You'll arrive about 38m sooner (1h 36m by train vs 2h 14m by car). Tickets start at around €67 compared to roughly €35 in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.
Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.
