Agreed. Opportunity cost is at play here.
The Prius, Corolla, Golf TDI, and Outback were also on my list of used vehicles I was considering purchasing. I choose the TSX because my grandpa generously donated $6k if I choose the TSX. He just wanted to see me drive a nice car.

I primarily view my car as a tool, but I also have a good deal of fun driving a sporty 210hp car. I'd probably get serious about buying a used Lotus Elise if I didn't already own a sport bike.
