Top 10 Best and Worst Cars to Insure

The list is based on a combination of total cost to repair and the amount owners claimed for non-crash related damage.

Why is this list important? Because insurance can make up a major portion of the overall cost of a vehicle and insurance companies will charge more for cars that have higher loss-rates.

Take the Subaru Impreza WRX for example. It was rated the worst car to insure for model years 2005-2007. The Wall Street Journal found that it costs nearly $600 more to insure per year than a comparable model.

On the flip side, if you buy a Buick Rendezvous (the best car to insure), you're going to pay a lot less for insurance than a comparable model.

If you really want to save money, take this list into consideration before you decide which car to buy.
