good question over the name...they will push it through, the germans are fed up of through traffic so want in on the insta-tax-action

i know...you are right but for where i live (south east just outside london) the convenience of auto far outweighs the loss of mpg

yes i agree, they tyre thing should be applicable to all vehicles on that road and not just domestic vehicles using the road. No one is going to force you to fit them, but as said if you have an accident without them you will be held to blame accordingly. iirc Germany is starting to charge foreign motorists for using their road like the swiss and austrian vignette, if you have a search on google you will find some info, not sure if its this year or next.

na auto all the way... its good enough in auto with sport and tiptronic override if required but for everday driving (queuing) then auto rules!

i love mine, its a great engine! dont think you will get mega mpg, especially for town use, but i can get get over 500 to a tank on a run when i drive through france on the motorway. I also did Dartford to dover to rotterdam to amsterdam back to calais on a tank at christmas.. (around 500 miles).

Yes and the last place i used them allowed me to use a couple of vouchers at once which made for very cheap coffee. I think driving in germany is overrated however....driving back from Munich in october i drove through 23 sets (i counted in disbelief) of different roadworks and lengthy width restrictions. They are clever in the way they keep as many lanes open as possible, but at the lack of lane width and speed restrictions mean you hit rolling road blocks where traffic cannot disperse fast enough and people are not always confident to overtake in the reduced lane areas (often foreign vehicles). There is a LOT of traffic in general in germany, just like here! you want fun...come to italy...its like wacky races...but in real life!

browguard/faceshield, chainsaw trousers and boots are an absolute must phil!
