So to sum it up, an insurance company made a study to see which cars had a greater chance of getting speeding tickets. Here’s a cut and paste:
“Number one on the list is the Subaru WRX, a high-performance compact sedan inspired by rally-racing cars that came in with a score of 20.12 percent. It was followed by the Scion FR-S (19.09), Volkswagen GTI (16.92), and Hyundai Genesis Coupe (15.75) sports cars.”
Not sure if they are grouping the 86 into that, but come on guys, now I know why my insurance rate is so damn high!

I always find it funny when someone links something from Fox News and feels they have to throw in a disclaimer so they don’t get obliterated by social justice warriors. Hahaha
Similar to the gun topic, it isn’t the car it’s the driver but if the insurance company doesn’t have a lot of history on you then I guess they have to fall back on the statistics of the car. I’ve been with StateFarm for 20 years and have never made a single claim. Insurance on my FRS isn’t much different from any of my past cars. When I was first insured with StateFarm I had an Integra GSR and paid $250 per month until I turned 21 and then it dropped dramatically. When I was younger I had TONS of speeding tickets and always rode that fine line of having my license suspended for having too many points. These days I get a ticket maybe once every 3 years. I’ve never seen my insurance go up from a ticket though. Not even when I got 4 or more per year.
I’ve not gotten a ticket in my FRS yet. Knock on wood.
