Nowhere is a VW sedan classified as a sports car.
Just say it's a 2-door Volkswagen...

You are just trying to get liability?  I understand if it's
trying to cover a classic car for collision, but a 2-door vw
is a 2-door vw is a 2-door vw. 

My insurance company classifies our squareback *exactly* the same
as our *bus*.  (And a bug would be the same).  That's USAA but I
don't think it would be any different anywhere else.

Are you sure they don't think it's a ghia or something?
