What to Look for When You Compare Car Insurance Companies

When you compare auto insurance companies after obtaining free quotes, be sure to take note of several items that will help you obtain a better auto insurance rate quote. When requesting a quote, remember that the largest, most well known auto insurance companies won’t necessarily give you with the cheapest automobile insurance quote or the best customer care if you are ever in an automobile accident or need to make an auto insurance claim. While you review and compare, please remember that there might be less well known companies that can offer top notch service and cheaper rates on your vehicle.

When you compare low cost quotes for your automobile, there are several factors you should look at while reviewing you quote. If you are deciding to buy between a couple different quotes offering different coverage options or premiums, researching the company may help you make your decision on which policy may be best for your circumstances. Here are a few tips to help you compare quotes and make buying an auto insurance policy from specific companies a little easier.
1. Research the auto insurance company after getting a rate quote. We work with many trusted companies, but you may consider checking with the state to determine if there might be any notable compaints against the company that might make you choose not to do business with them. You can do this by contacting your state’s insurance department by phone or online.
2. Consider the company reputation and history while you compare each quote from the providers you talk to. Find out how long the company has been providing auto insurance rates in your state. Do they provide high quality customer care? Are their policies different than your existing coverage? Do they have any complaints with the Better Business Bureau?
3. Look at their process for filing auto insurance claims when you compare companies. Ask about the company process for filing a claim for an automobile accident and how long the process usually takes. If you are ever involved in a car accident, you'll want to make sure the company handles the claim in a timely manner.
4. Ask friends, family and co-workers when shopping for a cheaper policy. Sometimes, the best way to find a reputable car insurance company is to ask the people you trust. Explain that you are looking for auto insurance quotes and you need recommendations on different companies. See how long they have been with their company, if they have gotten cheap quotes from other companies and if they have ever had to file a claim and how long it took. You could also talk to a mechanic at a trusted auto repair shop about policy suggestions as they may have ideas on which of their clients have had good and bad experiences.
5. Go with your gut feeling. When you compare and get rate quotes, go with the company that makes you feel most comfortable. Follow your instincts while getting a quote comparison. Was the agent or company representative able to answer all your coverage and policy questions? Did the agent treat you with courteous and respect? Were they honest about what coverage you needed and did not need or did they just try to sell you additional coverages you felt that you could do without?

Finding the Right Car Insurance Quote

When you are shopping to buy car insurance online, be sure to remember that the cheapest quote doesn’t necessarily mean you will get the best value on your automotible coverage. The Insurance Information Institute recommends getting at least three car insurance quotes from three separate auto insurers. When you have the rate quotes, look beyond the dollar amount to what the vehicle coverage actually covers. Be aware of the several other factors that could affect you if you are ever in an automobile accident or need to make a claim such as the type of coverage, the coverage amounts, deductibles, what is covered – and more importantly, what is not covered in the 'policy exclusions' document.

When you compare quotes from multiple providers, consider what is covered in a policy and that you're getting an apples to apples comparison. You might be surprised to find out the coverages quoted may be different depending on how many drivers are on the policy, whether you have home or renters insurance and even your zip code. When it comes down to reviewing and deciding to buy the most affordabe coverage from the best company, be sure to compare multiple providers so that you can find out which company actually offers the cheapest car insurance with coverage that meets your expectations.

BMW M3 GTR

BMW M3 GTR

Beneath the beefy silhouette of the M3 GTR beats a powerful heart: a four-litre V8 engine delivering more than 400 bhp. This short-stroke, high-speed unit epitomizes the tradition of M power and is compact enough to fit into the M3. This engine is very different from the V8 found in the M5 and has yet to been seen in any E46 road car.

In accordance with the regulations of the Automobil Club de l'Ouest (A.C.O.), which also organizes the Le Mans 24 Hours, BMW Motorsport was planning on building a limited production run of road-ready M3 GTRs. The motivation behind this would be to satisfy homologation regulations which stated at least one road going version needed to be sold.

After decimating the competition in the GT class, Porsche complained the BMW car was streching the rules too far. The ACO coincided with Porsche and changed the rules such that the BMW would need an additional 100 lbs of weight and 20% larger air restrictors or make 1000 road going examples. Sadly, by attempting to make the GT class comptetative, the ACO have driven BMW away from GT motorsport in 2002.

Upgrades over the "standard" 3-Series automobiles include more powerful and responsive (yet at times smaller) engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements, and interior/exterior accents with the tri-color "M" (Motorsport) emblem.

Outlook

Toyota has just revealed images and details about the new Yaris, which again wears the Vitz badge in its homeland. The new Yaris will arrive in Australia in the second half of 2011, so pricing and specifications won't be confirmed before then.

In brief

From a purely aesthetic perspective, the new Yaris takes the successful formula and gives it significantly more edginess. On the inside, the new car ditches the centrally mounted digital instruments that have been a part of the Echo/Yaris range since day dot.

2011 Toyota Yaris coming to Australia second-half 2011

Toyota has unveiled the first official images of the third-generation 2011 Toyota Yaris (Vitz in Japan), revealing a restyled city hatch with a sharper exterior, improved technology and reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

The new Yaris will arrive in Australia in the second half of 2011, and is expected to feature a similar mechanical line-up to current model, with a 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre petrol engine range.
Toyota Japan says the new 1.3-litre Yaris will be able to achieve combined cycle fuel consumption of 3.8 litres/100km – although under Australian standards that figure is likely to rise to around 5.0 litres/100km.
The Yaris achieves those tidy numbers thanks to the implementation of Toyota’s Stop & Start idling-stop system, which kills the engine at idle and restarts it within 0.35 seconds. In Japan, the engine will be accompanied by a continuously variable transmission (CVT) only.

It is not clear whether the models destined for Australia will feature either Stop & Start or CVT. Neither is available on the current model.
The new Yaris will also be offered with a 1.5-litre engine, which in Japan is paired to both a CVT and a five-speed manual transmission.
Overall vehicle length has grown by 60mm to 3885mm, and Toyota says this has translated to 35mm extra legroom for back-row passengers.

The front seats use a new frame and the driver’s seat is now considerably more functional, with a greater range of motion and more precise settings.
The boot is 145mm deeper and features an adjustable deck board that can be set at two places depending on what you’re carrying.
The Japanese version is full of gadgets as usual, although Australia will get a less well-equipped version. Toyota says it is the first vehicle in the world to use UV-reducing glass in the front doors, which cuts 99 percent of UV light, apparently providing the same level of protection as wearing gloves.

The vehicle also features a single windscreen wiper with an integrated washer nozzle, automatic headlights, a colour monitor with HDD navigation and reversing camera, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. In its domestic market it will be offered with a choice of 17 different exterior colours and four interior trim options.
The Japanese-spec Yaris will come with front, side and curtain airbags but misses out on standard electronic stability control.
Japanese pricing starts from 1,060,000 yen ($12,680) for the entry-level 1.0-litre model and tops out at 1,790,000 yen ($21,410) for the top-spec 1.5-litre CVT.
More details on the Australian launch, specifications, and pricing of the 2011 Toyota Yaris will be revealed in the coming months.

Toyota Yaris

Looking for an inexpensive, entry-level new car at a Toyota dealership? In the past few years, you would've likely walked right by the Yaris' oddly proportioned predecessor, the Echo, and opted to shop for one of its worthy subcompact competitors. Thankfully, the Toyota Yaris is a better vehicle in just about every way.

Though new to Americans, the current Yaris is actually the car's second generation from a global perspective -- a first-generation Yaris was available in other markets, including Europe, where it was Toyota's best-selling car. As Toyota's entry-level model, the Yaris should hold considerable appeal for the young and value-conscious consumer.

Current Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris subcompact is available as a two-door hatchback, a four-door hatchback or a four-door sedan. The hatchbacks' sparse standard features list includes air-conditioning and a tilt steering wheel, while the sedan adds a tachometer, a height-adjustable driver seat and a remote trunk release. Speakers are pre-wired, but a radio is not offered as standard equipment.

Optional equipment includes 60/40-split rear seats (slide/recline for the hatchbacks), a CD/MP3 player, power accessories, keyless entry and cruise control. The Sport package adds exterior styling enhancements, 15-inch wheels, foglights, iPod integration and sport seats.

All Toyota Yaris models are powered by an economical 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 106 horsepower and driving the front wheels. Two transmissions are available -- a five-speed manual and an optional four-speed automatic -- with both delivering excellent and comparable city/highway mileage.

Toyota has put in extra effort to differentiate the two Yaris body styles. They feature different instrument panels, and the sedan is almost 20 inches longer than the hatchback and has a longer wheelbase. This means more room for rear passengers in the sedan, though the hatchback can compensate nicely thanks to its optional adjustable rear seat, which moves fore and aft.

In reviews, we've found that when driving the Toyota Yaris around town, the word "competent" often comes to mind. Not "refined" or "sporty" or "fun"-- just "competent." The steering is light for easy parking maneuvers, and the turning circle is tight. The car feels reasonably secure and comfortable -- but nothing more. The Yaris can be surprisingly fun on twisty roads, but it's nothing like Ford's Fiesta or Honda's Fit. The engine is peppy enough, though off-the-line acceleration can be sluggish with the automatic transmission.

Used Toyota Yaris Model

The Toyota Yaris was introduced for 2007. The three-door, sport-themed hatchback S model arrived a year later, while the five-door hatchback was introduced for 2009. Models prior to '09 may not feature side curtain airbags and antilock brakes, since they were previously optional. For 2010, stability control became standard, a manual transmission was introduced for the previously automatic-only five-door hatchback, and the S trim level was eliminated in favor of the optional Sport package.
