^^^It's the long term costs...
that Tiare and Luktang are talking about...Insurance rates don't go up and down like our dang gas prices...but follow trends...if a particular car is found to be owned by a certain demographic group IE: young, single males aged 25-45...or whatever...and they happen to get into more accidents...if you fall within that grouping...your insurance rates could possibly go up...depending on your carrier...regardless, it doesn't look good upon the suby community here in Hawaii...

i may be seriously losing it... but how exactly do you guys get the idea that - because of a couple of accidents(by other drivers) our rates will go up?
if i am not mistaken rates only increase when you have points on your drivers license/or made a moving claim during your policy..and at which the rates do not go up until renewal. the only other way for rates to increase is when the state allows a rate increase. in which all insurance companies usually raise their premiums.
the fact that www.iihs.org (the agency by which all insurance companies use as their bible) rates the impreza very high in safety and cost of replacement for parts(meaning cheap to repair)
maybe i am missing something?

I had 1 and my 1st speeding ticket 15MPH but with my old car, not my STi.
Called Geico insurance, rep told me that the STi has been re-evaluated because of accidents for past year! not because of my driving, ie my policy rates changed just because of F@%W#K STUPID drivers

<vent>Same here~! I personally talked to the AIG rep and she told me they re-evaluate our cars and came up with the higher rates. Norris and I are not pulling these things out of our asses. Sheesh... if anyone should be losing it, it should be me! </vent>
