    Don’t assume everyone replying in a way you don’t agree with lives in the US. I am speaking from experience living in the Luxembourg/Germany area…

    Even Germans take vacation to visit relatives and vacation homes. A range like that easily doubles a 200Km drive’s travel time.

    It’s good if you don’t long-distance travel by car, or if you use it as a secondary car for work commutes. Then it’s perfect.

      I knew that this argument would be the second possibility. German Reichweitenangst is strong with you, too it seems.

      Hilarious.If there was any European who is closest to the American car ethos, it’s got to be the Germans. Those autobahns, man. :)

        Trust me, Luxembourgers are worse. Germans have decent public transport in their metropolitan areas. Luxembourg otoh is more like US suburbia.
