Lots of that is lost if you buy one just to tool around in on Sundays.
Yes, if you're putting serious time behind the wheel, you need a car that makes it effortless. My C class would do that. More than once I did 8 hour round trips to visit family. Thing is my '16 Jetta delivers the same experience with less fuel burned (and regular too). I guess there's a seat for every butt.
