I think a good comparison is, it’s like a plane, but without any of the problems: no security, more legroom, better food, less noise, no long layovers, and at a lower price.
As to prices, Warsaw Kraków (150 mi, 250km) first class on PKP will cost 20 USD or 18 GBP, with a train every hour, and will get there in 2h 40m, but a car will take 3h 30m.
