Any of Vauxhall's VXR range, or Ford's ST range.
They could not fit in any more at a McDonald's car park.

What cars scream 'chav' to you?

Vauxhall Chavalier.
When it comes to cars, anything not modified tastefully. My older brother is old school chav although now in his 50's he's only modified a Mazda 2 a little. Still spent too much money on it though for something probably not worth much. Wears the same clothes he did in his 20's too, ie, tracksuit trousers. I swear one of us were picked up at a hospital by mistake

There's some horrific little metallic purple thing round my way (possibly a modded Saxo) with a crackle map and the most ridiculous turbo howl I've ever heard. Sounds like someone stabbing an asthmatic dog when it changes gear.
You can hear the skirts catching the ground on the bumpy bits. Add in the UV underlighting and tinted windows and you have a top-grade chavmobile!

Talking about Saxos, where are the Max Power brigade these days?
They're all #stancenation and #dubberlyfe now.
Some of the same people are probably still around, it's just the "showcar" fad died out a long time ago. I think there's more of a split into different car cultures now than 20 years ago in the UK.

5 pages before someone mentions Subaru.
The days of "Oooh, an Impreza" are long gone.
For the record I have a white Impreza with black wheels and a black 3 series with the coloured bits on the grille - even have the Msport stickers down the side too. On weekends, I tuck my trakkie bottoms into my white socks

Still have a bit of a thing for a full rally-trim WRX tho...

Vauxhalls with the front and rear badges removed, you're not fooling anybody I still know its a Vauxhall.
But seriously why do Vauxhall owners do this as a mod? I've not seen it done on any other make of car.

Because the same car is available with other brands which are considered more exotic.
I have (front debadging), seen it on quite a few makes. But Astras and Corsas seem to be the ones who do it most commonly.
Rear debadging I can see, as it often makes for a nicer look. Did it myself - having a "Toyota" badge as well as the Toyota emblem seemed redundant, and made the rear of the car look cleaner and less fussy. But I have yet to see a car which looks better with it's front emblem removed, as nearly every car in the world is designed around having one present.

- An old Golf, 1 Series, or A3 with black wheels and evidence of years of questionable cosmetic modifications
- A Vauxhall Zafira or Renault Scenic. Usually driven by the sort of ageing football shirt-wearing bloke who would be described thusly
- <6 year old Vauxhall, Kia, or Hyundai SUV. Female variant can be found in the driver's seat, probably smoking, with various offspring in the rear. Usually observed aggressively weaving in and out of traffic.
- E90 320D with aftermarket wheels

E90 BMWs, usually poverty spec SE models with black aftermarket alloys. Customary ///M badges often stuck in random places.

I’m partial to a bit of undertaking from time to time. If people don’t like it then maybe they should move over instead of sitting in the middle/fast lane licking their windows.

same here
passing on the inside and undertaking arent the same though
passing on the inside is fine

Pah! Not even remotely chavvy. Too expensive for a start!

It might be easier to list cars that aren’t chavvy?
I can’t believe the humble cavalier got a mention, they where the rep mobile of the day.
