Probably depends a lot on where you want to live and where you will live. Where I live now it'd be madness to want a car, just a huge obligation to take care of with very little use. Decent chance I'll feel a bit different when I buy a place and am living in an area with much less frequent public transport options (but much more space to just leave a car sitting). I would rather stay where I am than move out to somewhere like that though; and I don't think I'd ever see it as a positive trade beyond the ownership vs rental aspect.
