a small, mid engined, RWD, 2 door car with powerful engine is usually considered a sports car by insurance companies. Where did you get family car from??

Sure it only has 145HP, but its relative. that's 145HP from 1.3L. That makes it a powerful engine. I have a n/a FC 2 seater and my insurance classifies it as a sports car. I'm not sure about the 2+2 though.
For what it's worth I pay $800 a year to keep my baby insured.

My dads insurance company doesn't consider my '86 GXL 2+2 a sports car. lucky me 
there reasoning is, it has seating for more then 2, and less then 150hp. I'm not complaining though I'm not sure what its categorized as though.
BTW, being 16, my car costs me a little over $100 a month, canadian.

Yeah the insurance stuff can get pretty silly at times.
My convertible when it was stock did 0-60 in the high 8 second range. My wife's 93 Maxima SE 5sp goes 0-60 in the very low 7's. Our insurance agent told us if I got rid of MY car our rates would go down 10%. MY car!? It's slower, brakes better, and corners better, yet it's a higher risk?
Those bean counting actuarialists must be drinking some funny coffee :p.

Progressive classified my TII as a plain RX-7. The VIN # does show up on lemoncheck.com on the turbo model.
I'm paying $400/yr with partial full coverage (aka if it's stolen I get money - if I beak it I pay to fix it).
I may up that when I finish the restoration to $9500 worth of coverage just to be safe.

Nice choice with the maxima. My wifes '87 SE 5spd maxima sets right next to My RX-7 in the garage.

USAA conciders the NA's compacts same as hondas and the T2 as a sports car. And Im paying $205/yr for liability, but that will change after a new engine and paint and stereo and turbo and .... and I will let them think its still stock unless they ask to look at the car.

I pay about 900 a year on my 90 TII. Currently it's on plain liability, but I'm upgrading to semi-comprehensive.
It's funny...I pay 100 less a year than my 19 year old brother who drives a 93 Toyota Camry. I also have one more ticket than he does. It's a funny world!

i pay almost $460 a year for comprehensive ($1,000 deductible) for my 90 GTU at Travelers. then again it's a group rate so it's probably cheaper than normal. i believe Prudential, Progressive and Geico all quoted around $750-900 a year.
remember that's with the multi-car discount and my defensive drivers certificate.
