Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.

You'll arrive about 2m sooner (34m by train vs 36m by car). Tickets start at around €34 compared to roughly €6 in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.

Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.

I travelled by train from Cologne to Neuss to visit a friend there. Unfortunately, the train arrived late, which wasn't great. I had to change trains once during the journey and it took just over an hour in total. However, the train was otherwise in good condition and very well maintained. There was even wifi. My experience with Deutsche Bahn was therefore quite positive.
