Also, don't get just the base package, definitely consider getting one with sport package. Well worth the extra few grand.

Cant agree with that, it all depends what you're planning of doing with the car. I test drove the sport and felt as a DD, the suspension for NY streets are just too hard, if I would have had plan to track, I would have considered the sports package. But for a great street car and as DD, spending the extra money, especially if you tight on it, is not worth it. But again, to each his own, but the regular setup is more than good for my needs, brakes and suspension is just perfect for non tracking experience..

Oh, and I pay for two cars, my 370Z and my wife's new Mazda CX-5 $112.-/month at Geico, including mechanical breakdown insurance and roadside assistance but than we both are 45Y.

There are no magical age drops. That's a myth and I'm not sure how/why it keeps perpetuating.

That said, if you have 10+ years without a moving violation that will help your rate quite a bit. It has more to do with how long you've been on the road and how many claims you've had than your age.
