Due to changed circumstances and living in major urban (though geographically small) area, I anticipate driving less over the next couple years (maybe 5000 miles/yr). Do I ever feel like the m235 is 'too much car' for my purposes? Actually, I don't. I'm too busy enjoying the heck out of the car when I'm driving it.
If I were to step back from it and look at it very rationally, I'd probably have to admit that I could get by just fine with a much lesser car. Of course, that's really true for almost everyone. We could all get by just fine with a KIA or something if we really had to. Fortunately, we don't. Bottom line... if you like the car and it doesn't negatively impact your personal finances, life's too short not to drive a car you really like.
