This Is The Car That Will Get You A Ticket In The USA

SubaruBuy one, get tickets.

It's the Subaru WRX - and if you're driving one, you're probably driving it fast enough to get a ticket, a recent survey says.

You could also be doing other illegal things in the car, according to the Daily Mail, which reported on the survey created by Ticket Magnet.

A Subaru? Really? The Cadillac of Vermont? How is this possible?

Car & Driver explains:

The connection with Porsche is instructive. As is the fact that the WRX is essentially a rally racing car domesticated for street-legal motoring. For years, the WRX has been known as just about the best performing, most-race-car-like set of wheels you can buy in the U.S. - for under $30,000.

And therein lies the rub, as the Daily Mail notes. Cars with far more horsepower - but far steeper sticker prices - don't place their driver at high risk of a ticket because those drivers are far more mature. They do not have a need for speed.

Bright red Ferrari? Don't worry about it. Bright red WRX? You've got trouble.
