Do cars still serve as status symbols in this day and age? I recently bought a top of the line 2025 Mazda3 Turbo. It's bright red. Looks stylish inside and out, yet I can't help but have second thoughts. With all the bells and whistles, this car was pushing $40k after taxes and registration. If cars are symbols of socio economic status, I wonder if I should have just paid a little more for a true luxury vehicle, like a BMW or Mercedes. Most people don't see Mazda as a high status luxury brand, so I'm wondering if people (specifically attractive women) really care about the kind of car you drive nowadays. Are they the symbols of wealth they used to be?
Are cars symbols of wealth?

Yes and a Mazda is a status for being poor.
Definitely not these two…
Lol.
No.
If you have to ask these questions you'll already NGMI. Women will smell your insecurity before you even open your mouth.

They never were, only among poor people. Any retard can finance an expensive car nowadays.
It has more to do with maturity. Mature people buy an understated sedan or something similar.
You bought a shiny red hot hatch based on an economy commuter car, what does that say about you?
Actually, I got the sedan version. Never cared for how the hatch looked.
cars are a symbol of wealth. however you are not truly wealthy. which is why you're having second thoughts about $40k on car. true wealth is when you have $40k on your wrist.
don't play this game. there is always a bigger fish. the guy i'm buy a business from has a real estate portfolio worth $10M. looks like any other old dude walking down the street.
Cars and watches are cope
Real status of wealth symbol is a young attractive woman
Any 40yr old can wear a watch
Few 40yr olds have an 18yr old woman by their side
In theory, but in practice they're symbols of debt.
not anymore especially not here in germany. most people see right past it. only very young (mostly arabic) males dont get it.
18yr old woman
You can get a fuckton of those in a third world shithole lool
Actually, I got the sedan version
I got the blue one, kind of wish i went with red
I got audi A3 sedan and foids are looking at me when driving. I wonder what would be if I have A6 or something similar
You know Audis have such a shit resale value because they're dumped by people who don't want to pay thousands in maintenance costs after just a few thousand miles
this, you can lease or loan any car even with poorfag salary, and any zoomer can 1000x on bitcoin with their parents money and drive lambo, so no its not a status anymore
This is the only status symbol I need desu.
if your house isnt worth atleast 20x the price of your car then youre a poser
Do cars still serve as status symbols in this day and age?
Only when the wealth is undeniable(car above 200k). But you won't be showing off your car keys when you're talking so what's the point? Just get good clothes or a watch instead.
Capital is invisible. Alot of niggers drive fancy cars with minus net worth. It doesn't say anything. Dude, think
$40k on a Mazda
BIG oof. You spent a lot to still look broke. The worst of both worlds.
[spoiler]Spending money to flex on randos who see you driving is peak goycore any way you slice it[/spoiler]
Next time just rent a car you're thinking of buying for a week or two and see how you feel after.
In 90% of cases it will become "just a car" like any other, same how when you buy the whatever newest phone it quickly becomes "just a phone" like any other
I saw a lambo the other day in my town. A lambo ursa painted flat black. It sure left an impression. I couldn’t stop laughing at how ugly it was. Some Barbie inside driving it.
and any zoomer can 1000x on bitcoin with their parents money and drive lambo
Yet you are stuck here since 2015 trying to do the same with a 20k portfolio. And how the fuck does a zoomer do a 1000x on fucking bitcoin you retard, that was possible for early adopters 10 years ago
Don't listen to boring broke retards on Anon Babble, what you drive and where you live is still the biggest status symbol. A mazda is not a symbol of wealth though, it just shows you are a regular adult with a stable job who can afford an okay car, which might be enough for most women.
Alot of niggers drive fancy cars with minus net worth
net worth doesn't matter when you have a large steady cashflow and you can use leverage well. Many faggots who slowly hoard money to take it to the grave get mogged hard by debtmaxxers
I used to work in some shitty neighborhood where houses must have been around $100k and there was this one house that always had a brand new Range Rover parked in the driveway -- pretty sure it was worth more than their house.
Based and 22 year-oldpilled.
true luxury vehicle, like a BMW or Mercedes
every third chin and jeet here is driving a bmw or mercedes. theyre absolutely garbage soulless pieces of shit now because theyre designed for the retard brown person market
if youre not rich, rich, having a decent, newish car thats clean and tidy is enough for most chicks. maybe an suv or something
if youre actually rich get a bentley or something that will stand out, it will still be a totally soulless piece of shit
This is my car
Guess my net worth
1 gazillion Zimbabwe Dollars
Not really. You should buy an expensive car because you like driving. Or this watch, will costs $35k yet I will probably never meet a single person in real life who recognizes the brand (while plebs kill each other over a Submariner allocation).
they are but not in the way you think. shit like BMW and Mercedes are ruined by jeets niggers and arabs driving them. true wealth is hidden inside something like an F150.
unfathomably based take. buy stuff to enjoy yourself and not to impress others. God bless

it's a nice watch anon. Shame the company is leftist culprit actively demonstrating against the afd. What a way to damage heritage, it's truly incredible. ANother reason to go for swiss instead of german. It all comes crashing down.
Considering they were a literal Nazi brand originally and now they’re just another Richemont company I’d say it’s a wash. Patek AP and Vacheron are just as cucked, they’re just cucked in other ways
I sold my 20k sportscar a month ago in order to buy another 1/3rd of a bitcoin. How fucking retarded do you have to be to buy a new car now of all times?
Someone who is wealthy enough to not give a fuck obviously.
muh 1/3 bitcoin
Fucking LMAO
UPX30 green id
Let's fucking go.
I drink the mazda3 hatch (car on the right). I don't care what the losers here say, it's a very good reliable car with decent performance and a solid interiors.
Mazda looking much better than bmw desu
In places where they are either hard to get or not required for day to day living, maybe, in places where you pretty much need one to get around, definitely not, unless it's over $60K.
But in general, don't be a retard and get something you like and not because it will get attention from others, spending tens of thousands of dollars to impress people who you otherwise don't give a shit about is cuck shit
You bought a shiny red hot hatch based on an economy commuter car, what does that say about you?
That I got something that I like and not for the sake of people I don't give a shit about.
Between 4 figures or 6 figures, hell, I know a guy who drives an absolutely beat to shit C class from 2006 despite being worth millions
I have a 2021 Mazda 3 hatch and I just love the look. Also no fucking touchscreen or touch controls inside were a giant fucking plus.
