I’ve started seeing a woman through a dating club, and she’s agreed to accompany me for a round of golf—but my car is pretty beat-up. I’d love to know how everyone feels about picking someone up by car, so I’d appreciate your answers to the following three questions.
This content is machine-translated.
(The comments in parentheses are questions for the women.)
1. The kind of car I’d like to pick her up in (the kind of car I’d like her to arrive in)
Example: A bright red Ferrari convertible, with the top down
2. The kind of car I drive (The kind of car someone has picked me up in)
Example: A five-year-old domestic SUV
3. An absolute no-go (If someone showed up in this, I’d slip away without letting them notice.)
Example: A company-branded commercial van
If you don’t mind, it would also be very helpful if you could mention the vehicle class, so I can get a sense of the going rates.

I hadn’t noticed there was a question like this.
If it’s a pickup for golf, I’d love an Alphard. My favorite papa (a male supporter) drives a large SUV, but it’s hard to get in and out of, so he lowers the suspension all the way whenever I get in—because I’m tiny.
I don’t like cars like the R8 or LC500 because I’m told to send my golf bag ahead of time. The person with the 911 can fit one golf bag and keeps his own set at the course, so I don’t have to send mine ahead.
Regular sedans are nice for going to the golf course too, though by “regular” I mean foreign cars, of course.
The absolute no-goes are probably cigarette smells and air fresheners. You don’t see them much these days, though.

Before getting in, I make sure I don’t smell bad, and after getting in, I’m careful about the car’s interior scent.
1. Nothing in particular.
2. A brand-new Japanese SUV—it’s been about a year.
(I’ve driven a Mercedes and an Audi in the past, but I’d occasionally mix up the turn signal and windshield wiper controls and look stupid, so I gave them up（笑）)
3. A Lexus convertible (I had it when I was seeing someone for a long time. I usually drove car #2, but she said, “That doesn’t suit your character at all, so stop it www”（笑）)
Other than that, I drive safely whenever I have someone with me.
Enjoy your golf!
The other day, I played a round with a woman for the first time outside of a tournament, and it was a lot of fun.

I can tell you’re trying hard, but if you try too hard, you’ll end up topping the ball and shanking everything, just like in golf.
① A car that doesn’t smell bad or look dirty
② Mercedes C-Class Wagon, GLE, GLS, G-Wagen
BMW X5, X6, 315 Coupe
Various Porsche models
Maserati
Various Lexus models
Crown
Century
Volvo XC90
③ Smells like cigarettes, smells bad, smells bad…
If the two of you are simply enjoying yourselves, it probably won’t matter unless the car is truly awful. Something too flashy can make the owner look like a walking display of vanity, too.
I know a company president who used to race overseas. These days, he drives a Volvo or Mercedes because he wants to drive comfortably in Japan.
Another president had gone through eight Ferraris before deciding, “I’ve had enough,” and switching to a Lexus.
There’s also someone in my neighborhood who drives an incredibly flashy Lamborghini, but… well, what can I say?
Anyway, I hope you have a really fun round!

Nana and Rin, what are you talking about?!
A kei truck is the ultimate two-seater. The cabin is so small that it brings you two much closer together（笑）
You should get a ride in one sometime. It’s fun...
Load your golf bags in the bed of the kei truck and drive to the golf course. But don’t play terribly once you get there. Everyone will be thinking, “What’s with that kei truck?!” and paying attention to you（笑）

I thought this was such a cute question—and you sound like a lovely papa (a male supporter). It’s wonderful that you’re thinking about the woman you’re seeing.
As for me:
① I don’t have any particular preference when it comes to cars.
② Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bentley, Maybach, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Japanese cars, and so on.
③ I’m not fond of cars that haven’t been cleaned or smell of cigarettes, since I don’t like the smell clinging to my clothes.
I once had a papa who loved cars and owned the six luxury cars listed above, but these days, I much prefer the papa who comes to pick me up in a Japanese car.
Being picked up in a luxury car and getting impressed looks from people around us was certainly a wonderful life experience. But you’re not dating the car—you’re dating the person driving it.
I absolutely adore my current papa, who is kind and considerate. So try not to focus too much on appearances, and pay attention to the woman’s feelings instead.
I hope you have a wonderful relationship♡

I don’t really mind unless it’s something like a kei truck or a rental car with the company name plastered all over it.
For one thing, I don’t even have a driver’s license myself, and I’m not particularly knowledgeable about cars.
The smell matters too. If the air freshener is too strong, I get carsick and it’s unpleasant.
The other day, it wasn’t a papa, but someone gave me a ride to play golf. The car was clean and comfortable, and they were an excellent driver, so the drive to and from the golf course was wonderful!

Many girls prefer not to attract attention through papa-katsu, so for starters, I’d recommend an understated car.
- Avoid flashy colors like orange, red, or yellow.
- It’s probably best to avoid sports cars with engines that sound like they’re about to explode, too.
That’s about it.
My papa (a male supporter) drives a Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Ferrari, though I felt a little embarrassed at first—especially in the Lamborghini.

① I don’t like them because they mess up my hair.
② Probably Mercedes-Benz, I guess.
③ A mini truck.
A Bentley SUV?
Ferrari
Porsche
Maserati
Lexus RX
C-HR
Harrier
Mercedes-AMG
Prius
Of course, I drive kei cars too.
Most of these belong to my boss, but I’m usually the one who drives them.
You can’t fit a golf bag in a Porsche at all.
The Harrier is pretty spacious, so I recommend it.
If you can’t decide, why not rent one?

Any car is fine as long as it’s clean and odor-free.
Don’t smoke—the smell lingers, and opening the windows doesn’t really help.
Even if it’s an expensive car, don’t brag about it.
Buy a sunshade so the woman isn’t sitting in direct sunlight. Depending on the situation, you could also have her sit in the back seat.
1. A self-driving car
2. A five-year-old used Lexus
3. A car that smells bad
