Insurance is cheaper on the 986 than it is on my old neon dd.

It is not surprising that insurance would be cheaper on a 986 than a Neon or Focus. Insurance is based on risk; risk is not just based on the car but on the driving record of the typical user, the user's group, and the number of miles driven. "As a group," Porsches are not much of a risk for the insurance companies, being generally driven by an older crowd and frequently not that many miles. My Cayman costs 1/3 as much to insure as my Scion tC, but that is hardly surprising considering I'm an old fart with a completely clean driving record and the car sits in the garage most of the time. By comparison, my 19 y/o is the primary driver of the Scion and Scions are popular with the young crowd that tends to have lots of accidents. I am sure if I was 19 and driving a 911 Turbo as my daily driver, I would be paying a lot more for insurance than any Neon or Focus.
