How do the insurance companies classify the Mini? Sports car? Compact? Family Sedan?

 

My insurance agent stated it would be the same as insuring a Honda Accord.

 

I just traded in my a 2001 Toyota Rav 4 and the insurance went up $5 every 6 months. Hope this helps.

With my insurance, I was told it will actually be $10 cheaper per year than insuring my 95 Mustang now. So, it must not be classified as a sports car. I was expecting to have to pay a bundle more than I do now and I have a spotless record. It was a very pleasant surprise!

 

cost me 12 bucks more for 6 months than a nissan pathfinder

 

I assume the reg Cooper would be very cheap to insure. The S, however, has to be more and MAY be classified as a sports car, no?

 

My insurance will not change for what I was paying for my 95 325i. But, I wrecked my 325i, so in 5 months (when my policy is renewed for another six months) my insurance will likely skyrocket!

 

Neither cooper will be a "Sports Car", (even though they are ). They should be classified as sub-compacts, much like the VW bug, or the Golf. Not too expensive to insure...

 

Hey guys and gals my two cents worth
I currently drive a 2002 VW golf 2dr and am trading it in when my new cooper hits the US shores my insurance will go up 15$ every six months not bad

 

Well i hope it's true what y'all say cause i live up in vancouver b.c Canada and insurance sucks here, i was really worried how much it would cost to insure but if it's going to be the same as a golf that would be sweet

i'll keep my fingers crossed

cheers
