Insurance Institute Ratings
This is gonna cost us a bunch of bucks. The new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (aka safety Nazis) now has the WRX as about the worst car in terms of collision AND especially theft losses. See the full list at:
Insurance Institute Ratings This is bound to make the insurance companies raise their rates on WRX vehicles. Not going to be fun at all. |

No, I'm NOT blaming the insurance companies for the miserable theft and collision data. The theft data is because the car is so desireable - and cheap enough to be left outside by many owners. The collision rate is due to bad driving. As a pilot I had to get additional training for high performance planes - car licenses ought to also be limited to vehicles one is qualified to drive.
Luckily State Farm, who I use, rates the wagon and sedan differently. The loss rates for the wagon are much lower. Smaller insurance companies use IIHS data. |
