Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.
You'll arrive about 2h 11m sooner (6h 27m by train vs 8h 38m by car). Tickets start at around $233 (€190) compared to roughly $152 (€124) 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.
