Unfortunately you will realise as i did that the "chav cars" are chosen by hooligans for a reason, they're generally small lightweight cars that are relatively cheap to insure because of engine size and go as well as a larger car because of their weight. I ended up with a nova but it's far from chav, more like shopping wagon
Fiesta might be worth a look, generally avoided by the majority of what most people would call chavs. Ford KA if you can stomach driving a girls car for the small consolation of not looking chavvy
I used to have Novas but my flatmate at uni was big on them and eventually convinced me, they're actually not bad cars, well i lie, they're total crap, but they're fairly reliable and light as hell so shift pretty well on small engines. (According to the haynes manual a basic spec nova weighs 20kg less than a mk2 lotus elise) Also if you can work on an rc car you can probably rebuild a nova from component parts with a haynes manual
Just don't crash in one, they have very little in the way of body panels in the way, and you can forget about door bars too
Other than that look at larger cars, probably be hell to insure because of the all round larger engine sizes and it'll be slow as hell, but it will work, and you might be better off in an accident
