I would agree with you.... a comfy car becomes a big asset on a daily commute.
Usually, work wears and stresses you out. A quiet, comfy car is a way of unwinding from it all.
IMO, for commuting, boring is good. Exciting is bad; exciting requires too much mental energy and too much discomfort.
Exciting is good for the week end, booting up Airport Rd to the cottage, or smoking it around the Caledon Hills.
Over the years, I have driven many cars, and I keep the exciting cars for weekend use, and drive boring during the week.
