The questions seem aimed at a lads mag type audience.
The difference between a £60k car and £10k car in that they do the same job? that question hardly deserves an answer.
Plush seats? well yes nicer to be in warm safe comfort than in some boneshaker.
Loud/sporty engine when being revved? well if you're mentally or emotionally 14 years old then yes a loud exhaust to compliment your reversed baseball cap would be ideal, some groups of immature young men are impressed by such things, the rest of us couldn't really care less.
Impressing girlfriend? i doubt anyone here would want anything to do with a woman who's attracted by a car, gold-digger alarms ringing loud, but each to their own.
Social groups? what's a social group when it's at home, is that the same as fitting in or so called peer pressure? well to be perfectly honest i couldn't care less what anyone else thinks of my car choice, if it annoys certain types of people (and i'm sure it does because its a large 4x4) then i regard that as a bonus, and i doubt if there'es anyone else here who gives a damn what i drive nor cares what i think about their choice.
Other people's desires? it takes all sorts to make a world, so the reasons why are limitless.
Cheaper cars? most people cut their cloth according to their means, there are many well off people who run cheap new or cheap old cars for a vareity of reasons too, each to their own.
As for me, i buy what i want, i have no interest in the badge, other than i respect Toyota and other Japanese makes for many reasons, mainly because they stand by their product and don't rely on buyers completing R&D, hence i drive a 12 year old Landcruiser and my wife drives her totally reliable 15 year old Subaru, which is her muddy dog carrier, we also have what was once a luxury car, a 21 year old Merc, i wonder if people look down on us because we run (and prefer) old cars, i do hope so.
