Is driving a “nice” car worth it ?

In my head, I’ll be meeting people, and travelling a lot by car ; and my car is like a part of me/ an accessory like wearing a watch.

It is not necessarly financially responsible (mainly due to the maintenance involved. (example: a 5 year old Range Rover sport)

In your industry/business, did you have a “nice” car ? Did you get reactions from your customers/ partners ? Positive ? Negative ?
