Would it make you mad that to insure my turbo Miata was roughly $60 USD a month?

I am confused with this statement. So you could not afford insurance so you took the funds that could have been used for insurance, and bought another car? Which will probably be around the same amount for insurance? I would think a 92 Miata could be insured for $55-$70 a month. So the insurance is cheaper on an Ibiza? My 05 WRX is only $70 a month with full coverage insurance. Please some one clear up the confusion.Sold. Just can't find the funds to insure it, ended up buying an Ibiza which I might end up making a thread about, but then again, I'm lazy

I think it has to do with living in the UK and the high costs of a 2 door convertible over there insurance wise.I am confused with this statement.

Now I'm going to brag about how I pay less than $200 per year for my car
Then again, I only got the compulsory insurance (A full cover probably wouldn't give me what my car is worth in parts)

^ That, I suspect. If you can't afford to insure the MX-5, then selling it, spending those funds on a cheaper-to-insure car and insuring that instead is the only real solution.I think it has to do with living in the UK and the high costs of a 2 door convertible over there insurance wise.

It's not unusual for new drivers to pay £2000 a year for insurance even on a regular hatchback. I'm not sure how new to driving Frisky is, but an MX-5 could well be more than that. And I suspect Doncaster is a relatively high-risk area in the eyes of insurers.
By the time you're my age it's not so bad. I pay £300 a year for my Eunos and a bit less for the Insight.
