No, it makes the car more attractive to thieves

Strangely, if I add my wife as a named driver, the premium comes down rather than goes up. But (looks round to see if she is looking) she isn't what you'd call 'young' And frankly, nor am I

Yeah, I had to declare them because I'm getting an ES where parking sensors are not standard. If I'd got an EX I wouldn't have had to declare them.

The reason I was given by the guy on the phone was

"If someone has parking sensors, they tend to become reliant on them so if the sensors fail then they'll just reverse into something"

Yeah thats what I thought too

I'm starting to think my insurance is a rip-off, but £650 was the best deal I could find (most wanted £1000+).

Does the postcode really make that much of a difference?

[smurf79]

Part of it is down to post code. I've lived in 3 different areas of Bolton with the same car and it changed each time. All the variables were the same like how it was stored at night and the like, only thing that changed was post code and the premium varied by anything up to £100
