i'm sure the statistics are true, but think about why.
yes, a lot of younger newer drivers, and even older drivers new to performance cars buy cheap wrx's and crack them up. yes.
BUT, the statistic is a total of all cars, and there are a lot of wrx's on the street in comparison to other newer performance cars.
even if 90% of all (lets say) chrysler crossfires (a low sales car) were wrecked the total number of cars the insurance companies needed to cover would still be lower than the say 20% crashed wrx's. same goes for the other end of the stat. ever been hit by a ferrari? maybe because there aren't many out there. i've probably only seen 3 ferraris on maine streets this year and i've seen more wrx's than that this week.
yes, wrx's probably are worse than most due to the drivers, but the high sales volume is a large unmentioned factor.
