The Subaru WRX is the most ticketed car by percentage in the U.S., according to a new study Insurance.com.

One out of every three WRX drivers — or 33.6 percent — has reported receiving a traffic citation recently.

The Pontiac GTO came in second with 32.7 percent.

Rounding out the top five are the Scion FR-S with 32.6 percent, the Toyota Supra with 30.8 percent and the Subaru Tribeca with 29.7 percent.

Three other American cars also made the list: The Mercury Topaz ranked seventh with 28.8 percent, the Pontiac G8 ranked 15th with 27.7 percent, and the Saturn Aura ranked 18th with 27.1 percent

None of the four American cars are manufactured anymore; Ford has discontinued the Mercury brand and the Topaz was last produced in 1994. General Motors abandoned Pontiac and Saturn in its 2009 bankruptcy restructuring.

The most-ticketed brand by percent was Scion. Its IC was ranked eighth on the list with 28.8 percent, and xA 14th with 27.8 percent. According to Insurance.com, 27.5 percent of Scion owners have gotten a traffic violation.
