[quote=Anonymous]There used to be a much more noticeable difference between luxury and regular cars back in the day, but that started changing circa 2000.

Are there still differences? Sure. But whether it's worth it is entirely up to you. Your Japanese models (Honda, Toyota, Subaru) are still more reliable and likely will last longer with fewer trouble than a German luxury model. And will cost you less money too. And people no longer get a wow factor with a luxury car given how ubiquitous they are. I live in a higher end neighborhood and I'd argue that the percentage of cars that are "luxury" has declined over the years as people replaced their Mercedes and BMWs with Subarus and Toyotas, and it's not for financial reasons either. As one of my neighors commented, "we bought nice cars for a while because they were indeed nicer and it was also a reward for working so hard, but now we don't see the point anymore." Where I live, the only car that gets notice is the Tesla.

Luxury German cars have been said to be overengineered, and if you are someone who truly cares and derives value from a powerful engine and all the bells and whistles, then the car can be a great toy for you. But if you just want a comfortable car to get from point A to point B, it's a waste of money.
