[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who's been riding in luxury vehicles a lot (other people drive me), I can definitely tell the difference in ride quality between a Toyota Highlander and an Acura RDX or Mercedes GLS. It adds another layer of insulation between you and the elements, so to speak. You also get all the nifty little things that's "shit this is nice" but not "my life depends on having this!" (panoramic roof is magical in the Model 3 and some other brands).

Now whether that is worth it is up to each person. I personally am not at the income level to feel comfortable dropping more than $30k on a vehicle, so I don't. But I don't fault people who make 5x what I do to drop 3x what I do on their cars. [/quote]

This exactly.  Of course there's a difference, and people who suggest otherwise either haven't experienced it or have a point to make in denying it.  The question is really whether it's worth it to you to pay for the differences.  For me, with my 15 minute commute, it isn't - I just bought a high trim level Honda, which has all the additional features but is in no way a comparable ride to the Mercedes and Audis my closest friends drive.  I'd rather spend that money elsewhere, or save it.  If I was in the car for an hour+ each day, I might feel differently.  [/quote]
