VXR D insurance group

[jaybelfast]

Hey all, just been on another website and the question was raised if anyone knew what insurance group the vxr corsa is gona be? Does anyone on here know?

[Arden_One]

Place your bets - I say 13.

[doug_sri]

clio 197 is 15 so i will say the same as that

[jaybelfast]

any other takers? lol cheers :D

[AlexFi]

I'll go with Doug as that makes sense, plus the Astra is 17 I think so would be surprised if it was higher or the same.

[BO55 VXR]

I'll stake a bet on 14 then

[starkie]

I reckon 16..

But i hope for lower! 8)

[vxrdave]

I would go for 15.

[Adski]

I agree with dave, 15.

[Arden_One]

What is the god damn group anyway, stats are out now so we should know...

[jaybelfast]

I've been told quite a few, but the latest was 12!!! not sure if I should believe that but for now thats the latest.

[Arden_One]

So I could win this then?

[the vxr mothership]

I'd bet 16

Stu

[BO55 VXR]

Stu

Insider dealing....

[Dougie]

[jaybelfast]

Ok question for you all... how does this Insurance Group work? Just so as that i can briefly understand. I always hear them talking about it on Top Gear and never get it lol. Obviously I'm in Australia... and it works totally different here. You start on Rating 6, if you dont have an accident you end up on Rating 1. All that happens if you buy a turbo... or a VXR for example, is they put like an extra premium on it. Perfect example... quote for me (21yo) for a 2006 Peugot 206 GTi 180 was $1000. If I went for an Astra SRi (very similar power to weight, yet a turbo) $1600 and a lower rating!! How do you guys compare? I know it's a subtopic, but yeah...

Thank you! 8)

What the Astra VXR Insurance group?

[jaybelfast]

vxr astra is group 17
vxr meriva is group 12e

[pabvxr]

So why does the Corsa come out at 16 when the Meriva VXR is 12?
This will certainly put some people off - especially when you can get the flying Astra VXR for group 17
Certainly think that at group 16 - the insurance companies are taking the pee !
Especially when Clio is 197 bhp and group 15
This may be Vauxhalls loss- it is up to them to make sure that the car comes out with a low insurance rating - so why the jump between Meriva and Corsa?

the insurance is based on the power, speed, stealability, price, how much it would cost to repair (probably the main thing). many things really.

for example, a good group 2 insurance car is a ford ka, seat arosa (cheapish to buy, maintain and repair. not overly desired by theives)

and family saloon comes in somewhere between group 8 and 13

the astra vxr is a 17e

and then ferraris, TVRs etc etc... come in a different stages of the group 20.

it has nothing to do with the driver, although, experienced, older drivers who live in the middle of nowhere will get a lower premium on a group 20 car than say a 21 year old living in central london with 6 points on their license.

the insurance group of the corsa wont be decided by vauxhall. it will be decided by the insurance companies

[starkie]

Just spoke to my Insurance company.. And they said they cant get any information on the VXR Untill 2 weeks before release date!

[Lambo]

You dont need to be insured on it til you've got the car anyway, so whats all the fuss about?? :lol:

[VXRich]

getting the car and then realising the insurance is more than the car payment/half your paypacket etc...

you cant pick your car up without an insurance certificate

[VXRich]

but the dealer will normally sort out 7 days 'drive away' insurance.

[VX Mel]
