Take the train. On this route, it beats driving on both time and money.
The journey is about 4m faster (13h 12m by train vs 13h 16m by car) and roughly $140 (€115) cheaper once you factor in fuel and tolls ($83 (€68) vs $223 (€183)). You'll also arrive in the city centre rather than hunting for parking, and you can work, read, or watch the landscape go by instead of concentrating on the road.
Driving is still worth considering if you want to stop along the way or need a car once you arrive.
