About 10 years ago at the family supper table, I made a comment to my accident-prone brother that it was people like him that caused insurance rates to be so high. He said he didn't know what I was talking about, and my father started laughing. Apparently my father's insurance company almost dropped him because my brother still lived at home and deemed a risk.

Go for it if you know what you're getting yourself into. Kudos on "not being the civic type"

Insurance is bad for me at all. Another reason I couldn't really go with the Z or S2k.

I bet an Si would be significantly more to insure, since young drivers are much more likely to own them.
I also checked on insurance for an S2000. Crazy money to insure that car.
Most RX-8s are sold with stability control (definitely get one with it) and it's inherently a very balanced car. There's no other car I feel more confident driving down an unfamiliar curvy road. This probably results in low accident rates as sports cars go, and thus relatively cheap insurance.

I'm actually looking at a Z right now and the insurance quote I got was about $60 more for 6 months than I pay on my 8, full coverage, so it was actually a lot less than I thought.

Went back to the dealear today to check out a Mazdaspeed 6, and I met with the same salesman I did this past saturday. He took me out in the RX8 again.... 
Backroads FOR THE WIN! I love it even more now. We went back on the highway too and I got a thumbs up from a motorcyclist, god I love this car. The check comes next week so hopefully it's gonna happen, wish me luck.
