|  Insurance on sports cars Strangely it would cost me £1300 to insure a £23k Honda S2000 yet it is only £830 to insure a £29k 350Z Roadster. The Z is groups 18E where the S2k is group 20. Madness. |

| Re: Insurance on sports cars Yeah, you might find that in the event of an accident the 350Z will be cheaper to repair (either through cost of parts or just that less of the car will be damaged). Might also have better security. Rob.

| Re: Insurance on sports cars Been running a lot of quotes through lately and found Honda's to be quite reasonable to insure (with my SAGA discount). Shockingly, I can insure a fully loaded 2001 750iL BMW (mmm V12 power!) worth 14.5k for half the price of an Impreza/Legacy worth 10k.  Chris

| Re: Insurance on sports cars S2000's are well known for leaving the road backroads due to rwd and a handling setup that is superb in the right hands but can be dangerous for the inexperienced.
