The car is a factor though and the examples above prove the value in considering less obvious first cars.

No one said more than the driver. But you can't change the driver details to lower to price, but you can change the vehicle. And it's a well known fact the car plays a big role in price - rarer cars = expensive parts = expensive insurance. Certain cars trend amongst idiot road users. Others not so much
