No, it doesn't. It depends on the context/situation/personal preference of the owner. I live way out in the sticks. A car is essential.

Privately owned cars are not essential, you just think they are. Humans have lived quite happily without them for the last few thousand years. We’ve just changed the way we live to suit the convenience of motorised transport.

Yeah - growing your own food, trapping animals from the forest and marrying within a 5 mile radius generation after generation is such a good idea, cannot think why we gave it up You try living in the country and relying on a twice a day bus service (if you are lucky) and see how you get on.... private transport is indeed essential for vast swathes of the population that do not live in an urban environment.
