henri the 9th

currently with norwich union direct. Rang a couple of days ago to get a quote on a subaru impreza turbo, because of my age (23) they told me because i have been with them for 3 years now ( 3 years no claims )they will consider insuring me on this car, but it has to be a uk spec 2.0 turbo only, non of this wrx b--#oks. why is this can anyone tell me ? Anyway in the end they came up with a quote for £1440. Also rang Tesco the same day and there quote was £1130. Are insurance companies funny about insuring imports or do they just stereo-type me as a young 23 year old hooligan thug.

Imports are usually more difficult/expensive to insure than the UK equivalents.
