For example, the Subaru Inpreza WRX has the highest insurance rate of any vehicle in its class. The reason is not that it is an expensive car to repair or replace, but the fact that it is most often driven by young males who have accidents at a high rate.
Unfortunately, even older drivers and women who buy auto insurance for this vehicle will suffer from high rates due to the misfortunes and inexperience of young male drivers.
