You'll arrive about 1h 32m sooner (5h 24m by train vs 6h 56m by car). Tickets start at around €103 compared to roughly €91 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.
