I’m a single mid-30s guy in KL. Upper middle income, not rich. I still drive a 10 year old Proton that I got from my fresh grad job. Still drives and looks ok.
I own and stay at a nice condo but drive a cheap car. I probably have the cheapest car in terms of residual value of the entire condo car park.
Got out of a 3y+ relationship. Been single the past 1 year. I used to take pride in being prudent but recently I’ve been dating around (nothing stuck so far) and I do get self-conscious when my date sees me driving an old Proton.
Should I buy a new car so it reflects my current financial level (no longer fresh-grad salary)? I’m thinking of getting an EV actually. There’s still time before the tax incentives expire this year.
Please no. If a girl is impress with your car, I would run away. If it's me I want the girl to like me not because of my car.I own and stay at a nice condo but drive a cheap car. I probably have the cheapest car in terms of residual value of the entire condo car park.

That's why I tell girls that I meet, I don't spend, I don't do overseas travelling or weekly makan , I got old car, my phone is like 4 years l old, my laptop is like 10 years old. Most walk away. Totally fine with me. That's the type of girls I want to filter out.
Don't get me wrong. I can buy a honda city, a Tesla with cash but nope. Not going to do that as my car is still functioning very well. Rarely spoil.
