The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Luxury Cars
Overview
Is a more expensive car always better? If you’re driving a $20,000 vehicle, should you aim for a $30,000 or even a $40,000 model? The answer, as always, is: it depends.
The Good
Owning a luxury car certainly makes a statement. It can enhance your image, potentially win you more respect, better service, and maybe even more social opportunities. Luxury vehicles usually back up their prestige with superior materials like real wood and aluminum, soft leather, and enhanced sound insulation.
Performance is another strong point. Luxury cars often boast more powerful engines, better brakes, and smoother suspensions. Many models also feature rear-wheel drive, making for a more engaging driving experience. Additionally, ownership tends to be more pleasant with premium customer service and extended warranties.
The Bad
However, luxury comes at a cost. Upgrading from a compact to a luxury vehicle can set you back significantly. For instance, moving up from a Mazda 3 to a BMW 3-series can cost an extra $12,000. The gap widens with higher-end models: upgrading from a Honda Accord to an Acura RL might cost $25,000 more, and jumping from a Toyota Avalon to a BMW 750i could require an extra $40,000. Maintenance costs can also be prohibitive?"BMW parts, for example, are notoriously expensive.
The Ugly
In recent years, luxury brands have tried to justify their high prices with complex technology, often at the expense of user-friendliness. Systems like Mercedes' COMAND, BMW's iDrive, and Audi's MultiMedia Interface can be confusing. Even Japanese, American, and British luxury brands have followed suit with overly complex electronics. What’s the use of a top-tier stereo if you need to consult the manual just to change the station? These tech issues have also affected reliability, leading to lower rankings for some manufacturers. There’s nothing luxurious about a frustrating user experience.
Conclusion
If you’re willing to invest the time and patience, the world of luxury cars offers some of the best driving experiences available?"at a price.
