You'll arrive about 3h 6m sooner (3h 40m by train vs 6h 46m by car). Tickets start at around zł759 compared to roughly zł466 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.
