Insurance Group 14....

[fenton_jd]

For the 2.5 turbo 217bhp New mondeo :chin:

A massive car that hits 60 in 7.3 seconds, onto a top speed of 152mph.

Doesnt that grouping seem a little low?

Original Punto GT is in the same group!

 

[Helz]

Yes for its speed, but no for its theft potential and no self respecting chav would be seen dead in one or be able to afford the buy one so :shrug: Not that insurers seem to pay much attention to these groups anyway.

I'm just waiting for a new ST TDCi

Remapped bravo 150 @ 200bhp is group 10 .

realy fast stuff that is a large saloon (rep type car) is quite cheap to insure..

ive lost count of the amount of times ive gone on stuff like confused.com to get quotes on our cars at work...

considering i pay £850 on the stilo

vectra 3.0cdti sri - £1052
mondeo ghia x 2.0tdci - £894
saab 9-3 1.9tid vector (or whatever lol) - £1100

to say these groupings are like 3-7ish groups higher

then i did one for a cooper/swift sport (dont ask)...... £1400 and £1650

I wouldn't call a mondeo, vectra or a saab 'really fast'. The 3.0 CDTI is a heap of s***. Despite its huge size and big turbo its not very powerful and heavy on the dino sludge.

Really fast would be stuff such as a Lancer Evo's, Subaru WRX's, BMW 335, 540 etc, Top end Audi's & Mercs. Most of them are group 17-20 I managed to get a quote on a lancer evo 8 MR 340 for £1600 bargain lol.

 

[Hellcat]

I got a quote for a Testarossa for £1500

Lancia Thema with the Ferrari 32valver about £900 :slayer:

yes if it was a focus, and defo if it was a fiesta, but for a saloon like the mondeo grp14 is what i would expect.

i know it is.... but its still rather fast for the price quoted

it is lowered on decent springs and remapped

 

[Big Black Stilo]

I wierdly noticed when getting quotes that moving from a 1.2 stilo (group 4) to a stilo sporting 150 jtd only went up by £60 a year. same with the focus TDCI.

Whe i was buying my 1.2 stilo 5 years ago, it was more to insure than an s plate merc c240 sport.
