Because even in traffic it's more pleasant to drive than your average rental car. (assuming your traffic is steadily moving traffic, stop and go might be another story) If you've got to sit in stop and go, you may as well be comfy with a great stereo and well isolated from the outside. I'm very rarely ever in real stop and go.

And that's besides the appreciation for the aesthetics and engineering excellence.

When I had mine, I used it as a daily driver. Even for the year that the AC was out, I used it daily. It was still better than most other vehicles out there.
