Best Answer

Advantages:
You%26#039;re not sharing with anyone unless you want to (as opposed to public transport)
You have full control over the schedule and can go direct (very rare with public transport)
Safer than walking or riding a bike (and actually stable unlike bicycles)
Better for the environment than house and cart (which cars replaced) as well as safer (despite the higher speeds)
Reasonably fast
Oh and don%26#039;t underestimate how big an impact the convenience factor has, it is in many cases what allows both people in a marriage to work (since they%26#039;ll often have jobs far enough apart not to be able to live near both of them).

The disadvantages are the cost, the fact that even though they were a big improvement over the preceding technology they do still cause environmental problems and the continued existence of traffic jams.

Given that cars still exist it does seem that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages (otherwise we%26#039;d have gotten rid of them a long time ago).
