I think the only Toyota that is considered a sports car is the Supra. Maybe the Celica. Maybe.
Just went to Toyota.com...they don't even make a sports car anymore.
If only having 2 doors is the classification for being a sports car, then is the AMC Gremlin a sports car? How about the Pacer? VW Bug? I could go on all night.

It usually has to do with power to weight ratio, if the car has rear seats or not and the insurance companies loss experience with the car.
I found that "sports cars" tended to be less to insure than their 4 seat counterparts. Case in point, a 2000 or so Corvette was cheaper to insure than the same year Camaro SS. The reason being was the insurance companies loss experience. Generally young drivers do not buy Vettes and their parents do not let them near theirs. Where as a Camaro was more affordable and some parents actually bought 325hp monsters for their 16 yr old sons. Who promptly wrecked them or got tickets.
No vehicle you listed would be considered a sports car. Of course all the cars you listed tend to be bought by younger drivers that statistically do not drive as well as older drivers. A Yaris should be cheap enough, the Corolla and Celica will be on the higher side of average, and the Nissan will be about the same if it is a Spec V.
Given the cars you have listed, and similar models in that price range, you will want a 4dr. And maybe one that is kind of a sleeper. Civics can be kinda pricey, and VW's are pricey to insure as well (just try to get parts and see how much they costs).
Compile a list and call your agent for a quote, or do it online if you can. Be specific on the trim level, as it really can matter. A base Corolla will be fairly inexpensive, but the Corolla S with 170hp and side skirts you wanted them to quote will be much more.

The "sports car" insurance is a myth. The insurance premium is based on a number of factors: Replacement costs, fatality rates, number of accident, chance of theft, etc. In general Toyota is expensive to insure. The Nissan Sentra will probably be the cheapest of the vehicles you listed (assuming that they're all the same year).

Whoever informed you about that cents in line with mile issue replaced into yanking your chain. I dont imagine you note of how coverage works. First, you're in undemanding words insured below ONE automobile,below your dads coverage, that could nicely be the hyundai. in case you stress the tr3, that's on your dads call, that's ok because you're on his coverage. And it may easily be more cost-efficient to be insured as using the tr3 or delorian as a ordinary motive force, no longer the hyundai, because in spite of the undeniable fact that that's a activities automobile, that's old and doesnt have collision on it. look at it this manner, in case you crash the hyundai, the coverage corporation has to fork out $15,000 or in spite of its worth over to you. in case you crash the tr3, the coverage corporation doesnt ought to pay you a dime. once you're going to take out your human being coverage, dont, you'll save one thousand a year in case you bypass below your dads coverage. yet in the accurate, communicate it over with him, and make contact with an agent, that's their job to describe issues to you.
