If you just want daily driving, I would pick something Japanese made, while has an extremely low insurance cost and good on fuel.

I would try Civic Hybrid, or Toyota Hybrid. You don't have to do emission whatsoever, great on fuel, and should be cheap on insurance.

for 6-8k? that would be the cost of the premium you are paying over their gas-powered brothers.. not the entire car..

You will have to find out that on your own by calling varies companies - as driving distance, location of residence, age, car type, driving record ... etc will all get factored into the final number.

I don't know, you have the time to type here but it would be even faster for you to get an answer by calling 1 or 2 companies and within minutes, you will have a hard figure in front of you instead of people saying "I think, Prelude is cheaper than Civic."

I hope I didn't come off the wrong way, but things like this, you can't get the answer unless you call yourself. When is the last time you heard someone got a quote on internet forum from a stranger without presenting the facts?

Online site takes longer than a phone call, that's my experience.

You can try to call Belair, ING, State Farm, PC Insurance, and many others.

Good luck.

I think it really matters what insurance company, I asked mine about colour, they said it didnt' matter...the biggest factor was what car it was...

the only good way to get a good reading of what insurance will costs is to call your insurance company (or competitors)

What companies actually do have different rates for different colors??? I talked to a few and all of them said color makes no difference on the rate.
