Least Expensive Cars to Insure for 2012
Insurance has been on the rise in recent years. Different vehicles, even those in the same class, can have vastly different rates.
Insure.com just came out with their annual list of least expensive cars to insure. Check out the list below, and consider adding some of these vehicles to your consideration list.
While we're on the subject of insurance, it's smart to comparison shop your current rates at least once per year. If you haven't done so for several years, it's very possible to save several hundred dollars per year simply by switching.
