I am almost 27 now, with a clean record and my insurance is still around 1800 a year. Consider yourself lucky lol

Pshh... when I was 17 I bought a crappy new neon sxt and that thing was just under $5,000/year to insure for the first 2 years, a little over $400/month and on my parents plan in central NJ (150/350/150 UM100/300 with $500/$500 deductibles). My insurance was more than double the monthly payments on the thing... I could lease and insure a Porsche Cayman for what I was paying for that shit neon the first year...
I have the same coverage here in Madison, WI at 27 with a defensive driving course and clean record and I am at $896 a year. For the same as my monthly rate at 17, I get half a year of insurance for me and my wife.
I called insurance when I was shopping for a car and the difference between the FR-S, BRZ, 370z, and WRX were all within $40/year. Once you are over 25 your insurance will drop like a rock and it doesn't really matter what car you buy at that point. My wife's Nissan Rogue costs more to insure than my FR-S.
