but by comaprison im 25 (well will b in a coupla months )good record and living in a low crime area etc and the premium suprised me at being $1300 and i checked for a laugh how much it would b to insure a wrx and it was over 3 grand
what makes this even more bizare is my last car was only worth half of this one and cost me just a little less than the quote on the S to insure, im young so im used 2 being ripped off on insurance, but this seems just a little 2 good 2 b true from my stand point

im still sure this must be a mistake

I think your right. $1300 for cooper S and $3000 for a WRX is simply not right. Your in WRX territory insurance wise for a Cooper S. In queensland at least, and at the time of writing. This may change when underwriters here get a better handle on things.
