I was wondering if a eclipse is considered a sports car on insurance
Yes, any 2 door car is a sports car when it comes to paying insurance
The Mitsubishi Eclipse is indeed considered a sports car. In fact, it was regarded as the eighth top sports car by the US NEWS in 2012.
People call it "sporty" because of huge engine roll and relatively high weight. But insurance companies see it as a sport car.
Sorry, the 300zx is a sports car.
No car is really considered a sports car. ISO determines the rating symbol for most companies.
Yes, it does. Your insurance can be 2 times higher vs Toyota Camry or Honda accord.
no. it is a luxery car. a coupe. a coupe means 2 door.
You will have to expect to pay more for car insurance for a sports car than a sedan. In California it is around the average for a sports car.
It is defintely considered a sports car! Actually it's a "sports coupe". The term sports car is in the eye of the manufacturer. There are no direct qualifiers.
"I believe that a sports car is a car that has only two doors, a very fast engine, premium leather and Bose or better sound system, and a car that raises your insurance bill." Well, not exactly. A sports car, for insurance purposes, has to meet certain requirements that are often industry standards, but may vary between insurance carriers. Make, model, engine, horsepower, usage statistics, etc. are all factors that determine what constitutes a sports car. Most often, sports cars are two door vehicles with powerful engines. Cars like Mistubishi Lancer Evo, on the other hand, is a four door and is still considered a sports car by most insurance companies. Also, sound system has nothing to do with a car being a "sports car."
Every insurance company maintains its own set of underwriting guidelines. These define the metes and bounds of the risks that they will insure and under what terms. Sports car status is one of them as to auto insurance. Therefore, it is not possible to answer the question in more specific terms as to car like this. You should contact licensed insurance agents to determine the insurers that they represent and the underwriting guidelines of them. I can say without hesitation that the Chevy Cobalt is no Sports Car, not even close and no insurance company would consider it one. It does not even come close to the definition of a Sports Car. However only an insurance company can tell you what the insurance costs will be for this car.
no such thing. the 3g eclipse will never be a performance sports car....
