graduated college over a year ago and he stated that I still get a student honor discount. Then we BS'd for a while about hockey (he used to be in the NHL), I played in college = another break in my insurance. I used to pay over 2k, with this new guy I'm paying a little over 1k for the year. I have complete coverage and all. I finally lucked out somewhere.

It all depends on your insurance company.....depending on the state and company you may pay more because the car costs more, or you may pay less because it has ABS and optional side airbags. Perhaps you should call insurance companies and get whats called a rate quote.

It's robbery, plain & simple. They know it isn't a sports car but they can rationalize it somehow so they call it one. I have Commerce and they also take $300 a month.

But then you don't get the moonroof, the Si wheels, the 6 spkr surround, the body color mirrors, the extra Hp... The insurance companies just need to get a clue. I'd like to take my aent for a drive in my civic and then dare him to tell me it's a sports car.

Don't do it. He'll probably go and sue you for whiplash. "The plaintiff push the accelerator until the vehicle achieved wide open throttle at which point my head jerked back and I have been expierencing paints ever since, your honor."
