Lol I love it when people call the GTi/VTS a chav-mobile; I've seen more decent ones than kevved up monsters. Not to say bad examples aren't out there though.
However, the lower spec versions do fall into the hands of youths with a taste for Halfords but then that's the same for most small cars. Just take a look at some of the awful smaller engine/lower spec Clio's (and 172's etc too). s**tters.
And just because I own a VTS it doesn't mean I'm a fan boy or whatever, I've owned a Clio RT and Valver and nearly brought a Cup! No doubting that a Renaultsport Clio is a superior car in terms of equipment and/or looks, I just think the VTS/GTi is a very under rated and capable car!
