Default Does it make a difference having owned performance car before

When looking for insurance does it make a difference if you have previously owned a high performance car ?

I previously owned a Toyota Mr2. When I was looking for insurance for my new MY04 WRX, quite a few companies asked what my previous car was.

Should your premium go down in the second year considering you have owned a high performance car, hopefully, without any claims ?

Yes, I have been asked about this when asking for a quote through a broker, it helps their case when persuading the underwriter if they think you'll be an acceptable risk.

With most performance specialist companies then yes, but others no.
