You'll arrive about 24m sooner (41m by train vs 1h 5m by car). Tickets start at around €30 compared to roughly €15 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.

Advantages

Friendly and competent staff

Good equipment and comfortable seats

no change necessary

Cleanliness and hygiene

Disadvantages

Toilet paper was missing from the toilet

Delay of 10 minutes

I found the journey from Nuremberg to Ingolstadt very relaxing, as the train was not overcrowded and I was even alone in the compartment. The carriage was therefore completely quiet. I also found the cleanliness here to be good. I found the toilets in particular to be hygienic. Unfortunately, there was no toilet paper, which I thought was absolutely essential. The staff here were also very friendly and competent. The seats were comfortable and there were also plenty of power sockets and internet, although this did fail from time to time. Unfortunately, the train here was delayed by 10 minutes, but I didn't find this too bad as I didn't have to change trains.

Advantages

Cleanliness

Disadvantages

Equipment

On the whole, the journey was satisfactory because everything important was met, such as punctuality, service and comfort. The wifi was displayed, but when you were connected to it, you still didn't have an internet connection, but that wasn't too much of a problem. I can only warmly recommend them!
