I'm at over 190K miles and have not once used my horn "in anger". The only time I've used it is when I picked up the car and was doing a walkaround inspection.
I wish I could say not a lot but I'm in the city with this car nearly all the time. Probably in this car's history about 30+ times, I'd have to count all my dash cam footage. Never done in anger, more so "please don't hit me, I'm right beside you". Most of the time they're actually sorry. I'm actually more calm in this car than my other ones. The only times I wasn't pleased were the blatant red light runners(well past time needed to stop) fortunately it's only 2 of those thus far.

The drivers here are a bit derpy, getting worse with lane changes by relying entirely on blind spot sensors. Which seem to vary in whether they can "see" this car.

Took the second time for me to immediately move to horn replacement because they literally ignored it and we're still proceeding. Worse the guy was looking at some dinky Accent on the wrong side thinking it was him.
