I've gotten 2 warnings in a year and a half, but no tickets yet. Should've gotten one a couple weeks back. Looked in the mirror to see a cop behind me while I was doing 72 in a 60. I could see him running my plate, but my record is clear so he let me slide.

It's interesting that while the FR-S is #3, the BRZ is tied for #125.

That's a catchy title based on pretty poor data. Online place for insurance quotes is gonna be heavy on younger people looking to lower their bill after they've received a rate increase (probably due to tickets) from their current insurer.

So, while to ordering may be correct for younger drivers, absolute percentages are certainly crap.

Amusing, but fairly worthless study. Interesting that the Dodge Viper is in the bottom five...

I would like to yell at any FR-S owners getting ticketed and now raising our insurance rates but..... I have a confession to make.

Through circumstantial situations I've actually gotten 3 tickets in one month in the city of Atlanta.... I'm 30 and have only received 2 tickets in my life prior and the kicker I literally only drive this car on Fridays and possibly one day on the weekend if we go out....

string of bad luck I hope

Sorry for adding to the numbers guys/girls

Proof that the average FR-S is faster than the average BRZ

I guess my BRZ averages with my WRX at 62.5th place :P

akahenry · 10-01-2014, 06:34 PM

Owned my BRZ for almost a year (11 months of ownership coming up) and have yet to even get a ticket with it, or even a warning. My car is also pretty loud as well, still no ticket. With that said, I don't drive like a maniac or drive over the speed limit, so that'll probably be the reason why I haven't received a ticket yet. Also my car looks extremely stock so maybe that's another reason why I haven't been ticketed yet? :P

Not bad for what some folks call a sloooow car.

Nah, BRZ owners are just quick enough to get away.

I find it interesting than stangs aren't on list just given how damn many of them there are on the roads.
