I have a clean record and am 36. Last year I paid $1050
this year $2300.
You do the math and tell me how that works!!! 
oh yah my Insurance company tells me I'm lucky cause it didn't go up that much.......WTF?
Not over here in Saskabush...
Each individual car is given a $ amount to insure, based on power, options, age, and type. You can look up the figure in a book before purchase. Mom's 92 base model Taurus is actually only $150 cheaper to insure than my 02 loaded Focus.
$863/year full coverage, which includes a package policy. That policy includes all my stereo equipment (original value as per sales receipts) and any items I left in the car (CDs, porn, dead hookers in the trunk) Anybody can drive my car as long as they have a licence, and the car is still fully insured. So if my brother hops into the car and hits a parked car, his driver's license costs more, not my insurance  I was in an accident deemed my fault just before I sold the Tour and now instead of getting a 7% discount on my license, I get a 2% discount   In five years I will again have a 7% discount. I have no idea how SGI makes any money at all... but they make lots.
I paid $250/year for the same thing on the Jetta  More recently that increased to $460 because they no longer give winter beaters a reprieve from insurance costs
