Holy fuck that's a lot.
Full coverage for my M3 was only $2000.

No wonder why you all ride public transport over there.
yeah its ridic

that was a while ago though, they "only" want me to pay £4,000 a year to drive me own car if I buy the M5 I want

I had an '08 Impreza STi but ditched it for an Evo IX. Much betting looking IMO, quicker and sounded better. I'd take the Evo any day with a better drive, but granted the new hatchback style of the STi is poo, but the Evo X is poo also.

@Dauntless, it depends on your circumstances with insurance obviously. I pay just over £4,000 insurance for an Audi A4, VW Golf and an E92 M3. That works out way cheaper than just the Evo IX I had, which was 5 grand to insure. Use a relative's address if possible, or say you're married to your mother which should half your insurance lol. Just don't crash.

Yeah, I remember way back there was some "first car" thread and I told the kid to get an early 90's accord...

He responded back saying insurance would be way too much for that car, lol. Like there is any reason for a 13 year old car should have high enough insurance to cover writing the thing off completely every two years.

These are the best looking, imo. The one you look, Macbeth looks like something out of Fast and the Furious. I personally like the newer hatchbacks, though. I didn't like them until I saw one at the Vienna Auto Show in 2008 and then my opinion changed.

yeah, a little while after i first passed my test, my dad looked at geting me insured on his golf GTI, me being a named driver would have pushed up the premium by £8000! I always drive sensible, so it fucks me off that cos of most of my age group driving like twats, we all get bumped

To some degree you want it to look decent enough...  I mean, I am glad my car doesn't look like a Pontiac Aztec...

But I have always said, its not like you can see the damn thing while your driving anyways.

Oh Holy fuck...someone starts a car thread and you ALWAYS get a jackass American exclaiming how anything from Japan is a ricer/import/inferior-to-yank-metal. Fuck it pisses me off. Why do you think people import? It's because the majority of American sports cars are SHIT

My favorite is probably the 95' STI that McRae won the WRC World Title in.

The third gen reminds me of a mix between a Seat Leon and an Audi A3, and maybe a hint of the new Vauxhall/Opel Astra. All three of which I really quite like in the looks department.

Saying that, it's supposed to be a bloody Impreza. It should not look like that regardless. They've ruined it.

Your a fucking idiot.

Not only do I drive a nissan, notice how I say they are awesome drivers cars.

Owning an import is not the same as being a wanna be import kid, rinse that sand out of your vagina.

Sorry for tarring you with the same brush as every other American 'petrolhead'.

It's just whenever a car thread gets started there's always an American who decides to say 'hurrdurr ricers are crap'

Oh. btw, you're*

How's that possible? I can get insurance for 6k on any group 20 car, and I'm only 21. And that's if I put that I got my license a month before (I don't have my license yet).

where you live is also taken in to consideration. dunno if it has that much of an effect though

Not much, apparently the main reason insurance is so high when your young is because they're shit scared that you're going to kill someone and they've gotta pay out a million quid. Hence why there isn't *that* much difference in insurance cost between a Focus and a Ferrari; they're sure you're a killing machine no matter what vehicle you're in.

I think STIs are beautiful, but I hate the newer version you posted. It's not the same car, name it something else, it looks completely different.

Here's some of my favorites, but this is just first page Google stuff.
