What your car communicates about your personality? If you are wanting to "communicate" a favourable impression (eg. sexy, sporty, adventurous, conservative, etc.) to others, and IF you have the economic resources to purchase the desired vehicle to create that impression, regardless of all the reasons why the purchase is NOT really based on "practicality," then you can purchase a care that does communicate "you" to others.
I guess what YOU think your choice in vehicle communicates, however, may differ from what others interpret, since we are all capable of independent assessment skills.
With focus now on the question itself, colour, style, brand, features, add-ons, size, capabilities, other qualities, all communicate something about you.
I think it would also be worthwhile to reassure those who cannot afford to "choose" what they really want, that even if your vehicle is abit used, abit of a "junker", maintain it as well as you can. Even maintenance, that "clean, cared for" appearance, communicates alot about you; although, the younger folk may not be as appreciative of that part of your personality.
I haven’t really commented on specific qualities here, because they are so varied. I will, however, mention that my first vehicle in the late 70′s, I was able to purchase because my father had impressed upon me that I must be able to pay "cash" for my "first car." You can bet I was older than most people when I purchased my first vehicle as a result. Although I always wanted something "sporty" (a Jeep CJ), with my father’s gentle advice, I settled instead for a Ford Mercury Capri, light flat blue. And, you know, that little "baby" lasted me like, 10 years! I received many compliments about the colour and style, as well as my upkeep of it (the "maintenance" part of it), that is until I married, had baby, and worked full-time. The colour blue, for me, communicated some restraint, yet calm, cool demeanor. The style communicated again, some restraint and orderliness, a desire to remain in the background. It served me for that decade of time in a very practical way, although my spouse always teased me about my choice (his premarital transportation included used BMW motorcycles and a used CORVETTE). After marriage, I allowed him to sell my Capri in order to purchase a well-used but "clean, maintained"-appearing VOLVO. Unfortunately, this "Volvo" had "issues" unknown to him at purchase, for which we suffered the consequences later, financially.
Although my spouse still scans the online market for his "dream" car – currently, I believe it revolves on a "Camaro" of some type – we try to maintain our current SUV, which has deteriorated over the past 8 years, because we will not be able to afford a replacement any time in the future.
In conclusion then, just remember to question yourself about why you are purchasing a particular vehicle. If you aren’t good enough without a particular type of vehicle, then you may not be good enough without it either. Eventually, people do see and get to know who you are, with or without the vehicle.
