Depends. I'm European and I'm not that young anymore so I'm not exactly the subject demography here but I think driving is tremendously enjoyable and cars can have an unexplainable personal connection to some people, including myself. However, what isn't and what certainly isn't cool is if I had to spend a half an hour on the road, driving to/from work each day. Going to the office, I just take the tram if weather doesn't suit cycling. I'd never move to a place where I'd need a car to go to work or do my chores. A few times a year I end up driving in rush hour traffic and each time just enforces that opinion of mine. I think that as soon as the car becomes a commodity, it loses much of its appeal. For me, it's still somewhat of a luxury: I could do without it. I keep a car because I love to go on long trips driving myself, instead of taking the train or bus. And I love to occasionally drive to some place where I have chores to do but I can't easily reach by public transit, such as shops and spare parts stores in industrial zones, or picking somebody up in downtown or airport. Or just drive to go swim in a neighbouring city where I know they have an especially nice pool. I clock maybe 15,000km per year doing that. And there are weeks I don't start my car once. But then again, I don't text much either. I don't even always take my mobile phone with me when I go out. So, go figure.
