This means an insurance policy for your off - roading
sports car will be sky - high, but coverage for a hard - top, four -
door Jeep will be much

sports car, you may find that the savings on premiums is enough to keep you happy with a

door vehicles are considered
sports cars, and
sports cars are statistically
more likely to be involved in serious accidents.
Any
car with only 2 passenger
doors is considered a
sports car, and that means higher rates, while a factory installed theft prevention system can earn you even
more savings.
