'Chav'
Definition: the lower class; uneducated and ignorant people
(dictionary.com)
To start with I wouldn't say people buying leons are uneducated.
I have found most people who do buy them actually know what they're looking for. Many people started out looking for a golf mk4 but then after doing a bit of research realised the leon was cheaper and better looking.
Ignorant.. Maybe, but people are always going to be ignorant of the rules of the road. However if you put the same plonker driving like a nob in any other car he can drive like a nob in, he will.
I don't think that the leons are going to get *******ised any more than any other car. Yeah sure, some 18yr olds will put a tacky bodykit on it, but I think you'll find most people upgrade to cupra/r model bumpers and skirts so you can't knock that. When I was 18 I wanted to put a bodykit on my gold fiat brava.. Hindsight eh?
And people are too quick to judge anyway. I'm young, I wear a combat hoodie and drive a leon cupra. I bought it because I wanted a car that'd look good and be efficient and practical. I've broken the speed limit occasionally (just like everyone else). I've driven it to illegal raves before.
However I have never been arrested, taken to hospital, never started a fight (since school) and have a clean licence.
Picture this: If i overtook you, you might just think i was a chav trying to be a bad boi, but if you overtook me on the same theoretical bit of road what you expect me to think of you?
