172cup more insurance than 172!

[Dansta]

just sorted my insurance out and the cup was £40 more than a 172.

£830. not bad i spose.

Lack of ABS and side airbags might have something to do with it.

Of maybe its because the Cup doesnt look like a 1.2 to the untrained eye



Proberbly because of all the claims people are making on Cups!

Youre quite possibly correct.

Its totally random, when I was getting quotes from Tescos, the premiums would differ week to week even with the identical details.

my insurance company said the cup was a 17 and the 172 was a 16, but everyone else tells me that I am wrong when I say that.

lol.

funny thing is i just put in my number plate. i was just about to purchase my insurance and saw it said 172.sport.2.0 and i couldnt see the word cup. didnt know whether they just didnt have it, so i went and manually entered the details and the cup was there.... + £30-40

Most companys said mine was a 172 from the plate no.

Airbags are gay. You should have an option to switch them all off. As soon as the car has a small bump youve got pointless bloody airbags going off all over the place and they cost an arm and a leg to replace and reset. I have no doubt that the introduction of all round airbags has resulted in an increase in the average claim cost.

when i work out insurance quotes, i found that the Cup was about £30 cheaper than the 172.

i wasnt complaining

Airbags do not deploy if the car has a "small" bump!!
