Why insurance costs what it does

IBC hasn't published claims for the 2006 yet, so this uses what insurers paid out on the 2006 model, compared with a typical car. Bars to the right mean higher claims, which push the price up.

How the grade is worked out

We estimate what a typical driver with full coverage would pay for this model in Ontario, then rank it against every other 2006 model. The car-specific part of the premium follows what insurers have paid out on this model (the bars above). A is cheaper to insure than at least 80% of them. It compares cars, not drivers: your own quote depends mostly on your age, record and address.

About these ratings

Stars measure how well the cabin protects people in a lab crash, not how often the car crashes. They're for the U.S. version (2 DR, RWD/AWD) of the same model year, usually the same car as in Canada. IIHS awards can depend on headlights or trim. How this works
