TBH if you drive a small car nova,corsa,saxo people will think you are a dick. if you get a bigger more expensive car people won't let you out of junctions and think you are a dick.
the only way is to get a diesel boring mobile

 people always get out of the way when i come up behind them  in all of my previous cars i got the impression they did things on purpose to irritate me.
But the only down side of the M3 is No-one is willing to "play about"

i feel on motorways if i go up behind them they always get out the way, especially at night i move slightly to the right and they see the evil headlights in their mirror and move

I'm 27 so feel a bit of a tosser driving my Corsa now, it's subtle and not far off standard looks wise bar 60mm and cavslabs but hey ho lol...
Bit too old now, hate the stigma, loads of kids down here driving like knobs, some nice corsas about like but still driven stupidly... which just adds fuel to the stigma fire, so i want a change really

I love that comment, Then the reply is:
"Yup, and you paid how much for your BMW that looked "ok-ish" in my rear veiw mirror???"
i wish i had that exuse, iv spent way to much on mine
then again when a corsa leaves other more expensive cars, its all worth while

fuck what anybody else says about your car. its normally because they dont have a clue so they just jump on the bandwagon and call it chavvy. or they have rich parents who buy them newer cars to start with. we (the people who matter) know corsa b's are cool.
mines on 93k now i dont want her to die.

Don't see many chavs driving Corsa's round my way, more Saxo's or Mk3 Fiesta's with stupid bodykits. Yeah you get the odd one with Lexus lights and bodykits but defo not as much as French cars and Fiesta's.

I dont think having a corsa is uncool at all! I love mine to bits and wouldnt give it up at all! Feel like a twat driving my mums Audi tt cos it looks like "mummys car" and well it is really haa!
If u want to feel uncool try driving a "done up" nissan micra nuffin worse!!

alot of cars these days have a certain reputation about them what is hard to shake off and often stereotyped,
just get on with it you buy what you want, who cares?

Only thing that majorly bothers me is the attention it gets of skanky kids who think bending the door back should be done for fun cuz it's so easy.. I've got deadlocks etc but regardless I'm just waiting for it happen lol

That doesn't work. People think you're a dick for having a diesel.

Just speaking from my point of view, I'd probably think nothing of it and carry on my merry way.

Same here, although when I had my XE I used to think people would stare in awe as I went past them in there fancy car, turns out you think "dickhead"
