Just as some people think driving a brand new 2018 car on PCP with monthly payments, but it has great fuel economy is the way forward. Whilst others are happy kicking around in an old E class Merc which a few dents and scratches, which drinks a little more fuel, and needs to be topped up with oil every few thousand miles...
Who is going to paying less per year for their motoring, who is going to be traveling in more comfort, and which car is more likely to be stuck in limp home mode or on the back of an AA recovery truck? People end up justify their choices in their own way. :-)
