Porche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc are a waste of money. After a certain price point, the overall comfort and safety are just the same in Honda, Toyota, Subaru, etc. In the end, it is about gas vs all-electric: Tesla or No tesla.

Within 2 weeks of owning the BMW I was exactly as happy with it as I was originally with the Nissan, but from that point forward I could no longer tolerate anything less than BMW or similar.
My average cost of vehicle ownership went up like 1200% since then for every car after the BMW. Net gain in happiness has been practically zero.
If you aren’t actually interested in cars, the primary reason to own one of these luxury cars is the fact that your vehicle is traditionally used as a direct proxy for how wealthy you are (which is why they can help you appeal to certain women, who are also generally just as disinterested in cars as you are).
