Red's a great color if you love getting tickets ... the cops seem to notice it more, I call it "give me a ticket red". I'm on my fifth Honda now and I received my most tickets in my red Civic.... won't buy a red Civic again.

They do notice you more because red stands out from the traffic.....I got pulled over because my car was red and that usually means driver is more aggressive....but it's attractive color IMO....my 09 silver is less noticable and I feel more responsible

Not to burst your bubble OP, but they don't make Habanero Red anymore. Its been replaced by Redline Orange.

As far as red goes, I've got RR. Had it over two years, no tickets, and I have one of the loudest exhausts they make. :knock on wood:

according to honda, that bronze color is new for this year. When I picked out my car, red was not even an option (by choice). Don't need tickets or any undesired attention.
