I'm feeling generous today, so I decide to write a serious long post. Readers beware.

We should not judge a book by its cover, but most of us admittedly judge a person by the car they drive.
Below is a ranking of car models and the social status it represent in malaysian society.


shit tier: sub rm90k car
Driven by b40 families and young graduates.

New car: myvi, axia, saga, vios, city.
Used car: Doesn't matter if you drive a continental car, if the market value falls below 90k, it's probably shit tier, and that is okay. Shit tier doesn't mean its bad, as owning a car means you are quite well off than half of the world population.
Road presence: none, because it is very ubiquitous in the whole country, especially outside of KL.

mid tier: 90k - 230k car
This is your average middle class car. Chances are these are the cars that most people can possibly afford in their lifetime. Cars within this price range are very diverse, driven by middle class, it is practically half of the car owning population. People who drive luxury brand within this range likes to think they made it in life, but they are wrong.

New car: civic, corolla, mazda 3, bmw 218i.
Used car: vellfire, alphard, bmw f30, mercedes w205, cla w117, lexus etc.
Road presence: little, except for a few rare grey import cars like the honda s660.

top tier: 230k - 500k car
People who drive these cars are doing well in life, most of them have achieved their maximum potential.

New car: most BBA model range, porsche 718, volvo s60
Used car: yaris gr, mustang eco boost, mercedes s class, porsche panamera.
Road presence: some, particularly cars that is well polished, or less than 1-2 years old.

god-tier: 500k - 2 mil car
Congratz, when your car market value are within this range, you are not only legitimately made it in life, but you are in the 1%.

New car: Mass production super car such as huracan, 911, 488, vantage, 720s
Used car: rolls royce, bentley.
Road presence: 90% of these cars will turn head.

beyond god-tier: >2 mil car
Only a handful of malaysians will achieve this level.

New car: divo, sienna, cullinan, monza sp1
Used car: hypercars.
Road presence: 100%, even without entourage of escort vehicles and bikes.

---

Things that will lower your car social class:
- Non legitimate emblem on car plate
- Gaudy car mod
- Car plate that starts with KV
- Previous gen model

Closing word, I noticed a lot of malaysian have this perception that the car badge will increase other people's perception of their social class. Sorry, it will not. Please don't flex your maserati keyfob or steering wheel on ig. The only car factor that is indicative of your social class is the car's current market value, bar none.

actually who care?

You seem so care? You work as salesman / MLM / insurance err?

i dont know... i know several millionaire who drive Myvi and Pickup. They dont give a damn on car status. Those that i think they care a lot usually are those doing sales, insurance, ....

Shit post with skewed opinion.

" Nobody can see where you live but Everyone can see the car you drive "

This are the kind of kiasu ppl who believe in the car caste social status.

Depreciating stuff also can determine social status?

God tier 😳 btw what’s the purpose of this study

So what about this guy ?

the most stupid thread of the year on serious kopitiam has got to be this thread. congrats ts

1. So, you're critical of other's (which is the general Malaysian public) perception towards car brand, while providing inputs based on your perception of other people's perception.
Kind of ironic isn't it? Why judge other's when you're judgmental in the first place.

2. How is this thread "Serious Kopitiam" worthy?

3. Why sub 90k is considered "shit tier"? Is this based off your own opinion?

Shit tier starts at 90k
Meanwhile I trundles around in 4k car

The really rich ones are those is god tier and above. Anything below that any salary man can afford with 9 year loan.

Middle class drive 230k bmw and mercedes?

What weed ts smoking? Many t20 drive honda civic and mazda cx5 only

Lol trying to seek validation from other people. Insecure much?

A car doesn't prove your net worth. Usually you tell their net worth from their home address, the size of their house and how well built it is.

Many borrow on loans for the car but actually renting room. On the other hand, there are people who practice "stealth wealth" i.e. drive Toyota but actually have >RM10mil+ in banks.

Shit post shit thread. Delete this thread je.

Who gives a shit about all this? Caring about something that has no value whatsoever & is a liability.

why is this shit tered in serious kopitiam?

Sorry, been biker all my life... dont give a crap to any cager. cager is cager... SBK is life

Lucky me ayam b40 but manage to use mid tier cars.

Haha my millionaire sister owns and still drives a Myvi from 8 yrs ago. Any issues?

And please don't compare Saga and Axia with City or Vios.

Myvi is Lamborghini by the way.

So TS judge the potential of a person by what car they drive?

Police, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, can GTFO?

ford Mustang GT?

so my millionaire friend is in shit tier got it

cukur jalan kaki only

Means you have a good life, according to TS judging standard

Kesian

TS ur thread sure kena backfire

Most /k are average income barely hit nett 5k...Alot will trigger

But honest truth rich ppl that drive myvi/pick up....its just to disguise....house got alphard/merz/bmw u also duno

So far i've never seen millionaire just having myvi or house full with shirt tier car.....busuk2 oso 1 bijik alphard/merz/bmw

Those ppl that say only got myvi bcoz u duno him well so dunwan expose to u much

eii, good job mod who moved it here. totally not serious at all.

siapa buka tered, dia yg punggung cedera

haha
tered konon serius
got changed to normal /k from serius /k
pfff topkek

Stupid post. Deswai i prefer to livein angmoh country where they give less shit about what you have / own. Typical asian mentality pfffft

Plz share you garage photo

why need social status.. i do what i want lol

Actually they care...see how youtuber do interview of supercar drivers what they do for living

Diff is they dun care much abt merz/bmw/audi bcoz its cheap there

Unlike third world country having a merz/bmw is a status

in reality celery earner of RM 3.8k oredi owning civic ketam or allfarts...

Kekwa
Some truth
My taman many older bmw merz park inside house which barely reno or maintain
Most of the houses renovated nicely are with P1 P2 Jepun cars
Maybe only corner house are real T20 with god tier cars

God tier and above

Mostly illegal money

dllm hahaha sohai TS tered moved to kopitiam. Now u no longer protected by serious kopitiam rules. HAHAHA. Time to diu 99 this dumbtard IQ<60

Why KV though

no matter what car, if you put dark tint over your brake lights you automatically low class.

i no car. prefer use public transport. higher chance to know amoi than drive own car.

If their car price vs general salary over there also same like us they would also care..

Old school ways to judge someone's wealth. Branded stuff and cars. Hahahahhahahahahahhaha

Nowadays it's based on :
1) Which kindergarden, schools, uni their kids go to
2) How healthy they eat and which gym they go
3) Family heirloom and vacation house etc

this is true though

i know 2 sisters doing insurance together
the bigger sister top sales, MDRT but she owns no car at all

smaller sister sales not as good as big sister...keluar MB A class

I have to concur the info you attached here. It 100% accurate to a person that i know. Drive a 5 yrs Camry, has lots of money in banks and Unit Trust, still uding a 3 yrs old Samsung, has 3 kids at top uni with 2 self sponsored and 1 govt sponsored with very good ethics.

unnecessary stress in life.

i ok drive axia.

It is awesome if you can afford it but I’ve no plan to burden myself to buy expensive car.

Kesian tered kena backfire gila.

But majority amoi awek they dunno car prices one la, they see badges only.

Even some guy oso clueless regarding the car prices too. Only car enthusiast will dig the car prices. Really kek!

0 debt is the true winner

It's really stupid to judge status via the car he drives.

Many gated guarded high keras low dense semi D and Bungalow areas house not just comfortable cars for family but also budget cars for other purposes be it to morning market, for their sons daughters who just passed their driving license (mind you not all super rich train their kids to be char siew)

There's also many super homes and super condos owners who just drive a simple Japanese car or p1p2. But own multiple properties.

Car is a depreciating asset. Its bonkers to think any rich one would use this as a measure.

Insurance and mlm agents different story. They think as ts do bec they need to push sales and give char siew good first impression.

OK. Who the fuck cares

Not every rich guy is a car enthusiast and flaunt their wealth.

There are also many who drive expensive cars, but should be in the deep-shit tier because they max out their loans and are keeping the banks very happy.

Start missing payments, the deep-shit comes into effect.

This is how poorfags comfort themselves. U must be someone who is Probably struggling to pay for a shitbox Proton. At the end of the day, richfags dont care what u think. U are a nobody, u are not their target audience. Get that in your head. Nothing u say will change their mindset.u are Just a speck of dust in this universe trying to act smart but obviously is just an empty can

Can't possibly reply to all, thx to all that care so much about what i think. lol.

More power to you.

I'm judging solely on wealth, not profession. A person can choose to use his potential to accomplish many things. Depend on their destiny.

Those who triggered are those who give a fuck about what I think about what car they drive. And boi oh boi there are many.

That is the spirit.

Old but still a relatively effective way to measure, at least ballpark. Nowadays it's also about the experience.

Those that own a Bombardier or Gulfstream is under what category ?

Serious your category is too wide

90k car is considered B40 -then we are b80

My mother in law with last drawn salary of 40k still driving her mazda 2. Guess she is b40 according to you.

Car just take you from point A to B. Better next time robo taxi, we will not own any car and pay only when use.

Those who become slave to materialism is bodoh

Most importantly, TS u drive what year proton wira?

By the quality of thread u post, I assume at best is myvi basic spec je.

ayam know richfaq drive axia

and also and shitpoor joker drive BMW while renting room

priority bruh

>> its 2021 and some sohai still judge pipu by what car they driving
mod pls sus this sei sohai lumba ts

Rmb ts this kind of topic doesn't deserve to be at serious k.

So I'm in what tier ?

Still driving my 130y around since 1984.

usually someone who wrote this article should be under shit tier + daydreaming 1 day durian runtuh

Precisely because it is a depreciating assets, that people use it as a measurement. Depreciating assets has a higher threshold of affordability because ideally you need a higher disposable income in order to justify spending on it.

Just because you don't care doesn't mean its not there; just because it's there doesn't mean you should care.


I'm only judging on cars. Holistically these people that struggle to meet payments would be in the bottom barrel.

This is car ranking bruh.

You're right. "shit tier" should be further subcategorised into low, mid and upper.

Social status means shit unless you are a politician

to be honest car is always the measurement to gauge some1's wealth, although is not 100% true

u can say house la...kids la....bank account la. ..house maid la.....bla bla bla...takkan each time u meet a person u ask ppl background ??

dun blame why no amoi near u when u rich but stay humble looo..tats reality

Topkek. Know ur head la. Just say the name la. Tzia and sister la. I doubt u know her personally anyway. Probably ur fb or insta friend. She owns no car? Hahaha.. nxt time if u duno, dont simply say. Her real friends will laugh at u

Haha yea. Some ppl refuse to accept facts but instead go against it to comfort themselves for being poor. At the end of the day, u wanna progress, u need to let ppl judge u. And the only way u can judge someone is by car, because u cant ask someone to see their bank acc balance.

so ayam presume you are rich?

I know you might feel you're being clever, but like I said, who the fuck cares, like seriously cares?

Not rich but comfortable . Bmw 530i and few properties.

blow bigger lah since you already make thing up

i will feel the person weird or somewat awkward if u trying hard to proof that you're richhhh...but driving a shitty car

either u are something wrong or u got personality issue....or u just have no taste or mayb u dont know how to enjoy life

if im amoi...i will pass...wat for knowing a person rich but kedekut like hell

Some rich people take grab only lol

if you are financially savvy, which rich people are, you will be putting money in investments rather than in a depreciating asset

This post has been edited by Whatisthiswhat_: Nov 4 2021, 07:19 PM

popcorn ready

ayam know some people die die must drive second hand BMW and Merc

don't know head got knock somewhere or brain got cancer


while tyres already botak don't go change, even change also change second hand or cheap china brand tyre.

not everything u spent must be something to do with "appreciation value" .....u eat wagyu beef u expect your poo2 appreciate ??? so u rather opt for low class beef ??

its a depreciation asset....but in reality it gives you more intangible value i,e opportunity / trust factor / confident / priority / etc and it gives a bigger return

its all about how comfortable are you taking risk

so in what way a car give you good return?

all kubur still underground

got a feeling TS is those cry baby that will attempt suicide if father buy him a myvi

2nd hand bmw / merz not exp to be honest.....2nd hand bmw can get below 100k

even nowadays honda/toyota servis oso not cheap for a b-segment car

of course cheap, since it cost you arm and leg to repair

till one day if u're become a sales lead and start doing recruiting for downline

im not in sales btw

you mean MLM?

oh kesian

mvyi is king tier la bodoe TS

thats just 1 example bro....u really ned to go out and meet more ppl

harsh reality some customers do see your car as profile...if u running automotive/workshop/ industry

We have a failed govt and system, thats why peoples are comparing cars.
We should compare public transportstion instead.

Kek colleagues are millionaires drive potong and perodua jer
