I had forgotten about this thread. For the record, hubby and I now own a Subaru Ascent, which comes in various models depending on what you want in the car. Ours happens to have all the bells & whistles, the Touring Edition, and we had no issues insuring it. We've taken it on some short hops, and a longer hop down to TX, but our road trip vehicle for really long hauls during better-weather-seasons is still our old pickup truck with the shell.

I'd recommend calling your insurance company and talking to them about any vehicle that you are seriously considering. That way you don't run into any surprises, like "we don't insure that vehicle", or "that one will be a lot pricier than the car it's replacing", etc.

Of course, the OP may have already bought his/her car, but as was proven, old threads pop up once in awhile with new viewers asking the same questions.
