Insurance quote and thoughts on Honda Accord Typer R's

Just got a quote on a 2.2 honda accord type r of 2300, this would be for being 19 with 1 NCB in a cat D area and parked on the street, didnt think this was too bad considering I am paying 2000 now on a 1.4 corsa.
So what are the thoughts on Honda accord type r's, would be around a 2000-2001 model?

Edit-mods change title to insurance quote and thoughts on accord type r please.

OMG, i got a quote on a Honda Civic Type R for £3,850 im 20yrs old, with 1 NCB and full license that was for an 03 plate so i think i'll wait until im 25 lol, accords are really smart imo

Civic quote was probably more as they are seen as more boyracerish (new word ) cars.

Good point, so i will wait until im a bit older (loving the new word :laugh

lol civic type-r insurance quote is 3900 for me lol, lucky I perfer the Accords.

Yea they are quite smart I think.

Accords are nice and the reason the Civic is so much more expensive is cos the Accord is the Civic's baby brother, and is also a "Civic wannabe for those who cant afford Civic's"

So this would affect the insurance in what way
So I cant afford a civic, thats why I would rather buy an accord

 

[Sneydster]

would mean that the Civic is a slightly higher class of car being the "better bigger brother" of the two and is therefore slightly more atteractive to thieves, slightly more powerful etc etc so therefore will be seen by a different light by insurance companies etc

 

[Tim]

ok I understand what you mean now, just came accross in a different way.
Well think I can live with my car being slightly less attractive to thieves, so thats another positive to buying the atr
However the atr is more powerful, even when it comes to bhp/weight figures
ATR 212ps or 209bhp over 1305kg = 162.5ps per ton or 160bhp per ton
CTR 200ps or 197bhp over 1240Kg = 161.3ps per ton or 158.8bhp per ton.
However the vtr is meant to be better in the twisties, however for a 18/19 year old I dont think its a bad 3rd car. However have you gone any other suggestions for same price range, as I do want to keep options open for a bit longer.

"Civic wannabe for those who cant afford Civic's"

:laugh: have you read what you put its like me saying Clios are for people who cant afford a clio

 

[Sneydster]

sos, probably could have explained myself a lil bit better perhaps. just the way things are, insurance are weird companies.

tbh i wouldnt know of any other cars in the price range, but honda's are good engines and overall build quality arent that bad, apart from the new civic, theyre not so good, my mates one keeps falling to bits lol :laugh:

 

[Sneydster]

Nath read it again lol, its a car thts slightly below the civic, for those that cant afford the civic, and bridges the gap between those that cant afford a civic but still want decent power etc

Thing is ctr's do seem to have quite a boyracer look and do have a particular image for the people that drive them.
