Middle class chap car of choice in your manor

[Sensei Rob]

Since we've had the "innit, bruv?" thread, how about a thread on the "how do you do?" and "would you like a cup of tea?" crowd?

Round my end, it seems to be a mish-mash of French and German cars.

Sorry, us middle class dont have manors, we have locales.

And since you ask RAV4, only the foolish have anything non-Japanese - we value reliability!1

Around here is awash with discovery 4s. I have never seemed a chavved up one, and all seem to be driven by well to do women, farmers, or towing a trailer.

Although I have one, I am the exception as I’m not really middle class or well to do. I do own a gilet though and look like a failed land agent.

[SebastienClement]

Volvos around here. A mix of new and old!

[Baldchap]

Teslas round here I think.

[Luke.]

Volvos, BMWs, new Defenders, the odd Merc.

[Meridius]

Any Volvo, any Skoda and 3 Series Tourings.

There is definite inverse car snobbery in the part of London I live in. Toerags drive flashy German cars and LR products. Posh media types drive Kia’s, Hyundai’s and at best a Lexus NX.

For the ladies, there are 4 Evoques within 50 yards of our house, one of which belongs to the Mrs. Hateful things.

I see a fair few Teslas, Qashqai, but weapon of choice seems to be a Jag or German metal for the middle management types. All driven sensibly and washed on a Sunday afternoon.

Special mention goes to the chap driving his 03 Shogun everywhere, 240k miles, and has owned it from new. Top bloke as well.

Audis for the ladies

I'm not sure I know where chav ends and middle class begins these days tbh..

[hungry_hog]

Volvo XC40 / 60 / 90
Audi estates (not S / RS)
3 series Touring SE form
Skoda SUV (Kodiak?)
Discovery
Tesla

The same things the innits will be driving a couple of years after the lease ends.

I think you will go a long way to beat a Range Rover, provided it’s not new, or ‘blinged’ in any way.

[EthanSmale]

I think Land Rover Discovery, VW Golf, Touareg or surprisingly Vauxhall Insignia. I see a lot of them around here being driven by middle class, maybe even slightly posh people. Not so much elsewhere!

I think until recently the only car dealership for a mainstream brand around here was Vauxhall so normal people who aren't that bothered just went there. It closed recently so I guess that'll change over the next few years

Before that, there was a Rover dealership and I think the Insignia took over the role of the 75 and MG ZT here

Jag XK convertibles driven by white-haired gents; Land Rovers, a Maserati SUV (name escapes me); a couple of McLarens and Ferraris and most impressively, what looked like a respectable mid to lates 60s lady in a bright yellow newish 911.
