It\u2019s time to sell the Porsche 911 GT2 and buy something a bit more&#8230; affordable.  Sure, you can find good deals on cars these days from just about any manufacturer, but even a screaming deal on a Mustang GT is going to bite you in the ass when it comes time to pay the insurance bill.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a 40 year old male with a good driving record, here are the 10 cheapest 2010 vehicles to insure, based on a U.S. national average.  Mind you, this also means that they\u2019re the 10 least entertaining vehicles from the driver\u2019s perspective, and most are base models with steel wheels and cheesy plastic wheel covers.  The good news is you can park them with the keys in the ignition and a full tank of gas, and not worry too much about about finding your ride stolen. <\/p>\n<p>List after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-40700\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Mazda Tribute i 2wd<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/mazda-tribute-2010-5od\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40714\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MAZDA-TRIBUTE-2010-5OD.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Mazda Tribute i\" title=\"MAZDA-TRIBUTE-2010-5OD\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40714\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nA rebranded and mechanically identical Ford Escape, the Tribute is an aging cute ute with questionable build quality and dated styling.  How many of you even knew that Mazda still sold these?  I certainly didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h3>Honda Odyssey LX<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/2010-honda-odyssey-lx\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40716\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-Honda-Odyssey-LX-500x291.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Honda Odyssey LX\" title=\"2010 Honda Odyssey LX\" width=\"500\" height=\"291\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40716\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nLong the minivan of choice for growing families who want a trouble free chariot, it\u2019s good to know that the Odyssey is cheap to insure.  No worse to drive than any other minivan, at least you can count on the Odyssey to be predictably reliable.<\/p>\n<h3>Mazda Tribute i 4wd<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/cc_2010maz009a_640_36y\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40715\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cc_2010MAZ009a_640_36Y-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Mazda Tribute i\" title=\"cc_2010MAZ009a_640_36Y\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40715\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIf you live in snow country, this is the cheapest 4wd vehicle you can insure.<\/p>\n<h3>Chrysler Town &#038; Country LX<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/town-country-lx\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40717\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/town-country-lx.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Chrysler Town &#038; Country LX\" title=\"town &amp; country lx\" width=\"500\" height=\"310\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40717\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe second minivan on the list, but certainly not the last.  I guess minivan drivers aren\u2019t known for their hoonage, and the Eastern European black market for stolen minivans isn\u2019t exactly booming.<\/p>\n<h3>Jeep Wrangler X<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/2010_jeep_wrangler_x_rocky_mountain\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40718\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010_Jeep_Wrangler_X_Rocky_Mountain.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Jeep Wrangler X\" title=\"2010_Jeep_Wrangler_X_Rocky_Mountain\" width=\"500\" height=\"361\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40718\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI\u2019m surprised to see a Wrangler on the list, since I always thought they were high theft vehicles.  If you need a four wheel drive that can actually get you off road, and don\u2019t mind a truck with the ride comfort of a hardtail chopper, the Wrangler is a good option.<\/p>\n<h3>Mazda Tribute S 2wd<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/2010maz009a_640_01\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40719\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010MAZ009a_640_01-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Mazda Tribute S\" title=\"2010MAZ009a_640_01\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40719\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSame as number one on the list, different trim level.<\/p>\n<h3>Dodge Grand Caravan SE<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/cc_2010dod003b_640_prh\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cc_2010DOD003b_640_PRH-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SE\" title=\"cc_2010DOD003b_640_PRH\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40720\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe same as its Chrysler cousin.  Slightly more expensive, probably because more are on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>Toyota Sienna CE<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/toyota_sienna_ce_fwd_with_7_passenger_seating_2010_exterior_angularfront\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40721\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/toyota_sienna_ce_fwd_with_7_passenger_seating_2010_exterior_angularfront-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Toyota Sienna CE\" title=\"toyota_sienna_ce_fwd_with_7_passenger_seating_2010_exterior_angularfront\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40721\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnother base model minivan, this time from Toyota.<\/p>\n<h3>Hyundai Tucson GLS 2wd<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/800px-2010_hyundai_tucson_gls_1_-_01-06-2010\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40722\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/800px-2010_Hyundai_Tucson_GLS_1_-_01-06-2010-500x371.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Hyundai Tucson GLS\" title=\"800px-2010_Hyundai_Tucson_GLS_1_--_01-06-2010\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40722\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe Korean automaker is selling the hell out of these right now, so much so that they\u2019ve had to ramp up production.  If you\u2019re looking for a compact SUV with decent style, a comfortable interior and an unbeatable warranty, the Tucson is worth a look.  Just don\u2019t expect it to be a driver\u2019s car.<\/p>\n<h3>Kia Sportage LX<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/mr-frugal-presents-the-10-cheapest-vehicles-to-insure\/2009-kia-sportage-lx-4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40727\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kia_sportage_lx_i4_mt_2wd_2009_exterior_angularfront-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"2009 Kia Sportage LX\" title=\"2009 Kia Sportage LX\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40727\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nKia has come a long way, especailly under parent company Hyundai.  Yes, they\u2019re still a price point vehicle, but so was the mid-70s Toyota Corolla.  If you need an inexpensive compact SUV, the Kia Sportage is a good place to begin your search.<\/p>\n<p>Source:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insure.com\/car-insurance\/cheap-car-insurance-2010.html\">Insure.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ui2V2jntYk_MW-pNFdTY3rTWsG8\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ui2V2jntYk_MW-pNFdTY3rTWsG8\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ui2V2jntYk_MW-pNFdTY3rTWsG8\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Ui2V2jntYk_MW-pNFdTY3rTWsG8\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So let\u2019s say you\u2019ve been \u201cdisplaced\u201d, like about 20 million of your friends, neighbors and countrymen.
