You'll arrive about 1m sooner (1h 15m by train vs 1h 16m by car). Tickets start at around $39 compared to roughly $26 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.
