insurance on a type r at 16 is unreal, and my gs-r payments arent cheap either. if you want to get cheaper insurance, get an ls and do ls/vtec, or get a hatchback (hella cheap) and drop in a new engine. being a teen sucks :lol:

A regular 'ol Integra LS would be a fine car to have, as would a Civic Hatchback. Basically same chassis, tho the Integra is somewhat nicer, being the Acura version. Though I'm not sure, a 4 door Integra may be much more insurance-friendly and is just as much fun to drive, tho admittedly is not as cool looking as the hatch. Good luck, kid

i would say your cheapest insurance would be on a civic hatch. hatches are sweet as hell.

Im 17 and i just got my 2000 type r. The insurance agent told me that insurance for me under the type r was too ridiculus to pay. My mom is under the type r and its real cheap.. you should look into that.

I'm 22 and my insurance payments in South FL are almost 370 a month. And to make things worse, I have a spotless driving record, no tix and no accidents. It just so happens the ITR is the number one most stollen import in the state of FL, so it's tough to insure, not to mention it's an expensive little car (24K sticker).

If you can, get your parents to insure it, but chances are, it's worse than your celica. The civic hatch on the other hand is a different story. A 92-95 EG hatch, which is a really easy swap(3 hours in your driveway), is really cheap on insurance, under a hundred bucks a month if I recall correctly...

Either way, good luck,
Aj

Besides insurance look at the other issue. If you get a type R at 16, what do you have to look forward to when you get older.
