Want a Dodge Viper? It’s an obvious answer, I mean, who wouldn’t want that supercar? It does come with some caveats sadly. Turns out the Dodge Viper is one of the most expensive cars to insure according to Insure.com
The shock must’ve worn off by now. The Dodge Viper, a supercar most well-known for its extreme speed has high insurance rates. The other vehicles that ranked high on the list next to the Viper share what it was made for. It’s Mercedes-Benz, Nissan GT-R, and Porsche. It’s almost like supped-up cars cost more to insure.
On the flip-side, the Honda Odyssey is the least expensive, beating out the 2015 Jeep Wrangler which was the most-frugal previously.
“It’s no surprise that a family vehicle such as a minivan has taken over the top spot,” said Penny Gusner, consumer analyst for Insure. “The Odyssey has a five-star crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is relatively inexpensive to repair, and the driver carting around children tends to be more cautious than the person driving a muscle car.”
In response to the Viper being the highest to ensure, Gusner said, “the Viper is a car you buy because you love to drive fast.”
Truer words have never been spoken. While it sucks that the Viper tops the list, it should be noted that when you look to drive something so powerful, it comes with a price attached.
