Is insurance higher for an automatic or a manual?

Question

Or does it just depend on where you live?

Answer 1

If it is the same model with the same engine, etc, it doesn't make any difference. Anybody who tells you different probably has fallen for the "red cars cost more to insure" myth as well.

Answer 2

Mostly it depends on age, location, vehicle year and type, and driving record. Also could be different policy for different companies. Best thing to do if looking at a certain vehicle is to call your insurance agent and ask them.
